If your main focus is productivity with a bit of media consumption, the Dell U2723QE with its IPS Black panel offers better contrast which can result in richer colors and deeper blacks. It also provides a higher screen resolution leading to sharper text and image clarity, beneficial for detailed work. However, if you're heavily into digital photo editing, the Asus PA329CV covers a wide color gamut, making it a better option for color accuracy which is crucial for that work. Neither monitor is ideal for gaming due to their poor refresh rates, though both can handle casual gameplay. Give Feedback
