If high-resolution digital photo editing is important to you, the Asus PA279CRV with its very good color gamut coverages and sharp text quality could be the better choice, particularly given its lower price. However, if you prefer an ultra-wide screen with a more immersive experience for productivity tasks or casual media consumption, the LG 34WQ75C would suit you better, despite the higher cost. Neither monitor is ideal for competitive gaming due to their poor refresh rates and total response times, but for casual gaming, both are adequate. Neither are suitable for high-end HDR video editing or HDR gaming. Give Feedback
