If you prioritize accurate colors and high brightness for tasks such as photo editing or watching high dynamic range (HDR) content, the Asus PA32UCG-K with its excellent color accuracy and brightness might suit you, though it comes at a higher price. For competitive gamers who value high refresh rates and minimal motion blur, the Corsair 45WQHD240 with its superior refresh rate would be more appropriate, plus it's less expensive. The Asus offers better productivity features with its higher resolution and larger screen size, but the Corsair’s ultra-wide aspect ratio could also be immersive for media consumption and gaming despite its lower resolution and screen clarity.

Mark Pickavance | May 2021
"Combining features that designers and content makers need, the Asus ProArt PA32UCG-K Display represents the true cost of accurate colour. It’s expensive, heavy and has weird OSD controls, but the screen is glorious when working with HDR video or game graphics."
