The Asus ProArt PA278QV’s ergonomics were praised, as were the flicker-free backlight, VRR support, and quick response time. Critics agree it’s a good monitor for light gaming. But it has low contrast, no HDR, and poor blacks.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Asus ProArt PA278QV has great ergonomics and a flicker-free backlight, making it a great choice for those who need to work hard and play hard. However, it has a low contrast ratio, no HDR support, and poor black uniformity. If you’re looking for a monitor with Extreme Low Motion Sync (ELMB SYNC), check out the ASUS ROG Strix XG279Q.
