FAQs

What is the difference between PA278QGV and PA278QV?

The PA278QGV is the second-generation model, offering enhanced performance such as a higher 120Hz VRR, factory calibration to Delta E < 2, Calman Verified certification, and the new M Model color temperature for MacBooks, while retaining core features like the 27-inch QHD resolution and wide color gamut.

How do I ensure color consistency with my MacBook?

Utilize the 'M Model' color temperature preset available in the monitor's OSD menu. This setting is specifically calibrated to match the color performance of macOS devices, ensuring seamless color accuracy between your MacBook and the ProArt display.

Can this monitor be used for HDR content?

Yes, the PA278QGV supports HDR-10. While it has a typical brightness of 350 cd/m², it is designed to display HDR content with improved contrast and color range compared to standard dynamic range displays.

How do I adjust the monitor's height and tilt?

The monitor features an ergonomic stand with height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments. Simply grasp the monitor and move it to your desired position. The stand allows for up to 13 cm of height adjustment and a tilt range of -5° to 23°.

What is the refresh rate, and why is it important?

The monitor has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz, meaning it can display up to 120 frames per second. This is crucial for smooth motion in fast-paced content like gaming, video editing, and animation, reducing blur and stuttering.

Does this monitor have built-in speakers?

Yes, the PA278QGV includes built-in speakers with an RMS rated power of 4W.

How can I clean the screen safely?

Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a screen-specific cleaner. Avoid spraying liquid directly onto the screen and do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the warranty period for this monitor?

While specific warranty details can vary by region, ASUS ProArt monitors typically come with a multi-year manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the ASUS website or your purchase documentation for precise warranty information for your region.

Troubleshooting

No power or display

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check that the video cable is firmly connected to both the monitor and your computer. Try a different video cable or port if available.

Screen flickers or shows lines

Check all cable connections for a secure fit. Try a different video cable or input port. Update your graphics card drivers to the latest version. Ensure VRR is configured correctly in your graphics card settings.

Colors appear inaccurate or washed out

Verify that the correct color profile is selected in your operating system and graphics settings. Ensure the monitor is set to the desired color gamut (e.g., sRGB, DCI-P3). Use the OSD settings to calibrate or reset to factory default color settings. Check if ASUS Light Sync is adjusting the colors unexpectedly and consider disabling it if necessary.

USB hub not working

Ensure the USB upstream cable is connected from the monitor to your computer. Try connecting a different USB device to test. Restart your computer and the monitor. Check for any driver updates for the USB hub in your system.

Monitor not detected by computer

Confirm that the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Re-seat the video cable. Restart both the monitor and the computer. Try connecting the monitor to a different computer to rule out a computer-specific issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional color accuracy (Delta E < 2) with wide DCI-P3 and sRGB coverage.

  • Adaptive color temperature adjustment via ASUS Light Sync.
  • Highly adjustable and ergonomic stand for user comfort.
  • Seamless connectivity with multiple ports and a built-in USB hub.

Cons

  • Connectivity: Supports connection via HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. Ensure your graphics card has compatible output ports.

  • VESA Mount: Supports 100 x 100 mm VESA wall mounting.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the screen, gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or a specialized screen cleaner. Never spray liquid directly onto the screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the monitor has adequate ventilation by not blocking the vents. Do not place it in enclosed spaces without proper airflow.
