Our Verdict
LG 27GS95QE-B
ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG
The LG 27GS95QE-B and the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG are very similar 27-inch OLED gaming monitors. The ASUS is a better option if you prefer the vividness of a glossy screen. The ASUS is also a better choice if you find VRR flicker distracting, as it has a setting to reduce this, though it causes some stutter. However, the LG is better if you prefer a more consistent display in different lighting conditions with its matte screen. It's also a better choice if you plan to use the Xbox Series X|S with your monitor, as it's more compatible with that console.

Anyone had the two at the same time? I have 27GS95 since few days but as I can see from comparing 27’‘ OLEDs in the table at rtings there is no other monitor with a significantly higher brightness than the LG. Only the XG27AQDMG is almost equal to the LG in HDR.
