If color accuracy is crucial for tasks like photo editing, the Asus PA329C will serve you well with its wide color gamut and high AdobeRGB coverage. However, if you prioritize a better balance between productivity, gaming, and media consumption, along with a higher brightness for HDR content, the Innocn 32M2V offers very good value, especially as it is often significantly less expensive. It also has a higher refresh rate, which is beneficial for smoother gameplay. The Asus might be the better choice for professional print photo editing, but for a mixed-use case with an eye on budget, the Innocn provides a compelling package. Give Feedback

How the Asus PA329C (IPS) and the Innocn 32M2V (IPS MiniLED) compare to other monitors
"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."
"Whlie not perfect, the Innocn 32M2V is an excellent HDR gaming monitor if you want a 32″ 4K high refresh rate display – just make sure you’re familiar with all its flaws. If you’ve been waiting for a 32″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with proper HDR support, the Innocn 32M2V is the first model available at a reasonable price."
