ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV Monitor Review - Only for Media Creators?

Күн бұрын

The ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV is a great overall monitor. This is the 2021 update to the ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV, and while it performs largely the same, it comes with a few extra features that its predecessor lacks, like a USB-C port. Like other monitors in the ProArt series, it's designed for content creators and media professionals, so it has perfect coverage of the sRGB color space and good Adobe RGB coverage. It's also versatile, with a large screen and 1440p resolution that's well-suited to productivity, gaming, or multimedia.

Thank you for this video. Currently looking at this for the Mac mini that I just purchased today.

Thanks for the detailed review. I chose the PA278QV and am very happy with the text sharpness for typical office applications. The Gigabyte M27Q is of course better for gaming, but I'm still more convinced by the PA278QV. It could only be a bit less reflective. The only problem is the HDMI 1.4 connector; I guess correctly that even with the help of an HDMI 2.0 EDID adapter I can't enter a 4k 60fps singal to get a downsampled image in 1440p?

"I can't enter a 4k 60fps singal to get a downsampled image in 1440p" - What do you mean by that? Isn't your computer supposed to provide proper scaling? 1440p monitor is not going to benefit from 4K "signal". Am I missing something here?

What was Asus thinking having the LED lamp right at the front? Otherwise great monitor it seems, especially with the viewing angles. It astonishes me how bad the viewing angles on IPS Displays are even if they cost two or three times of what the ProArt costs. The only thing I do wish it has here would be 240 Hz. It's always talked like Hz are for gaming but they are great overall. I do take the lower Hz though for actually having a good calibration AND better viewing angles then all the gaming monitors though.

When you say the variable refresh rate sync works via displayport, does this include the displayport spec of the USB-C connection or will it need to be hooked up via DP separately? I want to avoid as much cable clutter as possible, but I still care about variable refresh.

Hi Jenny, yes it will work with DP alt mode as well. You're good to go!

Ive watched the video and read the review article on your website. Now I’ve bought this monitor because its says in the article that this monitor has a 94 score on the Color Accuracy (Pre-Calibration) and that was important for me. But here you give It 85 score. What is the correct score?

@RTINGSdotcom 2 жыл бұрын

Hey giovani, We've updated our methodology since the video has been published so the scores in our review are the most up to date. Ultimately though, they should represent the same thing. If you want to learn more about the changes, feel free to check out our changelog. www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/changelogs/1-2 As always, let us know if it's unclear or if you have any specific questions or concerns!

@@RTINGSdotcom Thank you for the clear up. To follow up. I got the PA278CV yesterday and Im very glad I went with the information you provided. It was between this one and Gigabyte M27Q. But I don't have a calibration tool so I went with the Asus. Ive exported a couple of my artwork sitting in sRGB mode and for the first time in a very long time they almost look the same as what Im seeing on the computer screen on my phones and tablets. Ive also tried to load up your profile (I know Its not optimal) juts for fun. And to my surprise your profile on standard with a brightness of around 11-15 is almost identical to the monitors sRGB mode to the eye, thats just awesome. Thank you very much.

@@giovani78 Have you tried gigabyte? I have to make the same choice, but I do like faster refresh rate of gigabyte, not for gaming but generally everythings feels nicer, although I can live without it if asus has way better colors.. but gigabyte has way more Adobe RGB so thats also something..

HI I bought the PA278CV to use with my MacBook M1. It charges when plugged in via USB Type-C but it does not detect it as a display. HDMI connects fine. I'm using the standard type-c cable that came with my MacBook. Did you test this with any apple products? Any ideas how to fix this?

@RTINGSdotcom Жыл бұрын

Hi Will! We always test on MacBooks using USB0-C if it has the port. In this case, you're likely having issues because your cable is just a charging cable, not a "proper" usb-c cable. You'll need one that can do dp alt mode/data/power delivery. Hope this helps!

I bought the Gigabyte m27Q because it has a more accurate panel and way faster screen. Just can't be rotated freely which is kinda cool I guess. Just seemed like a better monitor than this.

@robob221 Жыл бұрын

@@LovroSabljak its great. Simple and effective monitor. Colors are true to life stock, which is nice since everyone hates calibrating. The light bleed is there and thats what I dislike the most, black levels are just alright. I can't expect much at the price so what it does, it does well.

@LovroSabljak Жыл бұрын

@@robob221 Tnx for answering!! I don't know.. I'm still not sure.. people say quality control on gigabyte is not good and I don't know if I can trust factory calibration since unlike asus they don't claim anything so it can vary a lot from unit to unit.. I would like to get accurate colors since I do photo and video work, but I would also like a bit higher refresh rate, not for gaming because I don't game much but just for overall use.. and wider color gamut is nice, but for now I only really need sRGB and Rec 709 to be as acurate as possible.. The only thing stopping me to get asus is 75hz (at least better than 60) ..

@robob221 Жыл бұрын

@@LovroSabljak I would stray from 144hz screens if you are focused on photo editing and minimal gaming. There are compromises at lower price points if you want fast and accurate. Stick to photo editing focused monitors that have decent refresh rates. Rting's would know more than me as far as recommending goes. The gigibyte is accurate out of the box due to its newer panel but its only 2k res with a weird pixel layout so some text just looks off. I would say buy the gigabyte if you game just as much as you work but since thats not the case go with another monitor.

@LovroSabljak Жыл бұрын

@@robob221 There is Gigabyte G27Q which is cheaper, has 144hz instead of 170 and has RGB pixels.. The only thing missing is kvm which I 100% don't need... I don't know, Gigabyte still has wider color gamut then Asus.. I would have to make my mind somehow and just buy a damn monitor lol

hello, i am looking for a monitor for graphic design, i know that HDR is important for such monitors, if i am right this monitor is supposed to be for graphic design but has no HDR, how is it possible?

@RTINGSdotcom 2 жыл бұрын

It depends really if the graphic design work you do is for HDR content. Generally you want a monitor with excellent colors for media creation. All the options listed here are great for media creation and have a great HDR color gamut: www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table/78141 Feel free to add any other factors you consider important to help narrow down your list!
