ASUS Designo MX27UC Type C Monitor - Adaptive 50Hz, Flicker-Free, Blue Light, Frameless, HD, 4K Display Review

I've had this monitor for about 6 months. I bought this after trying a Samsung 32 inch curved monitor. Samsung didn't work well with my new Mac Mini (text didn't scale properly) and after a bit of research I settled on this monitor after reviewing LG's 5k monitors. The video performance of the monitor was excellent. I'm an audio/video design engineer and have experience with virtually every type of large monitor available. The Mac Mini drives the display easily via the Thunderbolt 3 ports. I…

UPDATE (5/29/2017) I received my second replacement today and it also seems to have screen bleeding. In addition, it also has defective internal components. After switching on in full screen mode, random vertical lines appeared in a different color every time. At first I thought it was my graphics card but I also tried it with my Apple Tv and it did the same thing where I had to reset the monitor every time it happened. I told Revain and they told me that they make Andon Corde, which means that

I bought this monitor to use with my PS4 Pro for 4K gaming. When I first used the monitor, I had problems right from the start. The monitor flickered randomly throughout the game. I contacted Revain and we did a replacement which was quick and painless. I've had the monitor for a little over a year now and I'm noticing bleeding in all four corners of the monitor and I can also see bleeding a little on the left side. The picture above shows it's even worse. 3 year monitor warranty. I contacted…

I bought 2 of these monitors and I liked the picture quality on both, but there are 2 complaints: 1. The USB-C port is not connected well. On both monitors, the port failed and no longer works.2. No VESA mount. I knew this when I bought the monitors but at this price point it's a little disappointing. After a few years I wanted to install a desktop mount and found that to do so I would have to replace the monitors.

The most vivid colors and the least amount of IPS glow I've seen. This was my second 4k replacement, although I bought it used the description was in new car condition. I was concerned when I saw the box, but when I opened it it didn't even look like it had been touched. If, like me, you're looking to replace your TN panel, this monitor is for you. I rated the sound quality as poor because I have a 7.1 surround sound system on my PC so I really can't judge the sound quality after the mess…

Got a really big discount on this monitor and just had to buy it. When I'm working from home, I can view two documents side-by-side, but it wasn't easy to install. I needed my IT department to set it up and they had to download software etc to make it work. I only have two complaints about this monitor: (1) it's really bright. I've tried turning the brightness down and no matter what I do, it's still very bright; and (2) the monitor is very short and cannot be lifted. That means you have to…

This monitor has excellent picture quality, everything looks very detailed. 2 problems 1 downside is the power button under the monitor, it sits right on the edges of the back and front of the monitor and is sticky at times, you have to get my ifixit pick to get it out sometimes. Certainly a quality control issue. Another fact is that this monitor is not VESA compatible. There are many adapters for other MX models but not for MX27UC. If you are planning to install VESA, stay away from this…

I bought it to use with my new 2016 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar as it allows USB-C input. On a job change I tried it with my old 2016 15" MBP (with touchpad) and it worked great. I was disappointed when my new MBP arrived and I can't connect to Type C. I ended up with a USB -Bought and used a C to DisplayPort adapter but now the USB ports on the back don't work I remember reading that the graphics cards are different in the two MBPs so I think the 13" monitor is not compatible with the…

Nice monitor inside and out. ASUS has really thought of everything. For the price this is a great monitor. I like that it has multiple inputs of different types and built-in speakers. We use it on 2018 MacMini and older laptops. For example, it retains its 4K resolution as a second monitor even when connected via the Mini DisplayPort of a mid-2010 17-inch MacBook Pro. The frameless frame is beautiful and the metal used is durable. The only downside is that the A/C adapter is a big rock, so you…

The monitor itself is decent. The workmanship looks a little cheap, but the image quality is excellent. About a year later, I started bleeding from the edges and sent it to ASUS for repair. The monitor came back with the display fixed but with the base cracked (perhaps damaged in transit) so the monitor was wobbly. So I had to send it back after speaking to ASUS representatives for several hours to explain the problem. When he returned the second time, the base was exactly the same. Now I have…

Not a computer expert. The stand is fine but would have liked to see height adjustment. The setup differs from the replaced Asus Pro Art HDMI. Finally set up. Power and connection to computer is different from Pro Art. In Control Panel/Device Manager/Monitor it shows as General. The correct driver is Generic PnP Monitor. I checked with ASUS. I tested the monitor with different settings, but the default mode works best. I used the default mode from the monitor settings and then adjusted the…

I really like this monitor. It's smooth and beautiful. The picture is very clear and I connected it to my Mac via DisplayPort. I ran into an issue that actually forced me to return this monitor. but i found a way The problem is that after a few weeks of use on an XBox at 4K, you get a "flickering" black screen. In fact, the screen goes black for a few seconds and then comes back. This will really confuse you when playing online, especially in a battle royale game! I've tried everything. I've…

I wish I could read the reviews first, this monitor 1 can only be mounted with the included stand. Such a big downside is that there's no real adjustment other than forward or backward. The people who want to buy these guys are gamers and without a Vesa mount it's a flop, don't waste your money here. Asus, if you are reading this, fire the designer and never make a monitor that cannot be seriously assembled. I will not buy another monitor for fear of repeating that from you guys.

These are reliable monitors. I have 2 on a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (2018) with 4K resolution. If you want to do this, I've found that only ONE can handle USB-C/Thunderbolt and the other needs to run Thunderbolt-to-HDMI. You can get cables for that here at Revain which work great. With this setting there are no problems. I tried connecting both via USB-C but didn't like it. The connection kept dropping and the laptop crashed several times. No problem with a USB-C and an HDMI. The color…

I was looking for a monitor with a USB Type-C display port. I started with LG and while it was fine, it had a red bar on the left side and the sound was awful (didn't mimic my laptop sound). So I bought the MX27UC. So far this works fine. I used the Type-C cable they provided for my laptop and it worked fine. I'm trying my custom Type-C certified cable (since I bought it because I wasn't sure if it came from USB C to USB C). So far everything is working fine. The only thing they gave me was the

I really wanted to keep this monitor. The picture quality is wonderful. Unfortunately I have this flickering that doesn't seem to go away. Tried on different monitors with different graphics cards. Tried with different drivers and different resolutions. Also, this monitor does not include a standard VESA mount. I bought a mounting adapter that others often buy with this monitor and it's not really compatible. I had to go to a hardware store and buy a separate screw long enough for the adapter…

I've had this monitor for a little over two years now and it has served me well so far. I have an HDMI port and a USB-C port connected to two laptops and I switch inputs with the bottom right buttons. Here are the problems: 1. The buttons in the lower right corner have stopped working for a week. I can't adjust screen brightness, volume, display settings, etc. Therefore, there is no control over volume, brightness, etc.2. The monitor is connected to the surge protection strap. When I turn on…

Image quality is good and I like that there are no sleep/wake issues on my MacBook Pro as it works seamlessly with it. I tried LG and was frustrated that the monitor would turn off when my MacBook's screen went to sleep, causing my MacBook to change screen resolutions back and forth, causing strange behavior in some programs. But this ASUS doesn't do that, which is sooooo nice! True, from time to time the screen flashes randomly - a kind of glitch I've never seen before. I should check with…

So first I want to go out there and say that I bought this upgraded monitor for $100 less and I don't regret it at all. When I received the monitor it was in perfect condition and well packaged. Image quality is excellent when connected to my MacBook Pro via USB-C. That's where the problems come in. When you connect a monitor via USB-C to the rear, it's very sensitive, which means it needs to be in the perfect spot to receive the connection. This can get pretty annoying. The other issue is that

This is a beautiful ad. Not a single dead pixel, colors are nice, fonts are clear on my Mac Mini's native settings. However, it's not adjustable, which hurts your back (or neck), so you'll need a stand for it. It doesn't have a VESA mount (WTF?), and the adjustment buttons were clearly designed by someone who's never used a monitor in their life (WTF? ten times). Considering these are no minor annoyances, the fact that I didn't deduct a single star is a testament to how good the display looks…
