Should I upgrade?

So I'm thinking about finally replacing my dual hp L2335 monitors. They're pretty okay for their time, but they have some issues. Such as, horrible whine especially when below 100% brightness, Their only inputs are vga, dvi, svideo, component, and composite, and their contrast and colors are not too good.

I'm thinking about upgrading to 2 of these Asus ProArt displays. Do y'all think It would be a worth while upgrade?

Well I do a lot of photography, photoshop, and digital art. Pro art just has monitors built for that type of stuff at an affordable price.

These monitors offer terrible value. They're about $300 or so from what i've seen online. And that is just absurdly expensive for a 1080p 24" 60Hz monitor. The AOC 24G2 will do everything it does and more for less money. It's not as color accurate out of the box but you can take the money you'd save when buying two of those compared to the Proart ones and buy a colorimeter to be able to calibrate your displays yourself. This will result in better color accuracity than the Proart ones.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
