Which is better!
LG Ultragear
The LG 27GN750 is a very good gaming monitor aimed primarily at the competition and nervous gaming enthusiasts. The responsive 240 Hz IPS panel associated with G-Sync / FreeSync compatibility provides a fluid, crisp, and precise image, especially since this monitor is well calibrated right out of the box. Its uncomfortable Full HD definition in everyday life and its low contrast does not allow it to obtain the maximum score, but if your primary use is video games, it remains an excellent choice and a very good alternative to the Asus TUF Gaming VG279QM – a little better equipped, but more expensive.
ASUS ProArt
In these days of widespread telecommuting, the Asus ProArt PA278QV is proving to be a very good companion for image professionals who need a well-calibrated monitor. This model has flawless ergonomics, complete connectivity, and appreciable FreeSync accounting. We can simply blame it for the lack of a USB-C port which would have made it a perfect companion for laptops, as well as its limited contrast.
