What reviewers say about the ASUS ProArt PA279CRV
Only one whitelisted tester was verifiable: PCWorld, which lab-tested this exact model (PA279CRV) and whose quotes and measured values were confirmed verbatim on a second check. RTINGS and TechRadar were excluded because their article bodies did not return copyable text. PCWorld praises class-leading color gamut and sub-$500 value but flags low brightness (366 nits), weak 930:1 contrast, and the worst color accuracy in its competitive test set.

Max brightness (SDR): 366 nits · Contrast ratio (measured): 930:1 · sRGB gamut coverage: 100% · DCI-P3 gamut coverage: 99% · AdobeRGB gamut coverage: 98% · Refresh rate: 60Hz
Asus strikes back in color gamut. The new PA279CRV spans 100 percent of sRGB, 99 percent of DCI-P3, and 98 AdobeRGB, which together provide the best result of any similarly priced monitor we've recently tested.
The ProArt PA279CRV stumbles out of the gate with a maximum brightness of 366 nits. That's behind the pack and less than its predecessor, the ProArt PA279CV.
Contrast isn't great, either, with a maximum measured contrast ratio of 930:1.
