Many video editors, or multi-hat-wearing videographers and filmmakers, might opt to simply use whatever monitor they first start with. In many cases, that’s the laptop screen for their MacBook or iMac screen.
Still, as video editors advance, they often want more sophistication and control with their monitors. And while there’s a whole world of reference monitors for the highest-end of editors and color artists, and designers, there’s a sweet spot for high-performance monitors with rich color and high-dynamic range.
Today, let’s look at the ASUS ProArt Display PA27JCV 27" 5K HDR Monitor and explore if this might be one of the best options on the market.
The ASUS ProArt Display PA27JCV 27" 5K HDR Monitor
Designed for creative professionals of all types, the ASUS ProArt Display PA27JCV 27" 5K HDR Monitor can deliver a sharp UHD 5K 5120 x 2880 resolution with rich color and high-dynamic range. It also features expansive connectivity, a KVM, and other features that help to streamline your workflow.
The goal for the ASUS ProArt Display PA27JCV 27" 5K HDR Monitor is to provide photorealistic colors. It does this with a Calman verified 27" IPS panel that is factory calibrated for Delta E <2 accuracy, providing 10-bit, 1.07 billion colors with 99% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB coverage.
The monitor also features VESA DisplayHDR 500-certified high-dynamic range with a 3000:1 max contrast ratio that provides realistically bright highlights and deep shadows to videos and photos.
Presets and Light Sync Solutions
Notably, the ProArt Display PA27JCV also includes 10 presets that let you quickly switch between Native, sRGB, Adobe RGB, Rec. 2020, DCI-P3, Rec. 709, HDR, and DICOM color modes. Users can program up to two custom color profiles to fit their workflows quite easily.
The monitor also boasts built-in sensors to help you jump straight into your creative projects with bright, reliable color performance. Plus, a backlight sensor eliminates warmup time and brightens the screen on startup by detecting the backlight brightness color temperature to compensate for the deviation.
Additionally, the front-facing ambient light sensor synchronizes the display's color gamut to match your environment. Use the ASUS DisplayWidget Center app to fine-tune your screen's settings using a mouse instead of the monitor buttons.
