If color accuracy for digital photo editing is a priority and you prefer a more traditional aspect ratio for multitasking productivity tasks, the Asus PA329CV with its larger color gamut coverage is a sensible choice. However, if you're looking for a monitor that offers a wider screen for immersion in games and media, and you can benefit from a higher refresh rate for smoother gameplay, the LG 34GP83A would serve you well, although it's typically somewhat more expensive. Neither are optimal for HDR gaming or video editing due to limited peak brightness and color volume. Give Feedback
