If color accuracy and detail in digital photo editing or print photo editing are priorities, the Asus PA329C with its 32" screen would be more suitable, though it's not ideal for HDR gaming or competitive gaming due to its lower refresh rate and response time. The LG 45GR95QE, with its higher refresh rate and contrast, is excellent for both casual and competitive gaming and HDR media consumption, but its smaller 27" curved screen and lower resolution might not be the best for productivity tasks or if you prefer a flat, larger display. Choose the Asus for professional image work, or the LG for an immersive gaming experience. Give Feedback

How the Asus PA329C (IPS) and the LG 45GR95QE (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."
"The LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B is a brilliant ultrawide gaming monitor that'll dominate your desk, and its 800R curve serves to trick the senses. It's ridiculously pricey, and 4K fans may notice the difference with this 4K panel, but its OLED capabilities and arsenal of features almost justify its price tag. Just make sure you've got decent PC specs and plenty of space for this brute before parting with any cash."
