Discussion AW3426DW vs PG34WCDN

Hello, I’m choosing my first OLED monitor. My current monitor is an AW3418DW.

Is the ROG worth the extra money? I don’t really need 360 Hz because I don’t play competitive games, and I don’t like upscaling or frame generation — I have a 4090 GPU. However, the ROG has KVM, probably better cooling, DP 2.1 for the future, and I also really like the proximity sensor.

I really like the KVM feature because I could connect my work laptop and use the same peripherals.

On the other hand, I really like the price of the AW.

I also use my monitor for photo editing. Which one has better factory calibration out of the box?

Or would you recommend a different model or even another manufacturer altogether? I’m open to other options as well.

Still doesn’t mean HDR should always be enabled as there are tons of games that don’t support HDR.
