ASUSProArt Display PA278QV 27” WQHD (2560 x 1440) Monitor, 100% sRGB/Rec. 709 ΔE < 2, IPS, DisplayPort HDMI DVI-D Mini DP, Calman Verified, Anti-glare, Tilt Pivot Swivel Height Adjustable, Black

A review from over a year of owning this: I got this to do art and occasionally play games. Refresh rate is great, especially when gaming or editing 60fps videos. Screen is the perfect size for my desk and I love that I can extend it and use it when I’m standing. Color is excellent and I appreciate the ability to check real life dimensions from within the screen. I have no dead pixels and I’ve been using it for over a year with no issue. While the brightness is adjustable and can go pretty high, there’s a bit of screen burn-in (that fades given time) which is to be expected. I generally keep to the default sRGB and lower brightness to avoid this because it can mess with color appearances which isn’t ideal for art. The only major downside of this is that the speakers are really poor quality. I got some cheap, 20+ year old external speakers to plug in because it really was that bad and the cheap external speakers are significantly better. If you are editing videos with audio or like to listen to music while you work, you’ll need headphones or speakers. I’d almost rather this monitor didn’t come with built in speakers as it feels like such a waste for something so poor quality. But I suppose if you just need something to hear alerts or notification sounds, it could be just what you need.Overall, I’m a very happy digital artist with this monitor!

I purchased this for a Mac mini M2 I had just purchased, based on it appearing on several reviews that listed this monitor as existing in the sweet spot between affordability and quality. Of course, I'm sure it's not as sharp or takes as full advantage of the mini's picture quality like Apple's recommended Mac Studio Display, but the Mac Studio's $1599 price tag would've made irrelevant the reason I bought the Mac mini in the first place vs. an iMac, which was my previous computer of choice since 2009. So accepting that, I am very satisfied with this monitor. However, having only owned all-in-one packages like the iMac in the past, it was a bit of a learning curve in adapting to a separate computer monitor.I'm still playing with the picture quality/resolution, brightness and blue light levels to find the right balance—I will say that the monitor is certainly plenty bright. I keep brightness nearly at the lowest level! The adjustment in height and tilt (let alone vertical rotation) are terrific features.I also purchased this for the additional USB ports, so it acts as a USB hub too for peripherals. Note that in order for the USB hubs to work, you have to plug the USB 3.0 square connector cable into the monitor and the regular USB connector on the other end into the mini! At first I thought it was just an additional cable as an alternative to the HDMI cable (also provided!), but it turns out that this cable is what powers the USB hubs/ports on the monitor, so be sure to use and connect it! The paper instructions are all visual, no words, so it wasn't clear to me that this cable was essential, but after about 10 minutes of fiddling and googling to see why the ports might not be working, I figured it out. Hopefully, this observation will save some people a bit of grief lol. Fortunately, my existing hub for my peripherals (scanner, external drives) worked fine, but it's nice having these additional ports to charge/connect my iPhone and other occasional peripherals I use. It's saved me for now from having to buy a USB hub I was contemplating for the mini to give me more ports.I should add that I read that connecting the mini purely via HDMI didn't take full advantage of the mini's graphics card, so in advance of the delivery of both the mini and the monitor, I purchased a USB C to HDMI adaptor.The only "drawback" (which is not on ASUS, more on the user if you opt for the Mac mini) is that it doesn't have a built in video camera. Who knew that I'd need one so soon after purchasing the new system lol? So I have just purchased a cheap one off Amazon that should solve that problem.Anyway, very pleased with this product.

In my (not-so-extensive) days of using monitors, it's hard to say I have come across a screen that is capable of not only such high levels of contrast, color accuracy and detail, but is also high brightness to boot (using my phone's lux meter, it says the monitor is 70% brighter than my 300-nit laptop screen, definitely need to verify this). Most monitors at this price range compromise at least one of these items.And best part is, even for casual gaming, it pretty great too! Input lag and ghosting aren't nearly as bad as you would expect on a non-gaming monitor, and it even compares very favourably with my laptop's 1ms 120Hz display. And then there's the stand; perfectly solid-feeling and fully adjustable with minimal effort. Rubber feet are sturdy and hold the display firmly in place, and single-handed adjustment is certainly an option as well.One thing to note is, out of the box the display will run in sRGB mode, meaning you won't have control of most of the aspects of the display immediately. You will need to switch to Rec.709 mode to gain access to the full features.The strongest suit where I foresee myself gaining the most from this monitor is productivity. It's an absolute productivity beast, the canvas is large and beautiful, and designers and developers alike will definitely appreciate the added real estate. Granted, it could certainly have done even better with 4K, but then again, it would be nowhere near this price point, now would it?Overall, I give this monitor my highest recommendation. At this price it is definitely gathering more competition, however this combination of quality of material and display output that one would come to expect from the ASUS ProART brand, I'd say this is the most solid value point in their entire lineup, and you should definitely consider picking one up for yourself!

Have been using the monitor for the last 3 days. The overall experience has been very good so far. Its bright and crisp. The BlueLight blocker works pretty well. The image quality is stunning. Very easy to set up. I just unboxed it and within 10 minutes it was up and running. Very good monitor if anyone is into image editing, photography editing and specially video editing. The only thing that could be a little better is the internal speaker. Overall it is a value for money laptop. Must have for photographers who use photoshop and use either Windows/ mac.I did not rate the monitor for gaming as I did not play games on it. However. since it boasts a 75Hz refresh rate, I am sure games will be running smooth as well.
