Yeah, this is a fantastic review of a product. I'm a multimedia producer so I end up watching a lot of reviews on different video/audio/computer gear. The format is great and the thought you put into this is awesome. Thank you.
This review is actually really good, im on the fence in buying one and it helped me a lot, now i might still buy this but atleast now i know what im getting into and my expectations with this monitor will align with the actual experience if i decide to get this so thank you
I just bought one, it's not as good as an EIZO but it's 1/4 the price. It's 50% as good as an Oled TV like the LG 42 C2. Very cheap very good. I love it. It's so so good for the price.
Teoh , I've spend the last week, trying to find a decent (budged) monitor for graphic design. After watching your video, I've got every question answered! Especially the color gamuts and the 8 bit + FRC part! Thank you very much, for making this review!
Thank you for the excellent insight and thorough review. One thing I noticed looking at your screen is that the icons and text are extremely tiny. My understanding is that the higher the resolution, the smaller everything looks on screen when comparing the same screen size to lower resolutions. So everything on a 27" 1440p screen is going to look larger than on a 27" 4k screen. Something to keep in mind. From what I read, the general recommendation is 1080p up to 24", 1440p for 24" to 32", and 4k for 32" +. There are higher resolutions, but it gets very expensive currently. I've been doing graphic design and photography on a 24" 1080p screen for the last 14yrs. I find it perfectly adequate and plenty of screen real estate. I think what's more important for anyone working with graphic design and photography is color accuracy. The Asus ProArt monitor series seems an excellent value for money.
I find the UI size for 1440P and 27-inch to be alright. It is possible to scale UI elements larger with Windows. It's possible with MacOS too but UI elements will be more fuzzy as 1440P + 27-inch is not a good combo for MacOS. Price for 1440P monitors is very good right now. And is definitely worth the upgrade as you get more pixels to show more content, hence improves productivity instantly.
@@teohontech7141 thanks for replying. I didn't realize I can scale the Windows 11 UI. Very helpful. I will reconsider 1440. I'd love the Asus ProArt 27" 4k monitor, but it's hard for me to justify twice the price, plus having to spend more on upgraded computer hardware to handle 4k. 1440 may be the sweet spot for me at this point in time.
@@teohontech7141 Thanks for excellent review. I reconsider to buy this monitor for Mac mini M2 pro, mainly for photography editing (Lightroom, Photoshop). Could you please explain your comment "1440P + 27-inch is not a good combo for MacOS"?
@@palebeachbum There will be noticeable pixelation with 27-inch 1440P resolution. I actually prefer this simply because these 27-inch 1440P displays are just more affordable. If you need the visuals to be sharper, you can go with 27-inch 4K resolution, but you will also need this app called BetterDisplay to handle scaling on MacOS so that visual can appear sharp after UI scaling. MacOS settings only offer limited UI scaling options so certain size and resolution combo will not work well. If you have a computer from 2018, running 4K isn't actually that demanding on the system.
All modern monitors need to be reviewed for color temperature uniformity. I would love to see a demonstration in the dark with white color. The video will not convey everything, but at least something. All Asus Proart I have had a warm left edge and a cold right edge. It's impossible to work. And so for everyone, acer, benq that I tried.
I have it. Oled is still king (not available in display forms yet), but I think this is pretty much the best LCD 8-Bit can offer. Being very satisfied with the ProArt brand I'm saving for the very expensive new 32" 10 bit mini-led model.
It's not as good as an LG Oled but is super great for the price, the color on mine is very vivid and very accurate for a 32" monitor. It's inbetween an EIZO and a high end IPS monitor. It's a new halfway cheap place, kind of like a dreamcolor monitor from HP.
Hi Teoh! Bought this monitor for all the great reasons you listed there. Can assure all you said in the review is 100% accurate. I'm really happy with this screen, but have one question... Right out of the box the whites and neutral tones seemed way too warm, (this is my first calibrated monitor, I'm not used to that), ended up setting the screen to the slightly cooler factory preset, but is it still good if we choose that setting? Should we trust the standard calibration? Thank you!
The display is calibrated at the factory so you should probably use that. The thing is unless you have another reference to compare with, you won’t know whether the warm or cool look is the accurate look. Ideally it’s best to get a colour calibrator to do your own calibration.
Great review! You don't recommend the upgrade from 1440p to 4k ... but is 1440p on a 27 inch monitor good enough to not see the pixels from an arm-length away from your experience? I now have a 24 inch FHD which it is a bit too small for me (Lightroom, Capture One, web design, office), but I also hate it that I can see all the pixels from that distance (around 60cm away).
Pixelation can be seen with 27-inch 1440P display from one arm's length away. An upgrade from your FHD to 1440P resolution is a bigger upgrade than 1440P to 4K in my opinion. And considering 1440P monitors have been out for so long, they provide more value for money simply because their prices are lower. If you can find a good price for 27-inch 4K, it's still worth getting.
Hi Teoh, thank you so much for the review - it truly makes me want to buy this monitor. However, im still thinking whether this pro art is better or the dell ultrasharp 2720q would be the one I go with. I especially like the ruler on this one but many people said that dell is always better and more durable. What do you think? (Im a graphic, uiux, and presentation slide designer)
Great video, thanks! Can you please briefly tell me the difference between Asus PA279CV and PA279CRV models? Both seem to be exactly the same, but 1 has "R" in the model name!!
Great review! Thanks. Question please…. I am a graphic designer. Consider this monitor to match 2nd monitor for iMac desktop. The new iMac is smaller than previous version. What do you say?
27-inch and 4K is not a good combo for MacOS. Either find 27-inch 5K, 27-inch 1440P, or 15 to 24-inch 4K. UI scaling with 27-inch 4K will result in slight fuzziness. It's not a big deal but it's there.

Hi Teoh, thank you for your video. This screen seems good but I need a very good colour accuracy as I make textile print designs. As I understood this screen is not totally accurate. What screen would you suggest for my purpose in a similar price range? Thank you!
I don't keep track of monitor releases. But if you need the art on the display to match what's to be printed out with the file, go with AdobeRGB displays. But even with so called colour accurate displays, you will still need to colour calibrate them, and hence you may also need to spend on a colour calibrator.
@@teohontech7141 Hi Theo, thank you for your answer. I ordered a colour accurate monitor in the end as this will be better for my work. I had to pre order as it's a totally new screen, it's only coming out in two weeks time. It's Asus proart pa279 CRV. Seems like a great screen and reasonable priced too!
Hello Sir, Epic video 👌 Epic channel 😃 Congratulations. I really need your opinion: I'm undecided between the Asus Proart 279cv and the BenQ PD2705U. Based on your experience and knowledge, which one do you think is the better buy? I'm going to use this monitor for web design, programming and also for watching movies and series. My office has a window that is open most of the time. The window is 4 meters away from the monitor. What do you think? Thanks in advance
Hi, excellent review on this thank you. Would you have a preference to this monitor or the lg 27UN83A? The lg is slightly cheaper so leaning towards that
Great review!! Which one you will choose between dell u2722d (no network port and 15w usb-c) and asus pa279cv?? I am in doubt. The thing is that Dell usbc powered port is only 15 while asus is 65w powered and 60hz refresh against 75h. It is not intended for gamming. Thank you!!!
Dell has slightly better colours. Although it's probably not noticeable unless you have two displays side by side to compare. 15W is good for charging tablets, phones. 65W is for laptops. If you use laptops, then 65W is good. If not, either. Dell has 1440P resolution. 4K will be slightly sharper. There's not much visible difference between 60 for 75Hz. These two are very similar so personally for me I would just choose depending on price and/or warranty. Their designs also look very similar.
@@teohontech7141 thank you for your opinion. Both ASUS and Dell provides 3 years of warranty in my country ( Portugal). Unfortunatelly in europe so far only ASUS pa728cv it is available for shopping from Portugal which comparing with Dell 2722d got less functions and asus pa278cv it is a 8bit monitor with 16million of collors This ASUS model it is sheaper in about 50euros.maybe the Dell it is a better option.
Thank you so much for this review! It's really informative! I'm currently using a Dell U2515H Monitor, and have recently bought a Mac Studio. I'm a professional wedding photographer, and I'm wondering if I should make the jump to the Asus PA279CV monitor or stick to the Dell U2515H. What would you advise? Thank you in advance!
Hey, wonderful video again. I am following you fro quite a longtime and based on your reviews I bought my first DELL UP2716D. It has a 100% Adobe RGB and it is quite good 1440p display. But I am thinking to replace it with 4K monitor. I am not sure what brand really. This ASUS looks good but not 100% Adobe - Do you think it is worthed to replace it? Also scalling issue may arrise with WIN11. The other one I am looking at is ViewSonic VP2785-4K 27-inch - it looks really good, but again I couldn't find much detailed youtube review for it. I do lots of web design also I do lot of artworks that I am intending to print in house. I would love to hear your opinion here. Thanks.
If you're into creating visual content I recommend getting AdobeRGB. There should be no scaling issues with 27-inch 4K on Windows 11. Specifications for the Viewsonic display looks alright on paper. Price is very reasonable too for an AdobeRGB display.
The room has sunlight streaming through. Monitor has measured 326 nits brightness and that's bright enough for such lighting condition. Usually I will use curtains to make the room darker (and less hot), and use the monitor at 150 nits.
@@teohontech7141 thanks! One more question - which one do you like more in terms of image quality/ brightness - ProArt or Dell U2722DE (besides resolution). To me, Dell looks much better compared with Asus. But the main thing is the screen of course, not aesthetic design properties. Would be great to know your opinion as the artist
@@Nakopal_Nasobiral Maybe the Dell. But if you ask me some other day, I may say ASUS. Anyway, I only go with 100% AdobeRGB monitors with shading hoods.
I have questioned ChatGPT aobut the 10 bit issue, if a monitor 100% srgb, but not 100% rgb, could deliver 10bit, here is the answer: Yes, a monitor can deliver a 10-bit color depth even if it covers 100% sRGB but not 100% Adobe RGB or other wider gamuts. Here's why: Key Points: Color Depth (10-bit) vs. Color Gamut: 10-bit Color Depth: Refers to how many shades of color a display can render. A 10-bit monitor can theoretically display 2^10=1024 shades per channel (red, green, blue), which results in over a billion possible colors (1024³). Color Gamut: Refers to the range of colors a monitor can display, defined by standards like sRGB, Adobe RGB, or DCI-P3. A monitor might display 100% of sRGB but not cover wider gamuts like Adobe RGB. 100% sRGB Coverage: If a monitor covers 100% sRGB, it can accurately reproduce all the colors within the sRGB gamut. However, if it doesn’t cover wider gamuts like Adobe RGB, it might not be ideal for tasks requiring such broader color ranges. This limitation in gamut doesn’t affect its ability to deliver 10-bit color depth within the sRGB range. 10-bit and Gamut Independence: A monitor's bit depth and its gamut coverage are independent specifications. A monitor can have high bit depth (10-bit) but a limited gamut (e.g., only sRGB). Conversely, a wide-gamut monitor could theoretically have a lower bit depth (8-bit). Practical Considerations: If you are working within the sRGB color space (e.g., for web or standard video content), 100% sRGB with 10-bit color depth is sufficient. For professionals requiring wider color spaces (e.g., photographers, filmmakers), limited gamut coverage could be a bottleneck despite the 10-bit capability. Verification: Check if the monitor's panel truly supports 10-bit natively or if it uses 8-bit + FRC (Frame Rate Control) to simulate 10-bit. Many monitors advertise "10-bit" but achieve it through FRC. In conclusion, a monitor can indeed deliver true 10-bit color depth while covering only 100% sRGB. However, its suitability depends on the intended use and whether a wider gamut is necessary for your work.
I'm really bummed out about the 10bit thing. I want to color grade Raw video footage. Would you have any other recommendations for this $500 price range that you think might be a better monitor? Also is true 10 bit always going to have 100% Adobe RGB coverage? Thank you!
AdobeRGB is mostly for people who work with print. For video editing you can look for displays with sRGB or P3 coverage. ASUS, BenQ, Dell are the ones that are worth the money, at least for me.
This review is amazing, thank you. Wondering if the 2021 MacBook Pros still scale the 4k image down to 2k on this 27-inch monitor. Apologies if this question is a little basic!
Scaling is not a problem usually. The only problem with 4K 27-inch is if you don't use native 4K (no scale) or 1080P, your 100% zoomed file in Photoshop will not be true 100%. E.g. If you use 1440P scaling with a 27-inch 4K display, and zoom a 4K resolution Photoshop file at 100%, that 4K file will not fill the 4K display pixel for pixel. If that's not an issue for you, then no problem. All the scaling options will have sharp visuals anyway.
@@teohontech7141 Thank you! I think I'm going to buy a secondhand 32" BenQ IPS PD3220U. Your review for that monitor was also really straightforward and helpful, great work.
@@brunoyoutube6246 I think the PA329CV is better, but I've never used one. Seems like it has more customisation and is just a better screen for creative use.
@@Thoumike thank you for your feedback. I really want to buy the asus 32” but I’m afraid it is too big and I didn’t get use to it.. maybe I should go with 27”
Hi there! I've just found your video as I'm a graphic artist looking for a new monitor- however, I'm coming from a history of apple monitors. As far as I can tell, apple has the BEST colour accuracy, how would you say this or the PA278QV compare to apple screens?
I've not used Apple displays. Not sure about the best colour accuracy part because there are many displays that can match the colour accuracy of Apple displays. Current Apple displays so have phenomenal brightness though which is good for HDR but otherwise people generally don't use their displays that bright or risk burning out their eyes. This ASUS display is just a 100% sRGB display. If you want better colours, look for 100% AdobeRGB displays, but those are more expensive. Look at Dell, Benq, Asus and the Huawei Mateview 28.
It’s not worth, the Samsung 1440P Space monitor meets and exceeds in many areas. My last eat calibration report was 100% sRGB, 77.4% Adobe RGB, 85.4% DCI P3 Gamut Coverage. At literally half the cost, better contrast, all while at 120Hz / 10bit (8bit + FRC) “Display Cal” 80cdm2 at sRGB white point coordinates
Hello Teoh,. Please can you recommend. I need 4 monitors, 2 down and 2 up (square configuration). Would you recommend 27 qhd or 25 qhd? Do 25qhd will need scaling? I will use them to look charts. Thanks
Good Day, Very interesting about PA279CV n PA329CV. What about Asus sales after service(warranty) at Malaysia...?...Easy to claim..? I don't have any experience make claim with ASUS products.
If I read correctly, that Dell does not have USBC video support. That would be the main difference other than the 120 Hz refresh rate, and pricing. I would go with one with USBC video support
@@teohontech7141 because i am thinking of buying one of the two as we speak and I can't make a decision, the lg is somehow cheaper than the Asus, should I go for the lg?
@@cyrilmiheso4517 Go for the LG if it has the same specifications. Display technology has matured many years ago so if the specifications are the same, the performance should be similar unless there's quality control problem.
Dell U series have good colours, and Dell UP series have best colours. For graphic design work, go with 100% sRGB monitors. If you need extreme colour accuracy, go with 100% AdobeRGB monitors.
Hi, could you please tell me if you put an white image full screen you see some difference in brightness and colors around the edges? I have seen this issue on three different Benq monitors so I would like to know if it is common on this monitors. Thanks
@Teoh on Tech : great content as usual, There's some shortage for dell/benq monitors you mention in the comments section in my country, for the context I'm an illustrator with a m1 Mac mini & Cintiq 16( making photo/video occasionally/ make print occasionally) and it seems that the Dell U2722DE that you tested fulfill my needs ( versatile screen) like it has a decent coverage of the adobe rgb at a reasonnable price but it is in out of stock too. Would you advice to wait or do you ( anybody) have in mind a monitor in the same spec? Thanks
@@teohontech7141 but like you said on your video, the fact that the Asus isn't a real 10 bits doesn't display decent gradient, does the Dell U2722DE does better from your experience? It seems that the Huawei Mateview have some nice spec too, thanks.
@@teohontech7141 I’m finding it hard to choose between this monitor and Dell S2722QC to use with my m1 MacBook Pro 14. Any suggestions please. I’m mainly using for coding and school purposes. I’ve seen people experience screen flicker with the dell monitor that I’ve mentioned.
Hello, could you please confirm if this monitor also supports the resolution of 2560x1440? because the manual is not clear for me, 2560x1440 appears in "PC Timings List of HDMI / DP input" but not in "Video timings", and I really ignore those terms.

Based on your experience and knowledge, which one do you think is the better buy? I'm going to use this monitor for web design, programming and also for watching movies and series. My office has a window that is open most of the time. The window is 4 meters away from the monitor. What do you think? Thanks in advance
Comes down to the ports you need and pricing. Quality wise they are kinda on par.
Hi, excellent review on this thank you. Would you have a preference to this monitor or the lg 27UN83A? The lg is slightly cheaper so leaning towards that
If they have similar specs, they should have similar visual quality. I recommend looking at the ports you need.
Hello Teoh, Does this display (and other Asus ProArt) have this "Color Augmentation Mode"?
Thanks for this great review… I have a concern with eyes protection problem..? How to deal with that ? Thanks once again
Don't have the brightness too high? Most monitors have blue-light filter for eye protection.
Funny they put a ruler on it for print, but no RBG which is needed for print. Is the BenQ SE270c 10 bit? Can’t find info on that.
Great review!! Which one you will choose between dell u2722d (no network port and 15w usb-c) and asus pa279cv?? I am in doubt. The thing is that Dell usbc powered port is only 15 while asus is 65w powered and 60hz refresh against 75h. It is not intended for gamming. Thank you!!!
Dell has slightly better colours. Although it's probably not noticeable unless you have two displays side by side to compare.
15W is good for charging tablets, phones. 65W is for laptops. If you use laptops, then 65W is good. If not, either.
Dell has 1440P resolution. 4K will be slightly sharper.
There's not much visible difference between 60 for 75Hz.
These two are very similar so personally for me I would just choose depending on price and/or warranty. Their designs also look very similar.
@@teohontech7141 thank you for your opinion. Both ASUS and Dell provides 3 years of warranty in my country ( Portugal). Unfortunatelly in europe so far only ASUS pa728cv it is available for shopping from Portugal which comparing with Dell 2722d got less functions and asus pa278cv it is a 8bit monitor with 16million of collors This ASUS model it is sheaper in about 50euros.maybe the Dell it is a better option.
Got mine and tbh it's not that accurate. It had a green tint that I had to get a calibrator just to fix it.
Hi!
Are the HDMI ports are 2.0 or 1.4 ? On online shops i find 1.4 but on ASUS website it's 2.0...
if you have an nvidia gpu, that can affect color banding
This is good for video editing ??
Yes
hi, is 60hz right or can this screen run on 75hz too?
60
@@teohontech7141 Thank you! ;)
Would you recommend as a external monitor for macbook air m1 16gb ram ?
Thank you so much for this review! It's really informative!
I'm currently using a Dell U2515H Monitor, and have recently bought a Mac Studio. I'm a professional wedding photographer, and I'm wondering if I should make the jump to the Asus PA279CV monitor or stick to the Dell U2515H. What would you advise?
Thank you in advance!
The main difference is just size. So if your current monitor is still working fine, there's no compelling reason to upgrade.
what is the best 27inci truely
10 bit monitor u can suggest ya?
Hello Teoh on Tech, may ask between these 2 models PA279CV or VG289Q both 4K IPS for art and gaming which one?. Regards.
Hey, wonderful video again. I am following you fro quite a longtime and based on your reviews I bought my first DELL UP2716D. It has a 100% Adobe RGB and it is quite good 1440p display. But I am thinking to replace it with 4K monitor. I am not sure what brand really. This ASUS looks good but not 100% Adobe - Do you think it is worthed to replace it? Also scalling issue may arrise with WIN11.
The other one I am looking at is ViewSonic VP2785-4K 27-inch - it looks really good, but again I couldn't find much detailed youtube review for it.
I do lots of web design also I do lot of artworks that I am intending to print in house.
I would love to hear your opinion here. Thanks.
If you're into creating visual content I recommend getting AdobeRGB.
There should be no scaling issues with 27-inch 4K on Windows 11.
Specifications for the Viewsonic display looks alright on paper. Price is very reasonable too for an AdobeRGB display.
@Teoh on Tech the room seems to be full of light, but the screen looks very bright. Is it just mine impression or not?
The room has sunlight streaming through. Monitor has measured 326 nits brightness and that's bright enough for such lighting condition. Usually I will use curtains to make the room darker (and less hot), and use the monitor at 150 nits.
@@teohontech7141 thanks! One more question - which one do you like more in terms of image quality/ brightness - ProArt or Dell U2722DE (besides resolution). To me, Dell looks much better compared with Asus. But the main thing is the screen of course, not aesthetic design properties. Would be great to know your opinion as the artist
@@Nakopal_Nasobiral Maybe the Dell. But if you ask me some other day, I may say ASUS. Anyway, I only go with 100% AdobeRGB monitors with shading hoods.
Is it just 2.0 or is it 2.1 hdmi ? I'm trying ti get a 2.1 hdmi monitor for my ps5
I have questioned ChatGPT aobut the 10 bit issue, if a monitor 100% srgb, but not 100% rgb, could deliver 10bit, here is the answer:
Yes, a monitor can deliver a 10-bit color depth even if it covers 100% sRGB but not 100% Adobe RGB or other wider gamuts. Here's why:
Key Points:
Color Depth (10-bit) vs. Color Gamut:
10-bit Color Depth: Refers to how many shades of color a display can render. A 10-bit monitor can theoretically display
2^10=1024 shades per channel (red, green, blue), which results in over a billion possible colors (1024³).
Color Gamut: Refers to the range of colors a monitor can display, defined by standards like sRGB, Adobe RGB, or DCI-P3. A monitor might display 100% of sRGB but not cover wider gamuts like Adobe RGB.
100% sRGB Coverage:
If a monitor covers 100% sRGB, it can accurately reproduce all the colors within the sRGB gamut. However, if it doesn’t cover wider gamuts like Adobe RGB, it might not be ideal for tasks requiring such broader color ranges.
This limitation in gamut doesn’t affect its ability to deliver 10-bit color depth within the sRGB range.
10-bit and Gamut Independence:
A monitor's bit depth and its gamut coverage are independent specifications. A monitor can have high bit depth (10-bit) but a limited gamut (e.g., only sRGB). Conversely, a wide-gamut monitor could theoretically have a lower bit depth (8-bit).
Practical Considerations:
If you are working within the sRGB color space (e.g., for web or standard video content), 100% sRGB with 10-bit color depth is sufficient.
For professionals requiring wider color spaces (e.g., photographers, filmmakers), limited gamut coverage could be a bottleneck despite the 10-bit capability.
Verification:
Check if the monitor's panel truly supports 10-bit natively or if it uses 8-bit + FRC (Frame Rate Control) to simulate 10-bit. Many monitors advertise "10-bit" but achieve it through FRC.
In conclusion, a monitor can indeed deliver true 10-bit color depth while covering only 100% sRGB. However, its suitability depends on the intended use and whether a wider gamut is necessary for your work.
informative!
I'm really bummed out about the 10bit thing. I want to color grade Raw video footage. Would you have any other recommendations for this $500 price range that you think might be a better monitor? Also is true 10 bit always going to have 100% Adobe RGB coverage? Thank you!
AdobeRGB is mostly for people who work with print. For video editing you can look for displays with sRGB or P3 coverage. ASUS, BenQ, Dell are the ones that are worth the money, at least for me.
@@teohontech7141 do you know of any monitors under 1K that cover 95% of the P3 color space?
@@JAK_EDITS. Ik this is an old reply, but if you use Mac the LG Ultrafine 4K (24-inch) covers 95%+ P3.
Is this better than PA278QV?
Thanks for answering my question last night. Do you know if this works well with the M1 IPad Pro 12”?
iPad Pro external monitor support is only limited to selected apps. The monitor doesn't matter.
Great review, was planning to buy this monitor. But 8 bit is a dealbreaker, the monitor is overpriced because of this.
if compare with Apple Studio Display. Color accurate?
This review is amazing, thank you. Wondering if the 2021 MacBook Pros still scale the 4k image down to 2k on this 27-inch monitor. Apologies if this question is a little basic!
Scaling is not a problem usually.
The only problem with 4K 27-inch is if you don't use native 4K (no scale) or 1080P, your 100% zoomed file in Photoshop will not be true 100%.
E.g. If you use 1440P scaling with a 27-inch 4K display, and zoom a 4K resolution Photoshop file at 100%, that 4K file will not fill the 4K display pixel for pixel.
If that's not an issue for you, then no problem.
All the scaling options will have sharp visuals anyway.
@@teohontech7141 Thank you! I think I'm going to buy a secondhand 32" BenQ IPS PD3220U. Your review for that monitor was also really straightforward and helpful, great work.
@@Thoumike do you think PD3220U is better than PA329CV ? I am in doubt between them
@@brunoyoutube6246 I think the PA329CV is better, but I've never used one. Seems like it has more customisation and is just a better screen for creative use.
@@Thoumike thank you for your feedback. I really want to buy the asus 32” but I’m afraid it is too big and I didn’t get use to it.. maybe I should go with 27”
Hi there! I've just found your video as I'm a graphic artist looking for a new monitor- however, I'm coming from a history of apple monitors. As far as I can tell, apple has the BEST colour accuracy, how would you say this or the PA278QV compare to apple screens?
I've not used Apple displays. Not sure about the best colour accuracy part because there are many displays that can match the colour accuracy of Apple displays. Current Apple displays so have phenomenal brightness though which is good for HDR but otherwise people generally don't use their displays that bright or risk burning out their eyes.
This ASUS display is just a 100% sRGB display. If you want better colours, look for 100% AdobeRGB displays, but those are more expensive. Look at Dell, Benq, Asus and the Huawei Mateview 28.
It’s not worth, the Samsung 1440P Space monitor meets and exceeds in many areas. My last eat calibration report was 100% sRGB, 77.4% Adobe RGB, 85.4% DCI P3 Gamut Coverage. At literally half the cost, better contrast, all while at 120Hz / 10bit (8bit + FRC) “Display Cal” 80cdm2 at sRGB white point coordinates
@ 0:53 after he mentions that this is not a real 10-bit display, i stopped watching.
Ok so it's been 3 years.. I'm debating on this one or another.. What's your recommendation
It's a review unit so I no longer have this. Anyway, the specs pretty much tells the story. It's still a good display even by today's standards.
how are you able to run it on mac with 4k? what connection type are u using or is there any special configuration needed for macos?
It will detect 4K automatically
I am fine with 8bit color accuracy, I cannot afford more expensive monitors. Should I buy it for my M2 Mac mini pro?
This works fine with M2 Mac
Hello Teoh,. Please can you recommend. I need 4 monitors, 2 down and 2 up (square configuration). Would you recommend 27 qhd or 25 qhd? Do 25qhd will need scaling? I will use them to look charts. Thanks
25-inch 1440P UI should be big enough without scaling.
@@teohontech7141 thanks
If laptop have hdmi 2.0, then 10 bit not be supported?
Well i have Acer 27 with HDR support from around 4 years old .In what this Asus is better ?
Question, what’s your opinion on this ASUS monitor vs the Dell u2722de ? I’m looking at both and trying to decide
Thanks
Main differences would be the colour support (Dell is higher) and Ethernet. If you don't need those two, you can choose base on price
@@teohontech7141 awesome thank you sir. I’m leaning towards the Dell u2722d
what's the difference between this one and PA278QV? thank you!
when i select dci-p3 mode i get some weird pixelation in some of the areas in image (few scenarios)? is this normal?
Good Day,
Very interesting about PA279CV n PA329CV.
What about Asus sales after service(warranty) at Malaysia...?...Easy to claim..?
I don't have any experience make claim with ASUS products.
Hello! Between Dell 2k model U2724 and Asus 4k PA279CV, what do you advise me? Thank you!
If I read correctly, that Dell does not have USBC video support. That would be the main difference other than the 120 Hz refresh rate, and pricing. I would go with one with USBC video support
Is this monitor compatible with Dell's MSA20 arm?
What is your opinion btwn this monitor and the lg 27un850
That LG should have the same performance as the Asus. So I would choose based on price and warranty period.
@@teohontech7141 because i am thinking of buying one of the two as we speak and I can't make a decision, the lg is somehow cheaper than the Asus, should I go for the lg?
@@cyrilmiheso4517 Go for the LG if it has the same specifications. Display technology has matured many years ago so if the specifications are the same, the performance should be similar unless there's quality control problem.
@@teohyc just placed an order for the LG monitor. Thanks
plan to buy pa32cv can compatible with MacBook Pro right?? and r u sure not a 10bit??
Compatible. It's not 10-bit.
thanks
I'm really stuck between this and Dell U2720Q and Dell S2722QC, which one do you think have better colour or in overall better monitor?
Dell U series have good colours, and Dell UP series have best colours. For graphic design work, go with 100% sRGB monitors. If you need extreme colour accuracy, go with 100% AdobeRGB monitors.
@@teohontech7141 What ProArt series monitor would you recommend that has 100% Adobe RGB? Thanks.
Help! I’m trying to decide between this PA279CV and Dell 2723qe.
Hi, could you please tell me if you put an white image full screen you see some difference in brightness and colors around the edges? I have seen this issue on three different Benq monitors so I would like to know if it is common on this monitors. Thanks
Not with this. But yes some monitors will have that problem
@@teohontech7141 Thanks. I have changed 3 benq monitors and they all have this problem!
@Teoh on Tech : great content as usual,
There's some shortage for dell/benq monitors you mention in the comments section in my country,
for the context I'm an illustrator with a m1 Mac mini & Cintiq 16( making photo/video occasionally/ make print occasionally) and it seems that the Dell U2722DE that you tested fulfill my needs ( versatile screen) like it has a decent coverage of the adobe rgb at a reasonnable price but it is in out of stock too. Would you advice to wait or do you ( anybody) have in mind a monitor in the same spec? Thanks
Well, there are the ASUS ProArt displays, or check out the Huawei MateView.
@@teohontech7141 but like you said on your video, the fact that the Asus isn't a real 10 bits doesn't display decent gradient, does the Dell U2722DE does better from your experience? It seems that the Huawei Mateview have some nice spec too, thanks.
thanks!
Is it good for macbook ? i mean colors and brightness
It's good. But you may need another app called "BetterDisplay" to handle the UI scaling

@@teohontech7141 What is better monitor screen for macbook (colors, brightness, refresh rate, .. )? budget 500$
@@jamalabdotube Samsung M5 only has 1080P resolution. There won't be any scaling, hence no scaling issues.

I only use monitors with shading hoods though. At this price point, ASUS and Dell are good.
is this monitor suitable to use with m1 macbook pro 14? is there any issues so far?
Works fine except you will need another app called BetterDisplay to handle UI scaling.
