ASUS VS278Q-P 27" Full HD 1920x1080 1ms DisplayPort HDMI VGA Back-Lit LED Monitor

Great monitor, I bought this as a second monitor, now I have two of these. Sure there are downsides as other reviewers have stated, but given the price and quality and fast response time this is highly recommended, better than many others. Moreover I didn't know about the problems until I read the reviews, like the colors at odd viewing angles, but still that's just being picky because the colors are great. Formerly I have had samsung monitors and they were nothing but trouble. After a year of having this monitor, I bought this second one, so that should tell you something. My eyes have issues if I don't have a high quality monitor, they get a lot of eye strain causing my eyes to turn red, but with these monitors my eyes don't have that problem so I highly recommend this monitor, especially to anyone with eye problems. I bought the 1ms monitor not for gaming but because I have to be careful about my eyes because I spend most of the day looking at the computer screen. These monitors have helped my eyes to heal but when I was looking at another screen at work the problem came back but with these monitors the problem went away. These monitors are overall a very high quality, and the sound is good. There is no backlight bleed, and the colors are rich and generally accurate, even for a graphic designer. I have used them for games as well and they perform very well. I like that they have many inputs. The only thing to be desired is a remote control. I do with they had a remote. However, in my opinion these are the best monitors for the price in the entire computer monitor industry. Regarding the specific one I received, very well packaged, great quality, I bought it used and it is about 3mm lopsided but you can hardly notice. I put a folded piece of paper underneath on side of the base and that helps to even it out. Other than that it functions 100% perfectly and the minor defect causing it to be lopsided was worth the price savings by buying used. YMMV.

I've read a number of reviews which complained of this unit's instability on its' stand and I have to wonder what those folks were doing to the poor thing, because it's quite stable for me and I have no problems with it at all. (What *DO* you folks do to your poor monitors?) I'm quite content with the actual performance of the monitor as well, and even people with older PCs can use a monitor like this, as the unit has HDMI, DP, and VGA inputs available, as well as inputs for external audio devices like an MP3 player. It's got two 2-watt speakers which are serviceable, but you can also use headphones (3.5mm jack) with it, too. Whether you're gaming (it's quite good for that), watching a DVD / movie file, or even just reading e-books, you'll find this monitor to be more than adequate to the purpose and priced very amicably when one considers all the features and controls it has, which are numerous indeed, yet easily accessible and easy to use. I do quite a bit of video editing as well as professional audio editing in my studio, and this unit is just perfect for what I do; I use professional audio monitors for mixing sound, and this unit is thin enough and just the right size to let me push it back far enough that I do not have audio reflection problems from the monitor sides (Google 'listening triangle' for more info on how that works). For video editing, the resolution is ideal and makes for crisp, clean results. Of course, your mileage will vary, depending on your video processor (hopefully you don't have crappy onboard graphics). Packaging includes a 3.5mm stereo male - to - male cable, a DVI - HDMI cable, and a standard VGA cable, as well as the typical IEC power cord. Manuals and a setup guide are also included.

I couldn't be more happy with this purchase. This was an upgrade from a Vizio 22' t.v. I had laying around which I initially was using as an "in between" monitor after my old one died. I ended up using the Vizio until I found something I felt comfortable dropping money on. After researching, I went with this model. -Set up: Out of the box, there were no dead or stuck pixels, which is what I would expect. It comes with everything you would ever need to hook up your monitor, except of course and HDMI cable. To some, this is an issue, but as I was using one for my old monitor it didn't affect me, just something to be aware of. You can find several cheap HDMI cables on Amazon if you don't have any extra. Once hooked up, I plugged my HDMI cable in and it fired right up. At first, there was a black border around the outside, but once Windows (8) installed everything and restarted it had basically set itself up. The brightness was the only thing I really had to change as it was a little too bright on 100 (default). Very minor issue and easy to fix. -Performance: 0 ghosting, Immediately tried it out watching some of my BluRay Bond movies and the picture was crispy and clear. I will do some more adjusting down the road I'm sure, but I was very impressed out of the box. I use my computer mostly for movie watching and gaming, and this monitor meets my high expectations. Beautiful picture. -Hardware: Many have talked about the base being a little wobbly, I put it on initially just for review purposes and it certainly could be sturdier, but it's not really an issue if you aren't knocking your desk around. Besides, for the size, this monitor is super light so any movement is minimal. Having said that, the base is a non-issue for me because I bought a Mount It! articulating stand for it, which you can read my review for. Removing the base and the part that fits into it were simple, and VESA mounting it was a breeze. The back is flat, which simplifies things as well. As a monitor used mostly for gaming and movie watching, this Asus is tough to beat, especially for the price. If you use your computer similarly, you will be as pleased as I am. I would highly recommend this monitor.

i was looking for dual monitors for a home office. i was searching for 22-24" monitors at first, and was hoping to find one with variety of inputs and at least 2ms refresh so i could use them for gaming one day as well. at the time a decent 24" with some of what i was looking for was $180, while these were $25 more but had everything i wanted plus speakers and were 27", easily worth the $$. i really like that these take all the inputs, even display port. if i had to complain, i would say that the bezel on these is kind of wide for a modern monitor at about 1", but i have mine mounted on adjustable stand arms, so the larger bezel makes it easier to position the monitors without getting my prints all over the screen.

Normally very happy with Asus products but this is an exception. The picture quality is ok, to be expected from a budget monitor. However my biggest issue with this monitor is it behaves oddly when used with a secondary display. I have an Onkyo receiver connected to my PC in addition to this monitor to broadcast to my projector. When I access task manager or login screen however the primary display goes completely blank and I need to turn the projector on to view what's on-screen. My previous ASUS MX279H monitor never experienced this problem with the same connections. In general if you're looking for a cheap monitor and are not using a secondary display then go ahead with this purchase. If however you are using a secondary display I would shy away from this particular model.

Hace ya algunos meses que compré un par de estas bellezas y estoy muy complacido con la compra. La velocidad no fue lo principal, pues solo quería expandir mi escritorio de tal forma que fuera más cómodo trabajar, así si estoy programando X dispositivo (por ejemplo) y tengo dudas con respecto a éste, es bastante cómodo abrir la hoja de datos en una sección del "otro" monitor para tener la información a la mano. Mi máquina ya tiene sus años y cuenta con salida DVI y VGA, para usar ambas en estos monitores necesité un adaptador DVI a HDMI y la VGA va directo a un monitor y sin problemas da los 1920x1080 y con el adaptador antes mencionado también, así que ¡WOW! super escritorio de trabajo. A recalcar que el monitor cuenta con dos entradas HDMI, un Display Port y la VGA, Así que sin dramas podemos conectar algún dispositivo (u otra computadora) y hacer el cambio solo apretando un botón. El ángulo de visión es bastante amplio. Si estás pensando en comprar un monitor te invito a que consideres este modelo. Consumo (típico): <45W Modo ahorro energía: <0.5W Modo apagado: 0W (en 0 el botón que está a un lado del cable de alimentación) Voltaje: 100-240V, 50/60Hz (por si te vas a Europa o Sudamérica y te lo quieres llevar xD) Frecuencia de señal analógica: 30~83 KHz(H)/ 50~76 Hz(V) Para la imagen, el monitor de la derecha usa el puerto D-sub (VGA) y el de la izquierda HDMI, nada ostentoso, simplemente extensión del escritorio.

It's a really good thing this monitor is for a home recording studio, because I already have really nice studio reference monitors and do not need the terrible speakers on this screen. Clarity and functionality are otherwise perfectly fine. I just can't hear anything loud enough from the speakers to get anything from it. Tinny quality to the sound, which I basically expect from screen speakers, but there's no volume at all. If you're a gamer, and want to enjoy the full audio experience of your games, make sure you have separate speakers.

superbe image, bonne réactivité, durable (5ans d'utilisation et toujours autant satisfait).
