If high-resolution image and video editing is a priority, the Asus PA329C with its larger screen and superior color accuracy is better suited for these tasks, though it comes at a higher cost. Conversely, the LG 27GP850 has a higher refresh rate and better motion handling, making it more suitable for a smoother gaming experience but at the expense of color precision and screen size which might not be ideal for professional creative work. If budget is a concern and everyday gaming is more your focus, the LG offers a more cost-effective choice while still providing good image quality. 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."

"In my opinion, the LG 27GP850 is the best in its class from the monitors I've tested, with the combination of great response times and a functional sRGB mode pushing it over the edge. It's generally worth the price premium and its overall balance of features with few weak areas makes it a monitor you won't be disappointed to have."
