If you prioritize digital photo editing and require accurate colors for tasks like print photo editing, the Asus PA329C could serve you well due to its impressive color accuracy and wide color gamut. However, if you are focused on an immersive gaming experience and don't mind spending more, the Samsung S49AG95 Odyssey Neo G9's larger screen size and higher refresh rate make it ideal for competitive gaming, despite its lower suitability for tasks that demand color precision. Neither monitor is optimal for HDR gaming or video editing, so if that's a critical feature, you might want to consider other options. 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."
