If your main concerns are high-resolution digital photo editing and productivity tasks, the Asus PA329CV with its larger screen and high resolution will serve you well. However, if you're focused on competitive gaming and want the best visual experience with deeper blacks and higher contrast, the LG 27GS95QE with its superior OLED panel offers an edge, especially with its higher refresh rate and better response to fast-moving images. The LG is also suitable for high dynamic range (HDR) gaming and media consumption, which means more vibrant and lifelike colors and brightness. The trade-off comes in the form of a higher price and a smaller, though still substantial, screen. Give Feedback
