If you're a professional in photography, video editing, or color-critical work and require the utmost accuracy and range in brightness and colors, the Asus PA32UCG-K with its superior brightness and color gamuts could be the right choice despite its higher cost. On the other hand, if you're looking for high performance in productivity and gaming, with very good color accuracy and still at a high resolution, but at a more accessible price point, the Innocn 27M2V offers a strong balance that won't disappoint. Both monitors have MiniLED IPS panels with similar features; the choice largely depends on whether your work demands the extra refinement, and whether the price difference aligns with your budget.

"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."

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
