ASUS - 27" Widescreen Flat-Panel IPS LED HD Monitor - Black

Got this model particularly because of the reasonable price at a 2K display level, and also because I want to get a monitor that matches both my Mac and my Surface pro's higher-than-HD displays. The set-up was quite easy. I didn't actually have to read any instructions, nor did I need any utensils. The picture output is great. And the decent audio quality gives it a plus. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

This monitor provides a clear, concise picture with excellent connections.

Has VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP, audio in, audio out. It tilts, swivels, pivots (portrait, landscape), and height adjustable. Has presets for theater, gaming, reading, etc, and can be changed (brightness, sharpness, etc). The monitor is heavy and seems tough/durable. Useful monitor if you need the flexibility of the inputs provided. 2K @ 27" is sharp/not jaggy, and looks fine without PPI scaling. In other words, 27" is not too big, not too small. Just make sure you have the desk space for this.

Had this monitor for 2 months. Perfect right from the box. Ordered online and choose to pick up at my local store so I could check for damage before accepting the monitor. Didn't trust having it delivered to my home and arriving damaged from careless handling. Comes with multiple ports and all the cords which my husband loved having. Not quit ready for a 4K or a curved monitor or extra wide one which is wider but has a shorter height. This 27" square flat monitor that is adjustable for height AND tilt! Great picture quality. Lots of different I/O ports and is 2560x1440. Perfect!!

My new Asus PB278Q 27-inch monitor produces a very good, bright, high-resolution image. The black case and stand are attractive and sit firmly on my desk with no looseness in the gimbal. The setup instructions, however, are very poor -- there is no text, just a few diagrams, and a couple of the steps are nearly uninterpretable. For example, the monitor is shipped with the screen oriented in vertical position relative to the stand, and it does not respond to a modest effort to rotate it. Should one apply more force? Or is there a latch of some sort that needs to be released? The instructions are silent on this question. I took a chance and pulled hard on the screen, and it then rotated into a horizontal position. I also discovered a piece of dirt between the LCD panel and the transparent panel -- it covers more than 3 pixels and moves around if I tap on the monitor. I'm hoping to knock it to the bottom of the panel so it won't show and I won't have to return the monitor for replacement. But the fact that this very obvious problem was ignored during the factory inspection suggests a lack of respect for the customer on the part of the manufacturer.

I am really liking this monitor so far. It is the best 1440p name brand monitor for the price available. Beautiful picture. The bezels are thick, but the overall design is amazing. It is solid. Would recommend to everyone looking for a 2K IPS display.

the functions of being able to move it into any position you want makes it practical for whichever way you want to mount it on your desk. The colors are very vibrant. There are all the inputs you want. The screen is big but good enough real estate to do multiple windows.

Compared a lot of monitors and this was the best I could find. Great picture, good features. Wish the buttons were back light to see in low light. Also cords are hard to run down the stand. Speakers could be better. not loud enough
