If you need a monitor for digital photo editing with a wider color gamut, the Asus PA329C provides excellent color accuracy and is suited for tasks like print photo editing. It has a higher screen resolution beneficial for productivity tasks. On the other hand, for an immersive gaming experience with deep blacks and fast response times, the LG 45GR95QE-B excels due to its superior contrast and wider refresh rate range. However, its lower resolution and less accurate text display might not be ideal for detailed productivity work. Choose the Asus for professional image work and productivity; opt for the LG for high-end gaming and consuming HDR content. Give Feedback

How the Asus PA329C (IPS) and the LG 45GR95QE-B (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."
