If price is a significant consideration and your main activities include productivity and digital photo editing, the Asus PA329CV is a solid choice due to its lower cost and good image clarity. The larger screen and higher resolution will benefit tasks like photo editing and multitasking. However, if you're more focused on HDR gaming and media consumption and prefer the best possible contrast and color depth, the LG 39GS95QE would be the better option, despite its higher price. Its OLED panel provides superior contrast and color volume, which greatly enhances the visual experience in high-dynamic-range content. This LG monitor also offers a wider color gamut, making it suitable for high-end video and print photo editing. Keep in mind, though, that for competitive gaming, the LG's higher refresh rate and very low total response time might give you an edge, although it comes at a premium price. Give Feedback
