If you prioritize a larger screen and higher resolution for tasks like photo editing and productivity, the Asus PA329CV with its 32-inch, 4K display will serve you well, yet it is not the best choice for HDR gaming or media. On the other hand, the LG 27GP83B offers a smaller, lower resolution screen, but with superior gaming features like a higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate (VRR) support, making it a stronger pick for both casual and competitive gaming, though it's not as suitable for professional color work or HDR video editing. Consider the LG if gaming is your focus and cost is a concern, or the Asus if your work requires more screen real estate and detail. Give Feedback
