Asus PA246Q for editing

[Dave Osbun]

I picked up an HP 23″ IPS LED monitor directly from HP for $187. It’s not a high-end IPS monitor, but it’s probably the best bang-for-the-buck LED you’ll find.

I have 2 ASUS ProArt PA246Q’s and I love ’em. Extremely accurate color reproduction and you get the calibration report direct from the factory so you know exactly what you’re getting. Very impressive displays for the price.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for responding and John, that’s the monitor I’m leaning towards, the Asus PA246Q. I called B&H and talked to a sales rep who tried to talk me into buying a NEC monitor for around $800. As soon as B&H reopen from passover, I’ll probably order the Asus. John, I know you used a different case, I bought a corsair 650D which I love. I can’t wait to crank this puppy up.

Here’s my system:
Corsair 650D case
Corsair AX850 Power Supply
Asus P9X79 PRO Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core I7 3930K 3.2GHz
Cooling System: Corsair H100 liquid cooling

[Ralph Hajik] ” I called B&H and talked to a sales rep who tried to talk me into buying a NEC monitor for around $800.”

Other than being $300 more, did he say why the NEC was better? It could be a better monitor at that price. I was buying two and wanted to stay around $1000 so that’s why I selected $500 monitors. Obviously there are better monitors for more money, but not better monitors for the price. So the NEC could be better. I just love my PA246Q’s.

That looks like a killer system. The 650D looks like a nice case. I keep my tower on my desktop so having the controls on top is inconvenient for me but if you keep your tower on the floor that’s a nice design. Good luck with it.

Hi John,
I don’t know what his thinking was. I thinking that I can buy 2 Asus ProArt PA246Q monitors for the price of 1 NEC or even an EIZO monitor. If you and Thayalan are satisfied with the Asus monitors, then I’ll go with that and order 1 to start. According to the specs, it seems like a great monitor for the money.

You can’t go wrong with the PA246Q (or even 2 of them). I’m sure you’ll be very happy with it.
