The ASUS ProArt PA279CRV targets creators directly with highly precise factory calibration and 65W USB-C charging. It's one of the most reliable picks for photo and video editing. The price is steep but justified by the color accuracy.
Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV run at?
The panel shows 3840x2160 pixels across 27 inches, around 163 pixels per inch. That is a 4K definition, roughly 4 times the pixels of a Full HD panel, so text looks sharper at the same display size. The IPS panel keeps colours stable whatever the viewing angle.
Is the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV a good monitor for gaming?
Not as a priority. The panel tops out at 60 Hz, enough for office work, video and slow paced games. For fast games, the 144 Hz and higher models in the comparison remain far better suited. The 27 inches at 3840x2160 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
Does the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV have a USB-C connection?
Yes, a USB-C port sits on its connection panel, which keeps the number of desk cables down. Beyond that it offers HDR, a height adjustable stand and built in speakers, but goes without a curved panel. The adjustable stand saves you from adding a riser to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV worth 530 euros?
At 530 euros it scores 4.6/5 across 850 Amazon reviews. That is one of the best scores in the category. We gave it our Top creative pick label in the selection. Main strength: factory calibration Delta E<2. Main compromise: high price.
