If color accuracy for digital photo editing or print photo editing is crucial to you, the Asus PA329C with its high coverage of professional color gamuts would be a better choice. On the other hand, if you prefer deep blacks and high contrast for HDR gaming and media consumption, the Innocn 32Q1U with its OLED panel excels in these areas. However, for tasks involving text clarity and sharpness, both monitors offer similar performance. Neither is particularly suited for competitive gaming due to their modest refresh rates and response times, but for casual gaming, the Innocn provides a slightly better experience. If versatility in connectivity is important, the Asus has more USB ports, expanding your options for connecting peripherals. Give Feedback

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."
