Considering the Asus PA32DC (Inkjet OLED) and Asus PG34WCDM (W-OLED), if color accuracy for print photo editing or digital photo editing is crucial for you, and budget isn't a primary concern, the PA32DC stands out for these tasks due to its exceptional color reproduction. On the other hand, if you're looking for a monitor that's more oriented towards a great gaming experience with a wide refresh rate range and less ghosting, consider the PG34WCDM. However, the PA32DC offers superior image clarity suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption, despite its higher price. The PG34WCDM, while less pricey, doesn't match the PA32DC's performance in productivity-related tasks. Choose based on what activities are most important to you and how much you're willing to invest.
