If you prioritize digital photo editing and a good price-to-performance ratio, the Asus PA329CV, with its excellent sRGB coverage and matte finish that reduces glare, might be the right fit for you, and it's more affordable. However, if high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption are more important to you, and you're willing to invest more, the ViewSonic XG321UG has better contrast, higher HDR peak brightness, and is suitable for HDR video editing, allowing for a richer visual experience. Keep in mind, though, it's not as well suited for competitive gaming due to its moderately higher total response time. Give Feedback
