Head-to-head
ASUS PA248QV vs PA278QV: The smaller 16:10 panel has fewer vertical pixels than 27-inch QHD
The short answer
Choose the PA248QV when a narrow desk and comfortable text size are the priority. Choose the PA278QV when two work windows or detailed images need more pixels. The smaller monitor's 16:10 shape is useful, but it does not contain more vertical pixels than QHD.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
QHD provides 60% more pixels
The PA278QV has 3.69 million native pixels compared with 2.30 million on the PA248QV.
What this is based on
2560 × 1440 ÷ (1920 × 1200) = 1.6. More pixels do not guarantee more effective workspace at different scaling.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
QHD provides 60% more pixels
The PA278QV has 3.69 million native pixels compared with 2.30 million on the PA248QV.
How we reached this conclusion
2560 × 1440 ÷ (1920 × 1200) = 1.6. More pixels do not guarantee more effective workspace at different scaling.
Each half-window gains 320 pixels of width
A two-way split starts at 1280 pixels per side on the PA278QV and 960 on the PA248QV.
How we reached this conclusion
2560 ÷ 2 − 1920 ÷ 2 = 320. The QHD split is one-third wider before app borders.
The 16:10 screen still has fewer rows
The PA278QV has 240 more rows, or 20% more than the PA248QV.
How we reached this conclusion
1440 − 1200 = 240. A taller aspect ratio is a shape description, not a guarantee of more vertical resolution.
Choice A

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | ASUS ProArt 24-inch WUXGA Monitor | ASUS ProArt Display 27-inch QHD | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size and shape | 24.1 inches, 16:10 | 27 inches, 16:9 | The compact screen uses a taller shape relative to its width. |
| Native resolution | 1920 × 1200 | 2560 × 1440 | The larger model has more pixels in both directions. |
| Side-by-side halves | 960 × 1200 pixels each | 1280 × 1440 pixels each | The QHD model gives two windows materially more width. |
| Refresh ceiling | 75Hz | 75Hz | There is no refresh-rate upgrade between them. |
| USB-C video | No | No | Both need separate video and laptop-power connections. |
| Chassis width | 533 mm | 615 mm | The compact monitor saves 82 mm of desk width. |
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 QHD
- A 75Hz QHD panel offers less detail and motion smoothness than newer 4K 120Hz office screens.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
The compact model solves a real space problem
The PA248QV saves 82 mm of chassis width. That can decide whether a monitor fits between shelves or leaves enough room for a laptop stand. Its 16:10 screen uses the limited width efficiently, but it is still a lower-resolution display than the PA278QV.
QHD makes two-window work less cramped
The most useful difference is not the diagonal measurement. Each half of a QHD desktop starts with 1280 horizontal pixels, versus 960 on the smaller screen. For a browser beside a document, that can reduce the need to hide sidebars or repeatedly resize windows.
Do not confuse shape with resolution
The PA248QV is taller relative to its width, yet the PA278QV has 1440 rows against 1200. If your goal is to see more spreadsheet rows, QHD has the stronger raw-pixel case. If your goal is comfortable text on a compact screen, the smaller panel can still be the better fit.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Split-window figures exclude borders and operating-system scaling.
- No measured color-accuracy advantage is inferred from the shared ProArt branding.
