If you're on a tight budget and mainly focused on casual gaming with good motion handling, the AOC 24G2SPU is an economical choice with a higher refresh rate beneficial for smoother gameplay. However, if you are a professional in digital photo and print editing who requires superior color accuracy and a larger, higher resolution screen, the Asus PA329C will be the better investment despite its premium price. The Asus model also has better connectivity options for versatile setups. Keep in mind that while the AOC may be more suitable for gaming due to its higher refresh rate, the Asus is better suited for productivity tasks and media consumption due to its larger, sharper display.

How the AOC 24G2SPU (IPS) and the Asus PA329C (IPS) compare to other monitors
"Even at 32 inches, it’s just five inches larger than most professional display monitors, the ASUS ProArt Display PA329CV monitor seems a lot bigger. The color accuracy on the unit I received was excellent, and viewing high-resolution image files on it was pleasing to the eyes. It’s Calman verified, so you can be assured of Hollywood studio-quality color straight out of the box. With multiple USB ports on the monitor and HDMI and USB-C connectivity options, it stands up to the well-established Benq PhotoVue series of monitors."
