ASUS ProArt Display 27” 5K HDR Professional Monitor (PA27JCV) - 5K (5120 x 2880), IPS, 99% DCI-P3, 100% sRGB, ?E < 2, USB-C PD 96W, Calman Verified, Color Accurate, Auto KVM, LuxPixel

I have reasons not to give it 5 stars, but I think that people who buy or are thinking of buying this monitor should at least watch a few review videos on YouTube about the product. Yes, the speakers are terrible, it doesn't come with a webcam, the stand shakes (I don't know that one because I'm using Vesa mounting), and so on and so forth. When I bought it, I knew exactly what I was expecting: an anti-glare 5k monitor for my Macbook M1 Max, with USB-C connection (not Thunderbolt 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9), no fancy aluminum parts, but a good quality image in a 27" 5K monitor, that is it. That is the reason I'm giving it 5 stars, it is exactly what I bought, $799ish 27 5K monitor, which allowed me to buy 2 of them without having to sell my kidneys to afford. Now that I already talked about what this monitor does not have, let's talk about what it has: excellent image quality, excellent anti-glare panel, excellent brightness (around 400 nits), and excellent color calibration out of the box (at least for me a software engineer that does not care about the perfect color P3, adobe, etc.). Would I recommend it for my enemy? No, perhaps I would recommend the Samsung Infinity S9. Would I recommend it for a friend? Yes, absolutely.

Packaged well and protected. Easy, rather intuitive assembly, no tools required. Picture rivals previous Apple monitor. Small type in spreadsheets easy to read, very crisp and clear. Works well with Apple mini M4, easy hookup using included HDMI cable. Very thin bezel on three sides, thicker bezel on bottom has most controls if you need to change any settings, out of the box factory setting were right on. Tiny joystick built in at right side of bottom bezel activates menues although didn't need to change anything. About half the price of Apple monitor.

I've been wanting to step up from my several years old 4K monitors and claims of an improved antiglare coating pushed me over the edge. This monitor exceeded my expectations. Tiny text is noticeably improved, glare is nearly gone, blacks are blacker and colors are more vibrant. I hooked up the DisplayPort to my PC, HDMI to my Roku Ultra and USB-C to my 2018 Mac Mini. All work well... with the exception of the PC not being detected correctly half the time when it comes out of sleep mode so I have to switch inputs and back again. Radeon 7900 on the PC. I bought a second monitor for my work laptop, bog standard business laptop with 12th gen i5, and a couple of times the screen has been distorted after waking up. Hopefully there will be a firmware update to address this. The monitor looks so good that I'm willing to put up with those quirks. The user interface is easy to navigate. Per other reviews I set DCI-P3 and disabled Dynamic Dimming. I also disabled the power indicator (thank you ASUS!) and cut the brightness to 25%. I haven't played with the KVM yet. I bought a 3' long Monoprice braided 8K DisplayPort cable for my desktop and a 1 meter long Cable Matters 16K DisplayPort cable for the laptop. HDMI and USB-C cables were included. I have headphones plugged into the audio output.

I’ve been doing paid creative work (photo/video/design) for 12 years. Plugging in an M1 Pro MBP. Ordered new in USA. First thought after the display turned on was, “is this covered in grease?” No dead pixels, I find the build quality good enough, easy to put together, but then there’s this terribly obvious layer of static rainbow grain covering everything. The pixel density is awesome and seems great.. but it’s underneath that gross rainbow grain.. It’s the same look other screens get when you put a cheap screen protector on, or when I get off a phone-to-ear call and my phone screen is covered in skin grease. I’m NOT talking about moire, I think it’s just that the anti-glare coating on the screen is distractingly terrible. I contacted ASUS support and they need two days to think about how to help or reply. Tried plugging it in with HDMI, and Thunderbolt/USB-C. The Thunderbolt definitely looks better in other ways but no change at all in the rainbow grain. Tried different res levels, color profiles, turning every setting on/off, changing my viewing angle, gently wiping a small test spot with microfiber cloth, etc. I don’t think it’s even worth it to wait a couple days to see what they say because what else are they gonna recommend besides just returning it?? What a waste of time. How did this nasty anti-glare coating pass their fancy standards, it’s terribly distracting and makes my eyes water lol
