Our Verdict

BenQ EL2870U

ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV

The ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV is much better than the BenQ EL2870U. The ASUS has an IPS panel with much wider viewing angles, its ergonomics are significantly better, it gets a lot brighter. Also, the ASUS' response time is faster, it has a slightly higher refresh rate and lower input lag. However, the BenQ has a higher resolution, which results in sharper text and images.
