The Asus ProArt Series PA246Q arrives in a big box with vector style images on the side, highlighting the rotational capabilities.
Inside, the screen is protected between two thick blocks of styrofoam, ensuring no damage can occur during shipping.
The bundle includes a VGA cable, DisplayPort cable, USB cable, quick start guide, power cable, support CD and warranty card. There should also be a DVI cable included as far as we can tell, but it looks like a previous reviewer felt they needed to keep a spare. Asus also include a colour analysis chart detailing factory results.
We were surprised to see that the screen comes pre assembled, with the stand already attached.
The PA246Q is certainly not a slimline model and it appears that Asus have opted for a chunky, almost ‘industrial' style appearance for this particular design. It does however feel really strong, especially the stand mechanism. The adoption of IPS technology with subsequent internal electronics upgrades can demand the use of a thicker chassis.
Along the upper and lower bezel is information, highlighting the resolution capabilities and HDMI support. We aren't sure the ‘sporty' red stripe will prove popular with everyone, but it certainly stands out.
Good ‘old fashioned' buttons on this screen, none of that capacitive nonsense. There is a row of seven buttons which allow for a plethora of fine tuning options, thankfully Asus have had the common sense to space them far apart to ensure that people with big fingers won't be accidentally pressing the wrong button.
