ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV 27" WQHD Professional Monitor
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV 27" WQHD Professional Monitor (ASU-PA278CV / 90LM06Q0-B01310) - 3 Year Warranty
A 27-Inch WQHD Professional Monitor for Creative and Office Workflows
The ASUS ProArt PA278CV is a 27-inch professional monitor at 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) resolution, built for colour-conscious work without the cost of a 4K panel. It suits graphic design, photo editing, general video work and any office role where accurate, factory-checked colour matters more than maximum pixel count — a practical middle ground between an ordinary office monitor and a full 4K ProArt panel.
Factory-Calibrated Colour with 100% sRGB Coverage
The panel is factory calibrated and Calman Verified, covering 100% sRGB and 100% Rec. 709 at a Delta E of less than 2 out of the box, with DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB emulation modes available through ASUS ProArt Preset for work that references those gamuts. Every unit ships with an individual colour calibration report specific to that panel.
USB-C with 65W Power Delivery — the "CV" in the Name
The defining feature of the CV models in ASUS's ProArt range is USB-C: a single cable carries DisplayPort Alt Mode video plus up to 65W of Power Delivery, enough to charge most ultrabooks and many 14-inch creative laptops without a separate power brick. Two DisplayPort 1.2 inputs support daisy chaining a second monitor, alongside one HDMI 1.4 port and a four-port USB 3.2 Type-A hub for peripherals.
This is the practical difference against the sibling PA278QV in our catalogue, which is built without USB-C and instead offers a wider range of legacy video inputs — see the comparison in the FAQ below if you are choosing between the two.
75Hz Refresh and a Full Ergonomic Stand
A 75Hz maximum refresh rate gives smoother on-screen motion than the 60Hz standard for general productivity and video review, and the stand offers tilt, swivel, 90° pivot into portrait orientation and height adjustment — useful for code review, document proofing or a vertical layout check alongside the horizontal design work the panel is calibrated for.
QuickFit Virtual Scale for Print and Layout Work
ASUS QuickFit Virtual Scale overlays on-screen rulers and page-size guides so a document or photo print can be checked against its actual physical dimensions before it goes to print, directly on the panel without a separate measuring tool.
Supplied Locally, with GST Invoice and Singapore Warranty
SourceIT supplies the ASUS ProArt PA278CV with a full GST invoice and local Singapore support. ASUS backs this model with a 3-year warranty. Choosing between this, the non-USB-C PA278QV, or a 4K panel such as the PA279CRV? Email sales@sourceit.com.sg with your workflow and we will help you decide.

Connectivity & Ergonomics
Video Inputs and Host Compatibility
The PA278CV connects over USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode with up to 65W Power Delivery), DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 1.4, and is compatible with Windows and macOS. A single USB-C cable to a compatible laptop carries video, data and charging power together, which suits a clean single-cable desk setup for most ultrabooks and many 14-inch creative laptops.
Daisy Chaining a Second Display
Both DisplayPort 1.2 inputs support daisy chaining, so a second DisplayPort monitor can be connected from this unit's DisplayPort output without a second cable run back to the host — useful for a dual-monitor design or office setup fed from one workstation port.
Full Ergonomic Range, Including Pivot
Tilt runs from -5° to +35°, swivel is ±45° either side, and the panel pivots a full 90° into portrait orientation, with height adjustment of up to 150mm. That range covers most desk positions and lets the panel switch to portrait for document proofing, coding or vertical layout checks.
QuickFit Virtual Scale and Alignment Tools
QuickFit Virtual Scale overlays on-screen rulers and standard page-size guides so a photo or document can be checked against its true physical dimensions before printing, without a separate measuring tool.
Operating System and Software Compatibility
Compatible with Windows and macOS and suited to Adobe Creative Cloud and general office and design software. Confirm your laptop's USB-C alt-mode and power delivery support with us before ordering if you plan to rely on the single-cable connection.

Frequently Asked Questions — ASUS PA278CV
What is the actual difference between the PA278CV and the PA278QV in your catalogue?
Both are 27-inch WQHD panels with the same 100% sRGB coverage, Delta E < 2 calibration and 75Hz refresh rate. The difference is connectivity: the CV model has USB-C with 65W Power Delivery and dual DisplayPort 1.2 daisy chain, while the QV model has no USB-C at all and instead offers DVI-D, Mini DisplayPort and standard DisplayPort/HDMI — a wider spread of legacy inputs aimed at older workstations. If your laptop has USB-C, the CV is the simpler single-cable choice; if you are connecting older desktop hardware, the QV's extra legacy ports may suit better.
Will 65W USB-C power delivery charge my laptop while driving the display?
Yes, for most ultrabooks and many 14-inch creative laptops. Some larger 16-inch high-performance laptops draw more than 65W under load and may charge more slowly, or not keep pace with heavy use, over this port — check your laptop's rated power draw against 65W, or ask us and we will confirm.
Is 100% sRGB coverage enough for professional design work?
Yes, for the great majority of web, UI, general photo and design deliverables that target the sRGB colour space. ProArt Preset also includes DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB emulation modes for reference against those gamuts, though this is a sRGB-native panel rather than a native wide-gamut one.
Can I daisy chain a second monitor from this display?
Yes, both DisplayPort 1.2 inputs support daisy chaining a second DisplayPort monitor from a single host connection, subject to your GPU's total DisplayPort bandwidth.
Does it pivot into portrait orientation?
Yes, a full 90° pivot is supported alongside tilt, swivel and height adjustment, which suits document proofing, code review or a vertical layout check.
What is QuickFit Virtual Scale useful for?
It overlays on-screen rulers and standard page-size guides so you can check a document or photo against its true physical dimensions directly on the panel before sending it to print.
How much desk space does it need, and is it VESA mountable?
Footprint with the bundled stand is 615.0 x 524.0 x 228.0 mm, with tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment, and the panel is VESA 100 x 100mm compatible for a monitor arm.
Does SourceIT provide a Singapore warranty and GST invoice with this monitor?
Yes. Every ASUS ProArt PA278CV sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty support and a GST invoice; ASUS backs the panel with a 3-year warranty.
