Professional reviewers consistently commend the PA248QV for its out-of-the-box color fidelity, thanks to Calman verification and full sRGB/Rec.709 coverage, and for the practical ProArt software suite that streamlines calibration. They also appreciate the 75 Hz Adaptive-Sync panel and the generous connectivity, especially the built-in USB hub. Criticisms focus on the modest 1920 × 1200 resolution, limited brightness, and the absence of advanced ergonomics or HDR support, which keep the monitor positioned as a budget-oriented creative tool rather than a high-end workstation.
Everyday users praise the monitor's accurate colors, eye-care features, and the convenience of multiple ports, noting it delivers professional-grade performance at a reasonable price. Common concerns revolve around the non-4K resolution, which some feel reduces sharpness, and the lack of clear ergonomic adjustments, leading a few to wish for more height or tilt options.
Professional reviewers praise the VA1655 for its compact size, matte anti-glare display, and versatile connectivity, noting that its 244-nit brightness and minimal color shift are adequate for office work and light gaming. However, they point out brightness uniformity issues off-center, basic color gamut, and an unintuitive menu, suggesting it excels in productivity but falls short for creative professionals.
Everyday users consistently highlight the monitor's portability, easy setup, and usefulness for extending workspace while traveling. The matte screen and plug-and-play connectivity receive strong praise, while the low-power speakers and limited brightness in bright settings are the most common minor complaints.
