27" ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The ASUS Display PA278QV is a relatively new monitor. The ASUS Display PA278QV has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. For graphics color quality, the ASUS Display PA278QV has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. In terms of pixel density, the ASUS Display PA278QV has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The brightness of ASUS Display PA278QV is significantly better than other monitors. The monitor has a VESA mount. The minimum response rate of ASUS Display PA278QV is 7.1 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1114 : 1. For the average response rate, the ASUS Display PA278QV scores 13.5 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 48 Hz. ASUS Display PA278QV has a total input lag of 24 ms, which is bad among the competition. The ASUS Display PA278QV has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. Without the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is not compatible with AMD graphics cards.
