Both are 27", are you asking about the 1080P or 4K? Since you asked for downsides, here's what I can think of:
- Both have a basic 60Hz refresh rate, if you're gaming you can find similarly priced monitors with higher refresh rates.
- The 300 nit brightness is average, nothing earth shaking and won't truly impress you in HDR content.
- Built-in "Smart" functionality is always eventually deprecated. You might get a few years out of it if that interests you, but I wouldn't factor it into comparative pricing. I see it as a short term gimmick that can be easily handled by other devices.
- No audio out. If you use it for "smart" streaming, all you get are the built in speakers.
I have an older 32" samsung smart monitor and the speakers are terrible, I would check reviews for that

It supports ARC so you can get audio out for a sound bar, which is what I did with mine.

Possibly in a limited-space area where you would like to use the same screen/device for both work and entertainment purposes.
