Great picture quality, huge atriums

In the connection, application and price combination, there is hardly any other 24-inch model in the 16: 10 format suitable by their sRGB coverage and adaptability for graphic designers, but also for multimedia applications, games and for normal work. Therefore, the PA248Q was next to an NEC device my only alternative to Dell 2412M, with the 2412M is hardly suitable for an ambitious graphics editing. In fact, the PA248Q beats my opinion, the Dell device when it comes to image quality, color gamut, the functions and the stand - these things solves the Asus device perfectly - but with a big, really big minus point: the atriums. After my purchase (not Amazon) I exchanged two PA248Q. The first screen was struggling with huge and especially intensive atriums at the corners, which were clearly visible and totally unacceptable, even with white pages. The second PA248Q had about the same problem plus two extremely annoying red pixels. I have kept my third now, he has thick halos, but no dead pixels. After intense consideration, I've decided it but due to the otherwise very convincing qualities to use as a second screen.

An image of the halos of the first device, see above in the customer images.

Since I have discovered so far no copy with a good illumination, I start from a general Lichthofproblem. In black images and videos in full screen, they interfere even less sensitive users, which is why you should think twice about the purchase or exchange the PA248Q in doubt.

Among the areas of application: The comparable fast response time, the device is even for games and convinces with bold colors and high viewing angles. The same is true for normal office applications and watching movies, with the restriction that the halos are clearly visible in dark scenes. Thoroughbred graphic artists are mainly complain comparable to low adaptability of color modes, but it provides all common grid, which can be displayed by the housing key. Ultimately, he is thus suitable preferably for amateur graphic designer and can in this regard, for example not compete with the (twice as expensive) Eizo competitors.

Due to the good height and angle adjustment of the stand is the PA248Q combined with the good image quality, the connections and the comparatively low price really a panacea for ambitious but non-professional users. Even more upsetting are the halos Goofing an otherwise very good device a flawless appearance.
