The ASUS PA278CV is good for media creation. The 1440p resolution delivers a sharp image, and the 27 inch size offers plenty of space to open multiple windows side-by-side. It has an excellent color gamut with good coverage of the Adobe RGB color space, though it may not be enough for professional...

While it isn’t the biggest display and doesn’t run in 4K, the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV offers tremendous value with the specs most people need for work. Plus, it’s affordable enough to make a dual-monitor setup reasonable.

Sub-4K resolution, 65W power charges larger MacBook Pros slowly
I have had this monitor for six months connected to my laptop by USB-C. It's works great the USB feature was a main selling point why I chose this model. This is the brightest monitor I have ever owned and the colors are excellent.
It is my second ASUS monitor , affordable and good performance .My first one is PA-248. All by my friend recommends, His job is color management. I have it for half month, and color management by DATACOLOR SPYDER, the display was good, 100% RGB for sure, It is enough , I don't use Adobe RGB on PS.
Love this monitor! So crisp. Love the large screen to work from as it's connected to my laptop for bigger workspace!
I’m a photographer and I wanted to find a quality monitor and this one has been great for me. It’s been the perfect companion to my Mac Studio. Colors are nice, great resolution.. I do wish it could get a tiny bit brighter sometimes but it’s really a great monitor.
I am thrilled both with this PA279CV monitor and with my decision to upgrade from my Viewsonic 23" 1080p, a decision I made largely by chance. I had no idea the difference would be so dramatic, and more the sharpness and resolution than the increase in screen area.
I've had this monitor for about a month now and I still love it. I don't really game and I guess you can say thats redundant, but like I love this monitor for school and work. I heard it's vesa mountable, but I can't find the tab that takes out the stand to do that, so if someone would please kindly...
After trying several monitors for my home computer, on which I do moderate gaming (nothing crazy), I am super impressed with this one. First, ASUS seems to make monitors with the best color overall; everything looks clear, bright, and vibrant, and it is easy to bump up the saturation and sharpness...
The monitor itself is good, especially for the price point. The speaker quality is rough, but we don’t use it much with audio. The sound is pretty “tinny” compared to a better speaker. We will likely purchase more of these for my office.
Writing a review due to a rather strange lack of reviews out there for the PA32UCR-K. It blows my mind this particular model has not been reviewed more. Anyway I grade HDR video and use a 13" M1 iPad Pro with XDR and a 14" MBP with XDR displays at 1600 nits.
I thought this would be very easy and plug and play using the provided USB-C cable from my MacBook Air M2 laptop to the back of the monitor. But forgive me while I rant. The solution is bottom is at the bottom of my rant. When I used the USB-C cable as required for a Mabook Air (no HDMI port).
