This is no run-of-the-mill monitor. The ProArt PA27JCV is a high-end and high-quality screen designed for those who need extra quality on a daily basis.
The first words that came to mind when bringing up some apps and imagery were “snappy” and “crisp”. The display was sharp across all of the screen elements, even smaller icons, and towards the edges of the screen. The contrast of everything was much higher than we’re accustomed to. The white canvas in any paint program was almost searingly white – perhaps too white for regular use, but it’s nice to see the monitor is capable of such brightness. And at the other end of the spectrum, things got a bit too dark; it felt like the blacks and gamma were biased slightly too far towards the darker tones. Even so, this screen is already well-balanced for an accurate display of tones, colours and gamma out of the box.
