Review on πŸ”΅ High-Resolution Asus 27IN 1920X1080 1MS VP278QG 75Hz Monitor with Blue Light Filter, Flicker-Free Technology, and Built-In Speakers by Jaewon Goode

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Windows 10 screen default is 60Hz, you need to manually set it to 75Hz mode.

well i had my last asus monitor in operation for more than 5 years (22 inch). decided to buy this one (27 inch). I'm not very impressed. NO dead pixels, don't know what the pixel pitch is but it seems to be more than the advertised 0.311mm. The blue color is not as deep and rich as my other Asus monitor. and no, I don't have blue filtering, there is a backlight at the top and bottom. The default display setting for Windows is 60Hz, you need to manually set the mode to 75Hz. I'm not sure if the monitor reports Windows10 incorrectly. or is it a windows10 thing, expect 15+ minutes to set this monitor up so it's not too bright and gamma/saturation and color are closer to what they should be. The only mode that is good by default is Theater mode, and it's only good for movies. I couldn't set a mode that is good for all things (windows, web surfing, typing documents, games and movies), my old Asus monitor can do all these things perfectly WITHOUT changing the mode. maybe this monitor can do that too, but I haven't found the optimal place yet (for all modes). All of this may sound bad, but it isn't. I got what I paid for. If I wanted better, I would have to spend more! It got 3 stars, not because of cost or quality, but because I have yet to find the right settings for all modes without having to change modes every time I want to do something different (ie: watch a movie, then want to play a game, I need to switch modes (I don't like doing that))

Pros
  • I use this monitor with my Xbox Series X. Great monitor for the price.
Cons
  • Tight color palette
