Our Verdict
Dell U2723QE
ASUS ProArt Display PA279CRV
The Dell U2723QE and the ASUS ProArt Display PA279CRV are both 4k, 27-inch monitors aimed at content creators. They have many of the same features and similar performance, but they also have a few differences. The Dell uses a panel with IPS Black technology, resulting in a higher contrast than the ASUS and making it the better choice to edit content in a dark environment. On the other hand, the Dell has extra features, like a bigger USB hub and a KVM switch that makes it easy to multitask.
