Asus PA246Q
The Editors' Choice Award-winning Asus PA246Q is a professional-class monitor with a satisfying number of features at an affordable price.
There are three distinct reasons to be excited about the Asus PA246Q. One, it's the first monitor we've had the opportunity to calibrate using a new tool; two, it's the first 24-inch-plus monitor with a high-end P-IPS panel we've reviewed that costs less than $500.
Finally, the graphical overlay feature may be the most original monitor option I've encountered in more than three years of writing monitor reviews. Essentially, the feature places one of a number of different grid and photo size options on the screen, allowing for increased precision when tailoring graphics or printing photos.

What sets the PA246Q apart is its price-to-performance-and-features ratio. Rarely do you see a monitor of its size, performance, and feature set at such a relatively low starting price: $500.
