Our take on the ASUS ProArt Display 27“ 1440P Professional Monitor (PA278CFRV)

The ASUS ProArt PA278CFRV is a 27-inch QHD (2560x1440) IPS monitor aimed at designers, photographers and video editors. It comes factory-calibrated and Calman Verified, covers 95% of DCI-P3, and uses a LuxPixel anti-glare, low-reflection coating. USB-C with 96W power delivery and DisplayPort daisy-chaining let it drive a laptop and a second screen from one cable. Its 100Hz refresh is smoother than the 60Hz most color-accurate rivals offer, though at 5 ms it is not a gaming panel and HDR400 is entry-level HDR.

Questions and answers

Is this monitor good for photo and video editing?

Yes. It is factory-calibrated, Calman Verified and covers 95% of DCI-P3, which is the color space most photo and video work targets.

Can I connect a laptop with one cable?

Yes. USB-C carries the display signal and delivers up to 96W to charge the laptop, so a single cable handles both.

Can I daisy-chain a second monitor?

Yes. DisplayPort out lets you chain a second display, which keeps a two-screen desk tidy.

Is it good for gaming?

It is usable for casual games thanks to the 100Hz refresh, but the 5 ms response and lack of gaming features make it a work monitor first.

Does it have speakers or a webcam?

No. There are no built-in speakers or camera, so plan on a headset and a separate webcam for calls.

Can I mount it on an arm?

Yes. It has a VESA mount, and the included stand also offers height, tilt, swivel and 90° pivot adjustment.
