15 hours, 20 mins agoI recently purchased an ASUS PB278Q monitor for my daily use, and it's gorgeous. It's 2560x1440 resolution provides plenty of desktop real estate, but it only arrives with a 60Hz refresh rate. I feel like I'm substituting r...
For over a year now, I've been using the Samsung S27A950D, which is a 1920x1080 panel, but includes a super-slick 120Hz refresh rate. I owned an HP LP3065 many years ago, which was a 30-inch display with a 2560x1600 resolution. I've always been a fan...
ASUS' PDB278Q monitor is a great choice for gamers, business users, or anyone who wants the best possible image quality from a reasonably-priced monitor. It has a few good preset modes, is well built, and has useful features. It's not perfect, but it's a...

The Asus PB278Q offers a sharp extreme-definition screen, rich color, accurate presets, and useful ergonomic options at a good price
The monitor lacks USB inputs and its swivel mechanism is poorly implemented
Well-priced and powerful, the Asus PB278Q is the best entry point for those seeking an extreme-definition monitor at a not-so-extreme price....
PLS screen has great viewing angles. Matte screen without sparkling anti-glare. Full range of adjustments for the stand
Light bleed shouldn't be an issue on a panel like this. Mode switching on HDMI makes the monitor think there is no signal. Slight banding across gradients. High power consumption in standby and off modes
Asus' PB278Q is quite nice indeed for the price, offering a no-frills premium panel for those who are looking to save pennies....
In many ways the PB278Q is a perfectly capable monitor with a ton of potential should someone be willing to properly calibrate it. The effort has been made to provide enthusiasts with a drool worthy blend of performance, resolution and size but ultimat...

Great colour quality, Display isn't reflective, Lots of video ports, Ergonomic stand
A touch pricey, Lack of USB ports
While not as stylish as the Samsung Series 9, the Asus PB278Q offers the same strong colour and viewing angle performance for around £250 less, and it has a highly adjustable stand and an audio input, both of which are missing from the Series 9. The Ser...
