The onscreen display is one of the best we have seen, to date. Everything is well laid out within submenus and there is no fighting with unresponsive capacitive buttons on the front of the panel either. The tactile feel ensures that moving around the various menu sections is both intuitive and straightforward.
Two of the buttons are used for ‘up' and ‘down' which makes the whole navigation system almost second nature within the space of a few seconds. We were surprised however to note that some of the settings were not available in Adobe RGB and Adobe sRGB modes. There is no way to select colour temperature, gamma or even saturation. Colour correction is also disabled. Therefore we enabled the ‘user mode' and fine tuned the screen to our liking. Not really ideal, especially as the adobe settings can often be ideal for specific environments.
Thankfully, for the most part, the Asus settings out of the box were incredibly accurate, negating the need for a plethora of fine tuning options in the panels, or via software settings. This is because the screen leaves the factory pre-calibrated with a certification printout in the box, much like the Dell U2410.
The PA246Q has a nifty option via onscreen quick fit style grids. By pushing one of the buttons on the panel the screen can display various grids with photo layouts overlaid over the image. We aren't sure a lot of people will use this, but it might be handy within a design bureau or graphics related environment.
