ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV 27 inches WQHD (2560 x 1440) Monitor (Renewed)

Good picture. Easy assembly. Great value

I was able to use this monitor for video editing as well a monitor for live switching cameras for a live stream event. The adjustability of the screen is just so nice to use.

This is a preliminary review; I've only owned my pair of ProArt 24" monitors (model PA248QV) for a week or so as of this writing.I wanted two monitors for coding and design, and to read and watch stuff on the Internet, including a great deal of black-on-white text, complex images requiring careful interpretation, and movies for business and pleasure.I chose this monitor for the pivot to vertical, the extra resolution (helpful for viewing of text in both landscape and portrait orientations) the extended color gamut (at least 100% sRGB), high color fidelity, correct display of hue when facing head-on, and wide usable viewing angles (good for collaborations or stand-up work). But see CON at end of review.Nice-to-haves included the abundant USB3 ports, screen brightness (300 nits, while low for graphics professionals, is high for consumer monitors), easy brightness and blue light reduction, and the 75 Hertz refresh rate. I didn't care much about response time (this monitor is merely average in that regard).Owning the monitor revealed some additional pros and also a con or two.PRO:* Solid, classy-looking metal and plastic monitor stand. It's clean and professional looking - I like! My one unfilled desire is for the stand to allow the bottom of the screen to rise further than 5 1/4" off the table.* Monitor gets as bright as I want it, and it's easy to dim. it's also easy to reduce blue light, but obviously that changes display colors to a warmer palette.* Yes, the colors are solid in standard mode. This is just an entry-level design tool, but it really does work hard with the budget it has. You want to review your material in sRGB or Rec. 709 modes? This monitor makes it easy.* While there is no remote, the controls buttons work well (not true of all monitors).* Low, but faintly noticeable monitor edge bleed. Even for serious movie watching it's not too bad, and it's more than adequate for any other purpose.* No bright or dead pixels in my two units on delivery. No obvious flaws in the red, green, or blue display anywhere on screen. Fairly good display of both very dark and very light colors. This is an IPS screen, so blacks will not be super-dark, but I didn't need them to be.CON:This monitor is not without tradeoffs. It's a sub-$200 monitor, and these will appear somewhere. The one that really caught my attention is [b]vignetting[/b] - darkening around the edges, particularly near the bottom edge. This condition is exacerbated by the fact that a) display brightness drops if viewing angle differs greatly than 90 degrees, and that b) colors become warmer (more yellowish) if you look down at the pixel, and cooler (more bluish) if you look up.So my preference for placing the top of my monitor only just a bit above eye level needed revision. I had to raise my ProArt monitors so that my gaze centers no more than 2/3rds of the way up the screen in order to reduce the darkening (and yellowing) of the bottom of the screen to a level that I was satisfied with. The monitor stand was not able to do this, so I've had to extend it with a home-brew solution. The correct answer would have been to use a VESA mount, but I didn't feel like paying for one.This CON doesn't stop me from being glad I forked over the money for this particular monitor, at least as an early assessment. It gets four stars from me. My ProArts really do match my particular use-case quite well. Whether they will be as good for you depends on your own desires, and your own preparedness to pay for them.

Love it. Great color and easy of use. Love the stand. I like my 27” (same model) slightly better bc of the proportions work better for my photographs. But all out fantastic monitor.

Love the picture right out of the box. Great bezel and stand, high quality all around.The 75hz refresh rate isn't bad, but don't expect it to be a gaming monster.

Transitioning from a 2013 maxed out 27" iMac to the Mac Mini M1 I needed something to match what I needed for photographyThis is great. It's not 4k but if you're used to the pre-4k retina you'll feel right at home.The USB 3.1 HUB is great to connect HDD hard drives or 500mbs SSDs etc but there is no 3.1 gen 2.I double it for photo booths too and everyone thinks it a touch screen due to its setup, clean look and aesthetics. I use the HUB for camera and printer connection.If the USB C hub option is in your budget you can get that with more pixels (4k) and the ability to use it as a HUB with higher speed.It can also be used vertically and spinning and adjusting the monitor is silky smooth.

Sound quality is subpar

No flicker, which is the main reason I chose this screen.The colors are very accurate.Much better than the Dell P2314H screen I I used previously.Highly recommended.
