Should You Buy An Asus ProArt Monitor?

Today I take a look at the entire Asus ProArt range as a whole to see whether or not it is worth it to invest in ProArt monitors or ProArt Laptops.
Long story short, if you are a creator of any kind looking to take this seriously then I would suggest looking at investing into a ProArt monitor, they are built really well, the have really good color accuracy and with a bunch of different color gamuts you can easily set it to edit your content to the best it can be.

Do you own a ProArt monitor? Have you wanted to or is this something you will be investing in soon?

[@pretor706]

I'm considering to get one.

[@Jacqie]

@@pretor706 they are really amazing screens you won't be disappointed

[@piotrgraniszewski8544]

I have 3xPA278QV and 1xPA148CTV on my desk. These monitors are consumer-grade at best, but strike a good balance between panel quality and specs... If you manage to find a unit without any obvious uniformity issues. They don't require too much in terms of calibration, but it is still advisable to use a colorimeter.

[@piotrgraniszewski8544]

@Mateusz Graczyk: biel regulujesz za pomocą sliderków RGB w OSD i to nie jest problem w 95% przypadków. Problemem jest nierównomierna biel - np. zażółcony róg względem środka. Tego nie da się skorygować. Ale dobre sztuki istnieją.

[@piotrgraniszewski8544]

@Mateusz Graczyk: chyba dopiero profesjonalne monitory Eizo są w pełni skalibrowane. Ja mam na biurku aż 4 monitory i generalnie udało mi się je dopasować pod kątem bieli za pomocą ręcznej kalibracji, minus lokalne przebarwienia (które na styku monitorów są widoczne), bo ich nie da się wyeliminować. Biel musisz też dopasować do swojego otoczenia. W nocy używaj oświetlenia 6500K w pomieszczeniu. Najlepsze do tego są smart RGB, bo późną nocą możesz przełączyć się na kolor bursztynowy lub czerwony, a na komputerze włączyć tryb nocny, żeby ograniczyć do minimum wpływ niebieskiego światła na zasypianie. Jeśli ekran jest zauważalnie zielonkawy bądź niebieskawy, to nawet na oko da się to wyregulować bez żadnego kolorymetru.

[@AlexGous]

Very well put together and extremely informative, especially if you are a content creator looking for a new display.

[@Jacqie]

Thank you I appreciate it.

[@johnprosser2142]

great video thank you! I have been looking at monitors and was told that 4K, due to Mac OS scaling, is not a good resolution for them, have you had any problems?

[@Jacqie]

I had no problems especially with my M1 MacBook air. The scaling is different and I guess it could take a lot of resources to do the scaling for some MacBooks.

[@rapaent]

Thank you for all this awesome information!! I'm currently looking at the Asus ProArt PA32UCRK for FCPX video editing on my Late 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max. What's your thoughts with this combination? Thans again... Great job!! 👍😊

[@Jacqie]

I absolutely loved using it with my M1 MacBook. I used it to edit videos and pictures and the quality and ease of use is great. I loved that I could plug it in via USB c and then it charges the macbook as well so you don't need to worry about your laptops power as well.

[@rapaent]

@@Jacqie What model number did you use? Thanks again!👍

[@fran524]

Excellent video, I'm really undecided on Asus Pro Art or BenQ PD, both monitors have excellent color calibration, but I noticed that the Pro Art CGV model reaches 144Hz unlike the BenQ PD which remains fixed at 60Hz. Which one seems better to you? and if I take a 27" 2k is better or 4k is fine too Thank you!

[@Jacqie]

2k for me is fine, but some people do prefer 4k, but it isn't a must in my opinion. When it comes to refresh rate, I would always go 144Hz or higher

[@KA-zq3yp]

Bought one a year ago and i will never buy a monitor that is not pro art. Beyond love the image and the USB C port that powers and transmits data from my laptop is a game changer. Great Video, thanks for your time on this.

[@Jacqie]

I absolutely love the fact that I can connect my macbook to it via USB C and that it charges it. Makes such a big difference with a device like that, that has very limited ports

[@ArmiaKhairy]

I found a 24" one on craiglist for $39 while looking for a regular second monitor, it had a deep scratch in the monitor that made a white dot on the display, despite this, I'm very impressed with it!

[@xGARIDx]

ProArt display is amazing product, i was Acer user so long and just moved to proart for design job and its stunning love the quality and color accuracy

[@abhilashatripathi9349]

Hey loved your review. I am confused between Dell Ultrasharp U2723QE & Asus proart Pa279cv... Could you help me out with that? My requirement is for animation and graphics.

[@Jacqie]

They will both be great for that use case and they are both technically the same monitor in terms of specs and what it can do. The Pro Art does seem to come in at a better price but it will come down to what you want to spend. Pro Art: amzn.to/3pSCDec Dell: amzn.to/3Tn6atQ

[@MHHQ]

It my be POSSIBLE that I have been enjoying a similar experience with my XPS 15 for about a year now 🤣 I can never go back to an uncalibrated display, the white point alone on these displays is amazing, it makes any other screen look either yellow, green or blue when displaying white.

[@Jacqie]

That could be possible, but yeah once you have used a calibrated display it is hard to use anything else. So I am glad you are enjoying it.

[@Suprematista]

Worries me the grays/blacks, bleeding and ghosting. I'm not sure if I should by this.

[@Kingvoakahustla]

Asus ProArt monitor is built for creator! Love them

[@Jacqie]

They really are amazing

[@MatisMedia]

I’ve been wanting to buy one to go along with my Macbook M1 Pro. I can’t afford the 4K version as i’m trying to stay under 350-400. As a video editor the color accuracy is going to be key. Do you think the Full HD will be fine when pairing with a macbook ?

[@Jacqie]

I recently used a 2k ProArt monitor and it was still amazing in terms of sharpness and I really enjoyed it with my Macbook. (amzn.to/3uSUbd9) It is quite a bit cheaper than the 4k version but not a lot more expensive than the 1080p versions. This particular model is 27 inch so you still get a good size display and PPI.

@@KingGaming-co7cs If you need it for work the ProArt will be better, mainly because it is aimed at that and the Swift is aimed more towards gaming

[@nadtz]

I have a PA278QV that I have been happy with for the price (Got it on sale for $200) but it's starting to show it's age in some ways. The PA278CV or PA279CRV would not be much of an upgrade so I'm kind of torn on what to do. That said for one of the older monitors it's still quite good for my video editing needs till I decide what to do.

[@nguyenminhkhiem7141]

How long has u used that for?

[@nadtz]

@@nguyenminhkhiem7141 2 or 3 years now.

[@nguyenminhkhiem7141]

@@nadtz Can you have a slight review with it after using long time?

[@nadtz]

@@nguyenminhkhiem7141 Not much to say, I'm happy with it as a color accurate monitor but for the bit of gaming I do I have a second monitor. I wouldn't mind seeing an updated monitor with 1440p, kvm, some more modern IO and a higher refresh rate (144/160hz) but it seems most manufacturers are skipping straight to 4k so I'm currently kind of stuck for an upgrade path. I mostly use it for video editing and have a calibration puck so I can't comment on how well the calibration holds over time without one. It does have software to switch color spaces without having to dig through the menus which is nice. Not sure what else you might want to know but feel free to ask, I'll answer if I can.

[@ervinisimo]

How about if i want to edit photos in RGB colour space?

[@paulflogeras2309]

I am trying to pick a new monitor. I work in marketing. I do most typical office work but also work in Adobe doing some design. Do you think a ProArt monitor is worth it. Unfortunately I can only find a 27" QHD, in my area. Would you move to a different monitor to try and get 32" / 4K or stick with the PA278QV ProArt. Thanks

[@Jacqie]

There are a lot of great monitors these days that are color accurate that are cheaper. I would suggest maybe looking around unless you plan to do design work more often in the future. The 27 QHD is really good. No real need to do 32 or 4k, unless you like the larger size

[@photalk2461]

In 2024, which would be a better buy: a 27-inch 4K ProArt display or a 32-inch 2K ProArt display?

[@RumbaniNdhlovu]

I have a BenQ PD2700U. I love this monitor but my goal has always been to get a ProArt Monitor. 32Inch, 4K...

great Video thanks, I am looking into getting a ProArt PA329CRV since that should support Adobe RGB (at least it says so on the HP). The only thing that confuses me is if you go to the support side under drivers it only shows Windows drivers and nothing for Mac? Any idea why that is.

[@alexandremiguelleandro1566]

Hello, I do B&W photography. I saw that the blacks are not to very accurate. Are they still the best choice to edit B&W photography?

[@Jacqie]

What's great is you can further calibrate if it isn't the best, but the contrast ratio is still good and will still work great with B&W photography

[@alexandremiguelleandro1566]

Hey man, did you purchase the monitor? Im eyeing these monitors as well but i've been a little hesitant about it having the typical IPS 1000:1 contrast ratio and skewed blacks, since im going to consume content in the dark with it, so it kinda matters to me too. Did you get something else to edit your BW photos?

[@genetadlock5985]

Bought this monitor in January of this year. USB ports do not function. Sent for repair March 13, 2024 and just received it back May 23, 2024. The same problem exist and now the casement has been chipped all over. Have had numerous conversations, emails, with Asus support and still they have not complied with fixing the issue and due to the casement damage they need to replace the monitor completely. Guess I will need to post this in a KZbin video.

[@Jacqie]

That sucks, sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Seems ASUS has been at it again lately with support being bad

[@chirayushchakraborty670]

Is there any need of calibration or is the color accurate out of the box..I print my photos too..

[@Jacqie]

They all come with a report from the factory that should mean that it is 100% fine, but I would still calibrate if you really need it to be 100%

[@PunkR0ckz09]

I'm interestd in the PA328CGV, but I haven't seen a proper review of it, especially gaming. I do 3D content, I game, I watch movies and browse the web, so I need something that will be good in both gaming and 3D content creation.... I own a 5ms response monitor right now, but I'm afraid I might be missing out on a faster response time, although the games I play aren't competitive...
