If exceptional contrast and fast response for high-level competitive gaming are important to you and you're willing to invest more, the AOC AG456UCZD with its OLED panel is a suitable choice. However, for sharp text and better image clarity for productivity tasks, along with more consistent color for digital photo editing, the Asus PA329CV would be a better fit, and it comes at a significantly lower price. The AOC is tailored for immersive and high-performance gaming with its very high refresh rate, but the Asus provides higher resolution for detailed work and media consumption, although it won't perform as well in gaming due to its lower refresh rate.
