If you're focused on productivity and digital photo editing, the Asus PA329CV offers a large, high-resolution screen with good color accuracy, which is great for these tasks, and it comes at a lower price. On the other hand, for a premium experience in casual and competitive gaming, the LG 45GS95QE's OLED panel offers superior contrast and very low response times, enhancing visual immersion and reducing ghosting; however, this comes at a higher cost. Just note that while the LG excels in color depth and contrast, its lower screen resolution might not be optimal for productivity compared to the Asus. Give Feedback
