Asus ProArt PA348CGV review: An all-around ultrawide marvel

 

 

Content creators who play PC games face a tough decision when it comes to buying a monitor. Many of the best professional monitors look great in games but don't have high refresh rates or adaptive sync. Gaming monitors, on the other hand, offer great image quality but lack essential features for demanding creatives. The Asus ProArt PA34CGV fills this gap at an affordable price.

 

Asus ProArt PA348CGV: Specifications

The Asus proart PA348CGV's specs are typical for a 34-inch ultrawide monitor. A resolution of 3440 x 1440 is essentially standard for this monitor size, with only some LG 5K Ultrafine monitors having a higher resolution. IPS panels are also representative of this category.

Asus ProArt PA348CGV: Design 

The Asus ProArt PA348CGV is a professional monitor, so it has an understated design that isn't particularly conspicuous when viewed from the front, with a medium-sized matte black bezel framing the screen. Viewed from the rear, it's a little less attractive, but still unobtrusive, thanks to a series of heatsink-like fins.
