Very good video, as always. I particularly agree with the Benq SW240. Great price for an Adobe RGB compliant monitor. I know people think they can't do artwork or photo editing at 1080p or 1200p, but that's really a lie or exaggeration. I work with an Eizo ColorEdge CS (IMO Eizo is the best brand by very far) which resolution is only 1200p. It is amazing for color accuracy (but a tad too bright, can be unhealthy so bright; I made my trick to have it calibrated at a very low brightness; doesn't let you by default). Now, those doing video or animation, I'd understand them wanting something with a faster refresh and more resolution. Eizo's higher res ones would be too expensive (my Eizo costed around 700 bucks, first hand in Amazon). In that case I'd definitely go for a Benq (they have several good models) at 27 inches or so, having higher native resolution and better refresh (better for video work). Of course, ideally one of the models having full Adobe RGB (or like 96% or so) and/or P3 full support. I... am not that sure about Asus Pro Art. Have read not so nice stuff of some models tested. The ones I've not seen many reviews about are the Acer ConceptD ones. On paper and specs, they seem to be very professional.

For those painting.... The digital painting display- tablets offer " _fair_ "quality. In the case of Huion and Xp_pen display-tablets, well, they're kind of OKish BUT if you calibrate the screen with a colorimeter. If not, certain color stuff will be certainly off. The Cintiqs come better calibrated by default (altho imo any screen should be color calibrated, ideally with a colorimeter; even a Cintiq). But the non-cracy price ones, the non-pro Cintiqs, only support sRGB color space. While several huion's nd XP-Pen's display-tablets do support a much wider range of colors.
All I'm saying is that, if being aware of the above, for artists there's no need for a "good enough" monitor for art if already have a display-tablet (if you calibrated it).

Man that voiceover was a bit scrunchy...
