If you prioritize digital photo editing and print photo editing, the Asus PA329C offers better color accuracy and a wider range of colors, making it an excellent choice despite its higher price. However, for more general productivity tasks and casual gaming, the Asus PA329CV provides good performance and image clarity at a more affordable price, which could be a better fit if those are your primary uses. Neither monitor is tailored for competitive gaming or high-end HDR video editing, so if these are your main interests, you might want to consider other options. Give Feedback

Feroz Khan | February 2022
"Even at 32 inches, it’s just five inches larger than most professional display monitors, the ASUS ProArt Display PA329CV monitor seems a lot bigger. The color accuracy on the unit I received was excellent, and viewing high-resolution image files on it was pleasing to the eyes. It’s Calman verified, so you can be assured of Hollywood studio-quality color straight out of the box. With multiple USB ports on the monitor and HDMI and USB-C connectivity options, it stands up to the well-established Benq PhotoVue series of monitors."
