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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great general purpose monitor with one caveat.

In general this is a good general purpose monitor. This is your permanent 1920x1080 monitor with a nice matte screen. However, colors are very strong and everything still looks good when the brightness is lowered (I use it in a darker office, for example). Additional HDMI ports and a display port are a big plus in my opinion. I'll probably rarely use them, but it's nice to have on hand if I ever need a fast connection. I wouldn't mind a DVI connection, but that gets choosy. In any case, most GPUs have either HDMI or DP! Turning on the speakers is good. I let them play for a while and that was enough. Speakers are included as standard as they sound terrible, but like HDMI I like that they are included. Now only if it had an audio output so I could connect other speakers, but then again that's getting fussy. I would like to say that my only complaint is the kickstand. As some others have mentioned, it's very shaky. Depending on your desktop situation, this may or may not be notified. I have a table with a glass top and rather narrow legs. But at worst, there are replacement stands for around $30.

Pros
  • Use it for home audio workstation, works great
Cons
  • Good picture, but miserable speaker sound.
