If precise color work is essential, such as digital photo editing or tasks requiring accurate AdobeRGB coverage, the Asus PA329C's extensive color gamut support and larger screen size make it a better pick. On the other hand, if you're focused on gaming, particularly competitive gaming where refresh rate and response time are crucial, the ViewSonic XG272 with its higher refresh rate and superior contrast provides a more immersive experience. For media consumption and HDR gaming, the ViewSonic's OLED panel will offer better image quality thanks to its infinite contrast ratio, despite its smaller size. However, for those who require the extra screen real estate and color precision for productivity tasks, the Asus may be worth the higher price. 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."
