If you prioritize a high-resolution screen with superior color accuracy and a wide color gamut for professional photo and video editing, the Asus PA32UCG-K is an excellent choice despite its higher price. It also offers robust build quality and is suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption. On the other hand, if you're focused mainly on competitive gaming and are looking for a faster refresh rate at a lower cost, the ViewSonic XG2431 would be the better option. However, it has a lower resolution and isn't as suitable for color-critical tasks or HDR content. Give Feedback

"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."
