The Asus PA329C is a solid choice for productivity and digital photo editing with its accurate color representation and adjustable stand, making it suitable for office work and casual gaming. However, its 60Hz refresh rate may not satisfy competitive gamers. On the other hand, the Asus PA32DC offers an exceptional contrast ratio and peak brightness, delivering vibrant colors and deep blacks, ideal for HDR gaming and media consumption, though its casual gaming performance is less impressive. If budget is a concern and you prioritize productivity and photo editing, the PA329C is the way to go. But if you're looking for a superior HDR experience and have the budget for it, the PA32DC's OLED panel will provide a more immersive visual experience. Give Feedback

"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."

"All in all, the Asus PA32DC OLED is a superbly crafted display for experts in their craft. From filmmakers to colorists and everyone in between, this OLED display comes with just about everything that’ll satisfy professionals and enthusiasts. The undisputed champion of content creation monitors might still be the Apple Pro Display XDR for some, but the Asus PA32DC OLED puts up a heck of a fight for several grand less."
