Product Description

The VK278Q monitor is equipped with features that allow users in business and academia to maximize their productivity, enjoy vivid visuals, and reduce their energy bills. The 27” wide monitor is Energy Star certified and utilizes an LED backlit panel. Users can enjoy enhanced visuals, thanks to the monitor’s ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio of 10,000,000:1, Trace Free Technology, and Splendid™ Video Intelligence technology. Professionals can maximize their productivity with the monitor’s rich assortment of I/O ports, which include a DisplayPort that supports Eyefinity technology.

The 27” LED monitor delivers high picture quality with its full HD 1080p support and its HDMI port. ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio boosts the monitor’s contrast ratio to 10,000,000:1 by dynamically adjusting the luminance of the backlight to achieve the darkest black and the brightest white. The VK278Q also features Trace Free Technology, which reduces the response time of the monitor to 2ms to eliminate ghosting and tracers, delivering a more fluid playback of multimedia content. ASUS LCD monitors feature exclusive Splendid Video Intelligence Technology, which optimizes the monitor’s color display by tailoring the monitor’s color settings in accordance to the current task at hand.

The VK278Q comes with a strong array of I/O ports, including, HDMI and DisplayPort inputs. The DisplayPort interface better supports multiple display streams, a longer cable connection, and interoperability with other inputs, such as VGA, DVI and HDMI. The DisplayPort also supports Eyefinity technology, which allow professionals to visually expand their workspace for maximum productivity. With the HDMI port, professionals or teachers can stream HD content on the monitor from high definition content sources, such as PCs. The monitor offers Picture-in-Picture which supports image display of two different signals at the same time for easier multi-tasking.

Adopting a mercury-free LED backlight panel, the VK278Q delivers vibrant, high contrast images while reducing energy consumption by 40% and reducing pollution during the manufacturing and recycling process. The monitor has also passed stringent energy efficiency performance criteria to attain Energy Star certification. An AI Light function enables the VK278Q to save up to 25% in power consumption by optimizing the brightness of the screen through analysis of the environmental lighting. Not only does this support green purchasing at institutions but it also helps institutions save on utility bills and reduce waste.

The VE278Q is the first 27” LED monitor that integrates real-time video communication with the built-in 2.0 Megapixel webcam. Professionals can utilize the webcam to videoconference with one another. The monitor’s 2.0 Megapixel camera also supports distance learning.

The VE278Q is tiltable for comfortable long term viewing. A VESA Wall Mount Standard (100 x 100 mm) conserves space and professionals can maintain a neat and organized workspace with the monitor’s included cable manager.

5.0 out of 5 stars Asus VK278Q 27inch widescreen 9 Nov 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Nice monitor, nice price at under 300gbp. Mounted on a slim vesa bracket as a second screen for a macbook this monitor is perfect and at a third of the price of the Apple Equivalent is a good value alternative that does not disappoint. The top resolution is full hd which is the main difference as the apple display goes upto a lot more so if you really have to pay for that resolution then this is not the best choice. Otherwise what else do you want for your money. Surrounds are blak gloss shiny and the design aspects of the stand are functional rather beautiful. I'm using the dvi port at he moment as the display port connector in the post so no obvious functionality from the camera yet. An alternative to this one would be the asusvk278q which is 40quid cheaper without the camera. Another option I looked at was the acer slim serie but the price went up and it has no obvious VESA bracket connections.

Very happy with this purchase probably will get a second one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp Vivid Images 5 Oct 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Just upgraded from an Asus VK266H, and found the image to be far superior to any other monitor I have seen, the images are so sharp and vibrant, it's an absolute pleasure to view, no dead pixels either. Initially I found the LED backlighting to be too bright but when the AI sensor is activated it adjusted to the ambient lighting. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent all round Monitor 4 Nov 2011
By Shake
After much deliberation, and scanni9ng the mine filed of todays monitors. I finally settled on this one. After reading reviews on all types I found this to be the most consistant of the lot.
My previous monitor was a Samsung Syncmaster 226BW which was perfect in every way and I was worried if I could find one to match. To test it out I put on Battlefield 3, maxed out the resolutions and set graphics to as high as they could go. The monitor was excellent, no ghosting or blurring. The colours are so rich and definately an improvement from the Samsung. Trying Battlefield BC2 I noticed all the maps looked more in depth and once again the colours have changed the way the map looks for the better.
I was worried about having a 27" and only being able to go to 1080p, but I needn't have worried as it looks amazing all the same

For movies this is excellent too, I watched a couple of HD movies and once again these are crystal clear with vibrant colours. Browsing isn't a problem infact I could probably do it from accross the room!
There are a few presets on the monitor to change the way it displays. Sceneryl,standard,theatre,game and night mode. I tweaked the brightness in most of these dropping it down to 65-70 as it ewas just far too bright out of the box.
All in all I give this monitor 5 stars, I bought it at the start of this week when it was £250, a bargain for sure. Now I see it has gone up to £275 which in todays market is still a great bargain.
Delivery was as usual fast from Amazon, living in the Highlands it arrived within 2 days!
Anyone thinking of a 27" should definately consider this if the price stays under the £300 mark.
You'd be hard pushed to find a better deal.
