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.

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

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.
