Designed for Work and Play

ASUS PB278Q is uniquely designed for work and play. The 27" WQHD resolution with panel packs extra multitasking space to fit more windows and projects on-screen. PB258Q features ASUS EyeCare Technology allowing you to work and play for longer periods of time without eyestrain.

Features at a Glance

  • 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 Resolution
  • IPS Panel for 178° wide viewing angles and 100% sRGB color gamut
  • HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D and VGA (D-Sub) Connectivity
  • VESA Mount Compatible for Wall and Monitor Arm Mounts
  • ASUS EyeCare Technology

Features

More is Better

Featuring a 27” WQHD 2560 x 1440 panel with 109 pixels per inch giving you the benefits of greater image detail and up to 77% more onscreen desktop space than standard Full HD (1920 x 1080) displays. These minor details add up to give you a major productivity/ in-game advantage.

IPS Technology

ASUS PB278Q gives you superior images with lifelike colors thanks to 100% sRGB color gamut. The IPS panel provides wide 178-degree viewing angles for minimal distortion and color shift even when you're viewing it from extreme angles.

Splendid Video Modes

Splendid Video Intelligence Technology enhances color, brightness, contrast, and sharpness to provide optimal viewing. 6 preset video modes (Scenery, Theater, Game, Night View, sRGB and Standard) can be selected via onboard monitor menu.

ASUS EyeCare Flicker-Free Technology

Flicker is caused by the rapid on/off cycle of the LED backlight as it tried to maintain the brightness of the display. It constantly bombards the eye with varying levels of brightness which causes fatigue and strain as your eye tries to adjust. Certified flicker-free by TUV Rheinland laboratories, the PB278Q removes onscreen flicker by using Smart Dynamic Backlight Adjustment.

Ergonomic Stand

The PB278Q also has an ergonomically-designed stand with tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment so you can always find that ideal viewing position.

VESA Mountable

The PB278Q is VESA mountable (100 x 100mm) with an easily detachable base. This flexibility is accented by its slim design and clean look, making it an unobtrusive placement wherever desired.


ASUS Warranty

All ASUS Monitors come with a 3-Year warranty and ASUS Rapid Replacement service offering free 2-way cross-shipping that swaps any verified defective monitor with a replacement before you send it back.

PCMag's Reader's Choice Award Winner

A review of a 1440p monitor in a world filled with 4k.
4 Stars
A review of a 1440p monitor in a world filled with 4k.
In 2015, 4K is all the rage. There are plenty of displays coming in at a similar price or even less than the PB278Q! Why would I choose this one?I am using this monitor for multiple purposes, and I'm guessing that you can relate to one of them.First off - I have this monitor connected to both a PC gaming rig and a Macbook Pro Retina, using both daily.// Graphics/coding/general use (Macbook Pro Retina connected via HDMI):- The screen real estate is great. Of course, a 4k monitor would be better, but 1440p is a great compromise between 4k and 1080p.- Colors look great. I don't need a perfectly calibrated monitor, but I wanted something better than a TN panel.I am using the sRGB preset, good enough for me! There are calibrated color profiles and monitor presets floating around the net, but having the brightness so low is painful.- The built-in speakers are boomy sounding when listening to music, but work darn good for watching videos.They don't distort, and get plenty loud! My only gripe is that volume can't be directly controlled through the OS (I think this is a HDMI issue).- OS X looks fine, no scaling for me.Even using a 'retina' display, the pixel density looks great (sitting 2.5ft away)-------------// Gaming/more general use (PC connected through DVI):So before this monitor, I have been using the Asus VG248QE 144hz monitor. It's 1080p, TN panel, meant for gaming.Games LOOK great. Seriously, the monitor is beautiful. When I hoped in to some CS:GO, it almost looked like I had SweetFX on! The washed out colors of the TN panel vs the rich colors of the PLS panel are no comparison.But do games FEEL great? Nope. Not if you've been spoiled by 144hz, 1ms glory. Will I get used to it? I don't know. I have the 144hz sitting in a box, tempted to set it up again for FPS games.This is not a gaming monitor. It is a great monitor, which can be used for gaming. My 780Ti holds 60fps in most games I've tried with my old settings.- Games look great as I explained above- 60hz is painful. Tried overclocking it &#62; got to 90hz &#62; tested for frame skipping &#62; disgustingly bad &#62; repeat -10hz &#62; same results.- Windows looks fine, text isn't too tiny. Again, no scaling.------------I love this monitor, but it isn't without it's flaws.- This IS light bleed. I've attached a photo of it, but I assure you with 100% honesty that it is NOT noticeable and looks much worse in the photo.At first, I couldn't even tell if this was light bleed or not. Looks more like color shift from looking at a weird angle. It's fine. I was worried about it before I bought the monitor as well.- Menu is kinda weird. It' okay, but could be much better (steal LG's joystick, Asus).The only thing preventing me from 5 stars is the light bleed. It's not a big deal, but this is a decently priced monitor.Overall - great monitor. Enough real estate to spread out, not enough pixel to make your PC sweat and struggle while gaming.Sorry about the long review, but when I'm wanting a new gadget, I love read them!Oh also, to the person giving ONE STAR because the &#34;ports in the back are horribly designed and inaccessible&#34; -- I've used every input type on this monitor and fit every cable perfectly fine.
