If your top priorities are productivity and high-quality digital photo editing, the Asus PA32UCG-K with its exceptional color accuracy and excellent text clarity is an outstanding choice, but it comes at a higher price. However, for an immersive gaming experience and media consumption, the LG 39GS95QE's wider aspect ratio and superior contrast from its OLED panel would be preferable. Keep in mind, though, its resolution is lower than the Asus, and it might not perform as well in tasks that require the most accurate color reproduction. If budget is a concern, the LG offers impressive features for its price, but for professional-level image work, the Asus may justify its premium cost. Give Feedback

How the Asus PA32UCG-K (IPS MiniLED) and the LG 39GS95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"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."
