If you prioritize photo editing and productivity with accurate color representation, the Asus PA329CV has a good screen size and resolution for detailed work, along with a stand to adjust to your comfort. However, for a better entertainment experience, especially in dark rooms where contrast is key, the Samsung S43CG70 offers superior contrast and screen size. The Samsung could also be preferable if you value a more immersive gaming experience, despite its lower refresh rate, due to its larger display and some gaming features. If you're looking to save money and focus on work and casual use, the Asus may suffice, but for high contrast and a large screen in gaming and media, consider investing in the Samsung. Give Feedback
