If you prioritize digital photo and print photo editing, the Asus PA329C with its larger color gamut and higher resolution might be the better fit, despite its higher price. However, if you lean towards gaming, especially if refresh rate is a concern, the LG 34GP83A offers a smoother experience with a wider variable refresh rate range. The LG's ultra-wide screen is also beneficial for an immersive gaming session and may aid productivity with its expansive horizontal space. Keep in mind, the Asus may present better image clarity due to its higher pixels per inch, beneficial for detailed work. Both options have IPS panels known for good color accuracy and viewing angles, but the Asus seems tailored more for professional creative work, and the LG for gaming and general use. 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."

"The LG 34GP83A is an excellent monitor for the price! It offers flawless performance thanks to its rapid response time, low input lag, high refresh rate, and certified G-SYNC compatibility. Moreover, its Nano IPS panel ensures vibrant colors which along with the 3440×1440 ultrawide resolution makes for a stunning and immersive viewing experience."
