What customers say about "Key Specs"

ASUS PA279Q IPS Professional Monitor

The screen resolution was automatically set to 2560 x 1440 when the PC was booted.
Standard HD resolution which made everything sharp.
Perfect DP which gives 2560 x 1440px resolution.
27" allows for better screen real estate when doing general office work and ideal for the light photo editing that I do.
Setup was straightforward, the only challenge was getting the full 2560x1440 resolution with an old graphics card.

ASUS PB27UQ Professional Monitor

Because of the higher resolution, tool palettes/windows are smaller giving way to larger working spaces.
The resolution is a great step up from 1080p and the little extra refresh of 75hz is just a nice little bonus.
At 2560x1440 resolution, the viewing experience is crisp.
For the price, build quality and obviously the 4k resolution this product is honestly the best and first 4k monitor ive ever gotten.
The response time is better than any other 4K display I've used, and the resolution is just amazing.

What customers say about "Features"

ASUS PA279Q IPS Professional Monitor

It has so many great features for a web/digital/print designer.
The Adobe RGB spectrum was delightful with a nearly a full spectrum I could work easily and confidently in Photoshop.
This was the only one in this price range that had a color gamut of 99% Adobe RGB.
Solid performance, no problems what so ever so far.
The built in speakers have good bass for their size.

ASUS PB27UQ Professional Monitor

Speakers are alright, wouldn't say they can beat my old 24 inch TV, but it is a nice feature.
Comes with some neat features (Not needed Picture-in-Picture but it's there and I like that).
The adjustability is something I haven't had on my last monitor but adds a really handy ergonomic to the monitor.
I have it mounted on my VESA desk mount and it looks great next to the gaming version.
There are side switches to adjust the levels, rather than touchscreen, which I prefer.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

ASUS PA279Q IPS Professional Monitor

Not getting the full benefit of its colour space as my pc does not have the displayport connection.
This monitor also had a hdmi connection so I also used it to connect my PS3 up to it.
DP port very fast, also has USB option and sound dynamics.
The USB 3 hub is a great idea and works well.
Inputs HDMI and DVI cannot operate simultaneously.

ASUS PB27UQ Professional Monitor

Using either HDMI and DisplayPort, the internal speakers are perfectly fine for most things.
I connected the monitor to my PS4 Pro using the supplied HDMI cables.
I like that the connections are recessed. I can hide the cables.
I use the monitor with a PC (DisplayPort) and an Xbox through one of the HDMI.
The Power Cable supplied was an EU 2 pin standard, so i had to cut it up and replace the plug with a UK one.
