If you prioritize a larger screen for productivity, the Asus PA329CV with its 32-inch display can offer more space for multitasking, but it doesn’t shine in HDR gaming or media due to its limited brightness and contrast. On the other hand, the Innocn 27M2U, being less expensive, excels in HDR with superior brightness and contrast, making it better for HDR video editing and print photo editing, despite its slightly smaller screen. However, if competitive gaming is a concern, both monitors have limitations due to their low refresh rates. For casual gaming and media consumption, the Innocn provides a better experience at a more reasonable price. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
