Only minor downside with this monitor is it came out of the package with poor picture settings. I had to tinker with the settings way more with this one than with any other one I ever had prior by a long shot but this is again a minor downside. Once you get it dialed in you won't have to deal with it again. I started by choosing a preset setting that looked closest to how I had my old monitor was set up and then went from there. Expect this process to take a day or two as you adjust it to your surroundings and your eyes. For me brightness had to be toned down quite a lot, and the Trace Free setting needs to be dropped to 40 or below otherwise you will have ghosting/blurring issues with text when scrolling or browsing online. This is an issue I never knew about because I never had a monitor that could go faster than 60hz, so hopefully I save someone some time on that.
It has actual buttons you have to press in, not those crappy tactile sensors you touch on accident and the monitor shuts off. Color quality is not quite as good as an IPS screen but it's still very good, the higher refresh rate makes up for the barely noticeable loss in color and if you take the time with your settings you will never notice it. Viewing angle is much larger than any of my previous Acer IPS monitors (but those were in a completely different price range at either $90 or $120 for 22in and 24in) and my wife has no problems looking at something on my screen even from a very oblique angle.
Very happy with this purchase as long as the monitor doesn't break down. I care for my equipment and protect it with quality surge protectors, proper maintenance and cleaning etc. I still have computers and monitors from the early 90's working in my basement. The only reason things die on me is hardware fault from the manufacturer such as a bad solder working loose on it's own or age-related stress such as fan bearings getting old and hard-drives which are essentially time bombs holding your data hostage. I will take proper care of this monitor and will update this review in the future if there are any problems or give an update if it's still running as it should.
The monitor has a sleek and modern design, with a slim bezel and a fully adjustable stand that allows for easy customization. The ASUS VG278QR also has a variety of gaming presets, including FPS and RTS, that can be easily accessed via the on-screen display.
One of the best features of this monitor is the Eye Care technology, it helps to reduce eye strain and fatigue, which is especially useful for long gaming sessions.
Overall, the ASUS VG278QR is an excellent gaming monitor that offers high-performance and a smooth gaming experience. The design and features are top-notch and it's a great option for competitive gamers who want a high-performance monitor that will meet all their needs.
Not sure if I just got unlucky or what. I would buy another just to see. For the price and the amazing quality, I really can't complain. But it did take me a couple weeks to get over it.
I understand this is due to the type and quality of the displays, which are way superior to either of my older monitors, but it seems my system takes longer to get to the desktop with these monitors and that is a bit frustrating.
However, having two matching monitors with awesome graphics, colors, and refresh rates is worth the wait. Both my older monitors ran at 60hz whereas these run at 165hz. My Hp was DVI and my LG HDMI, these run DP. I wonder if this could account for the longer load time? IDK.
Next, the controls are on the back of the right edge of the monitor, which is cool, kind of. They are large so easy to get to and use, however, running 2 monitors butted up against each other makes it difficult to get to the controls of the left monitor. Which means you have to move the monitor to adjust it then you get to mess with the alignment of both monitors to get the screens realigned...... which is a real chore because....
These monitors are hyper positional. They rotate, tilt, swivel, go up and down, pretty much any position or angle you want with great ease, which is great for getting them just right...... but can be a booger when trying to get two of them perfectly aligned. But once you get the set up perfect, they are sleek, sexy, and have gorgeous graphics, perfect in every way......... until you need to adjust the controls on that left monitor again.....
All in all, great monitors for a great price would highly recommend. Just understand that setting up a dual, or more, monitor system can take extra time. But it is worth it in the end.
