Product Overview
Asus ProArt PA278CV is a premium 27-inch QHD professional monitor in Asus's 2020 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit IPS panel.
The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty. It also comes with build-in speakers that make media consumption in a pinch an effortless experience.
In terms of drawbacks, this monitor lacks HDR support. Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.

Reviewer score 49%ASUS PA278CV is a great monitor for mixed usage. Its 27 inch screen and 1440p resolution are great for all uses. It gets bright enough to fight glare in most lighting conditions. Unfortunately, the contrast is mediocre, producing blacks that look more like gray.
