If you prioritize top-of-the-line productivity features, digital and print photo editing, with high brightness and contrast suitable for HDR gaming and media, the Asus PA32UCG-K could justify its higher cost. However, if you seek excellent color performance with infinite contrast ratios at a lower price and are focused on competitive gaming with very low response times, the ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED may serve you well, although it falls short in brightness and might not be the best option for productivity tasks. Remember, MiniLED technology in the Asus offers superb brightness, while the OLED of the ViewSonic excels in contrast and viewing angles. Give Feedback

How the Asus PA32UCG-K (IPS MiniLED) and the ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED (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."
