If you are focused on digital photo editing, the Asus PA279CRV is better suited for this task due to its wider color gamut coverage, but it's not suitable for HDR video editing or HDR gaming. The Asus PA279CV, while also good for photo editing and general productivity, slightly lags in color performance compared to the CRV model. Both monitors offer good text quality and image clarity, making them suitable for everyday tasks and casual gaming, although neither is ideal for competitive gaming due to their limited refresh rates and higher response times, which could lead to ghosting. Choose the CRV for slightly better color accuracy in photo work, or the CV for a balance of productivity and some media consumption. Give Feedback

"Asus’ ProArt PA279CV is a sensible choice for content creators who want a color accurate 4K monitor but don’t want to clean out their savings account. It edges out alternatives like the BenQ PD2720U and Dell S2722QC in brightness and contrast without giving up ground on connectivity or menu options."
