The Asus PA329CV offers a larger display and higher resolution, which is better for productivity tasks and photo editing where screen real estate and image clarity are important. However, the LG 27GP850 has better gaming features, including a higher refresh rate and support for variable refresh rate technologies to reduce screen tearing, making it a superior choice for both casual and competitive gaming. The LG also performs well for general media consumption, although its smaller screen size might be a limiting factor compared to the Asus. If gaming is your main concern and you're looking to save money, the LG 27GP850 is the better choice, but for a mix of productivity tasks and photo editing with a larger budget, the Asus PA329CV would be more appropriate.

Tim Schiesser | May 2021
"In my opinion, the LG 27GP850 is the best in its class from the monitors I've tested, with the combination of great response times and a functional sRGB mode pushing it over the edge. It's generally worth the price premium and its overall balance of features with few weak areas makes it a monitor you won't be disappointed to have."
