Is this a reliable monitor for photography?

I have had my two for over a year with no issues. Gaming, Video Editing and photography are my main uses and it hold up pretty well. AOC did a good job on this monitor.

I have been pleased with this monitor. I use it for Indesign and Photoshop. I can pretty easily match the monitor color to my output device for consistent pleasing color. I have had this monitor about 8 months and use it in a dual monitor set up in Windows 8.1.

I do not have the 27inch model but use the 21 inch for all my photography as well as AutoCAD and Solidwork design work and can say it is a great monitor and I would buy again. I have the monitor color profiled with X-rite iPhoto2 pro software (easy to do software makes all the adjustments for you) for all my photography work and find the color and contrast to be excellent.

I have used it for gaming a little bit (mainly playing Elder Scrolls IV) and have had no issues. Compared to a TN panel this IPS monitor looks very nice.

I am very happy with the ASUS PA249Q 24" Screen. I suggest you go to Shutterbug magazine and read a review by David B Brooks in the December 2013 issue. Mr. Brooks is one of best on reviewing photo equipment in my opinion.

David, you should keep an eye on nikonrumors [dot] comThey monitor all of the word on the street. Current consensus is that there is not going to be a refresh for the D700 this year.I have owned one for a year and a half, and am absolutely thrilled with it. I will keep it for a very long time. The overall sensor performance (low-light, etc.) is still one of the best in the world. see dxomark [dot] com

Yes it is, it has been by far the best monitor I have purchased. I recommend it for anything!

Hi, Jeff,It's great for laptop too but be sure you have a true thunderbolt connection, not the port that looks like it but is actually for an external monitor. The G-Drive videos on their site show a lot of uses from top photojournalists. It's the reason I bought it...advice from Alex Buono and others in a workshop. Good luck! Nadia

I bought 2 of these monitors a week ago and I'm blown away by the quality of the picture compared to the other 5 AOC monitors in my studio. I have had no problems thus far but will repost in a few weeks after I've put them to the test.

I wouldn't recommend this monitor. It's staticky and when power in house goes out it doesn't come back on, on its own. It starts beeping. My other camera monitor doesn't do that.

I use it regularly. It does support most frame rates as I have used it for all. It doesn't. come with batteries but they were inexpensive to buy.The.construction is a little flimsy and all plastic. The monitor resolution is okay, not the best. For the money, not bad. Obviously, if you want to spend $750 and up on a mini HD monitor, you will get quality. I use it for run n gun shooting. The peaking function works well.

it's acceptable, but i have mine setup with hdmi, mainly for gaming. you can't go wrong with this monitor no matter what you use it for, especially the price.

worked fine for me ,,, be sure you have power to both moniter and camera ,, ALSO please note the color quality is horrid , no green at all black and white would be better , , thay sent me another camera , same problem ,, ,, If power OK try video cable to monitor could be low signal strenth.

Hello! I am a graphic designer and I did a TON of research on which monitor is best for color accuracy etc. This is a great monitor. I would use this and another cheaper monitor I got from costco. The viewsonic would show contrast that the other was not capable of. (ie. subtle patterns and lighter colors). I did not calibrate it with any type of device, but I can say the colors were great, extremely crisp and clear. As a graphic designer, and somewhat obsessive about technology, I was very satisfied with my purchase. Mainly I did UI design for iphones on this monitor which require accurate color representation. Hope this helped. Hello! I am a graphic designer and I did a TON of research on which monitor is best for color accuracy etc. This is a great monitor.

The stand is pretty thick plastic, and I don't see it breaking without some serious knocks to it. If you are worried, I would consider looking at HP's line of monitors that mimic Apple's displays with the solid metal bases. That said, I am a photographer that does on-location shooting, and while I have yet to bring this monitor with me, I have no doubts that it will do just fine!

Yeah I dont have any problems with my display, but make sure your camera is decent and adjust to the light so the image looks good. Camera quality makes a difference.

The quality is very good coming from a IPS monitor myself I can say this monitor is very good in picture quality. One of the best monitors I have ever owned.

See my review and experience. You may get a good one, or you may get a bad one that craps out (board) within the first month. I would strongly urge you to look elsewhere and spend a couple hundred more on something with 1) more support and 2) better quality. It is a nice monitor when it works though. Keyword: WHEN it works.
