If budget is a concern and your primary activities involve digital photo editing or productivity tasks, the Asus PA329CV with its high resolution and good text quality would be a solid investment, offering you a large screen and useful features at an upper midrange price. However, if you're willing to invest more for an immersive experience in gaming and media consumption, the LG 38WN95C boasts a larger, ultra-wide display, better brightness, and wider color gamut support, making it more suitable for those purposes, although it comes at a premium price. Note that the LG also includes features like a higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate support, enhancing gaming performance. Keep in mind that the broader aspect ratio and curve of the LG model also create a more immersive environment, which can be a boon for both gaming and multitasking. Give Feedback
