Great monitor for the price but don't buy because of the discount

This is a great monitor for its price range. I have an older ASUS VN289H and both are side by side. The VN279Q is crisper, sharper and has much less eye flare. I highly recommend this monitor. I'm leaving 3 stats because the ASUS monitor discount program is a joke. The discount was denied because I allegedly did not include all of the original barcodes when in fact I did provide all of them as they were not all clearly marked. The entire program is designed to defer or reject as many…

Great picture but weak speakers.

Picture quality is great, but it would be nice if the speakers were at least as loud as my phone's weak speaker. That's my review.

Best monitors for a triple screen setup

If you are looking for a triple screen monitor, look no further. The very small bezel of this monitor makes it look amazing. Good colors and many settings make it easy to customize the monitor to your liking. The menus require some work, but once you've got everything set up, you still don't need to change anything.

6 years later and still going strong

It took me a long time to get to this review but I have to say this was one of my best purchases. As of this writing it has been almost 6 years since I bought 2 of these monitors and they still work like new. I use them 5 days a week, at least 12 hours a day and they have proven that quality is still there. Thank you ASUS!

Great monitor at an affordable price

absolutely love it. I have 2 of these monitors (the first one I've had for about 7 months and the second one I just bought) and the display is amazing. If there were one complaint it would be that the stand only allows you to tilt the screen. The height is fixed. No problem if you can get it the way you want it. Otherwise I can only praise these monitors. I'm not a brand person, but with the exception of the Asus A7 series motherboards, I've been very happy with every Asus product I've ever…

Great for setting up multiple screens! 4 year update

Very good value for money, sold it and got $30 off. I use this for my three monitor setup and it looks great. Very thin bezel and very clear quality. Pros: Excellent image quality. The thin frame is ideal for a multi-monitor setup. east to set the stand. The buttons on the back allow for a slim bezel. I've noticed a slight tilt from having more of it, but it's easy to fix by leaning the other against it to match the other. that's great, just FYI. I don't personally use them, but just in case…

Great monitor, suits me

I bought three of these and they all work great in Eyefinity. The picture is excellent and has many presets for different settings. I like very thin bezels. Just be careful if you're getting more than one monitor, or if that monitor is far from your PC, the cables that come with it are pretty short, about 4 1/2 feet. I had to buy several cables, but this is only an indirect minus. I used the speakers briefly in one of these monitors just to test and it's not bad, I wasn't expecting much. It's…

Reliable performance monitor. Very satisfied!

I agree with many reviews, there is nothing more to say. I've had them for almost 2 years (bought January 2, 2018) and they work very well. I'm an ASUS fan, I've had several products from them and they all performed excellently. My computer is basically an ASUS computer and this is by design. I do everything that is usual for PC and play a little. This monitor cuts a fine figure in any situation. I can't wait to launch RDR2 in November. I turn the graphics to ultra and drive! The only thing…

Reset and turn on. in my rating

This product "resets" periodically, for example, I lose the image on the screen, I get a blue screen and it comes back. I connected it to my laptop for everyday use. Aggravating. I wrote to Asus but didn't get a reply.

Not for children or dark places

This is a pretty good monitor with good viewing angles, colors and contrast. However, there is a high-pitched hum that doesn't bother me much as I can hardly hear the sound at the moment, but it can be very annoying for children and young people. Adults (I believe 11kHz). The howling gets louder as the brightness decreases. I'm also not sure if it doesn't flicker. At low brightness, slow motion shows some light/black bars scanning the screen. With normal 30fps video, the brightness sometimes…

You get what you pay for:

I've tried to settle for a similar monitor that was over $100 cheaper than this one and have had to deal with some pretty horrible ghosting and the hassle of repackaging and sending it back. Do yourself a favor and spend a little to get what you really want. I was very happy with the image quality with basic editing for music production and video viewing (TV shows, music videos like Carpenter Brut - Turbo Killer). I use the DisplayPort features that this monitor offers without any problems.

Do you think ASUS deserves respect? Think again...

I used to think that ASUS is a respected company. I think times are changing. I bought two of these monitors during Black Friday. They came up with promises of $30 off per monitor. You provide the following required documents to get the discount. • Signed rebate form • Copy of receipt/invoice or packing slip • Original UPC/serial number barcode label. All were sent to them. They denied this on the grounds that neither a copy of the receipt/invoice nor a packing slip was enclosed. However, this…

Great picture, lots of settings to choose from

Nice clear colors, vibrant, lots of modes and settings to get the exact picture you want. The speakers aren't bad, but they're a bit quiet, but that's not why I bought them (I didn't even know they were built-in).

and the VESA mount makes it a good choice for multiple displays

For its price (which was 236 for me) this is a really great display. Its narrow bezel and VESA mount make it a good choice for multiple displays. It's worth noting that this monitor uses an AMVA+ panel instead of the more common AH-IPS panel for wide-viewing-angle monitors. Compared to an IPS in the same price range as mine, it has darker, more even blacks (while many cheap IPS monitors have glare issues), but color distortion is more noticeable at different viewing angles. If you're more…

Turn off VividPixel, you will be very happy with this monitor!

I'm a computer scientist and I work 8 hours a day in front of 9 27" monitors. I have several Samsung monitors (S27D390 - PLS type) and now also VN279Q. Unhappy with Samsung's picture (small 1/8 inch shadow on right edge ), I was hoping ASUS would be better. I "wanted" to send them back due to poor "text" quality and found the "VividPixel" setting (default is 25). and... wow! This is a GREAT monitor. The black levels are impressive. , text is clear with no noticeable highlights, WAY better than…

No holes for wall mounting

I was surprised that there is no way to mount this screen with a wall mount. The rest of the monitor was fine. Best for work and play with Full HD 1080p visual quality and 178° ultra wide viewing angle AMVA+ panel. Built-in hidden stereo speakers enable audio enjoyment together with true-to-life visual.

Great IPS monitor for the price.

I've been using Asus monitors for quite some time and they've never let me down (or not). It's not the best IPS monitor you can find on the market, but it makes an excellent second/third monitor in any configuration. There are noticeable blowouts, but I don't notice it that often, even when playing videos.

Ideal for chronically dry eyes!

They're great for people with chronic dry eyes who find themselves staring at a screen for long periods of time! I used to connect my PS4 to my TV to play games but it was very taxing on my eyes and giving me a terrible headache. Since switching to this monitor for gaming I have had no issues with glare and can game for hours!
