 hello everyone this is amitdan of amitdan.com if this is your first time here or if you're a repeat visitor thank you for your support on this channel i'm always trying different and new ideas if that is something you're interested in visit for more if you're only interested in review videos there'll be links in the description box below today i'll be opening an unboxing asus pro art 27 inch monitor so the model number for this monitor is pa 27 8 qv so this is the 27 inch monitor and you can see some of the specs right here uh one of them is that this is very color accurate and it has already you know color preset so you don't have to do anything and this monitor you know rotates swivels tails and so this is going to be very good for work for from home or you know if you're a content creator and this will give you a better color accuracy than most other monitors because this is especially made for you know content creation or you know people who are doing uh video editing so i'll just unbox the monitor and we'll take a look at it what we have inside and then you know i'll show you how the monitor looks on my workstation and then i'll show you how the monitor looks when i set up and everything so this is a quick look of how my workstation looks right now and the monitor you're looking at is actually a 21.5 inch so this is not that big so once i replace it with the new monitor i'm going to you know show you the workstation again and definitely it's gonna look much bigger uh after the monitor replacement so let's go to start unboxing and then i'll show you what comes with the monitor after the unboxing this is what you get with the monitor so we have hdmi cable mini port cable power card and then we have the base so the base actually it's a little bit heavy and looks like it's kind of made of metal and on the other side of the base it looks like this so i'll just put it here and here they provided some brochure so this is just a vip member notice or it's just like in some sort of membership and then we have the color calibration testing report so basically the color calibration is already done for you and it has all the results right here so i'll just leave it aside here but if you want to take a look at it you can pause it and look at it later and then they provided a nice envelope and inside that here there is the another calmen verified certification so basically it just tells that you know the monitor is calmen verified and calibrated for creative perfection so it's just calibrated and verified and everything all done and there's nothing on this side and here there's just a small manual just to you know help with the setting up for the first time and let's open it up and it looks like this inside but whenever i have something i try not to read the manual as much as possible so i'm going to just put it here and here you can see the monitor uh sorry you're looking at my reflection also because of the light so the monitor is 27 inch and then some buttons are all in here this is the power button and some of the other buttons and that one thing which is exceptional is that the ruler so you have right a fixed ruler right here and i know that you know inside the monitor you have the option to set up a ruler on other sites as well but this is kind of like you know physical ruler we have which would be very good for video editing and other like you know photo editing or other works which would require a ruler and then we have some of the specs right here which we looked at it before the one thing i can see here that you know actually this is energy star qualified which i didn't know before so that's a good thing it's going to you know save on it's going to save on energy and then let's take a look at the back of the monitor so you're going to take a look at the ports of this monitor and you can see that you know this monitor comes with lots of ports so the first one we have dvi i'm not sure why even they provided dvr i don't think anyone uses these anymore and then we have hdmi port this is to connect your monitor and then we have a display port in and we have a mini display port in so these are two actually display port compatible and then then the next one we have is the line out which is right here and then we have earphone jack and then we have usb upstream port this is 3.0 and then we have usb downstream port and then there are two more usb port which we have right here and here you have the power button and here you have the power input so in terms of you know ports it looks like they provided a lot of option so you don't have to like you know run through too many ports or probably a fewer adapters and converters so that's a very good thing let's set this up and then i'll show you the rest of my video once i finish setting up the monitor and we'll go over the color and everything i don't have any problems setting up the monitor and making it you know operational so what i noticed that the hdmi cable is provided with this monitor somehow it didn't work with this monitor so at first i thought that you know there's something wrong with the monitor but then i switched my hdmi cable from my old monitor then it started working and everything seemed to be okay so what i can tell you about this monitor that you know if you look at outside that the monitor actually doesn't look high end it kind of just look in a plastic or has the you know it doesn't have that high end feeling so it kind of feels cheap and if you can look at the if you look at the body and everything it's kind of you know matte finishing but somehow you know it looks very plasticky and not like you know high end product although this is an expensive monitor so i'll just go over briefly about the menus and settings so here you're going to see some of the buttons which you'd require to turn on the monitor and set up the monitor these buttons are too small and i wish they had you know made these buttons bigger and better because they also you know these buttons don't look good as well so this is the power button and then you press any one of these buttons then you're going to get the quick menu or start guide and then here you can choose like you know you can choose what you want to have on this menu for example might the last two options are user mode one and user mode two but you can choose or have it something else and then once you click here you can actually click any one of these and then you're going to get the same shortcut and then you have to just like you know press on the menu which is going to be actually right here so you can match the icon here and here so if you press it then you're going to get the option which is going to be right here so for example you can see that there are some settings which pro art preset and then if you just you know scroll down you're going to get more options like you know blue light filter and the brightness and sharpness and volume and everything now once you click on the pro art setting so if you just you know click on it then you're going to get some options here and by default asus provided some of the options right here for example you can see that you know there's the standard mode which is right here then s rgb and then rec 709 so there are lots of modes here and some of these modes actually cannot lower the brightness which you know is factory set you can change some other options but not some of the for example brightness or color so for example standard mode or sorry the rgb mode doesn't give you that option to change the brightness because if you go here and click on it then you're going to see that you know there's no brightness mode here but you can sit some options on the other modes so what I did I just you know went to use the option one and two and then I just you know chose these to make everything to my own preferences and that's what I have been using so something else you can see here that there is the blue light filter but it doesn't work with all options some of the options have preset filter and then here here is the image option and then here is the volume option the volume is the sound speaker attached to this monitor is okay it's not that high quality but you know it's not expected anyway and then here you can you know choose your cable setting and then here you have some other settings USB charging key lock language and everything and then here you can change the shortcut button to choose what you want so basically these are the main options now what I'm going to do I'm going to just show you some pictures to give you an idea of how the color is the color is very good I like it I just don't like the body it looks kind of cheap or plasticky so let me just show you some color some pictures to show you what kind of color you can expect so I'm going to just you know go to some of the pictures I chose and you can see that you know the color is really vivid and very nice color rendering so for example let's move on to the next one here you there's a little bit of reflection which you may not be able to you know see the perfect color because of the light reflection but you know the color is really good I cannot complain about that here's another picture and another picture let me just try to adjust okay so it looks like it works this way a little bit better so I'm going to just show you you know those pictures again to give you an example of the color so for example if you take a look at the color here and then here's another one and here's another one and here's another one here's one so definitely the color you're going to see through the camera and your own monitor is not going to be a perfect match what you know you're going to see personally but definitely this you know monitor is very good at color rendering and everything so there's no complaint about that so I just have a complaint about you know these buttons and the overall looks of the monitor it looks it doesn't look like you know high-end monitor so here is what you're looking at and here is from the back of the monitor my hundred $25 HP monitor which looked much better and more expensive but somehow this is a 400 plus monitor it doesn't look that good when you're just looking at like an outside the monitor or the body of the monitor I'm not talking about picture quality so definitely there's no complaint about the picture quality and video editing and everything so this is a very good you know monitor for video editing or content creation because you have lots of space and you get very excellent color rendering so you don't have to worry about like you know the color looks bad or anything and let me just show you a couple of more features so this one actually has some some options for example you can have a ruler on the sides if you turn it on so let's do that and so right now you can see that you know there's a ruler right here on the edge which is going to be right here and then you can also see that there's a ruler right here so you can have the ruler if you want you can actually choose paper size on your screen so for example is it has A4 and B5 so if you click on A4 then you're going to see a paper size right here which you can match if you're trying to print something so you're not like you know doing it and guesswork for example if you look very carefully then you're going to see the you know paper size right here and you can change it to the next size which is B5 so you can see that you know there's the B5 paper size so that's another feature it has so some of these features it offers like these are unique and I haven't seen I don't think I've seen this in you know anywhere else so definitely if you need those it's going to come in handy that type of features so overall I'm happy with the purchase this was purchased with my own money there's no affiliated links no nothing so that way you get totally honest and unbiased opinion thank you for watching this video there will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly thank you
