If you prioritize high-quality image editing for print with excellent color accuracy and can invest more, the Asus PA329C could be a suitable choice. However, for a balance of price and performance, the Innocn 27M2V offers better value, especially for HDR gaming and media consumption, competitive gaming, and productivity, with great color reproduction and higher brightness. It’s smaller and less expensive while still providing a sharp, clear image, but it may not match the Asus in professional photo editing tasks. 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."

"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
