OK, Not enough for full reviews but thoughts on recent purchases and product experiences.
ASUS PA27JCV
As I have mentioned I now use a MacBook as well as Windows. Absolutely love the display on the Apple Studio Display but too many limitations. Expensive.$400 for a height adjustable stand?? And then MAC only as no input or switching for HDMI or DP from my windows computer is available. Had to find an alternative.
Did my research and landed on an ASUS PA27JCV 27 inch 5K monitor. The display is not quite as good as the Apple Studio Display, but very close. Most reviews mention the amount of plastic, but not a huge concern for me. Relatively easy to switch between Mac and Windows when properly set up. All good. And better FOR ME than the Viewsonic or Kuycon and considerably less than the BENQ which I could not find to demo before purchase.
Interestingly when Windows was connected via DP, the resolution would change to 64×480 after the computer woke from sleep time outs. Yup, 640×480! From the 2560x 1440 it is set for. 100% repeatable. No issue with the HDMI input, but without going into details, DP is the preferred connection. If it worked.
The worst thing about this is that tech support at ASUS did not seem to care.
Many messages with empty promises and nothing ever done to even TRY to correct this. So if support for you purchases is high on your checklist, ASUS gets an extremely low rating from me. If there was another reasonably priced alternate with equal performance, I would have returned this. As it stands, I live with the limitation.
You’ll find occasional discounts. I did at BestBuy. Amazon has it for $50 after tariff pricing at the moment. Available at all my trusted vendors with exceptional customer service. See the TechnicallySpeaking tab for links and details there.
