It's a 14 nits SDR Brightness difference going by HBU. You would need a tool to see this difference. Your same RTINGS: However, there are firmware issues with HDR and other problems that users are experiencing, so until ASUS (PG42UQ) fixes that, it's best to stay away from this monitor. P.S. I don't need very bright. I get eye strain at 100%. I have it at 95%. Matching every monitor in nits I have ever used in settings.

Hardware Unboxed: "We can't recommend the PG42UQ over the LG C2 42". Same panel. Monitor label means next to nothing anymore for 42" and below. If I needed display port it would matter, but I don't. Get fucking stomped. By a very minor amount, 14 nits going by HBU. This isn't going to be a real visible difference. Oh and RTINGS: "However, there are firmware issues with HDR and other problems that users are experiencing, so until ASUS fixes that, it's best to stay away from this monitor."

The HUB (Hardware Unboxed) review of the PG42UQ vs LG C2 states a primary difference of +15nits and 18 hz in most content, and a 10% window difference in HDR. They share the same panel, it's near impossible to distinguish the difference. This becomes zero once you turn off ASBL on the C2. He says it's a toss up for PC use. HUB straight up say they can't justify the PG42UQ over the C2. You're grasping at straws.
