ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV 27" 4K IPS Monitor
The ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV is a 27-inch 4K IPS monitor built for professional content creators who need accurate, consistent colour across photo editing, video production, and graphic design work. It arrives factory pre-calibrated to ΔE < 2 and covers 100% sRGB and 100% Rec. 709, so colours on screen reflect what will be reproduced in print and broadcast. A fully ergonomic stand, USB-C with 65W Power Delivery, and a built-in USB hub mean it can anchor a tidy, capable workstation with minimal cabling.
Why this product
Factory-calibrated colour accuracy
Each unit ships pre-calibrated to ΔE < 2, covering 100% sRGB and 100% Rec. 709. What you see on screen matches what your audience will see in print and on broadcast displays.
4K IPS panel with wide viewing angles
The 3840 × 2160 IPS panel delivers 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, so colour and tone remain consistent whether you are working directly in front or reviewing work from the side.
USB-C with 65W Power Delivery
A single USB-C cable can carry video, data, and up to 65W of charging current to a connected laptop, reducing desk clutter without requiring a separate power brick.
Full ergonomic adjustment
The stand tilts, swivels, pivots 90° into portrait orientation, and adjusts 130mm in height, supporting comfortable posture across long editing sessions.
Built-in USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub
Two downstream USB-A ports expand the connections available at the desk, useful for attaching input devices, card readers, or storage without reaching around to the back of a computer.
Eye Care for long working sessions
Flicker-free backlighting and a Low Blue Light mode reduce visual fatigue during extended periods of colour-critical work.

- Connects to any laptop or desktop with a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode; also charges the host device at up to 65W over the same cable.

- VESA 100 × 100mm pattern allows mounting on compatible third-party monitor arms and wall brackets.
- USB-C charging is limited to 65W; laptops with higher power requirements (e.g. large mobile workstations) will charge slowly or may not maintain battery level under heavy load.
- The refresh rate is 60Hz; it will work with any source that outputs 60Hz or below at 4K, but sources requiring higher refresh rates at this resolution are not supported.
- There is no built-in speaker — audio output requires external speakers or headphones connected to the source device.
Best for
- Photographers and retouchers who need factory-verified ΔE < 2 colour accuracy and full sRGB coverage to ensure prints match the screen.
- Video editors working in broadcast who rely on 100% Rec. 709 coverage and a 4K panel to review footage at full resolution.
- Laptop-based creatives who want a single USB-C cable to deliver 4K video, hub connectivity, and 65W charging in one connection.
- Designers who work long hours and benefit from a fully adjustable stand — including 90° pivot — alongside Flicker-free and Low Blue Light technology.
- Professionals mounting on a monitor arm, thanks to the included VESA 100 × 100mm compatibility.
Trade-offs
- Competitive gamers will find the 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time insufficient for fast-paced titles where higher refresh rates are a competitive advantage.
- Users requiring wide colour space beyond sRGB — such as DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB coverage — as those gamuts are not specified for this display.
- Workstations with high-wattage laptops may find 65W Power Delivery inadequate to charge the host device under sustained processing loads.
- Users who need audio from the monitor — there are no built-in speakers, so a separate audio solution is required.
