Head-to-head
ASUS ProArt PA248QV vs PA278CV: 27-inch adds QHD workroom and 65W charging, 24-inch fits narrower desks
The short answer
Choose PA248QV for a smaller 16:10 display on a compact desk. PA278CV adds a larger QHD canvas and USB-C video with 65W laptop charging.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
Compare detail at the actual screen size
PA248QV works out to about 93.9 pixels per inch, versus 108.8 for PA278CV. A denser panel can draw finer text at the same logical size, while comfortable scaling determines workspace.
What this is based on
Pixels per inch = √(width² + height²) / diagonal. Inputs are 1920 × 1200 at 24.1 inches and 2560 × 1440 at 27 inches. Published nominal diagonals make these approximate.

Winner by situation
Start with what you need it to do
Fit a narrower desk
PA248QV is 533 mm wide, compared with PA278CV at 615 mm. Its 82 mm narrower body better accommodates a constrained horizontal space.

- Depends
Dock a USB-C laptop
PA278CV provides USB-C video and up to 65 W charging. PA248QV does not provide that video-and-power route.
- ASUS ProArt 24-inch WUXGA Monitor
- Not suitable
- ASUS ProArt Display 27-inch USB-C
- Better fit
Prefer a compact 16:10 layout
PA248QV uses a 24.1-inch 1920 × 1200 panel with a 16:10 ratio. PA278CV is a larger 27-inch 16:9 QHD display.

Need more pixels across a larger screen
PA278CV adds 640 horizontal pixels and 240 vertical pixels, with a larger 27-inch panel. Scaling still determines the practical size and amount of visible content.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
Compare detail at the actual screen size
PA248QV works out to about 93.9 pixels per inch, versus 108.8 for PA278CV. A denser panel can draw finer text at the same logical size, while comfortable scaling determines workspace.
How we reached this conclusion
Pixels per inch = √(width² + height²) / diagonal. Inputs are 1920 × 1200 at 24.1 inches and 2560 × 1440 at 27 inches. Published nominal diagonals make these approximate.
Separate native detail from game speed
PA248QV draws 2.3 million native pixels per frame and PA278CV 3.7 million. Their refresh ceilings are 75Hz and 75Hz respectively.
How we reached this conclusion
Native pixels = width × height. Refresh interval =1000 / Hz, giving 13.3 and 13.3 ms. These are signal and cadence calculations, not measured frame rates, input lag or pixel response.
The larger ProArt needs 82 mm more desk width
PA278CV is 615 mm wide against 533 mm and adds 65W USB-C delivery.
How we reached this conclusion
615 - 533 = 82 mm, or 3.23 inches. PA248QV has no USB-C charging.
Choice A
ASUS, PA248QV
ProArt 24-inch WUXGA Monitor
A compact 16:10 panel keeps extra lines visible in documents and calibrated sRGB work without taking the width of a 27-inch display.
- Best matched use
- A small desk that needs more document height than ordinary Full HD
Checked facts
- 24.1-inch 1920 by 1200 IPS panel at 75Hz
- 16:10 aspect ratio and 100 percent sRGB coverage
- Four-port USB-A hub with HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA inputs
- 533 mm chassis width and 211 mm stand depth
Choice B
ASUS, PA278CV
ProArt Display 27-inch USB-C
A QHD ProArt display keeps text comfortably sized and supplies up to 65 watts through the same cable used for video. The adjustable stand and DisplayPort output suit a work desk that may grow.
- Best matched use
- Design and office work from a modest-power USB-C laptop
Checked facts
- 27-inch 2560 by 1440 IPS panel at 75Hz
- USB-C video with up to 65 watts and DisplayPort output
- 150 mm height adjustment and a 615 by 228 mm stand footprint
Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | ASUS ProArt 24-inch WUXGA Monitor | ASUS ProArt Display 27-inch USB-C | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Native resolution | 1920 × 1200 | 2560 × 1440 | Operating-system scaling changes usable logical workspace. |
| Panel diagonal | 24.1 in | 27 in | A nominal screen class may differ slightly from the measured active diagonal. |
| Maximum refresh | 75Hz | 75Hz | Check the exact input, resolution and overclock conditions. |
| Panel technology | IPS | IPS | Panel type alone does not establish a measured color or motion winner. |
| Laptop power | No USB-C laptop charging | Up to 65W | Host, cable and negotiated power profile must support the desired delivery. |
| Chassis width | 533 mm | 615 mm | Allow additional room for cables, arms and neighboring equipment. |
| Stand depth | 211 mm | 228 mm | The included stand can take more desk depth than the display cabinet. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose ASUS ProArt 24-inch WUXGA Monitor
- Its 1920-pixel width leaves less room for side-by-side applications than QHD or 4K.
If you choose ASUS ProArt Display 27-inch USB-C
- DisplayPort daisy chaining depends on the laptop and operating system, especially on a Mac.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
The connector can change the total purchase
PA248QV does not have USB-C video or charging. PA278CV adds both, so a laptop setup may need fewer separate connections.
The extra height is not just diagonal size
PA248QV uses 1200 rows, while PA278CV uses 1440. The 16:10 smaller panel preserves more vertical room than a 1080p monitor of similar size.
Stand adjustment is worth checking at the desk
PA278CV lists 150 mm of height adjustment versus 130 mm on PA248QV. The range does not establish the final eye-level height without the desk and seated position.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Pixel density and refresh intervals are calculations from published specifications, not a measured visual-quality or latency test.
- USB-C power is a maximum negotiated ceiling. It does not promise full-speed charging for every laptop.
