ASUS ProArt Display 27” 4K HDR Professional Monitor (PA279CRV) - IPS, UHD (3840 x 2160), 99% DCI-P3/Adobe RGB, ΔE < 2, Calman Verified, USB-C PD 96W, DisplayPort, Daisy-Chain, Ergonomic, 3yr Warranty

I have an Apple Studio Display and was using a BenQ PD2705U 4k display with my work and home computer setups. The BenQ worked fine and looked decent but it just wasn't bright enough in my office on sunny days. I was considering a 2nd Studio display but needed a KVM that would allow me to switch between my work MacBook Air and my personal M2 Pro Mac Mini. This works perfectly. Single cable connection to the laptop for charging and display and 2 cables to the mac mini. I have the MacBook air connected via the USB C input to provide power delivery as well as the video feed. I have the Mac Mini connected directly via the HDMI 2.1 output on the Mac Mini, and USB devices are shared via connecting a USB-C from an OWC Thunderbolt 3 hub. This setup appears stable and works well. I do not share my Studio Display with the MacBook air so the Asus is just a shared monitor between these 2 devices that I switch back and forth as needed. The monitor shares almost identical panel height with a Studio Monitor so if you have the 2 setting side by side one doesn't look significantly larger than the other.This is much brighter than my old BenQ monitor and the default display profile is very very very close to the Studio Display's default profile as well. If you pixel peep you can see subtle differences in color but for the most part the 2 displays look identical without a lot of tweaking of settings. The color calibration certificate for mine shows a delta for DCI-P3 or .53. For sRGB it's .65. I saw some reviewers that mentioned light bleed from the backlight. I tested this and if you're really looking, in a dark room, there's a little around the edges of my unit but it's so minimal I think it's a non issue.The connections are relatively sparse compared to the BenQ but there are enough so that I can connect the Logitech Bolt receiver in the USB A under the chin of the monitor and share a mouse and keyboard between the 2 computers wirelessly. The cable management is adequate. It accomplishes the task but you do see the cables when you set the monitor to match the height of the Apple Studio Display. Some reviews I read mentioned that the stock stand is a bit wobbly, that hasn't been my experience. It levels and adjusts relatively easily and isn't particularly wobbly although I do have a very stable 4 legged sit/stand setup so perhaps that contributes to the stability.The buttons in the chin work fine. They aren't as convenient as the puck that BenQ uses but once I had the monitor setup I am usually only using the shortcut to switch inputs. The KVM switches reliably although it does take a few seconds longer than the BenQ. It takes about 6-8 seconds. One quirk I found is that I have to switch my logitech keyboard and mouse to connect to my laptop via bluetooth and provide some input to the laptop if the laptop is closed. If I don't, the KVM's auto sensing doesn't detect the signal and just switches back over to the active input. Other than that one quirk everything works as expected.This is an excellent monitor at an amazing price for what you're getting. It has outstanding video quality and color accuracy. It's 5k so it scales with a mac perfectly. The build quality isn't as good as the Studio Display but it's on par with most other monitors. I am super impressed by this monitor and very happy with my purchase.

I've paired this 27" 5k Asus up with a Dell 27" Ultrasharp 1440p monitor. I had been pleased with the Dell because it gave truer colors than my prior monitor. The colors on the 5k are visibly richer and text is clearly sharper than on the 1440p monitor. A great upgrade so far.I have noticed a couple of nits:The monitor boots slowly when I wake up my MacBook M1 Pro. The Asus is always the last screen to light up.The VESA monitor mount was problematic for me. The 100mm square array of bolts is inside a deep inset. After I attached the VESA adapter plate from my 2 arm VESA desktop stand, the lip of the deep inset would not allow me to mount the monitor on the arm. This seems to be a problem with ASUS monitors, which they have solved in the past by including standoffs to raise the VESA adapter out of the recess. Sadly no standoffs were included as they have done for other monitors. I found a simple work around. I slipped the upper mount arm out of its socked, attached it to the VESA adapter plate. Next I screwed the mounted adapter plate onto the monitor. I was then able to slip the upper mount arm back into its socket with the monitor attached.

We are so very pleased with this product that we purchased 2 of them! We have a 2019 MacBook Pro and a 2020 MacBook Air and this monitor provides greater picture quality at a very affordable price. We had previously ordered the a Dell 32" curved monitor that did not provide the clarity of the ASUS and tried a 4K 32" Dell that had good sharpness, but it would randomly go black because of incompatibility with our older MacBooks (not even work on the Air model).The ASUS product looks great, has USB-C so we can now power and communicate with our Macs using a single cord, the sharpness and brightness of the picture is amazing, and the numerous features are incredible.We are so thankful for being able to purchase these on Amazon!
