Yesterday, as I'm sure you all know by now, I recommended a deal on a budget ASUS ProArt model ahead of Prime Day this week. It's a cheaper variant of the ProArt monitors you'll find in our guide to the best monitors for graphic artists, and I thought that was pretty good.
So imagine my surprise this morning when I looked up the official Prime Day deals and found that ASUS had done one better.
The ASUS ProArt PA278CV, now down to $199 from a sticker price of $299, is very similar to the PA278QV I covered in yesterday's deal video, but with a couple of important distinctions for creatives.
Both models are 27-inch QHD IPS panels, but the CV model has a verified 100% Rec. 709 colour coverage on top of its 100% sRGB coverage and has an independent Calman verification of its factory calibration, guaranteeing professional quality for creative use. So whether it's video, animation or photo-editing, this model should cover all your colour-coverage needs, at a fraction of the price a flagship ProArt monitor would cost you.
Yes, it's 'only' QHD resolution, but if you want a 4K option, that one is also discounted, at $349, down from $429.
