If you prioritize professional photo and digital editing or require accurate colors for print work, the Asus PA329C with its strong color accuracy would be a beneficial investment. However, if you're an avid gamer seeking the best performance with high refresh rates, low response time, and excellent contrast, especially in HDR gaming, the Corsair 45WQHD240 would offer a superior experience despite its higher price. The Corsair's ultra-wide screen also immerses you more in gameplay and media but isn't as suited for productivity tasks that benefit from the Asus's larger color gamut and screen resolution.

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."
