If you prioritize top-notch productivity and digital photo editing, the Asus PA32UCG-K with its excellent brightness and color accuracy might serve you better, despite the higher cost. However, for a balance between price and performance, with an emphasis on media consumption and print photo editing, the Innocn 32Q1U could be a more cost-effective choice, offering the infinite contrast of OLED. Keep in mind, though, the Asus is more suitable for HDR gaming due to its higher peak brightness, whereas the Innocn may not be the best for competitive gaming because of its slower response time.

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."
