If you're focused on precise colors for digital and print photo editing, the Asus PA27DCE with its high color accuracy and larger color gamuts is a solid choice, especially with its 4K resolution that is beneficial for HDR gaming and media. However, if your priority leans towards an expansive and immersive gaming or productivity experience, the LG 45GS95QE offers a wider screen with a curved display and a higher refresh rate that enhances fluidity during use. Keep in mind that while the LG excels in an ultra-wide format, it may not match the Asus in terms of color precision for professional photo editing tasks. Give Feedback
