If you need a monitor with a larger screen size and higher resolution for productivity tasks like digital photo editing, and prioritize image clarity and adjustable stands, the Asus PA329CV could be the better choice despite its higher price. However, if your priority is gaming, particularly competitive gaming where higher refresh rates and quick response times are important, and you're looking to save money, then the Innocn 27G1S with its very good refresh rate and excellent response time for gaming would be the more cost-effective option. Keep in mind that while the Innocn is also capable of casual gaming and fair for productivity, it is not as well-suited for media consumption due to its lower brightness and color volume compared to the Asus.
