If you prioritize high-resolution work such as photo editing, with a focus on accurate colors and deep contrasts, the Asus PA27DCE with its superb color accuracy and contrast would serve you well, though it falls short in gaming and productivity due to the lower refresh rate and response time. On the other hand, the LG 45GR95QE-B offers a wider screen and better gaming performance with a higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate support, while also being less expensive. However, for tasks demanding the highest color accuracy, it doesn't match the Asus and its curved form may not be ideal for all productivity or professional editing tasks. Give Feedback
