If you prioritize a large, immersive display and top-notch HDR gaming and media consumption, the AOC PD49 would be a superb choice despite its high price. However, this monitor is not optimal for productivity tasks due to lower text clarity and image sharpness. On the other hand, the Asus PG34WCDM is less expensive and offers good HDR performance and image clarity, making it more versatile for media and productive work. It's a smaller screen but has a good balance for gaming and media use. If you want to save money and need a monitor that can handle various tasks well, the Asus is the better option. Give Feedback
