The Aorus CV27F uses a Samsung SVA panel:

The VG278QR is a TN based panel:
https://www.asus.com/Monitors/VG278QR/specifications/

Unless you specify the type of games you play it's very hard to make a recommendation here icon_idea.gif

Also, since you are watching videos on it - the CV27F is a much better buy (VA panels have very good contrast and nicely saturated colors which makes it very good for videos especially in dark scenes) icon_idea.gif
TN, on the other hand have high response times and refresh rates, but often trades image quality away icon_idea.gif

IMHO you should really need to go 1440p for 27 inch as the pixels can look quite large for 1080p at 27 inches icon_idea.gif

If you are talking about this model:

Personally I'd avoid this model for a good reason:

1. 4K at 28 inch often means scaling issues - 4K is recommended on 32 inch and above
2. Gaming at 4K60 requires very high GPUs (FYI, even the 2080 Ti still struggles at 4K60 without resolution scaling/turning down settings)
3. It's a TN panel, which is poor when it comes to content consumption due to low color performance
4. 60Hz is just not decent when it comes to PC gaming these days

IMHO you'll better off getting a 1440p 144Hz monitor instead (it's quite a bit more expensive, but bear in mind that moving from 60Hz to 144Hz is much more tangible than going from 1440p to 4K) icon_idea.gif
