Hi Dan. I don't see this as a true HDR monitor - 400 nits (official not our test which was lower) is not really HDR, I think we tried some images in HDR mode but I don't remember if we tried stills HDR (this is honestly not that common and not something we work with). If HDR is a prime concern to you you need to look elsewhere.
The colours on this monitor are very intense. Almost at oled levels. But it has a very big negative. It's slow. So if you work with static images it's all right but if is any kind of movement it's a real disaster.
I didn't see any special issues with moving images i.e. video - we used it for video editing. If you are talking about high fps gaming that is a different story and not what were testing for.
Hi, i recently purchased this monitor and had quite a significant gap between the monitor and the OSD panel strip.. i can literally see the internal plastic power button and the status light.. is it like that in your unit also.. Cant really find this monitor in any other place to verify it.. Thanks Again.
You test showed DCI-P3 of 80% despite their website saying 95%... do you think you got a bad model or should a colorist avoid this monitor? 80% DCI-P3 is very low for the price.
@@IddoGenuth No worries, I am weighing between the Asus ProArt PA329CV $600, ViewSonic ColorPro VP3256-4K $500, and the BenQ EW3280u $350 specifically for color grading and video editing. Do you have any recommendations between these or other monitors to consider?
@@Triflixfilms Difficult to answer. I personally have good experience with Benq monitors and we are going to buy one of their higher-end models soon but that doesn't necessarily reflect on these lower-end ones so I am not sure what to say. I am not sure what my feelings are towards this Asus model - I prefer our existing Benq over it (I don't have the model here it's in the studio but it is more expensive I belive).
@@maheshgvelly Oh so like a built-in KVM? No, I am not aware that this monitor has this (honestly I didn't even know monitors can come with this feature it is probably very rare).
Hello everyone, it is possible to calibrate via hardware, X-Rite i1 display and dedicated software example the one from X-RITE? ASUS software is not compatible with this monitor, that has been a bit disappointing. Thank you!
I am not sure I understand what you are asking. Do you mean if you can use a calibrator on this monitor? of course, you can, you can see us doing that in the video...
@@IddoGenuth Sorry, I expressed myself wrong, that's exactly what I was asking, is it possible to use an external calibrator with the monitor? And you have already confirmed it. Now I ask you, what software have you used to calibrate it? Thanks.
@@IddoGenuth The most media consumers use a glossy screen like a phone or TV. No reason for a media creator to use a matt display - it just widens the gap between what I see vs what others see.
@@IddoGenuth For me at least, it's easier to ignore some glares than the washed out color. More importantly, I want to see as close as possible what my consumers will see.
@@klaymoon1 I am sorry to say but that is a poor excuse. Professional image/video editors will want the best and most accurate monitor they can afford (and these are not typically glossy). This is very far from what the average consumer uses to view the content (which is in most cases a smartphone these days anyway or at best a TV). Glare is a huge problem and this is why most if not all graphics/video-oriented pro monitors are not glossy (I am also not aware of any degraded color). If you insist on a glossy one to see "what the average viewer sees" just go to best buy and get a cheap LCD, just do yourself a favor and don't use it as your main editing monitor.
Great review. Just a question, have you tested this monitor HDR feature on a photo?

I am not sure what you mean. The build quality on our sample was actually pretty decent I didn't notice any gaps.
Is it possible to calibrate any pre-set? Which pre set did you use in this video for calibration?
We did the actual changes of the contrast, RGB on the standard mode of the screen.
@@LensVidthanks! I have an I1 pro2 sensor and I will give it a try. It's a shame the i1 pro 2 is not supported by the new software.
I really thinking to buying it, i don't care what ppl says!

Hi, i only watching movies and stuff, do you recommend it to me? I own the tuf gaming UHD 4K 28 inch.
A little of an overkill for this I would say.
@@IddoGenuth So, I don't need it for what i do.
Does the monitor work well an old laptop i7-7700hq and 1050ti?
It should work with any computer with the right connections (HDMI/DP).
Does it only go up to 60hz?
I believe so. Nothing too special for a none gaming monitor.
Gamut coverage is so sub par!!
Does this have dual laptops control ?
What is dual laptop control?
@@IddoGenuth connecting two laptops to one monitor and still be able to use one keyboard and one mouse
@@maheshgvelly Oh so like a built-in KVM? No, I am not aware that this monitor has this (honestly I didn't even know monitors can come with this feature it is probably very rare).
@@IddoGenuth no not exactly two laptops one screen used in split screen mode
@@maheshgvelly I never heard of such a thing...

@@teselacomunicacion2866 we used the X-rite i1Profiler software of course.
Great review. PA329CV looks good, but I just wish it was a glossy screen.
Why glossy?

@@klaymoon1 I see no positive to glossy only negative - its reflective - who wants reflections on a work screen?

Horrible Luminance for photo editing.
M... I didn't find anything wrong with it honestly. You usually don't do more than 150 otherwise it starts hurting your eyes.
