If you're a competitive gamer looking for the best performance and don't mind spending more, the ViewSonic XG272 with OLED may suit you with its faster response times and higher refresh rates, enhancing competitive gameplay. For a balanced choice between gaming, media consumption, and productivity while saving some money, consider the Nubia RedMagic GM001J with its MiniLED IPS panel, which offers good image quality and vibrant colors across different uses. However, for the most immersive HDR gaming and media viewing, the higher brightness and contrast of the RedMagic may be more satisfying, even if its refresh rate isn't as high as the ViewSonic.
