Side by side
ASUS ProArt PA248QV vs PA278CV: Narrower desks fit the 24-inch, while the 27-inch adds QHD workroom and 65W charging
Quick verdict
Take the PA248QV if you want a smaller 16:10 display for a compact desk. The PA278CV brings a larger QHD canvas and USB-C video with 65W laptop charging.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Detail should be compared at the actual screen size
PA278CV reaches 108.8 pixels per inch, and PA248QV works out to about 93.9. A denser panel can draw finer text at the same logical size, while comfortable scaling determines workspace.
Where this comes from
Pixels per inch = √(width² + height²) / diagonal. The inputs are 1920 × 1200 at 24.1 inches and 2560 × 1440 at 27 inches. These are approximations, since the diagonals are published nominal values.
The catch

The PA278CFRV supplies 96 watts, above this model's 65-watt ceiling.

Work with a narrow desk
Against PA278CV at 615 mm, PA248QV is 533 mm wide, and its 82 mm narrower body is better suited to constrained horizontal space.

Dock a laptop over USB-C
USB-C video and up to 65 W charging are provided by PA278CV. PA248QV has no such video-and-power route.

Want 16:10 in a compact size
The PA248QV panel is 24.1-inch, 1920 × 1200, in a 16:10 ratio. PA278CV is a larger 27-inch 16:9 QHD display.

In practice
Differences you will notice
Detail should be compared at the actual screen size
PA278CV reaches 108.8 pixels per inch, and PA248QV works out to about 93.9. A denser panel can draw finer text at the same logical size, while comfortable scaling determines workspace.
How we worked this out
Pixels per inch = √(width² + height²) / diagonal. The inputs are 1920 × 1200 at 24.1 inches and 2560 × 1440 at 27 inches. These are approximations, since the diagonals are published nominal values.
Keep native detail apart from game speed
PA248QV draws 2.3 million native pixels per frame, and PA278CV draws 3.7 million. Refresh ceilings are 75Hz and 75Hz respectively.
How we worked this out
Native pixels = width × height. Refresh interval =1000 / Hz, giving results of 13.3 and 13.3 ms. These calculations cover signal and cadence only and are not measured frame rates, input lag or pixel response.
The larger ProArt takes up 82 mm more desk width
At 615 mm wide against 533 mm, PA278CV also adds 65W USB-C delivery.
How we worked this out
615 - 533 = 82 mm, or 3.23 inches. USB-C charging is absent on PA248QV.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | ASUS ProArt 24-inch WUXGA Monitor | ASUS ProArt Display 27-inch USB-C | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Native resolution | 1920 × 1200 | 2560 × 1440 | Usable logical workspace changes with operating-system scaling. |
| Panel diagonal | 24.1 in | 27 in | The measured active diagonal may differ slightly from a nominal screen class. |
| Maximum refresh | 75Hz | 75Hz | Look at the exact input, resolution and overclock conditions. |
| Panel technology | IPS | IPS | A measured color or motion winner is not established by panel type alone. |
| Laptop power | No USB-C laptop charging | Up to 65W | For the desired delivery, the host, cable and negotiated power profile all have to support it. |
| Chassis width | 533 mm | 615 mm | Leave additional room for cables, arms and neighboring equipment. |
| Stand depth | 211 mm | 228 mm | More desk depth can be taken by the included stand than by the display cabinet. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With ASUS ProArt 24-inch WUXGA Monitor
- At a 1920-pixel width, side-by-side applications get less room than on QHD or 4K.
With ASUS ProArt Display 27-inch USB-C
- Whether DisplayPort daisy chaining works varies with the laptop and operating system, most of all on a Mac.
Decision guide
How to decide
The PA248QV is for a smaller 16:10 display on a compact desk, and the PA278CV is for a larger QHD canvas along with USB-C video and 65W laptop charging.
A connector can alter the whole purchase
There is no USB-C video or charging on the PA248QV. The PA278CV adds both, which can mean fewer separate connections in a laptop setup.
More height isn't only a matter of diagonal size
Rows number 1200 on the PA248QV and 1440 on the PA278CV. Compared with a 1080p monitor of similar size, the smaller 16:10 panel keeps more vertical room.
Check the stand adjustment at your own desk
Height adjustment is listed as 150 mm on the PA278CV and 130 mm on the PA248QV. Without the desk and your seated position, the range does not tell you the final eye-level height.
What this page can’t tell you
- These pixel density and refresh interval figures are calculated from published specifications and do not come from a measured visual-quality or latency test.
- The USB-C power figure is the highest level that can be negotiated. It does not guarantee full-speed charging for every laptop.
