While we mainly focus on consumer and gaming-related products from ASUS, the company also has a burgeoning professional range. Today we assess the latest monitor to join the ProArt series, in the form of the PA27JCV. This is a 27in IPS screen offering a pin-sharp 5K resolution, wide gamut support and Calman Verified colour accuracy, alongside an anti-glare coating that ASUS calls ‘LuxPixel AGLR’. Hitting the market at $799, with UK pricing still to be confirmed, we put this screen through its paces today.
