If you prioritize high-resolution images for digital photo editing, print photo editing, and better image clarity for productivity tasks, the Asus PA329C with its larger screen and higher resolution might be the right choice, despite its higher price. However, if you're focused on competitive gaming, the Dell AW2524H offers superior performance with its extremely high refresh rate and features geared towards reducing ghosting, at a lower price point. The Dell monitor won’t be as suited for tasks requiring accurate color reproduction, like professional photo editing. Neither of these monitors are the best option for HDR gaming or media consumption. 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."

"If you have the system for it, the Alienware AW2524H is the perfect display to show off next level frame rates and control response. With higher contrast and color volume than its 360 Hz competition, it currently has no equal."
