ASUS VE278Q 27" Widescreen LCD Computer Display
The VE278Q 27" Widescreen LCD Computer Display from ASUS is large-screen computer monitor with a wealth of input ports. You'll be able to connect it to your computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI. The monitor is capable of displaying 1080p video at native resolution, and can also output audio thanks to integrated stereo speakers.
The display features a 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 170°/160° viewing angles, 300cd/m² brightness, and support for 16.7 million colors. It uses an energy-efficient LED backlight, which offers more even lighting than traditional CCFL lamps -- without the need for warm-up time.

It can also be secured via a standard Kensington security lock.
- 10,000,000:1 ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio
- The ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio dynamically enhances the display's contrast by adjusting the luminance of the backlight to achieve the darkest black and brightest white -- delivering lifelike images.

- Rich I/O Ports -- Allow Simultaneous Connections to More Video Devices
- Embedded digital HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, enable connection with the most advanced graphic cards and computers. The DisplayPort interface also offers better support of multiple display streams, longer cable connection, and interoperability with other inputs, such as VGA, DVI, and HDMI.
- Picture in Picture - Display 2 Different Signals Simultaneously
- Need to research on the Internet, but a championship game is about to start on TV? The VE278Q offers PIP (Picture in Picture) function (via hotkey) and has the capability to display images of two different signals at the same time.
- Splendid Video Intelligence Technology

Comments about ASUS VE278Q 27" Widescreen LCD Computer Display:
I gave it 4 stars because picture quality wise is superb, really bright colors, for an xbox 360 is really works great. The speakers are sub-par but what do you expect, the only grievance i have is that the cable inputs are hard to see and connect because they are hidden behind the monitor really really well, hard to connect and disconnect things, other than that go for it.

Comments about ASUS VE278Q 27" Widescreen LCD Computer Display:
This was a replacement for a 19" Samsung Syncmaster which, literally, went on the blink and eventually died. I'd been happy with the Samsung as it was used as an extended desktop monitor for my work laptop. I really needed more real estate on the monitor than provided by the Samsung so that was a perfect reason to search for something larger. I did not expect to purchase a 27" monitor but for the money, it's exceptional value. I have used the monitor for only a couple of days so I have not checked out all the features but I will say that the screen clarity is outstanding. Definitely worth the money.

For the money, you can't lose on this purchase, at first I was settling for a cheaper monitor, but I was surprised that I didn't settle. I got more for my dollar than I thought. Great color, great clarity and great price.

Comments about ASUS VE278Q 27" Widescreen LCD Computer Display:
I already have a 27" LG 53 series monitor purchased about three years ago. I wanted to add a second monitor but LG discontinue this model. The Asus fit the bill with several improvements over the LG. It has the HDMI connector, it has speakers, and is LED. The Asus is now my main monitor. The only con is the 26.5" diagonal display compared to the LG's full 27". As for color and performance, the Asus is excellent.

This monitor is a second display attached to my 24" iMac. It's colors may even be better than my 3 year old iMac's. I have the VGA input attached to my web server which I can view via the pip or fullscreen! I would definitely buy again

I am a futures trader with a 6 monitor setup for my charts. I needed something with sharp text, good color and low heat and energy needs. This Asus LED monitor is exactly what I needed. The price at B&H could not be beat and the Asus warranty is one of the best in the market.

Comments about ASUS VE278Q 27" Widescreen LCD Computer Display:
Needed to replace my six year old 21 inch Samsung Syncmaster, it finally died. I was going to get another Samsung but in a 27 inch. I checked around and saw the ASUS. I had never heard of that brand before. It came with high reviews and a 3 year parts and labor warranty. I am glad I did. I love the picture and ease of use. Would whole heardtly recommend.

Comments about ASUS VE278Q 27" Widescreen LCD Computer Display:
monitor has great colors and looks amazing. almost too big at times but that is something that I just need to get used to. Exterior wise, i would say that a samsung looks a little bit better, but after reading many reviews about the performance of this monitor and after purchasing it, I can recommend this to anyone.
