Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very good color quality, almost as same as my MacBook screen.

love the colors! fast great connectivity to my mac devices

Seems to be well built, and works great. Very pleased

When my Apple iMac 27” computer became “ancient” and stopped working, I switched to a 13” MacBook Pro laptop. But, doing photographic work I needed a larger monitor. In reading the reviews on line in several sites this monitor keep popping up. I went to Best Buy and they recommended I consider this monitor for the purposes I was searching. I bought it.What was great was that I knew that I could return it if I was not completely satisfied with the quality. I am extremely pleased with it’s high quality and ease of use with the MacBook Pro.

Amazon color It look awesome no complaints Recommended

If you're looking at this ASUS ProArt monitor, you're likely a graphics professional or someone otherwise interested in high-quality, color-accurate displays. As someone who does a modest amount of graphics work and is very sensitive to display quality, I can say I am highly satisfied with this monitor and count it as likely the best I've used in my personal or professional life. First off, this ASUS offers full 4k 60 hertz resolution at a nice 27-inch size. Having been used to a 24-inch 1080p display I can say the switch to 4k was immediately noticeable. It's akin to going from an old Android phone to the latest iPhone -- you no longer see the pixels in the display at your typical seating distance, and everything is rendered crisply. This ASUS offers a display experience in line with what most modern smart phones and tablets, as well as high-end laptops, offer. If you haven't yet used a 4k display the difference really is something to experience, and going back to a non-4k display is pretty tough! I am driving this display with a 13-inch Surface Book 2 and a Surface Dock 2 and have had no issues with full 4k resolution at 60 hertz via a USB-C connection. You'll want to make sure your computer and/or docking solution are capable of driving high-resolution displays like this one, but I'm fairly confident most computers and even tablets from the past few years should have no trouble. The "ProArt" designation of this model clearly targets it at the "prosumer" level, and ASUS packs in plenty of pro-level goodies to satisfy you. Here are some highlights: First, the connections. The ASUS includes two HDMI ports, a DisplayPort and a USB-C port, giving you maximum flexibility and compatibility, especially if you want to connect multiple machines to one display. All these ports are capable of accepting both video and audio, as the ASUS includes built-in speakers. The sound quality isn't much to write home about, but it's entirely acceptable for Zoom calls, which is all I need it for in my setup. In addition to the aforementioned ports, the ASUS includes four USB-A ports and a headphone jack. You'll need to connect to the monitor with USB-C to enable the auxiliary USB ports. I did this and connected my webcam to one of the ports and everything works as expected. Connecting via USB-C offers one additional benefit: The ASUS can supply up to 65W to your computer via the USB-C Power Delivery standard. This is plenty for many tablets and laptops, but you'll need to check your specific device's needs. My Surface Book requires over 100W, meaning it'll charge slowly or not at all via this connection, depending on how intensively I'm using it. However, if your device doesn't need as much power as mine, you might have a true "one-cable" connection with this monitor. Definitely check to see how many watts your device draws if you're hoping to use the ASUS as both monitor and hub; regardless of power needs, the USB-C connection does offer simplicity and future-proofing. Next up in the ProArt highlights is the build quality and adjustability. This ASUS is well-built, with a nicely-weighted stand included. Even heavy typers like me shouldn't notice any side-to-side wobbling. Even better, the included stand allows you to rotate the screen side-to-side, move it up and down, change the angle and even rotate it 180 degrees for reading long documents or other uses. I'm really pleased with the overall build quality and appearance. The ASUS offers black and dark-ish gray accents and is attractive without being flashy. You may notice the display itself is thicker/deeper than some others, but that's because of all the ports and the built-in power supply. This means you get a standard three-prong power cord, rather than the cord/power brick combo that many other monitors use. I vastly prefer the standard power cord of this ASUS to the cord/brick setup. It's neater overall and allows you to swap out the power cord easily for a longer one if needed. Even better, ASUS includes a power switch on the back of the monitor that kills power to the entire device, in addition to the regular power button on the front that puts the display into a very low power draw "off" mode. Finally, let's talk about the picture quality. In short, it's both excellent out of the box and highly-customizable. A big reason for choosing a ProArt-branded model is the certified factory calibration of the display, which is CalMan Verified -- basically, you're getting nearly-perfect color reproduction from day one without any extra work on your part, though it's a little more complex than that. First, the CalMan Verification is only for two of the monitor's color modes: sRGB and Rec. 709. If you know what those are and work primarily in one of those two modes, you're calibrated and good to go. The ASUS offers multiple color modes in addition to these, but they're not CalMan Verified. Switching between modes is done using the OSD menu system and buttons on the front, or by installing ASUS' ProArt Chroma Tune applet. This runs in the background of Windows and lets you change color modes via the right-click menu or set up automatic mode-switching when you launch certain apps, like Adobe InDesign. I'm far from an expert, but I can tell you the sRGB preset is both a widely-used display standard and factory-calibrated, making it the best bet for most. I found a big step down in brightness from the Standard preset, and there are no adjustments to brightness allowed when using the sRGB preset. I find it just a little too dim for everyday use myself, but your mileage may vary. Colors seem plenty accurate in the Standard preset and the brightness is fully adjustable here, so that might be a good compromise for most uses except highly color-sensitive work. I won't run through each preset, but suffice it to say, there are plenty of options. This ProArt model allows for a wide range of customizations in addition to the presets, and you can save two presets for yourself once you dial in your preferred settings. Anyone looking for a highly-customizable display should find what they need here, but again, you'll want to explore the full specifications to make sure the ProArt can accommodate you -- and I'm guessing it can. I personally find myself bouncing between the Standard and sRGB presets depending on what I'm doing. This thing gets plenty bright, so much so that on the Standard mode's 50% brightness default, a screen that's mostly white is far too bright in my modestly-lit home environment. Certainly the ASUS should get bright enough for any home or office environment and I'd wager a guess that even direct light from behind won't wash things out too much if you crank the backlight. Again, the ability to customize things to your needs makes a big difference. In addition to the presets the display and full control over color, brightness, contrast etc. in the OSD menu, the ASUS offers a blue light filter and picture-in-picture modes, on-screen guides for standard document sizes, adaptive sync refresh controls and more. Suffice it to say, you can probably find a mode or setting for just about anything. I'll highlight one final mode: HDR. The ASUS supports HDR10 content and I successfully enabled Windows 10 full color/HDR mode. I found the picture excellent by my sensitive but untrained eyes, however I noticed animations were a little slow in HDR mode (things like scrolling or minimizing ap windows), even running at a full 60 hz, so I turned HDR off. If you're someone that wants to use this as a way to stream Netflix you might find HDR to your liking, but again, your situation may vary. In conclusion, this is an excellent factory-calibrated 4k display with enough customization to last a lifetime. It easily blows most consumer-oriented models out of the water and should meet the needs of many discerning graphics-oriented professionals. Those looking for pro-level connections and settings should be satisfied, but I encourage you to read through all of ASUS' product information before making your final decision. This ASUS easily satisfies my high-end consumer/prosumer needs, and I look forward to using it for years to come.

Large enough to meet all my video editing needs & still have extra space. I love the usb ports and the usbc to plug directly into my MacBook Pro.

Wow, very impressed with this monitor for the price. For photo editing purposes, excellent monitor.

These monitors are not all made the same. I bought two of these a year apart. The first one I got which I am writing a review about turned out to be a complete lemon that ASUS won't do anything about. They claim they "couldn't replicate the issue". I sent it in twice. The monitor got worse the first time I sent it in after they "replaced the display, main board, and keypad". I had to reach out and ask them what they did, they thought they could just shipped it back without a word. When I bought the first unit three years ago I was pretty happy with it because I had just the one monitor. Once I got this second unit a year after, I noticed how neutral and bright the first monitor was supposed to be. Side by side, the first monitor I bought is much warmer. The whites look more yellowed compared to the second newer monitor. The first monitor is also just darker. Both monitors are set to sRGB mode and the color accuracy is suppose to be ΔE < 2. They both came with a calibration sheet, and the numbers on paper say their supposed to be almost identical to each other. Yet they aren't at all. "When ΔE < 2, it means that the color difference is very small and generally imperceptible to the average human eye." However it is very perceptible. If you buy just one monitor, you're going to think you're getting a great product, until you buy a second unit and you realize how inconsistent and garbage ASUS is. I wouldn't even recommend buying this monitor if you don't buy them in pairs or if you lack any calibration tools. Imagine buying an extra unit years later and realizing your first one is garbage and now you're stuck with two different colored monitors. How is this consistent for PROfessional ARTists? Imagine trusting ASUS calibration claims and perceiving your colors wrong for years. Also, the firmware update process is embarrassingly poor. This is supposed to be their ProArt line.

Great picture, crisp, sharp, colors vivid. Easy to set up and connect.

Great monitor. Color accuracy way the main reason I purchased this unit. Good value for the cost.

Fantastic display! For the price I would've preferred a more premium stand though.

It's an amazing monitor in terms of visuals, but the big reason why I bought this monitor was because of its USB-C connection so I could run both the display connection and the charging line at the same time through the USB-C cord from my Macbook into the monitor. Lo and behold it detects my Macbook about 25% of the time. Tried dozens of restarts/sleeps etc with my Macbook USB-C cord and ASUS' supplied cord. I wish I could return this darn thing by this point but the time has passed. So I had to buy a $100 HyperDrive DUO 7 port in the hopes that I can put the latest ASUS update on a USB drive (also have to buy) in an attempt to update this freaking thing. For now I just gave up and used the DUO 7 port with my Macbook to use an HDMI connection, so my macbook is forever stuck with this tumor of cords on it instead of my original intention. For $500+ I would've expected something that actually works and am NEVER buying ASUS again.

A truly great monitor for color accurate workflows

excellent graphics for photos: excellent for watching videos

This is a good monitor for content creators but it comes with a steep price tag.

It’s like watching a 4K TV on your desk! Excellent picture

No far so good. No set up issues and color seems fine. I have only had for a few weeks but I would recommend for anyone working with Photoshop/imagery.

What an incredible monitor for the money. Sharp, clean, colors are vibrant yet accurate. Looked around for a while and as a photographer and videographer I can say very happy with this monitor. I use a Mac Mini M1 and have no issues.

Learned that I received a used item instead of new. The firmware had to be updated via a Windows PC in order to use the monitor with my Mac. The monitor doesn't play nice with multiple inputs (even though it's designed to be used with multiple input sources). I tried giving the monitor a chance and monitored the Asus website for firmware updates, but this seems to be it. This is the monitor that they designed and produced. This has got to be the worst monitor I've ever owned and has proven to be detrimental to my workflow when I'm spending work hours trying to get the monitor to work.
