If you prioritize affordability and digital photo editing, the Asus PA329C with its excellent color accuracy could be the right choice. However, if you're a competitive gamer or enjoy immersive HDR media consumption, then the LG 32GS95UE with its superior contrast, faster refresh rate, and better gaming performance would be well-suited, provided you're willing to invest more. The LG’s OLED panel also offers deeper blacks and a potentially more vibrant picture, which is beneficial for watching videos and gaming. Keep in mind, for strictly productivity tasks, both monitors offer a large, sharp screen but the Asus might offer better text clarity due to its matte coating. Give Feedback

How the Asus PA329C (IPS) and the LG 32GS95UE (W-OLED) 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."
