Review on 🖥️ ASUS Designo MX27AQ 2560X1440 Frameless Monitor: Sleek & Stunning Display by Sean Belcher

Beautiful (actually stunning) colors with gradations, tints, nuances and detail unmatched by any other monitor before, including (today) the HP ZR30w they sit next to. In fact, that's the only problem: the MX27AQ makes the ZR30w - a professional 2560x1600 monitor - look blurry and dirty by comparison. Bought two for a triple array and the shipment arrived on time and in perfect condition. The bezel is very narrow and perfect for a multi-monitor setup. The base is metal, solid and durable, and installation is a single screw with a slot for coins - it couldn't be simpler. The screw even has a hinged wire loop that's easy to tighten by hand - no screwdriver needed. The labels for the setting and adjustment control buttons appear on the screen as the buttons are pressed. The configuration is actually pretty intuitive once you get used to it. Don't look for dead pixels once new monitors have been turned on. As previously mentioned, the "liquid" in some brand new LCD pixel cells may not be fully distributed, resulting in very few pixel DOA appearing at times. There are several online sites (e.g. http://flexcode.org/lcd2.html) that you can use to quickly troubleshoot and that contain a program that will "check" all the pixels. After following the recommendations and starting the monitors for a while, three or four initially dark pixels came to life and never reappeared. Conclusion: NO DEAD PIXELS. One issue has already been addressed: while both MX27AQs delivered a flawless 2560 x 1440 resolution when using Displayport and Displayport cables, 1080p was the highest resolution available over HDMI. And that when using a direct HDMI cable - without an adapter. Since this was the case with both the MX27AQ and MX27AQ, and a quick search revealed similar issues with other brand 1440 monitors, it appears that the issue is with the HDMI configuration standard and NOT the monitor. (Tested configuration --> Asus MX27AQ, 1m HDMI Monster "Hi Speed" cable, Nvidia GTX680 graphics card with latest driver update (probably supports HDMI 1.3 standard), Mac Pro (Early 2008) with Yosemite 10.10.5.) 4K over HDMI 2.0 is coming soon, so HDMI 2560x1440 should be an option. But it doesn't seem to be
