ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV 27" QHD IPS Professional Monitor - 2560x1440, 75Hz, USB-C 65W
The ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV is a 27-inch QHD monitor for colour work: 2560 × 1440 on an IPS panel covering 100% of sRGB and 100% of Rec. 709 at Delta E under 2, Calman Verified and supplied with its own factory colour calibration report. USB-C carries video and 65W of power delivery in one cable, and DisplayPort daisy-chaining lets a second screen run from the first. ASUS part 90LM06Q0-B01370.
Why this product
2560 × 1440 IPS at 100% sRGB and Rec. 709
A 27-inch QHD IPS panel at roughly 109 pixels per inch, covering the full sRGB and Rec. 709 gamuts at 350 cd/m² with 178° viewing angles.
Delta E under 2, with a calibration report
ASUS rates average colour accuracy below Delta E 2 and ships a colour pre-calibration report in the box. The display is Calman Verified.
USB-C with 65W power delivery
One cable carries the picture and charges the laptop at up to 65W — unlike most monitors' USB-C inputs, this one is a genuine docking connection.
DisplayPort daisy chain
Two DisplayPort 1.2 connections support daisy-chaining, so a second monitor can run from this one rather than from a second output on the computer.
ProArt colour controls
ProArt Preset, ProArt Palette and Chroma Tune, with six-axis colour adjustment and gamma selectable from 1.8 to 2.6.
Stand that does everything
Tilt, swivel, 90° pivot and 150mm of height adjustment, with QuickFit on-screen alignment guides for print and layout work.

- Two DisplayPort 1.2 connections supporting daisy chain, plus one HDMI input.
- Four-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A hub, and built-in 2W stereo speakers with a 3.5mm earphone jack.
- Mac compliant, TUV certified for low blue light and flicker-free operation, and supplied with a colour pre-calibration report.
- The HDMI input is version 1.4 — the lowest-bandwidth connection on this monitor. Use DisplayPort or USB-C for the full 1440p at 75Hz.
- ASUS lists a USB-C cable, HDMI cable, power cord, quick start guide, warranty card and colour pre-calibration report in the box. No DisplayPort cable is listed.
Best for
- Photo, design and layout work needing accurate sRGB and Rec. 709 rather than a wide but unmeasured gamut.
- Video editing to the Rec. 709 broadcast standard, which this panel covers fully.
- Laptop-based working: one USB-C cable for picture, data and 65W of charge.
- Two-screen desks, since DisplayPort daisy chain avoids needing two outputs on the machine.
- Long sessions, with TUV flicker-free and low blue light certification and a fully adjustable stand.
Trade-offs
- Gaming: this is a 75Hz panel rated at 5ms grey-to-grey. It is built for colour, not for frame rate.
- HDR work: ASUS lists no HDR tier for this model.
- DCI-P3 cinema or Adobe RGB print work: ASUS publishes sRGB and Rec. 709 coverage only, so this is not a wide-gamut display.
- Feeding it over HDMI: the HDMI port is 1.4. DisplayPort or USB-C is the right connection here.
The ProArt Display PA278CV is a 27-inch QHD monitor aimed at colour work rather than frame rate. The IPS panel runs 2560 × 1440 — roughly 109 pixels per inch — at 350 cd/m², covering 100% of sRGB and 100% of Rec. 709.
What separates a ProArt from an ordinary office screen is that the colour is measured: ASUS rates average accuracy below Delta E 2, the display is Calman Verified, and a colour pre-calibration report comes in the box with that specific unit. ProArt Preset, ProArt Palette and Chroma Tune give six-axis adjustment and gamma from 1.8 to 2.6, with QuickFit guides for laying out print work on screen.
The USB-C input is a real docking connection rather than video-only: DisplayPort Alt Mode plus 65W of power delivery, so a laptop runs and charges on one cable. Two DisplayPort 1.2 connections support daisy chaining, letting a second monitor run from this one, and there is a four-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub. The HDMI input is version 1.4 and is the lowest-bandwidth connection here — worth using DisplayPort or USB-C instead.
Unlike the ROG gaming models, this one has sound: 2W stereo speakers and a 3.5mm jack. The stand tilts, swivels, pivots through 90° and raises through 150mm, with VESA 100 × 100 mm mounting.
