Asuss Proart PA279cv Monitor.

Report · Feb 03, 2023

I got the Asuss Proart PA279cv Monitor. The color and contrast range is great imo. My problem is that when im editing on it, and I switch light room from it to another monitor, or upload the photo to facebook, the photo is about two stops too bright even though it looks great on the monitor. I know all monitors are not equal, but I feel that I should at least be putting out product that matches most viewing devices like Iphones etc. M questions is I know there is a standard, but should i be looking for a work around instead?

I have my color profile set to sRGB IEC30633-2.1

Any help on this would be apprecited.

Where is that sRGB profile set?

In the Displays settings for Windows or macOS?
When exporting from Lightroom?
In the ProArt Preset color mode of the Asus ProArt PA279cv? (Like some higher end displays, that model has switchable color gamuts in hardware.)

Or a combination of the above?

If the ProArt Preset color mode is not set to sRGB, which color mode is it set to?

Thanks for the reply.

Profile set here in windows

Its also set to monitor 3 (probably not needed)

Lightroom shows it darker on the Asus monitor, Exprot does as well.

Not sure what your asking here. I can find gamma and if i brighten it it looks like it puts the monitior closer to the ipad and other monitors. Can you elaborate?

It is set so srgb.

Correction, I can adjust gamma in standard mode, Not Srgb mode.

Thanks, so that’s the first thing checked.

For this second question, I was wondering about the color space option when exporting, as in here:

I was wondering about which of the nine ProArt Preset Modes is selected, as discussed on page 3-2 of the PA279 User Guide that I found on the Asus web site. Is this what you meant in your last line, being set to sRGB?

In a color-managed system, gamma on the display or graphics card should not be set manually, except during the process of creating a profile or calibrating. Otherwise it will be a manual override outside color management, which could cause unexpected results.
