If you prioritize digital photo editing and productivity tasks, the Asus PA329CV, being less expensive, offers good color accuracy and a large screen for your work. However, the LG 32GQ950 would be a better choice for competitive gaming and media consumption due to its higher refresh rate, better peak brightness for HDR, and support for variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing. However, the LG's advances in gaming and HDR capabilities come with a higher price tag. Consider the importance of gaming performance versus the cost savings and productivity focus when making your choice. Give Feedback
