I thought I would add some notes here since it's one of the only resources that comes up on the pa243. I have the pa242 and the 243 side by side at the moment:
- Both in presets and post calibration they appear very different to the human eye (and to the camera). Colorimetrically they measure similarly but a spectral measurement shows the difference. This is is likely due to the broader blue output of the GBR backlight on the 242. Considering this, I would not use them in setups where they are supposed to behave similarly for the same person. Comparing it to various devices that measure close to to d65 like phones and tablets, the wled 243 seems closer while the 242 appears yellow/green
- The Pa243 has the more traditional anti-glare that you might remember from displays of ole. This makes it less reflective, but also adds some graininess to the image which is visible over smooth tones like skies. This combined with the panel causes some screen door effect for those who are extra sensitive to that (particularly in blues and yellows)
- While neither has an A-TW polarizer (keep wishing), the 243 has a little less of 'ips glow'. The color shifts are also less severe compared to the pa242 that displays a bit of a pinched panel look on the edges
- I can only speak to this copy but the pa243 is more even with uniformity turned off
- I cannot find anything authoritative on panel bit depth being 8+2FRC/10Bit on either. They both support 10bit input.
It has a USB 3.0 Hub and overall is a lot more sleek with a thinner chassis and a slimmer, circular base and stand. There are less seams, the back of the display curves out on the section that contains the board. There is also more advanced PIP/multi computer with audio processing allowing aux/hdmi/displayport audio to be mixed out to an aux out in switching between sources (not much use in a photo studio, but thought I'd note).
Here is a tif file that shows the vertical banding, also, I must add that there is a ridiculous shift in color after waking up from sleep, I've not had a display in the last decade that shifts this much. It starts with the grayscale at a full green sepia.
