Thanks Jeff.
I am looking at the specs of the ProArt PA27AC and I can’t help notice the
“Factory precalibrated” claim? Meaning, in essence, that a user could simply
“select” some “gamut” and the panel chromaticities are controlled tight enough
at the factory that there is no need to measure the display? Like the iMac 27”
5K Retina I reported about yesterday? Is that what you are seeing?

We have a number of BenQ’s in my photo retouching company. We also use ASUS pro
level monitors. (I have zero connection to either company and my remarks have
no conflict of interest.)
We have had repeated quality issues with the BenQ’s. Inconsistencies across the
monitor being the main problem but there have been others. They are ok though.
If I am asked to recommend a good value high quality monitor I would have to go
with ASUS. They surprised me!
We have 20 or so (and about 6 BenQ’s) and they are remarkable in quality and
durability. We have both sRGB and Adobe RGB gamut models but I have never
tested their claims of gamut coverage.
We also have Eizo of course but I don’t see the reason to spend more on them
than ASUS except for bragging rights, honestly.
Very best,
Jeff Nova
