WORDS SRINI SWAMINATHAN
The ASUS ProArt Display 5K PA27JCV is a game-changer for creative professionals, setting a new benchmark in display quality and color accuracy. Designed with professionals in photography, video editing, and graphic design in mind, this 27-inch 5K (5120×2880), 218 PPI monitor offers a stunning resolution that delivers razor-sharp visuals and unmatched clarity. First up, the unboxing experience: though everything is packaged securely and safely, it took a bit of time to figure out how everything fits together. We wish Asus had put extra effort into making the unboxing and setting up experience a joyful one. Once it was set up, it was a breeze to use it. Asus provides a Color Calibration Test Report with the monitor. The standout feature of the PA27JCV is its 100% DCI-P3 and AdobeRGB color gamut coverage, ensuring precise and vibrant color reproduction.
This is the monitor’s ability to reproduce 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which is a standard color space defined by the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI). This means the monitor is capable of producing almost all the vibrant colors required for professional tasks like video editing, film grading, and content creation. It is factory calibrated and Calman Verified, making it an ideal choice for those who need perfect color accuracy out of the box. With Delta E < 2, the monitor guarantees color consistency, which is critical for professional workflows. T he ergonomic design deserves praise as well. With adjustable tilt, swivel, pivot, and height settings, it ensures long hours of comfortable use. The monitor’s slim bezels enhance the immersive experience, while its ProArt Preset and ProArt Palette tools allow users to customize their color settings to suit specific tasks. We wish that the button and controls used for changing settings etc was made more solid, easy to use and not hidden away (though, this seems to be the case with most monitors in the market). Connectivity is another highlight, featuring T hunderbolt™ 4, USB-C (one of them is 96W), USB 3.0, DisplayPort, and HDMI ports, which make it compatible with a range of devices.
The Thunderbolt™ 4 port also supports fast data transfer and power delivery, adding to its versatility. For professionals who demand precision, reliability, and convenience, the ASUS ProArt Display 5K PA27JCV is a top-tier choice. Its combination of cutting-edge features, robust build quality, and exceptional display performance makes it a worthy investment for creative endeavors. Whether you’re retouching photos or editing high resolution videos, this monitor will elevate your work to new heights. The India price has not been released by Asus, but if its in line with the international price of $800, this 5K monitor will be amazing value.
