Part numberPA278CV
The same part under other regional numbers: 90LM06Q0-B01370
The short answer
The ASUS ProArt PA278CV is a 27" IPS monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution, taking video over DisplayPort or USB-C. It suits a mini PC owner who wants a roomy desk display and has a machine with one of those two outputs.

Specifications
At 27" with a 2560x1440 resolution on an IPS panel, it gives you room for windows side by side.
The USB-C video input means a mini PC with a video-capable USB-C port can drive it over a single cable, and DisplayPort covers machines with that output. If your machine has both, use whichever is free.

Which mini PCs it fits
A monitor needs an input matching an output on the machine, and this one takes DisplayPort or USB-C video. So your mini PC needs a DisplayPort output or a USB-C port that carries video.
The ASUS ExpertCenter PN65, Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max), BOSGAME M5 and Beelink SER8 fit. The BMAX MaxMini B4 Ultra, Beelink EQ14 and GMKtec NucBox G3 Plus do not, because none of their outputs matches an input on this monitor. For the Beelink GTi14 Ultra and GMKtec NucBox G3 we have not confirmed the fit.
Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.com, from the specifications we hold for each machine.

Before you buy
ASUS does not state the refresh rate, DisplayPort version, HDMI version, USB-C power delivery, Thunderbolt input, KVM switch, daisy chain, HDR, HDR certification, VESA mount or speakers. Do not count on charging a laptop over USB-C, and check the mount before buying an arm. Most of all, confirm your mini PC has a matching video output.
Common questions
Can I connect a mini PC to the PA278CV over USB-C?
Yes, it has a USB-C video input, so a mini PC with a USB-C port that carries video can drive it over one cable. ASUS does not state USB-C power delivery.
Will it work with a mini PC that only has HDMI?
Its video inputs are DisplayPort and USB-C, so HDMI alone will not match. A machine with no matching output, such as the Beelink EQ14, does not fit.
What refresh rate does the PA278CV run at?
ASUS does not state the refresh rate of this monitor, so we cannot say what it runs at. What is stated is a 2560x1440 resolution on a 27" IPS panel.
