ProArt Display 27" Monitor PA278CV - WQHD (2560 x 1440), IPS, 100% sRGB, 100% Rec. 709, ΔE < 2, Calman Verified, USB Hub, USB-C, DisplayPort Daisy-Chaining, HDMI, Eye Care, Height Adjustable

This is an outstanding display featuring accurate colors (10-bit, calibrated, HDR 400) and smooth motion handling that is easy on the eyes. The sole drawback is the integrated speakers. The audio quality is subpar—even basic $10 speakers outperform them.

Wow!!! I just received the monitor and set it up. I works great, I am using it on my 2019 Mac Pro and its just as good as the apple display but way lower price, I am trying different resolutions and I am loving it. The other competitor is the LG Ultra Fine monitors are about $1,800 for the 40" Curved which I might get for gaming due to higher htz. This is a good alternative for the Apple display if your on a budget like I am.

LOVE my new monitor. 1) takes up only a small amount of desk real estate (YEAH), 2) fits the location of my prior monitor (no changes needed in my set up - YEAH), 3) Easy to assemble and get operational (YEAH), 4) Looks great, great color (YEAH). I just completed photo processing of a new magazine shoot. Very pleased.

The ASUS PA329CRV is a very good monitor, but unfortunately my copy had one major issue that I tried to ignore for almost a month, but I eventually returned it. My copy unfortunately had mediocre color white point uniformity, with a significant “warm” area in the top left area of the display, which for me was unacceptable for photo editing. I used the Datacolor Spyder X2 Elite to measure the monitor’s performance. Here are the pros and cons of the monitor from my perspective: Pros: - Very good color gamut: I measured 100% sRGB, 94% P3 (Asus claims 98%) in P3 mode (This is pre-calibration, but calibrated results are essentially the same) - Excellent Color Accuracy out of the box: Average Delta-E was 0.73, with a max of 2.86 for just one test color. Everything else was around 1 or below (This is pre-calibration, but the calibrated results were essentially the same) - Pretty decent contrast and brightness for an IPS monitor, especially for photo editing (average of about 1010:1 at brightness levels between 120 cd/m2 to 200 cd/m2) - Perfect Gamma of 2.2 out of the box (in the P3 mode) - Decent viewing angles (better than cheaper IPS monitors) - Very good price point for a monitor at this performance level for photo editing - Good build quality Cons: - Poor color balance uniformity for photo editing. I noticed this very soon after I turned on the monitor. I first told myself that maybe it was just my perception, so I tried ignoring it. But the Datacolor Spyder X2 tests confirmed what my eyes were seeing. When calibrated, the center screen color temperature was 6500K (as excepted), but the upper left was 6200K or bellow. I may have simply received a bad copy of the monitor. Unfortunately, Amazon did not give me the option to replace the monitor when I went to return it; I could only return it or I would have opted for a replacement (maybe it was a pricing issue or stock issue at the time I tried to replace/return it). I may try buying another copy when it goes back on sale. - The sRGB Mode was basically not usable for me. Although it produced exactly 80 cd/m2 (according to the "official" sRGB display spec), there’s no way to adjust the brightness to accommodate for the ambient lighting. You cannot tweak anything in the sRGB mode, like brightness, contrast, or RGB values, so you cannot accommodate for room conditions. - The control joystick is a little finicky compared to my last ASUS monitor, so you need to have a very light touch in order not to make the wrong selections. If you are able to get a good copy of the monitor that does not have the color uniformity problem that I had, then it’s a very good monitor at a good price. I’m including some of the Datacolor Spyder X2 measurement data, as there are not many detailed reviews of this monitor on the internet.

We are so very pleased with this product that we purchased 2 of them! We have a 2019 MacBook Pro and a 2020 MacBook Air and this monitor provides greater picture quality at a very affordable price. We had previously ordered the a Dell 32" curved monitor that did not provide the clarity of the ASUS and tried a 4K 32" Dell that had good sharpness, but it would randomly go black because of incompatibility with our older MacBooks (not even work on the Air model). The ASUS product looks great, has USB-C so we can now power and communicate with our Macs using a single cord, the sharpness and brightness of the picture is amazing, and the numerous features are incredible. We are so thankful for being able to purchase these on Amazon!

I've been using two of these with a Mac Mini for over a year. A great setup. No issues with the displays whatsoever -- the Mac mini can be a bit weird with two displays, but that's a separate issue.

I purchased 2 Asus ProArt 32" PA329CRV for professional color-accurate work. Throughout 3 orders (due to returns), I received 5 units in total. Strangely, 3 of the units had faint gray smudges — maybe dead pixels, but also looked like blotches that spanned multiple pixels and were visible under all solid backgrounds (white, red, green, blue, etc.). These are very distracting for product photo editing or any color-critical use. See my photos, but the defects are more noticeable in real life. In contrast, the other 2 units were clean. Interestingly, the 3 defective ones were all manufactured in 2025 with serials ending in 9000, and the 2 clean ones were made in 2023 with serials ending in 4000. Though I can’t say for certain this applies to all 2023 vs. 2025 panels — it's just what I observed. That said, all three 2025 panels had defects is jaw-dropping for a monitor targeted at professionals. To make things more frustrating, I returned one of the two clean 2023 panels due to uneven backlighting seen during a gray uniformity test — but later realized that it was caused by Local Dimming. I don't know what's up with their algorithm to have caused such weird behavior, the bottom line is that you should just turn local dimming off as it's not useful anyway. Unfortunately, there is no way to get the one back, more ordering can't guarantee getting an old 2023 panel. Also note: Amazon somehow did not allow replacements even though promised so on the purchase page, I had to return and reorder — which matters if you bought at a discount. Luckily, Amazon's customer service did promise to refund the price difference for the reordered units. The smaller 27" version (PA279CRV) is widely recommended for professional use, and I don’t know if it suffers from the same issues. But I’d be cautious with the 32" PA329CRV — especially if these smudges would bother you. There aren’t many pro monitors at this spec and price, so I’ve decided to keep two of them, even though the 2025 panel I kept still has a minor defect, it's less noticeable than the other two 2025 panels I returned. It works — but knowing the flaw is there is annoying.

My first real monitor for photo editing and I’m super happy. I’m just using it with my MacBook Air and everything is seamless. Even our older MacBooks have some new life and with this monitors flexibility and connection options. The built-in hub feature is absolutely incredible and keeps my workspace clean. I’m running my Nikon z6 webcam and Rodecaster Pro-2 through the built-in usb hub to the 16gb equipped MacBook Air running OBS with zero problems. Also having just about every cable included was a nice touch to get up and running immediately. The colors and profiles are eye popping. I just need to train my eyes to accommodate the extra real estate. Coming from a 15 inch laptop monitor to 27 inches means I can’t just scan with my eyes, I now have to move my head too. It’s a lot to take in, but in a good way. My desk is neater and my stress level is lower, and productivity is higher. Looking forward to many good years of productivity with this monitor.
