If you prioritize competitive gaming, the AOC AG456UCZD with its high refresh rate and very good response to ghosting offers a smoother experience and is less expensive. It also has a larger screen and ultrawide aspect ratio, which is immersive for gaming but less ideal for tasks that favor a traditional aspect ratio. On the other hand, the Asus PA32DC excels in color accuracy and clarity, making it superior for digital photo editing and media consumption, though it has a lower refresh rate which is not optimal for high-speed gaming. The Asus also has a higher resolution, providing sharper images for productivity and media. If cost is less of a concern and you value professional-level color fidelity and sharpness over gaming performance, the Asus might be the better choice. Give Feedback

The undisputed champion of content creation monitors might still be the Apple Pro Display XDR for some, but the Asus PA32DC OLED puts up a heck of a fight for several grand less."
