ASUS 27 1080P Video Conference Monitor BE279QSK - Full HD IPS Built-in Adjustable 2MP Webcam Mic Array Speakers

UPDATE 3/26/13: I played: Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, Skyrim, Doom 3: BFG Edition, Far Cry 3, GOW: Ascension, Mass Effect 3, and they all looked great on this monitor. I love this monitor and I definitely recommend it. ---- *So far I have tested 6 PS3 games with this monitor. (Note: the PS3 and Xbox 360 have graphics less good than high-end gaming PCs). *I received my monitor two days ahead of schedule (was shipped by Amazon). *This monitor is HUGE! and lightweight. *The quality of this monitor for the price is impossible to beat. What a deal! *I experienced no GHOSTING. *I'm using a HDMI cable I got from amazong for like a $1 and I compared the cable with the monster HDMI cable that came with my 60'' hdtv and I saw no difference in graphics (you may check out my review on that cable). *Some of the PS3 games I played looked outstanding while others did not but this is due to the games themselves and not the monitor. *If you own a gaming PC you'll enjoy higher graphics than us PS3/XBOX 360 owners. *My desktop screen looks true 1080p HD on this monitor; 1080p HD videos look great too. *The STAND that came with it is excellent; it allows to adjust the angle all the way down facing the floor or facing very up. Also, I put the monitor on my bed and I can freely move on my bed and this stand is so good the monitor barely even moves. Now I can play while on my bed and don't have to be careful at all about moving around! Love the stand! *This product was packed excellently; very secure and professional. I received a brand new product. *The default display settings were horrible but after messing with it for a couple minutes I got a great display. The preset display called "scenary" was the only and best looking one (the others looked terrible). I did try the settings offered by the top reviewer here but his settings were almost exactly as the preset "scenary." *The very first time I turned on the monitor, it was set to only work with VGA so I was forced to connect it to a laptop with VGA before I could actually access the monitor's menu and change to HDMI and edit all the other settings. *The speakers are terrible but this was expected; very low maximum volume too (as expected). :::GAMES TESTED/PLAYED::: *Uncharted 1 & 2: this game is extremely famous for its outstanding graphics. I finished the entire game on this monitor. The game looked absolutely outstanding from start to finish! Incredible/perfect graphics. I am now playing Uncharted 2 and the graphics are outstanding. *Infamous 1: excellent graphics; both cutscenes and gameplay looked true HD. Uncharted takes first place hands down but Infamous is right there with beautiful excellent graphics. *Sniper Ghost Warrior: this game is known for its no-good graphics. This game did not look good but we know it is the game and not the monitor! *GTA IV: shockingly this game looked terrible on this monitor. The cutscenes looked outstanding in true HD but strangely while driving vehicles the graphics looked atrocious. I was not happy at all. I don't know what is wrong. *Crysis 2: this game is very well known for its high-end graphics. The game looked excellent but not as outstanding as Uncharted. But let's not forget that I played the PS3 version - the PS3 console's graphics are limited and are not as high as high-end gaming PCs. Again, Uncharted wins first place hands down but Crysis 2 is right there at the top too. *Prototype 2: this game was criticized for its not-so-good graphics (e.g. IGN review) and it's true. I played this game on this monitor and although the cutscenes looked true HD the gameplay looked sort-of HD. Again, this is the game's fault and the PS3 console's fault and NOT the monitor's fault. Still I enjoyed and loved the game and it still looked great. *Modern Warfare 3: I only played a couple minutes of the game on the monitor but the game did not look as Uncharted and Crysis 2 and Infamous. This is probably because I am comparing in my mind every single game with Uncharted. I mean, Uncharted was absolutely incredible, and MW3's graphics could not compare. But I only played a few minutes of MW3 on this monitor so perhaps it is too soon to give a final verdict. -I need to try Skyrim, Bioshock, God of War III, Dead Space 2, AC: Revelations, and Batman Arkham City, and I'll report how the games look on this monitor, with the PS3 console. VERDICT: +5 stars. Love this monitor. I highly recommend it. The price + quality combination is unbeatable! UPDATE 9/17/12 School started for me here in NYC (college senior) and I have NOT been able to play at all! I know I need to test especially Skyrim and Bioshock but I'm busy with school, schoolwork, and the gym (lifting weights 5 days a week). But when I can I'll test the games! UPDATE 11/3/13: I have been busy and had not much time to play. I do have all the "top/best" games with me though, but I just have to find the time to play my PS3 games... I'm still happy with the monitor though. I was able to connect my iPad 4th Generation to this monitor with a cable (blacks ops zombies) and the game looked great. So I am still happy about this.

Bought for a PC I built. Bright colors, good quality, it does not seem to have sound at all but I think it does clarify that in the description, I did not expect sound and screen speakers never sound good to me anyway so I likely would not have used sound if it had it. The size is fine for a desktop since I'm sitting right in front of it anyway. Read more

I am thrilled with this monitor. I plugged it in and it was instantly working perfectly. The picture is bright and crisp. The colors are vivid, without being too contrasty. The type on Word documents and web sites is razor sharp. Resolution and size are perfect for gaming too. The games I have tested it with all look amazing. It comes with the brightness on 100%, which is very bright. I adjusted this down to 50% and it is perfect for me. It is still brighter and sharper than my laptop. That is the only adjustment I needed to make. I chose this monitor because I have a very small work space and the wires on the back of the monitor face downward, allowing you to mount it directly to a wall. I mounted this to the wall with a 4 dollar picture hanging kit from Lowes. It’s a great option if want to save space on your desk. I could not be more pleased with this purchase. I highly recommend this monitor, and I would buy it again without a second thought. For the sake of this review, I tested the integrated speakers. At full blast, they are audible and would probably be okay for basic web usage (youtube videos, etc.), but I would consider them a bare bones, space saver only, and not a real alternative to speakers. If you want to listen to music, or you need quality audio, you will still need speakers. But as a monitor only (which is how I use it) this ASUS is excellent. FYI, this monitor comes with 3 cables: VGA, DVI and 1/8" audio patch cable. (even if you don't need the speakers, it's nice to have an extra 1/8" audio cable) I Chose Amazon’s free shipping method and received it in 3 days. Awesome! Read more

I stare at this monitor all day for work and picked it because it’s supposed to reduce eye strain. So far, I think it’s helped. My eyes feel less dry and tired, even after long days. The screen looks clear and crisp, and it’s comfortable to use for both work and streaming. My only complaint is that it doesn’t dim as much as I’d like. I’m pretty light sensitive and even on the lowest brightness setting, it’s still a little harsh in a dark room. If anyone has tips for adjusting it further, please leave a review. Still a solid monitor overall. Read more

Good quality and works really well for Windows Read more

The monitor on my wife's computer started flickering a lot every time the computer was turned on. The image was barely viewable through all the flickering. It took 10 minutes or so to settle down and display without issues. Sometimes it was completely black. I finally convinced her to quit dealing with that and bought this ASUS 24" monitor as a replacement. Paired with an ASUS motherboard in her computer and the Ryzen 5600G CPU/APU, I figured this monitor would be a good match. So far, so good, with the monitor; especially for a relatively inexpensive monitor. No dead pixels, no annoying flicker, very good brightness and colors, and, as a bonus, 1920 x1080 display instead of the maximum 1680 x 1050 of her 15-year-old Samsung monitor. I cannot comment on suitability for gaming as that is not our use for this monitor. Tilt is nice, but no height adjustment (I knew this before buying it) so it is a little shorter than her last monitor. Longevity will be my only concern, not that I have reason now to be concerned. Sometimes, inexpensive things do not last. Actually, these days, not even expensive items are guaranteed to last long. Read more
