## Frequently asked questions

### Who is the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CGV for?

People who want the best all-round 27-inch monitor at a midrange price. It is Wirecutter's top 27-inch pick for its combination of picture quality, ports and price, with 1440p at 144Hz, a fully adjustable stand, 90W USB-C charging and a 3-year ProArt warranty. On our board it is the best ownership-per-dollar choice in B tier. If you want 4K and the strongest warranty service, the Dell UltraSharp U2725QE is the better long-term buy.

### Should I buy the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CGV or the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CFRV?

Buy the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CGV. It adds 144Hz over the 100Hz of the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CFRV for a modest premium, which is the main reason it ranks higher on our board. Pick the PA278CFRV only if its built-in lux meter for ambient calibration matters to your colour work and the refresh rate does not.

### How long does the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CGV last?

The 3-year ProArt warranty is the same length as Dell's UltraSharp cover, and the IPS panel has no burn-in risk, so several years of service is a fair expectation. The board records no recurring faults for it. The difference from Dell is in service logistics rather than panel life, because ASUS support is a step behind Dell's advance-exchange process.

### Can the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CGV charge a laptop?

Yes. Its USB-C port delivers 90W of power, which is enough to charge most laptops while carrying the video signal over the same cable. If you need a full Thunderbolt dock with daisy-chaining, the Dell UltraSharp U2724DE offers that, but at a substantial premium for the same panel class.

### Is 1440p on the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CGV sharp enough at 27 inches?

Yes for most people. 1440p at 27 inches gives clear text without the scaling that 4K requires, and it is much easier on a graphics card. If you read very small text all day or edit photos where pixel density matters, 4K is sharper, but 1440p is the sweet spot for general office and creative work.

## What this tier means

- B: Good. A solid choice with real caveats worth knowing.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
