If you're looking for a monitor that's easier on the wallet and still delivers excellent picture quality for HDR gaming and media, the Phillips 27E1N8900 could be a solid option. It also provides very high color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing. However, for competitive gaming, the ViewSonic VX2776 with its higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate range is better suited to reduce motion blur and improve responsiveness, but it will come at a premium price. Both monitors offer the deep blacks and infinite contrast of OLED, but prioritize different user needs. Choose the Phillips if HDR and photo editing are your focus and spending less is a priority, or the ViewSonic if competitive gaming performance is worth the extra cost to you. Give Feedback
