Against the Samsung LC27RG50, the ASUS monitor has the upper hand in terms of response time but trails behind in refresh rate. Unfortunately, Samsung’s website doesn’t reveal how much of the DCI-P3 or sRGB color space it covers.
Against the LG27GL650F, the ASUS monitor packs a higher refresh rate and response time but could fall behind in terms of color reproduction, brightness, and viewing angles.
Lastly, against the AOC G27G2, the ASUS monitor once again has the upper hand in terms of refresh rate, but the G2 boasts more coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, and is slightly cheaper.
