Asus ProArt Display PA27JCV 27" 5K Monitor professionale

The ASUS ProArt PA27JCV is very good for editing. It's quite accurate before calibration and displays a wide range of colors. Its 5k resolution also delivers detailed images. However, it has considerable backlight bleed, and deep blacks look uneven in a dark room. It's also not ideal for editing HDR content, as highlights don't pop, and its HDR colors aren't very vivid.

The PA27JCV is a competitively-priced screen that delivers an excellent experience for viewing both stills images and movies. It’s bright and colourful with deep, rich blacks and sparkling whites. Its ability to display detail is impressive. It provides sufficient flexibility for content creators of all types and at all levels. We found the factory calibration required little or no tweaking before use. For these reasons we’ve awarded the PA27JCV an Editor’s Choice rating and can recommend it to anyone who wants an enjoyable screen for everyday use at a price that won’t put too big a dent in the budget.

For extreme color accuracy and high pixel density, look no further than the Asus ProArt PA27JCV. It delivers reference level performance for content creators and delivers high value in the pro monitor category.

It's been fascinating to test the ASUS ProArt PA27JCV for the last week, given its target market is a world away from the gaming screens I am used to reviewing. This is clearly designed for professional use, and discerning professional users at that, and I have to say ASUS has done a great job overall.
