Our Verdict
ASUS ProArt Display PA279CRV
ASUS ProArt Display PA27JCV
The ASUS ProArt Display PA279CRV and the ASUS ProArt Display PA27JCV are both 27-inch editing monitors. The PA27JCV is the better option if you're working in a bright room, as it gets much brighter and has considerably better reflection handling. It also has better contrast and slightly sharper text. However, if you don't need these added capabilities the PA279CRV may be a better choice, as it offers otherwise similar performance at a far lower cost.
