ASUS PA278QV: Premium DisplayPort Monitor with Anti Glare, Adjustable 2560X1440P Resolution, 75Hz Refresh Rate, Blue Light Filter, Built-In Speakers, and HDMI Support Review

[Update] 4 stays at 3. I would not recommend the monitor to anyone who wants to use DisplayPort with this monitor. Too many questions about this. It keeps the backlight on even when idle (I believe it still looks for input when it does). Upon waking up, it moves all windows/icons from the second monitor to this one, thinking for a split second it's the only monitor. Google this issue, several people reported it. The only workaround is to use HDMI. Which isn't so bad if it weren't for the…

I do a lot of fractal art and photo editing as a hobby and sometimes for sale. My old monitor was a few years old and was turning green and dark, so I went in search of a replacement. In the end I decided on two different models and after a couple of weeks arguing with myself I bought this model. I'm very happy with it so far. (I've had it for 3 days now) One of the things that drew me in about it is that it comes with color calibration for some of the settings from the factory, which was great

Customizable lighting settings for any productive mood, consistent and reliable. I like the adjustable arm, horizontal and vertical positioning, and large screen size. I've been using this monitor for about 2 years now and haven't had any problems. I am currently using two ASUS ProArt displays from my MacBook Pro (Retina 15" Mid 2015) with a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort configuration.

Received this as a replacement for an Eizo monitor almost two years old that had a pink tint around the edges of the screen. Eizo's customer service was unhelpful, charging nearly $700 for repairs, which of course aren't covered by the 5-year warranty. Terrible company, I will never deal with them again. Hello ASUS! I'm glad I found this monitor. My main uses are photo editing, light gaming (flight simulators) and general usage. I love it so far! Color accuracy was good from the start, but I…

I am a book and magazine designer and needed a Mac mini monitor which I just got to replace my iMac. I have a secondary display that I'm using, but its max resolution is 1920 x 1080, so I don't have a lot of screen real estate when running it. I have to say that I mostly work in InDesign and do almost no photo editing (generally all images are edited before they reach me) and I don't work with video except watch videos online and I'm not a gamer. Picture quality, colors, brightness are fine for

So far this monitor seems to be very good. Not the highest resolution but I didn't want 4k which makes text very small and hard to read on my Mac. The only thing I don't like is the "ruler" at the bottom of the screen. It's useless and out of place when the rest of the screen bezel is pretty thin.

Very impressed with this monitor. When the monitor is set to sRGB, my printer produces printouts with the same color saturation, hue, and brightness as the monitor screen. Convenient menu on the front. The stable stand can take any desired position. Comes with the necessary cables. Very happy with this purchase.

UPDATE 05-08-2021 First of all, I apologize that the original review was NOT concise, my fault. Second, I apologize to Asus for my mistake. I missed an important "feature" in their idiotic UI on this monitor. Holding down the menu button (the unlabeled button next to the power button) for five seconds will LOCK ALL buttons, including the power button, rendering them inoperable. I don't know why this is a feature. I only knew this from a cryptic message when I held down the power button stating…

In my (not so) days of using monitors, it's hard to say that I've come across a screen that not only offers such high contrast, color accuracy, and detail, but also high brightness to boot (with my phone). According to the light meter, the monitor is 70% brighter than my laptop screen at 300 nits. Be sure to try it). Most monitors in this price range compromise at least one of these points. And the best part is that it's also very good for casual gaming! Input lag and ghosting aren't as bad as…

I'm an artist and photographer, not a gamer, so my rating is for people like me. It is intended for those who spend hours of the day 18 inches away from our screen, spreading their imagination through their hands on a mouse and tablet in (hopefully) endless layers of colors, vectors and tints while doing what we do do. I've never been happier with a screen like this, paying up to $1000 for a 100RGB color gamut, and I'm picky. I will also say that the 60Hz screen and glitch-free technology keeps

I've had this monitor for a month now and I'm very happy with it. Setup was easy (just follow the instructions), all the cables you need to get started were included, and the default picture quality is excellent.

This is an excellent monitor. I see no flares, dead pixels and the colors look fantastic. I was happy with my 10 year old HP 2509m monitor and only upgraded because my employer gave me a homework grant so I could use it to upgrade my home office. So I don't really need a new monitor, but since I spend over 8 hours on it every day, I think I might as well upgrade it. I spent a little time researching the options and settled on two 27-inch QHD displays instead of one or two 32-inch 4K displays. I

This is a really good and flexible monitor, especially for the price. Extensive connectivity for maximum flexibility, including Mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, HDMI, dual-link DVI-D, audio in and earphone jack, plus four USB 3.0 ports! I hope the quality is good and lasts a long time.

This monitor works very well with my 2020 M1 Mac Mini running the latest OS 11.1 Big Sur. I use an HDMI > HDMI cable straight out of the box with the monitor. I've been using the monitor for a few weeks. There were two initial problems, but they seem to have leveled out: - When I first connected the cables, turned on the Mac, and then turned on the monitor, it didn't receive a signal from the Mac. but that seems to be an isolated case. I restarted and everything was fine. You may have to…

I liked the smaller, older TN computer monitors, which had good contrast at low brightness, making it easy to read black text on a white background. Before that I tried IPS monitors which were just cheap glossy TV panels, too much brightness and saturation, no contrast and terrible backlight flare covering half the screen. Computer monitors should be better than TVs. Also, if you go over 24 inches or so, 1080 will be too blurry up close. This is excellent, just what I was looking for. With the…

You can spend a lot of money for a quality monitor with accurate colors. Up to a thousand dollars. This thing is in the sweet spot of being both good and affordable. You get decent picture quality and still be able to pay your rent.

decent quality. Not for switching between different sources (computer) - to switch you have to press the buttons 8 times. It's really annoying. So if you're looking to connect more than one PC to your monitor, don't look anywhere else.

I recently purchased two of the following 27" 1440P IPS monitors to use in a 4 monitor array in which I already had two Acer K272HUL Dbmidpx L 27" IPS monitors. From Favorite to Least Favorite: 1) The Acer Nitro XV272U Pbmiiprzx 27" WQHD are my new favorite 1440p monitors as they offer the best picture quality of any monitor I've tested. I use them for me not a gamer, excellent text readability, minimal glare , nice sleek design, decent glare reduction with no blurring (see Dell device notes…

I bought it for work so I have more screen real estate for my windows. Now I'm waiting to replace my monitors at home with it. Bright, crisp, great color. Easy to set up. Height and swiveling of the very stable base are infinitely adjustable. I also like the convenient cable hole in the stand. Truly the best value for money. I can't wait to get another one!

The best monitor I've ever had. White is bright and not boring. I have a dual monitor setup and the second monitor is an Ultra HD monitor but the white looks off white on it and cannot compare to ASUS ProArt. I will buy more.
