The second-generation 27-inch QHD ProArt monitor. Its 2560 × 1440 IPS panel refreshes at up to 120Hz with Adaptive-Sync, covers 100% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 in 10-bit colour with HDR10, and is factory-calibrated to ΔE < 2 and Calman Verified, with the calibration report in the box. An ambient light sensor, a four-port USB 3.2 hub and a stand with 130 mm height travel, swivel and pivot complete it.

PHOTO, VIDEO & DESIGN

Accurate Colour for Photo, Video and Design

100% sRGB covers web and social work and 95% DCI-P3 covers video and modern phone screens. ProArt Preset switches between sRGB, Adobe RGB, P3, Rec.709, DICOM, HDR and Native modes; the P3 options include 6500K, DCI-P3 and an M Model mode for matching Mac screens; and ProArt Palette adjusts gamma (1.8–2.6), colour temperature and RGB gain and offset.

WORK, CODE & SMOOTH PLAY

Portrait Coding, Two Sources and Smoother Motion

Pivot to portrait for code and long documents (DisplayWidget Center rotates the image automatically), show two sources at once with PIP/PBP, and plug keyboard, mouse and drives into the four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. At 120Hz with 48–120Hz Adaptive-Sync over DisplayPort, scrolling, timeline scrubbing and casual games look smoother than on a 60Hz screen.

Frequently Asked Questions & Store Policies

TECH SPECS Is this the PA278QV or the PA278QGV?
Both names refer to this monitor: ASUS sells it as the ProArt Display PA278QV Gen2, model number PA278QGV. It is a different product from the original PA278QV: the Gen2 runs at up to 120Hz, covers 95% DCI-P3 with HDR10, and has DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 and a four-port USB 3.2 hub.
TECH SPECS What do ΔE < 2 and Calman Verified mean?
ΔE measures how far a displayed colour is from its target; below 2 the difference is hard to see. ASUS calibrates the PA278QGV at the factory, puts the pre-calibration report in the box, and the model is Calman Verified, an independent check of that accuracy.
TECH SPECS How do I get 120Hz?
Use DisplayPort. ASUS lists a 48–120Hz range on DisplayPort 1.4 and 48–100Hz on HDMI, so a PC reaches the full 120Hz, with Adaptive-Sync, over the DisplayPort cable included in the box.
TECH SPECS Which colour mode should I use?
Use sRGB for web and social content, P3 for video and for matching modern phone screens (the M Model setting is tuned for consistency with Mac displays), Rec.709 for broadcast video, and HDR for HDR10 content. ProArt Preset switches between them in one step.
TECH SPECS How do I use the USB hub with a laptop?
Connect the included USB Type-B to Type-A cable from the monitor to your computer; the four USB-A ports then work as a hub. Video still goes over DisplayPort or HDMI: this monitor has no USB-C input.
