Review on Asus VN279Q 1080p DisplayPort Monitor with 60Hz Refresh Rate for Improved SEO. by Earl Holland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic alternative to ASUS MX279H with VESA mount

I just bought two of these ASUS VN279Q monitors for a dual monitor desktop setup. I also have an ASUS MX279H; I like its display, its silver frame, but unfortunately no VESA mount! I found this guy while looking for VESA mounts. For the price, this monitor can't be beat. Bright, crisp, lightweight, pretty much everything you'd expect from a standard monitor. I don't game but the photos, movies and everyday MS Office stuff looks amazing. I also found that I like the handling even better than the MX279H. The VN279Q buttons are actual physical buttons - the MX has these crazy touch elements that I accidentally keep pressing. Combine them with the $35 VIVO Curved Horizontal Array Dual Monitor Desk Mount (STAND-V002E) and I'm good to go. One note: if you mount them with a VESA mount, don't repeat my mistake. The screw holes (M4 screws, BTW) will be covered with these little rubber inserts. There is NOTHING in the documentation that tells you what screws to use or that there are those little knobs. I must have wasted an hour trying to get the screws out without damaging the monitor. Frustrated, I jabbed at him with my pencil to see what it was, and bang! A small rubber button comes out, revealing a simple M4 screw attachment. sigh. Documentation much Asus?
