If you're a competitive gamer or enjoy ultra-wide experiences, the Acer Predator X45 with its OLED panel and higher refresh rate would deliver a more immersive and responsive gaming experience. However, if digital photo and video editing are your priorities, the Asus PA32UCG-K with its IPS MiniLED panel and higher pixels per inch would provide better image clarity and a wider range of colors for more precise work. For HDR gaming and media consumption, both are suitable, but the Asus offers a higher screen resolution, which can enhance your viewing experience. The choice depends on whether you prioritize gaming performance and price, or professional media production quality and detail. Give Feedback

Mark Pickavance | May 2021
"Combining features that designers and content makers need, the Asus ProArt PA32UCG-K Display represents the true cost of accurate colour. It’s expensive, heavy and has weird OSD controls, but the screen is glorious when working with HDR video or game graphics."
