Review on ASUS VG278QR: Experience Ultimate Gaming with Compatible ๐ŸŽฎ DisplayPort, 165Hz Refresh Rate, Low Blue Light, and More! by Jonathan Foreman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's good though. TO BE INTELLIGENT

READ TO THE END! I am very happy with this monitor. I ordered it before my computer arrived so I tested it on my old computer. The first one I got had a dead pixel. Nothing special. So I contacted the returns team and was able to exchange it. Despite reading reviews, the monitor should have an updated refresh rate. So I went to change mine and lo and behold. The problem is this. This monitor is advertised at 165Hz (same as another monitor I bought from another site). However, this monitor only reached 120 Hz, which is a difference of 45 Hz. I would return it and buy a monitor for other sites but I've already thrown the box away and it's not worth the hassle. I notice a difference between my two monitors. Asus monitors. The Revain I bought stretches further than the other, so it's a small win for this monitor. Like the color change. When I try to change it to the same desired color to match the Revain monitor, it looks more like a nighttime light yellow tint. No problem, but very strange. I'm only keeping it because I don't want to trade it. I might even switch my monitors to play at 165Hz. Update: If you want your 165hz or at least 164.92hz to be smart (I can't), try connecting to the display port again. HDMI can only go so far.

Pros
  • very good
Cons
  • The monitor only works in black and white mode.
