Best monitors for a triple screen setup

If you're 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 adjust 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.

This is definitely one of the best visualizations I've seen.

Unbelievable! I have bought 2 more monitors in the last 2 months and sent them back as they were faulty or broken when delivered. This is definitely one of the best visualizations I've seen. This is the clearest screen I've ever seen. Customization is also amazing. I can make every aspect of an image my own. EXACTLY how I like it. The best monitor for its price. Thanks

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. Not everything is as good as written.

The second monitor suits me

My main monitor is a 34 inch ultra widescreen monitor. This Asus monitor is my secondary monitor on which I do things like stream video, browse the web, view Rainmeter status, and multiple messaging windows when my main monitor is used for work. I like the size due to the fact that the vertical size is almost identical to the main 21:9 monitor. I have absolutely no complaints about that.

This monitor does the job for me. I don't use peripheral functions like speakers and USB ports. But I love the look and feel of this monitor and the quality is still there.

Great monitor: my review

I have a 27" LG and a 27" Acer and this is by far the best. I have no idea why people are complaining about the blurry text. I didn't even change any settings so it's right out of the box. I am using a displayport cable with this monitor. This is the first monitor I've ever seen that includes all types of cables it can use. I would definitely buy again.

Great monitors, great price.

Bought 3 of these to set up a triple monitor over Displayport. I just have to say WOW! Great monitors, love them. Very bright, bright and happy. UPDATE September 3, 2015: OK, I've had them for about 6 months now and they're still working great. The picture is very good, games are fun and having three monitors is fantastic. However, monitors are highly recommended. My only complaint is that they are hot. They get hot and feel very warm. And with them in the 12x12 office at my house, they heat up

Very good screen and I'm glad it's both.

Very good screen and I'm glad it's VESA mountable and has a thin bezel. Please note that the included power and HDMI/DVI cables are very short (about 3 feet). For my dual monitor setup, the tower was placed directly to the left of the monitors and the power splitter was placed to the left of the tower. The included power cord for the right monitor didn't reach the extension cord and the HDMI-DVI cable barely reached the tower. The only way a dual monitor setup would work with the included…

Terrible light spots - returned for another ASUS model

Decided to buy a second monitor. I really like the Asus brand and it matches the frame of my other Asus gaming monitor. Unfortunately, the monitor arrived with very strong light spots/bleeding. Asus customer service wasn't very helpful so I just returned it for the Asus PB277Q which I'm VERY happy with. To be honest I don't recommend this product due to light bleeding. Instead, I recommend a 1440p monitor like the PB277Q as it looks a lot better and gives you more space to work in Windows…

Good screen but could use the rotating function.

I really like it, but the base does NOT rotate/rotate the screen, contrary to one of the answers to the question here. I Pivot Base is great for reading long doxes.

Good display for the price, but who likes to see pixels.

I should have known better but it's too big to be 1080p anymore. Its my fault. EDIT: Upgraded one star (from 3 to 4) to clarify that I like the display for the price but don't like looking at visible pixels.

Great monitor for the office

I use this as a 2nd monitor (two monitors) for my home office. Although my primary monitor is used for gaming due to its performance and responsiveness, this is a great second monitor for my office setup. No dead pixels, great colors and brightness! I am happy with the quality for the price.

Bigger and brighter, but difficult to match colors

I like the larger size which eliminates the need for dual monitors. It's bright but it's been working for me for a month now and neither the native menu (horrible) nor Windows 10 can adjust the colors properly. I still see either a red cast or a green cast when I look away, depending on which of the opposing colors predominates. In addition, the image is not as sharp as other monitors with this resolution. Maybe there's a setting I can't find or get right, but I've gone through the native menu…

Exactly what my 45 year old eyes need for dual monitor work on spreadsheets, text documents and CAD drawings. Had a 24 inch model but couldn't work comfortably all day. Switching to 27 did the trick and the thin bezel is fantastic. I would buy more of these if I had other computers that I work on regularly. I use Win7 Pro DPI scaling up to 125% and now I can sit a comfortable distance from the screens and work comfortably all day. With the 24" I've always leaned forward, which isn't a good…

Works great for VESA installation

There aren't many reviews (on the internet) of this device and as I was looking to replace my 27 inch monitor with a smaller frame this seemed like the perfect fit. Since the AMVA+ panels seem to get good reviews from reputable message boards, I decided to get one on a whim. First, there are differences in device runtimes, and even with that in mind, this isn't the best module for those who don't like calibrating it perfectly. However, once I got the settings to my liking, I was very impressed…

One of two DOAs - unstable on the table

At first I was so excited to put two of these items on my desktop. Almost straight out of the box. A monitor seemed to work very well. The other one wouldn't load no matter what I tried. The biggest complaint is that this monitor is very unstable. The sundial mount makes the monitor wobble when the table is moved slightly. I would have preferred a stronger (possibly two connection points to the monitor) connection. With a VESA mount this is of course not a problem. I also found that one monitor

Pretty disappointed. Revain lists this product as (and priced) as an LED monitor. This monitor came up in my search when I filtered it for "LED". The package arrived today and the box clearly says 27" LCD monitor. I was so surprised I opened the box to check the monitor just to be sure. I looked at the label on the back of the monitor, it said model #279Q LCD Monitor The monitor had such good reviews that I was thrilled with this monitor as it had everything I was looking for However I am…
