If you prioritize digital photo editing and print photo editing with accurate color representation, the Asus PA329C with its excellent color gamut coverage and high static contrast would be a solid choice. However, if you're looking for a wider screen for multitasking and a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals in gaming and media, despite a slightly lower static contrast, the larger and more costly LG 38WN95C might better suit your needs. Keep in mind that the LG's unique aspect ratio also offers a more immersive experience for media consumption, albeit with less vertical space than traditional monitors. 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."
