If you prioritize an immersive experience with a wide display for both gaming and media, the AOC PD49's larger size and higher refresh rate make it a strong choice, especially for casual and competitive gaming where screen real estate and fluidity is key. However, if your focus is on high-quality digital and print photo editing, the Asus PA32DC with its superior color accuracy and detail might be more suitable, even at a higher cost. The AOC PD49 is not ideal for productivity due to its large size and lower text clarity, whereas the Asus may suit productivity tasks better but falls short for gaming due to its lower refresh rate.

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."
