If you're looking for a monitor that excels in casual gaming and general productivity at a midrange price, the AOC 24G2SPU is a solid choice. It offers a good refresh rate and is suitable for digital photo editing. However, it's not the best option for competitive gaming, HDR gaming, or media consumption, and its image clarity and color performance are adequate but not exceptional. On the other hand, the Asus PA32UCG-K, while at a premium price, provides excellent image quality, is suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption, and its high color accuracy makes it fantastic for digital and print photo editing. It's also better suited for productivity with its larger screen and higher resolution. This monitor is ideal if you're seeking top-notch performance and are willing to invest more. Give Feedback

Tech Radar
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."
