If superior color accuracy is crucial for tasks like digital photo editing, print photo editing, and HDR video editing, then the Asus PA32UCG-K with its MiniLED IPS panel is a strong choice, especially with its excellent brightness and contrast that is beneficial for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, if you're more focused on immersive gaming with a wider screen and higher refresh rates, and can tolerate lower peak brightness, then the LG 45GR95QE-B with its wider aspect ratio and OLED technology might be a better fit, as it offers exceptional response times and very good gaming performance. Keep in mind that the LG's text clarity and image clarity are not as good as the Asus's, which could be important for productivity tasks. Give Feedback

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."
