The Asus PA279CRV offers higher contrast and a slightly brighter screen which may improve overall viewing experience, but it has a smaller screen size compared to the Asus PA329CV. The larger PA329CV might enhance your productivity and media viewing with its bigger display but does not perform as well for color critical work given its limited color gamut coverage compared to the PA279CRV. If digital photo editing is important to you, the PA279CRV stands out as it covers a greater range of colors. Both are not ideal for HDR gaming or video editing. If budget is a concern and you need high color accuracy for professional photo work, the PA279CRV is a good choice, while for more screen real estate at a higher price and satisfactory color performance, consider the PA329CV.
