This 27-inch ASUS ProArt QHD monitor is down to $169 in an early fall Prime Day deal

Amazon just dropped the ASUS ProArt PA278QV to $169, down from its $229 recommended retail price. That saves you $60, a 26% discount off the RRP, and it is the lowest price we have seen this year. It is also the lowest price we’ve ever tracked, so this looks like a strong time to grab it.

The ASUS ProArt PA278QV is a 27-inch IPS monitor with a 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution and a thin-bezel design. It is built for color-focused work, with 100% sRGB and 100% Rec.709 coverage, factory calibration, Calman Verified status, and claimed Delta E < 2 accuracy. That makes it a solid pick for photo editing, video work, and other projects where color matters.

It also goes beyond a basic office screen with a 75Hz refresh rate and Adaptive-Sync support, which can help motion look smoother than a standard 60Hz display. Around the back, you get a wide range of ports, including Mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, HDMI, dual-link DVI-D, audio in and out, and a 4-port USB 3.0 hub.

ASUS also includes a stand with height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustment, plus VESA mount support if you want to put it on an arm or wall mount. Creator tools like ProArt Preset, ProArt Palette, and QuickFit add extra control for color tuning and layout work. On top of that, the monitor has a 4.6-star review rating, which adds to the appeal at this price.
