If you prioritize high-resolution digital photo editing or tasks requiring accurate color representation, the Asus PA329C's larger screen and superior color accuracy make it an excellent option despite its higher price. However, if you're focused on competitive gaming, the ViewSonic XG2431 with its higher refresh rate and lower response time will provide a smoother gaming experience at a lower cost. The ViewSonic isn't as well-suited for tasks that demand high-resolution and color accuracy, making the Asus the better option for professional creative work. The Asus is less suited for high-performance gaming due to its lower refresh rate. Choose the Asus for professional creative needs and the ViewSonic for competitive gaming. 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."
