What customers say about "Display"
ASUS VG278Q Gaming Monitor
  • These TN panels don't have the greatest color or contrast, but they feature some of the fastest G2G response times available.
  • The quality for a TN panel was quite surprising as I expected the worst.
  • Love the colors. With a little adjustment to R/G/B I was able to get very bright and vibrant colors.
  • The colors are terrible! Even with tweaking the settings that are necessary to get a good picture.
  • Color is good but not vivid due to blue light filter.
ASUS VG275Q Gaming Monitor
  • The viewing angles are surprisingly better than expected and with better color representation than other TN panels I've used.
  • Out of the box the picture is very good.
  • White backgrounds really make the bad viewing angles stand out.
  • The TN display is what I expected: the viewing angles aren't the greatest, glare can be bad, and color accuracy isn't great but can be improved.
  • The colours are washed down, the blues and reds have no sharpness at all.

What customers say about "Features"
ASUS VG278Q Gaming Monitor
  • This monitor is advertised as Free sync/Adaptive sync, but apparently also is now magically G-Sync compatible as well.
  • Tilt and angle are also great. Screen can be raised pretty high with the base and the built in cable management slots are very nice.
  • I liked how smooth everything felt due to the gsync (which worked fine) and 144hz.
  • Sound is weak from the tiny speakers in back, and they are facing away from the user.
  • I do not like the menu navigation because of the buttons placement.
ASUS VG275Q Gaming Monitor
  • The joystick display toggle is a neat feature which makes navigating the display menu/settings simple.
  • The monitor has a sturdy, very adjustable stand.
  • It has full tilt(both directions) unlike most monitors only tilting one direction.
  • It has swivel pivot and multiple height adjustments. You can position this monitor in almost every conceivable position.
  • The monitor has a very nice premium look/design, with a thin bezel and an all matte black finish, not cheap looking shiny plastics.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
ASUS VG278Q Gaming Monitor
  • Easily connect with my Xbox One X with HDMI and works flawlessly.
  • I used the included displayport cable, and was able to set 144 Mhz with no issues.
  • At first I thought sound required a second cable to monitor, but it can play through displayport cable.
  • The screen came with cables and lot off connections ports, so that’s a great plus.
  • I connected an MSI GS63VR 7RF Stealth Pro gaming laptop with a GTX 1060 in it and it runs the monitor at 144Hz just fine at High/Ultra settings.
ASUS VG275Q Gaming Monitor
  • The dual HDMI inputs are perfect for multi-console or console/pc setups.
  • A very nice gaming monitor for a decent price. An affordable solution to those wanting a multi-display setup.
  • Lots of ports: 1 VGA, 2 HDMI, and 1 DisplayPort. It's amazing.
  • Dual HDMI is very useful. I plugged my Xbox into this monitor using the extra HDMI plugin and starting playing on that as well.
  • This is a fine device which makes short time of connecting my laptop to my Hi Res desktop monitor.
