If you're prioritizing high-quality imaging for professional photo editing or enjoying HDR content, the Asus PA32DC, with its superb color accuracy and contrast, will serve you well despite the higher cost. On the other hand, if your focus is on competitive gaming at a more affordable price, the ViewSonic XG2431 offers a high refresh rate and responsive gameplay experience. The Asus is not suitable for competitive gaming due to its poor refresh rate, but is excellent for media consumption, while the ViewSonic lacks in media consumption and professional image work due to its lower resolution and color gamut.
