I bought the ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV 27” WQHD (2560 x 1440) Monitor, 100% sRGB/Rec. 709 from Amazon in 2020. If you are a photographer, video editor, or illustrator, this ASUS ProArt Display might be the monitor for you.

so glad i found your channel through your vivo monitor mount video!
your editing and overall vibe is awesome!!
Thank you and I highly appreciate you being a returning viewer! 🙏
This is the same way I found your channel and I fell in love.
My man, that voice is like melting chocolate. Thank you so much for your review.
thank you for watching!!
It's a nice voice for sure! 😅
Just found your channel through Kevin and love your content! Super clear and straight to the point! I've been eyeing this monitor to use as my secondary monitor for a year now and I'm looking forward to getting it this summer! Keep on killing it! 😁
Thank you, you as well! The colors from this monitor has not let me down
Amazing review!! Thank you so much!
Awesome video! Really helped me out A LOT!!!
Im subscribing just off of your voice & graphics! #DOPE
Such a high quality video, can't understand why you don't have more subscribers ! Thinking of getting this as a 2nd monitor.
Man...I am so happy that I found your channel! Your delivery and flow of information is on point. Keep up the great work my friend.
Thank you for watching!
watched so many videos on my journey to find a decent monitor for the new m3 pro and yours was absolutely the nicest to watch!
Good review, thanks for the help.
Love your style dawg! Subscribed 👊
Quality review, also really clean looking desk setup 👍 great work overall!
My guy with the straight up no-BS review! I actually already own this monitor, was browsing mounting solutions and this one popped up and super happy it did!
appreciate the comment! thanks for checking this out!
Glad to see this review 🙌🏾 I bought this monitor to accompany my iMac a few months ago and it has been surprisingly sufficient. The Rec 709 mode helps me when I’m editing in Premiere Pro, it shows a better representation of how videos will look when exported. Definitely happy with this purchase 😎
That’s dope to hear. Thank you for checking this out! 🙌
Nice Vid man! glad I watched this. thanks!
Thanks for watching!!
this was great thank you!!
thank you for watching!
Awesome video dude! Just subbed.
Waiting for my monitor to arrive, got it brand new for 240$
I have this monitor too and I LOVE it! I even thought about getting a second and daisy chaining for dual display
That sounds like the move 👀
Nice review bro
For over a year i searched for video reviews on this and found nothing, i finally decided to just buy it and return if I didn’t like it. I’m a photographer/videographer so color accuracy of my Mac has always been great but more and more i found myself just wanting to use my MacBook Pro and plugin. needless to say, i was pleased enough to keep this for $300 vs $450 for the LG I also tested. It may not be perfect like a $6k monitor but your clients are not looking that close. I recently edited a commercial for TV and no one said anything about the colors in that video.
Anyway, just discovered your videos and will sub before you hit 1mil… don’t change, keep this vibe… it was nice to watch a review and not feel like someone was screaming at me haha.
I’m glad to be useful and thank you, I’ll make sure to keep the same vibe 🙌🫡
That wink tho, great video my dude! I’m trying to get a new monitor myself, I wanted to eventually get a standing desk set up, one day Fasure.
I bought my standing desk during a winter sale. Autonomous. I'd also look at Knead Furniture and Branch
Great review!
thank you and thanks for watching!
Great review! Only thing is the screen glare that gets me, any tips for that?
Great review! The ASUS ProArt Display 27" Monitor with its WQHD resolution seems like a fantastic choice for creative professionals and anyone who values high-quality visuals. Your detailed analysis and demonstration provided a clear understanding of its performance and features. This monitor is now on my radar for its potential to elevate my work and entertainment experience. Thanks for sharing your insights and showcasing this impressive display!
If you're a returning viewer, you're the best! Now...for the usual comment:
I'll give you a big ol' MWUAH if you WATCH other videos of mine!

I really wish they would have added a KVM to the CV version, this and the CV are kind of in a class of their own at 1440p. I was thinking about replacing mine but after some hunting around and not finding anything that suits what I want I guess I'll upgrade my gaming monitor instead. Solid review, the only thing I'd add is the pro art utility lets you change color spaces without having to fiddle with the menu buttons.
I've had this monitor for about a year and it completely changed the way I color my photos and video
Same. I previously only used a BenQ that wasn't great for color. As a result, when I transferred photos to my phone it looked "off". Frustrating but my own fault using that monitor.
@@visionarywatts benq which one?
hi, thanks for video! would you recommend this monitor for watching movies?
Great video! I’m in the market for a monitor to edit photos and videos and there are so so many options! .
I’ve talked to three stores and they all gave different recommendations 🤣
Would you recommend getting an ASUS PA329CV, BENQ PD3225u or DELL u3223qe?
I'm getting into freelance video editing and the hardest decision so far is which solid entry level monitor I should get for the most accurate colors. This was a great video.
This would be the most honest review 😂😅loved the vid bro ❤️
I couldn’t have found a better review.
Hi, how is image quality when I set output resolution to full hd ?
Is there any need of calibration or is the color accurate out of the box..I print my photos too..
Hey, thanks for sharing. I just bought the monitor for digital art, I presumed the SRGB would be the right setting I need, but it's so dark compared to the standard mode, I don't suppose you know which setting is most appropriate? mamny thanks
Had to sub cause of your color grading lmfao
THAT'S A REVIEW MADE WITH STYYYLE!
🤣
I bought one based on your review. Thank you for helping me with my indecision. Hey do you have a link to the wooden stand you have in the video below the monitor? I've bought the arm through your link. Thanks
dope, thank you! It's this (amzn.to/3K9RPgz) but it looks like it takes a while to ship at the moment
ok, ill go buy this
Do you use level 50 in rec709 mode? It's so dark.
Just threw money at my screen. Monitor ordered. Thanks for making this video!
Appreciate you for checking this out and commenting!
Good review! Could you provide your opinion on text legibility (clarity/sharpness/etc.) on this monitor?
Text clarity looks "okay" on my end. I've been in front of laptops where I've been wowed by the sharpness and this monitor is not that. But text is not blurry either. Just average.
@@visionarywatts Gotcha. Thanks so much for the reply!
Hello! Glad to find your channel! I have a question tho
Is it safe to mount a light bar on the monitor? I’m concerned about it being frameless and might damage it.
I’m eyeing on the Xiaomi lightbar tho. I’m also concerned if the magnet of it will affect the monitor
The top bezel border around the monitor is very thin so if the light bar is clamped on, it doesn’t have that much room for to clip on to (the Baseus light bar has a tension/ clamp design). You should be able to see what I’m talking about in my VS light bar video comparing the one I mentioned to BenQ. I don’t have an Xiaomi but I imagine the design is comparable to one of the two
@@visionarywatts Alright I'll check it out. Thank you so much!
While editing the pictures
U leave it in srgb mode or rec 709 mode??
Should we switch to srgb during photo editing and rec 709 for video editing??
I use sRBG for photos and I edit in 709. Somewhere in this video I said I switch in between the two for photos but mainly use sRGB.
On the video about 75% finished there is the Pro Art 1440p 144hz monitor @ $309. on your screen, so which one it the video about? Also you mention a "300.00" price tag yet the PA278QV is $239. Thanks. Otherwise great vid.
4K or 2K? which is better and will last
Sansung g70a 144hz 4k or this for adobe creative cloud?
1:01 great color keying here
I'm 8 months late, just letting you know your production quality is top tier!
better late than never! appreciate it!!!
hy. How is it compared to a 4k same 27 inch. Is the pixelation on text noticable or is the text crisp and clear from a normal distance? For daily usage.
The text on this version isn’t crisp and it isn’t the worst. Moreso mid range. I think a monitor review channel guru would have a better answer for you. I’ve never had the 4K version
hey i do have this monitor and i see a sligh green/yellow tint to it and cuz of that white and gray looks a little greenish when i compared it with my laptop which has a good color accuracy....did u also have the same problem??? also im not sure whether to use standard more or srgb mode or rec.709 mode for photo editing and graphic design. pls guide on that:)
Exactly , same problem here!
one small mistake... it is not 100 by 100 centimeters VESA mount, its millimeters
am considering pd2700Q ( which is the only 10 bit monitor and the cheapest of the 3 ) , PD 2705Q ( which is the updated version of pd2700q & apparently 8bit ) And Asus Proart Pa278Qv ... Which should I buy ?
Bro I'm exactly confused between this. Which did you choose and why ?
What are those lamps called on your desk? They look so good! I need them!
It's these: amzn.to/3lIXjXc I actually moved them to my bedroom as nightstand lights cause the ambience of them is really nice. It's RGB as well if you care about that. Touch the base to turn on and keep tapping to increase brightness and turn off.
@@visionarywattsthank you so much man! Definitely adding these to the set up and the RGB makes it even better!
bro how do u only have 2k subs? hella underrated
Haha, I gotta keep working on releasing videos people are interested in and hope the algorithm starts being in my favor 🤞
@@visionarywatts I hope it does bc I think a lot of people would enjoy ur content
which has better sharpest image 24 ench or 27. ? because of size 27(2k not 4k ) can effect display sharpness anyway?
With the same resolution, the smaller monitor will always look sharper and have higher DPI.
i came here from searching asus va24ecpsn xd
i do not understand how their naming scheme works at all at this point
would you say that this review can count for the 24 inch one? because im thinking of getting the 24 inch one to use for working and im not a hertz weenie for gaming
Yea the color science should be the same. The differences you would be stuff like resolution, connection ports, etc. lol @ hertz weenie
@@visionarywatts bet ima try to cop 3 of them shits sometime this month if they dont go out of stock
@@sazlefraz I haven’t looked but check today and tomorrow to see if Amazon has knocked some dollars off for their prime day. Check also bh photo, Adorama and any other place that is trying to compete with Amazon’s current sale
Is the monitor good for graphics + gaming? The best solution in this price range? Is there a difference between 24 and 27 inch monitors - or just the size?
That has to be higher in the price range. Otherwise you can sacrifice and get a 99% sRGB acer nitro.
What did you end up buying? I am deciding between LG 27GP850-B, Asus ProArt PA278PQ, Asus VG27A, Gigabyte G27Q, and LG 27UL550-W. I need monitor for semi-professional video and photo editing and also gaming.
You think this is the best for under the $300 price range?
I have the 32 inch 1440p version of this display. I was able to get it for $650 and am blown away by the feature set of this. 4k would have been nice but regardless I love it. It's good for me as I like to game as well and do some video and photo edit. I also LOVE the 90w PD port for connecting my iPad Pro and Macbook 14 as well as my PC.
How have you found 1440p working with Mac os? I'm looking at making the switch to Mac soon and have been eyeing of this monitor as I can get it for a steal at 1440p, interested to hear your thoughts
@@nicholasmoriarty6509 I just bought this monitor should be here tomorrow. I bought it for a Mac Studio. I did a lot of research and went with the PA278CV.
does it look like a retina display?
Mine has 0 backlight bleed, I got luck.
I have a PA279CV monitor but there is a problem of the firmware. It will reset to USB 2.0 after restarting the monitor. why the hell Asus set USB 2.0 as default USB mode when it supports USB3.1 gen 2?
You're asking the good questions!
What’s the difference between cv & qv?
@@asalalawsi CV is 4k, QV is 2560*1440
@@DaneChan thanks 🙏🏻
God bless!
Thanks for checking this out!
Hi, my monitor has the same IPS glow problem: ua-cam.com/video/jBS-84C6FJI/v-deo.html, but is it a defect of the Asus ProArt PA278Q or is it normal for an IPS panel ?
I think it's just how it is. I just looked at this monitor on RTNGS and they show the same thing.
@@visionarywatts Thanks for replying, from the photos it is difficult to understand if the IPS GLOW level of these PA278Qs are all the same, I hope my sample is within the norm. At first I was torn between the PA278Q and the Dell S2721QS, from RTNGS reviews the Dell seems to have better black uniformity.
Check out the new BenQ 272U Hardware Calibrated monitor....Also.. Calibrating any monitor is a must. They all claim these numbers of 99-100% SRGB" or 99% Adobe RGB. But based on my test, they all mostly marketing CAP in real world usage. I lived in Taiwan for 15 years,... Asus is a Taiwanese company.. They are notorious for hyping up the marketing and claims. But they do mostly but out some good products in the motherboard, laptop and tablet space. They like MSI, and GIGABYTE are relatively new to the prosumer market for displays. They outsource like Apple many of there components..... so quality with vary based on how strict their quality control is.😊
I hate the big logo in the front staring at me.. went on offer up and bought (almost new) Dell Ultrasharp u2722de for $250.. If the logo doesn't bother you I think the ASUS is a great buy
lol @ your username. I've never thought about the logo being an eye sore for myself but I see where you are coming from. Nice grab!
logo snob, yuck
Cover the logo with black electrical tape & save $$
wanna know a little secret i learned earlier this week.. LG makes asus panels and monitors.. i was kind of surprised to learn that. in fact LG ASUS SAMSUNG all share the exact same specs 1.07b color 1000:1 ratio 350/400 brightness nit, 4k, blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda the only varying factors among each is the power consumption and the speakers. Everything else is the exact same among all of them in that particular price range
TIL, thanks for sharing 🙏🙏
I got this monitor recently, and while the display is nice, especially for photos and video, text is disappointing. Tapped into some Windows functionality to try and improve it, but I'm still not liking it. Way too pixelated for me. I'm gonna have to go with 4K.
That's incredibly disappointing, I just bought two of these for programming 😔 hopefully it's not too bad.
@@Synthwave89 How was it?
I think I found my monitor
What mode do you recommend for photo editing? SRgb or Rec709
I use sRGB mainly and flip over to 709 just to see how it’s looking
@@visionarywatts Why does the monitor have a standard mode? What is it used for?
i trusted dell U2717D and it died on its own 4 years later it still works but the screen is beyond corrupted
so i learned to never trust dell ever again first and last monitor ill ever have from dell
Thanks for sharing. I'm kinda hesitant with Dell myself just because I've heard their customer service is lacking.
@@visionarywatts update tried to trouble shoot with another person and the monitor started smoking
so yeah gonna permanently avoid dell products all of em
@@Nogardtist wtfff sorry you had to go through that.
@@visionarywatts yap went from small amount of vertical lines to entire screen being corrupt to smoking just in few days
used almost every single day for hours and even during few heatwaves
dont know who engineered it but if a monitor cant last 10 years its a trash model and or brand
i also learned to stay away from razer products cause the quality control is terrible so atleast i didnt spend like premium amount of blood money
also i paid my whole month minimal wage for that dell monitor so atleast im lucky that this lenovo legion y520 still works flawlessly despite its conditions being well visibly used and still going since early 2017
what montor sand / shelf is that by chance
SAMDI Monitor Stand - amzn.to/3cE3DuL (AD)
I’m too dumb for this stuff. Once you said there wasn’t true black and the back bleed i crossed this one off my list.
Building my first computer for digital art and graphic design and all i need is the monitor. Which is super hard to find the right one when you’re me. Takes me like 3 years to finally understand something by dumb luck or i finally find a 10 year old video the algorithm hide for years from me. :/
Anyway I’m subbing, hopefully i can learn something through your other videos (:
I'm sure you're a bright person! I'm glad I helped you reach a decision. Thanks for allowing me to earn your sub!
