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.

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.

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.

I bought one late last year and liked it some much, I got a second one. Make sure your machine can handle the high resolutions. It includes all of the cables. All is great.

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.

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

Asus' PB278Q is quite nice indeed for the price, offering a no-frills premium panel for those who are looking to save pennies.

PLS screen has great viewing angles; Matte screen without sparkling anti-glare; Full range of adjustments for the stand

Light bleed shouldn't be an issue on a panel like this; Mode switching on HDMI makes the monitor think there is no signal; Slight banding across gradients; High power consumption in standby and off modes

Plane to Line Switching (PLS) is a relatively new panel technology developed by Samsung as an alternative to LG's popular IPS panel. Both technologies claim to offer very good colour quality and wide viewing angles, and both are more expensive to manufacture than the TN (Twisted Nematic) panels that...

Great colour quality; Display isn't reflective; Lots of video ports; Ergonomic stand

A touch pricey; Lack of USB ports

The Asus PB278Q 27-inch HD monitor utilizes the relatively new PLS panel technology which results in excellent color quality and wide viewing angles. While it is quite pricy and has no automatic pivot function, it's still a decent monitor that provides a good quality image.

Many video inputs; Wide viewing angles; Very good image quality

Expensive; No automatic screen rotation

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
