If you prioritize a larger screen and higher resolution for detailed work in photo editing or require more screen real estate for productivity, the Asus PA329CV with its conventional widescreen format would be better. However, if you're looking for a unique vertical setup that can enhance multitasking with its square-like aspect ratio, the LG DualUp could be more suitable, although it might be more expensive. Neither are ideal for HDR gaming due to their lower brightness and contrast levels. For casual gaming and media consumption, both will perform reasonably, but if competitive gaming is your main focus, you might want to consider other options with higher refresh rates and better response times.
