ASUS ProArt 24" Monitor - WUXGA (1920 x 1200), 16:10 Monitor, 100% sRGB/Rec.709 ΔE < 2, IPS, DisplayPort, HDMI, Calman Verified, Anti-Glare, Tilt, Pivot, Swivel, Height Adjustable - PA248QV

I’m particular about design. It took me 5 tries to find a monitor that met my needs. Thought I’d write up a review in case it’s helpful to someone else. No one has paid me for this review. Keep in mind I am using a monitor to extend the display of my MacBook Pro. My needs: I am a writer and wanted to be able to have multiple pages documents open at the same time. I also do some graphic design and wanted to have true colors represented on the screen. I live in a small cabin so this monitor would also need to serve as my TV—high streaming quality and beautiful resolution is a must. They pretty much only make 4K monitors in the 27” size and those are too large for me to use as a work screen and also too large for my space. That left me trying to figure out what smaller monitor would have a high resolution--it took multiple tries. I also am sensitive to light and wanted something that wouldn’t hurt my eyes after being in front of it for long hours. Dell 24 Plus Monitor - S2425HSM CONS There is no option to hook up a USB-C or thunderbolt cable on this monitor. Thus you can not charge your laptop by plugging it into the monitor. This monitor is designed so that you plug an HDMI cable into your laptop and then into the monitor. HDMI cables are bulky and don’t bend as easily as a USB-C or Thunderbolt cable. HDMI cables do not charge your laptop. USB-C or Thunderbolt cables are more bendy and charge your laptop directly from your monitor. You cannot have your MacBook in clamshell mode (laptop closed) without having your laptop charging cable plugged in. Thus instead of one USB-C or Thunderbolt cable you have the bulky HDMI and your laptops power cord. When I had all the cables hooked up it felt messy and it was all sort of awkwardly mashed into the desk riser I built. The text resolution of this monitor was pretty pixilated. Downloading Better Display and creating a virtual screen helped a bit. PROS 144Hz refresh rate The streaming quality wasn’t as good as some of the monitors I’d try later on but it was pretty darn good! Speakers are great. Pretty much no eye strain! It’s so odd but I completely fell in love with this monitor despite the fact that it really didn’t meet any of my core needs. I loved the color, the sleek design and the ease of the mini joystick on the monitor itself. The menu on this monitor via the joystick was really enjoyable and adjusting the settings produced effective results (more so than the U2424HE which I’ll review next). I actually liked the menu options on this (adjusting the color, brightness, gamma, screen mode etc) better than any other monitor. I loved the 16:9 ratio which I would return to when all was said and done. I barely was able to return this monitor because I was weirdly attached to it. I’d say this is perfect for a high school or college student. As far as budget monitors go, this is a really great option. If it had a USB C option I doubt I would have returned it or bought a thousand other monitors trying to find the right one. Dell UltraSharp 24" Hub Monitor - (U2424HE) CONS This monitor supposedly has better resolution than the Dell S2425HSM. I put them side by side and played the same show. No matter how I adjusted the settings, the U2424HE looked overly red. And the resolution wasn’t that much better, if at all. Text did appear to be slightly sharper but it wasn’t a significant difference. Contains a USB C Port but would not allow me to put laptop into clamshell mode without having laptop power cord plugged in. Only 60Hz refresh rate PROS None. I can’t recommend this for anyone. ASUS ProArt 24” (24.1” viewable) 16:10 HDR Professional Monitor (PA248CRV) CONS Text still wasn’t as sharp as I’d like. I didn’t like the screen ratio. But I didn’t know how much I would miss the 16:9 of that first Dell until I tried this one. This is more of a personal preference than a mark against the brand. It does have more vertical space if that is important to you. PROS It features a USB-C port (one step down from a Thunderbolt cable) that handles video, data, and charging simultaneously. Streaming quality was decent. Better than both Dells, not as good as BenQ or Asus PA24ACRV. Daisy chaining and comprehensive USB hub with 4 ports. No noticeable eye strain after adjusting settings a bit. I got very close to keeping this one but I couldn’t get over the ratio. It is a decent monitor though so I ended up giving it to a friend. BenQ MA270U 27” 4K 3840x2160 CONS At this point I was about at my wits end and thought that I’d have to get a 27” to get the resolution that I was after. I tried to use this as my work monitor and it was overwhelming. I know a lot of people use a 27” monitor but that was too much for me. 4K panels often require much stronger backlights to push light through those tiny pixels, which can be brutal for light-sensitive eyes in a small space. No matter what I did with the settings it was too bright. This monitor supposedly has blue light blocking technology built in. Look—if eye stain is an issue for you, what I realized is that less is more. Some of these high resolution monitors achieve true colors by using a lot of light, and no amount of filters, screen shade, night shift, blue light glasses etc, is going to help with that much light coming at you. Even when I took the opacity waaaaay down and had all the filters on I still felt like I was being radiated. This monitor is very large and heavy. Not great for a small desk set up in a small cabin. It about crushed my desk riser. PROS Really beautiful colors and crisp text. Super cool software download (from BenQ website) that allows you to adjust settings. No need for clunky buttons. Compatibility with Apple. I ended up giving this monitor to my partner to use as his new TV in the living room. Sitting back from it a few more feet, it’s easier to appreciate. ASUS ProArt Display 24” (23.8 inch viewable) 1440P Professional Monitor (PA24ACRV) This is the one I ultimately kept for myself. CONS My main complaint is that the physical design of the monitor feels a bit outdated. Sort of 90’s. Dell did a really great job condensing their buttons on their monitor to the one mini joystick. On the Asus monitors it’s a bunch of buttons across the bottom right side of the monitor. Feels clunky. These should be accessed through the joystick or hidden. Speakers are pretty awful. PROS 16:9 ratio It has very sharp text. The silver color of the monitor base is the same as my MacBook Pro. USB-C Power Delivery (A step down from Thunderbolt—working great for me). I only have ONE cable plugged in to the monitor and no need for the powercord for my laptop. Daisy Chain capability with multiple USB ports for mouse, external hard drive etc. and other types as well. Pixel Density (123 PPI). Standard 24" monitors are usually 1080p (~93 PPI), which macOS struggles to scale, leading to "gray/blurry" text. Much higher resolution than the Asus PA248CRV that I had tried. Text is crisp. Even crisper after implementing Better Display. Seriously try Better Display. Ask Ai how to set it up. Spending $21 for the pro version of this software can make a monitor like this feel like a much more expensive monitor because macOS assumes most of these monitors are a low-resolution screen. It doesn't use its high-quality "Retina" scaling. Using this software helps these monitors reach their potential. This monitor has a deeper black than the Dell monitors I tried where the text appeared to be a gray. Colors are vibrant and photos are incredibly vivid. Resolution quality is great in Adobe/Design work and during streaming. I noticed that when I’m streaming from Safari as opposed to Chrome, the quality is significantly better.

It has everything I would ever want in a monitor, glad I held off and waited till I was able to get this over other monitors. The 16:10 Aspect Ratio looks great on After Effects and Gaming as coincidentally it shares the same aspect ratio as the Steam Deck. These are the best colors I've seen on a display since probably my M1 Macbook Air but it's probably better seeing how neutral it is and the anti reflective screen is really nice to see whatever is being displayed. It has 5ms latency from what I've researched and it performs perfectly for 60fps-75fps gaming which is all I need. You do have the abliity to switch inputs between Displayport, HDMI, and VGA which is great if you have a capture card and only want to use one Display for multiple devices. The stand is also pretty nice and offers a lot breathing room for your desk. It also has speakers which I wasn't expecting and its serviceable at best but its there when I need it which is perfectly fine. Only gripe is that any area that's dark and has high contrast white in the image it'll bloom a decent amount in a dark room so that's pretty annoying but usually I can turn on the lights in my room anyways which is probably better for my eyes too. Overall I would recommend this to every aspiring content creator if they're looking for an extremely high quality Display on a budget, if I had more disposable money I would absolutely have gotten a 2nd one to go with this one.

I am digital artist and bought two of this monitors. Really happy of the results. Was going to buy previous gen Asus pro art monitors (this model is the 3th gen) but this one beats them cause of 144hz refresh rate and 10bit color depth. don't expect good speakers from monitor (if anyone interested). and screen is more reflective than I was expecting. Also I am using both of them side by side and panels are not so great from any viewing angle. It is my first experience with QHD 144hz monitor, and it is just amazing. packaging is such a lightweight and well secured slick box. I shipped in Georgia (the country) and it is nice packaging for me (no extra fees because of less weight and don't takes big space in shipping container) I really recommend this monitor to everyone who needs a multipurpose monitor within budget. its good for single player gaming, for color accurate work (good for digital drawing and photo edit, games are just wonderful looking) and contrast is really good to watch films. image is very crisp. The best price range for those specifications.

I recently upgraded to the ASUS 24.1-inch monitor, and wow, it’s been a game-changer for both gaming and working from home. My old monitor is officially retired, and this new one has blown me away. **Build Quality** This monitor looks and feels amazing. It’s sleek, sturdy, and fits perfectly on my desk. It’s like having a stylish new gadget that makes my workspace look cooler. **Performance** The 1920 x 1200 resolution is fantastic. The colors are bright and the details are super clear, making everything from work tasks to gaming look great. Plus, the brightness is just right, so no more eye strain during those long hours in front of the screen. **Ease of Use** Setting it up was a piece of cake, even for someone like me who isn’t super tech-savvy. The menu is easy to navigate, and the ASUS ProArt features let me tweak the colors and settings without any hassle. **Connectivity** This monitor has all the ports I need: DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB 3.0. It’s super flexible, so I can easily connect my laptop, gaming console, and other devices without any problems. **Ergonomic Design** The adjustable stand is a lifesaver. I can set the monitor to the perfect height and angle, which has really helped with my posture. No more hunching over or neck pain after long sessions at my desk. **Versatility** As a student, I also use this monitor for reading books and documents. The 16:10 aspect ratio is great for viewing content vertically, so I can read long texts without having to scroll constantly. It’s like having a mini library on my desk! **Value for Money** For the quality and performance it offers, this monitor is definitely worth the price. It’s been an excellent investment and has exceeded my expectations in every way. **Recommendation** If you’re looking for a monitor that’s versatile and enhances productivity, gaming, and reading, I highly recommend the ASUS 24.1-inch. It’s reliable, well-designed, and delivers top-notch performance for all kinds of tasks. You won’t be disappointed!

Es el primer monitor para contenido profesional que compro y me gustó muchísimo. Su relación de aspecto 16:10, lo cual lo hace un poco más alto, dando un aspecto un tanto cuadrado (el cual me gusta más que uno convencional 16:9), te da más espacio de trabajo de diseño y en mi caso que edito videos, me da un espacio extra para ya sea la linea de tiempo, previo de video o carpetas del proyecto. Se siente bien agusto jugar minecraft en pantalla -casi- cuadrada. De hecho, pensé que 24'1 pulgadas sería más chica la pantalla, y con resolución 1920 x 1200, no se notan los pixeles, a menos que te acerques mucho a la pantalla, puede que los veas y de paso te quedes ciego. El monitor vino con un cable HDMI, yo creí que era un DP pero no es gran problema para mi realmente. se ve excelente, 75hz (74.93 hz realmente) se notan, la configuración de colores está más que perfecto para las necesidades, y más el espacio Rec709 cuando hago trabajos de color preciso. Para quien se pregunta si pueden jugar con este monitor: si eres jugador competitivo o profesional o en pocas palabras: tu prioridad es jugar, entoncecs no tendrás ventaja alguna. Pero mira, yo uso este monitor para mi PC (no lo uso con consola, no se si es relevante mencionarlo) juego Halo Infinite y Minecraft normalmente, y la verdad no necesito más por ahora, en Halo a veces no uso la sincronización vertical y tengo de 90 a 200 fps y se ve nitido los gráficos, y se ven los cortes en la pantalla por los hz pero a mi personalmente no me molestan, el juego no se congela ni nada, a veces ni se notan esas lineas. y cuando uso la sincronización vertical, se estabiliza el juego en fps, se ve más suave, estable, pero pierde calidad de gráficos pero yo creo que es por los hz (lo más seguro obviamente), entre más hz más nitido se ve. RESUMEN: excelente opción si haces trabajo profesional o creación de contenido digital, yo te diría que compres 2 (si los encuentras en oferta). Para juegos casuales está más que bien, es suficiente, pero te digo, si eres competitivo, hay opciones especificamente para eso y puede que hasta más baratos.

Los monitores me encantaron. Los compre porque estaban de oferta en el hotsale, yo compré dos unidades para mi escritorio. Pros. - Los colores se ven increíbles, yo ya tuve uno 144hz 1440p pero era gaming de panel VA o TN, la verdad es que la diferencia es mucha. - Por conectividad puedes conectar el monitor mediante HDMI, DisplayPort o USBC, (los 3 cables están incluidos). - No tiene fuente de alimentación externa, se conecta directo de la corriente hacia el monitor (considera comprar un UPS o un regulador de voltaje). - Para los que son diseñadores, trae un certificado firmado para lo de las gamas de colores DCIP3 y AdobeRGB. - El soporte te permite usarlo de varias maneras, es solido y firme, aunque la verdad yo usaría mejor un par de brazos ya que la base en sí es algo estorbosa y quita espacio en el escritorio. Contras: - El monitor cuenta con una "regla" en la pantalla en la parte inferior, realmente es inutil, ya que no coincide el inicio de la regla con la imagen en pantalla. - No cuentan con Gsync, solo FreeSync Fuera de todo eso la verdad es que lo recomiendo, yo trabajo con ambos monitores en mi día a día, los 1440p me permiten tener todas mis ventanas abiertas, los 144hz los uso cuando juego ocasionalmente.

The screen quality meets expectations, the color, brightness, and display is as expected. The build quality of the frame and buttons needs work, the wheel pops off but can be snapped back on, and the button feels lopsided.

Excelente monitor, calibrado de fábrica, muy cómodo y con calidad de imagen a la altura de las expectativas.
