Know before you buy
Yes. The PA278CGRV is Calman Verified and factory-calibrated to a Delta E < 2, ensuring high color accuracy. It covers 100% of the sRGB and 97% of the DCI-P3 color gamuts, making it a reliable choice for photo and video editing.
Absolutely. The USB-C port supports up to 96W Power Delivery, which is sufficient to charge most modern laptops, including high-performance models, while simultaneously transmitting video and data signals.
The built-in Auto KVM switch allows you to control two different computers using a single keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor's USB hub. It automatically switches control to the active input source, streamlining your workflow when multitasking between devices.
While 144Hz is a staple for gaming, it also provides a noticeably smoother experience for general desktop navigation, scrolling through long documents, and timeline scrubbing in creative software. The variable refresh rate with AMD FreeSync ensures that motion remains fluid without screen tearing.
The monitor is compatible with any standard 100x100mm VESA mount. If you prefer to use your own arm, you can easily remove the included ergonomic stand using the quick-release mechanism.
ASUS Light Sync utilizes an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust the monitor's color gamut and brightness based on your room's lighting conditions. This helps maintain consistent color perception and reduces eye strain during long work sessions.
