I do not find any problems with back light bleeding through as some have noticed. When using the monitor in day to day it really is not even noticeable. Now if I try specifically to get a screen full of one color or medium toned background then I may notice a small amount of variation in light...

For those that found the 1920 x 1080 resolution for the 27-inch ASUS MX279H IPS Monitor too small when it was reviewed earlier this month on Phoronix, today we are looking at the ASUS PB278Q.

Amazing monitor. I play at max resolution using the display port and have no issues with screen tearing or dead pixels. After playing at these resolutions I will never go back!! I picked it up on sale and it was worth every penny!!

Amazing color; I bought this for gaming and was blown away with the detail while gaming; My roommate played on it one day and went out and bought one the next day; Big upgrade from my old 22 Comes with all cables Multiple inputs for video Audio through the monitor is as expected for speakers built...

To get the full detail you need to use the display port cable; This means you need a decent video card to run it which can get pricey depending on what you want; You may even need to buy a display port adapter for video cards with a mini display port Have to set up the colors initially.

The ASUS PB278Q is a 27-inch computer monitor with a high-end panel and few unnecessary frills. It's targeted at professionals - who want its factory-preset colour accuracy and wide-gamut PLS panel - and gamers - who want its low latency and super-detailed 2560x1440 pixel resolution.

Excellent picture quality pre- and post-calibration; Excellent adjustability; Integrated speaker

Dynamic contrast isn't useful; Menu controls aren't great; Occasional backlight flicker

Extremely dense pixel count and very high resolution. Even the speakers aren't too bad. Lets you hook up HDMI and export the audio through 3.5 jack to your own speaker system. Highly recommend this monitor, even for the price.

I spent several weeks researching WQHD panels and eventually settled on this one. I must say I was skeptical at first due to all the reviews stating that the panel often shipped with dead/stuck pixels.

+ Excellent viewing angles; excellent color; + Sharp text; even small print is very readable; + Excellent adjustable stable stand that works great and looks nice; + Stunning and feels very natural while playing any modern PC game; + Price is fantastic

- Poor sound quality; - No USB Hub

I like this monitor, it's the best monitor I've owned. I suggest that since an owner's manual isn't included, Best Buy should remove that note from this product's online description. Or change the wording to "Quick-Start Guide" included.

Quad HD resolution (2560 x 1440) Samsung LPS panel. It has very good color reproduction out of the box. Once I calibrated it with my spyder 4 elite edition, the color reproduction was superb. Black levels are great, so are white and grey colors.

Pros: Physical Buttons - All Cables included (HDMI (don't use this with 1440p) DisplayPort, DVI etc - Cons: Extremely expensive. This is a mid-range/bordering on low end monitor. At this price it should be twice as good. - Terrible black levels. Blacks are mid-grey.

There are very few monitor companies here that sell panels that go beyond full HD resolution. Considering we are already starting to see 4K monitors abroad, it is high time the 2560×1440 pixel resolution started getting more love in this part of the world.
