If you're into competitive gaming and appreciate a higher refresh rate for a smoother experience, the Asus model is tailored for you, while still delivering decent photo editing capabilities. On the other hand, if you prefer a larger screen with sharper resolution for productivity and media consumption as well as a strong performance in HDR gaming and media, the Innocn may be the better choice, especially with its better peak brightness and color volume. Consider the Innocn's advantages if you prioritize print photo editing or HDR video editing despite its higher price, whereas the Asus offers great competitive gaming performance for a slightly lower cost.

"Whlie not perfect, the Innocn 32M2V is an excellent HDR gaming monitor if you want a 32″ 4K high refresh rate display – just make sure you’re familiar with all its flaws. If you’ve been waiting for a 32″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with proper HDR support, the Innocn 32M2V is the first model available at a reasonable price."
