Conclusion
This monitor makes a good choice for gamers, but not for anyone looking to edit photos with any degree of accuracy.
Despite a rather disappointing contrast ratio (which is a common problem for IPS displays), the Asus PA246Q is an excellent monitor. It combines a great design, accurate colour reproduction, wide viewing angles and a fast enough display for gaming. Better still, it sells at a very accessible price for a monitor aimed at professional users.
