I was looking for something that works well on an MacBook Retina running Windows 7 in Bootcamp and did not want to spend the money for the Apple monitor. I found the HDMI cable included in the box supported the full 2560 x 1440. I also loved the fact that you can rotate the screen.

This is another display from Asus which makes for a great offering at a price that won't empty your wallet. First, it offers great 2k (2560x1440) resolution for ultra sharp, off-center viewing with a one hundred seventy-eight degree viewing angle that will be of great use for those of you working...

For some time, I've been looking to upgrade the Dell U2311H IPS LCD that served as my primary work monitor at the office with something that has more vertical real estate (1080p just doesn't cut it for serious productivity) and better colour reproduction.

An in depth look at the Professional range 27", high resolution monitor from Asus. The PLS panel, LED backlighting and decent specs make this an interesting choice. How does it perform in our tests?

Great range of connections and stand adjustments (including all cables provided; Very good pixel response times; Very good contrast ratio; the best we've seen from a PLS panel so far

Monitor choice is thankfully a lot easier in recent times. Even a cheap TN panel will be reasonable quality.

The PB278Q is a 27in IPS monitor with a large 2,560x1,440 resolution, and is very similar in specification to Viewsonic's VP2770-LED. It's another highly-adjustable screen with excellent picture quality, and is ideal for working on multiple documents or with complicated applications such as video...
