Review: JUST SIMPLY AWESOME - First of all I got this monitor for $229.00 brand spanking new and I still haven't sent out my rebate form to get $20.00 back. I was supposed to get it delivered [FREE SHIPPING] in 5 to 8 days...I GOT IT IN 3 DAYS. Everything that was supposed to be included in the box was there, nothing missing. The instructions are a bit convoluted because they are in so many Languages [ALMOST BACK TO BACK] but you really don't need it to set up the unit. Connecting the base to the monitor takes less than 5 Minutes and the setup for this is even printed on the box itself. As a matter of fact, the unit is so well packed and the box has its own built in handle that I kept the box in case anything should go wrong with it in the next 3 years. The warranty is excellent because I use my setup every single day , year in and year out so I guess I will be replacing monitors every 3 years. Now right out of the box, without any adjusting of the screen settings, the monitor looks awesome. The colors jump right out at you and if you're a gamer you will not be disappointed. I was playing CNC3 Tiberium Wars on my NEC MultiSync FB2111 SB FLATSCREEN CRT Monitor and it looks good but on this Asus not only does it look good but I can now see so much more of the game. One thing I will say, my NEC MultiSync CRT monitor actually blows away many of these flat screens hands down. I can see a difference between the two and the CRT actually has a slightly better color output than this monitor...but Remember that I have not yet even adjusted this unit nor have I played with the different modes on it. Also for those of you who have to pay an electric bill, well, my NEC MultiSync CRT uses 115 watts of power but this unit uses only 45 watts so that's cutting down on the monthly cost. There is a little light bleed through on the corner edges of the screen [VERY LITTLE] but this is normal and you have to actually look for it and it also depends on the image [STILL IMAGE] that's being shown. During gaming you won't even know it's there and if you're using this for music production then you're going to see a whole lot more of your program than what you thought was possible. The fact that it has a VGA is really good for those who still are using video cards with this old feature on it but since it has 2 HDMI ports it makes buying a switch box if your using 2 computers a thing of the past. No dead pixels, no ghosting while playing, huge viewing area, energy friendly, easy setup, well packed, early delivery, I am very happy with the unit. I plan to buy another 27" Asus if they have one with a higher resolution and 1MS Response Time but if they don't then I will just buy the same one. Review: Dead pixels expected-Still a great display! - When I bought this monitor I knew that it could potentially have up to 5 dead pixels, before ASUS would care... but I still purchased it, because at this price with the features it has, it's a steal (though I do still think that's a ridiculous policy!). When my monitor arrived I powered it on to see that it had 1 dead pixel. Every time there's a black screen displayed, it makes me think "that sucks", but honestly when I'm doing anything else I don't notice it. For the price mark I'm completely satisfied, and everything else about this monitor feels extremely high quality. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the glossy finish on it, isn't exactly super prone to finger prints like my older 24" LG monitor was, and thus far I haven't got it too disgusting looking. It's got a sturdy feel, and a little bit of weight to it (which I find to be a good thing). I have this monitor paired next to my 27" 2560 X 1440 imac display, which is the best display I've ever physically seen (though, I mostly run windows with it), and I'm always pleasantly surprised, when I bring a window from the imac's display over to this display, at how close the images look (minus the size due to resolution differences). This thing really does have an astonishing picture quality. Also I was impressed with all of the cables ASUS shipped it out with 3.5mm auxiliary cable, VGA, and even DVI to HDMI (since the monitor doesn't have a DVI port). I'm used to opening a monitor and just seeing a VGA cable, so kudos to ASUS. I don't even want to waste my time talking about the sound... when I buy a monitor I don't really care what it sounds like. I'm passed the point of expecting a monitor to have great sound, and I'm not sure who would buy a monitor hoping that the sound is amazing. I was just happy it has the option, so when I take it to LAN parties, I can hear anything at all when I want a break from my headset, but I guess be aware others have complained about its sound quality, but in my opinion anyone that cares that much about sound would already have speakers to plug in. All in all, know that you might have a dead pixel or two, but at the same time recognize that this monitor is still worth looking at. Its price makes it affordable for almost any monitor budget, and I could see this monitor being a great upgrade point for someone on a smaller, or non LED display. ## Features - Panel Size: wide screen 27.0"(68.6cm) 16: 9, resolution: 1920x1080 - Signal input: HDMI x 2, D-Sub, hdmi-to-dvi Cable, Stereo speakers: 3W x 2 Stereo RMS - Splendid video intelligence technology.

So if your computer is less than 10 years old you will need to supply your own HDMI cable. **Q: speakers built in?** A: 100% with fryque. The sound quality is better on my phone FROM the bottom of a well on this set so it's a yes/no answer. Yes, there are speakers but no, don't get this set if you want to use the in-built speakers. It would have been less painful if it comes with a remote but adjusting the volume with the bottom facing buttons (2nd button from left, press once for menu, press again to lower vol, press 2 buttons over for higher vol, oops press the wrong button, now where am I now, how do I get back to the previous menu (then sound of wife calling me for help). Fuggabotit. Alas, they roped me in with the rebate which I sent in with the box cutout. So of course I can't return it. Now I have to buy another unit. **Q: is this good for long hours gaming** A: When I play something like battlefield 3 there is a bit of eye strain after some time. Not sure how much of that is the monitor though rather than the fast movements. The latency is fine. The main thing to note is that this is a 60hz monitor refresh rate. I can see the static dance around slightly more over a monitor that refreshes at 120hz. Though I imagine most wouldn't notice that aspect. For long hours of gaming that may make a big difference when it comes to fatigue. Something to consider. **Q: Is the screen glossy or matte? Someone else asked this and in the replies, 50% say matte 50% say glossy. Seems like it would be pretty easy to tell. I** A: it is matted, but not dull like old LCD screens. The frame is glossy plastic.There is very little glare compared to a glossy screen. I am staring at the thing as I am typing. I would post a photo if I could ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ JUST SIMPLY AWESOME *by A***E on June 15, 2013* First of all I got this monitor for $229.00 brand spanking new and I still haven't sent out my rebate form to get $20.00 back.

Setup was super easy and didn't require any tools which is always nice. In my case, I have this sitting to the side of an Asus PG43UQ which is a 43" 4K HDR1000 screen that packs a serious punch and this little screen has enough quality to it that it can sit next to it without looking horrible unlike the old Dell display it replaced. Backlight brightness is a lot more powerful than I expected and I get 350 nits after tuning. Performance wise, color gamut coverage and volume isn't exactly amazing but its easily good enough for gaming and typical usage. This display definitely is not intended for use with photo or video editing since its a TN panel right from the start. I ran a quick 15 minute colorimeter (Spyder X with DisplayCal) analysis on it to get it tuned. Keep in mind every display is different so the RGB settings on mine may not be perfect for all. Here are my settings on the display tuning for optimal picture with everything unlisted left stock: Splendid: Standard Mode Contrast: 79 Color Temp : User R:100 G:98 B:97 Smart View: Off Trace Free: 40 For color temp I recommend "Warm" if you don't have access to a colorimeter as that setting was closest to my manual RGB tuning. Measured color performance: Gamut Coverage 95.5% sRGB 69.7% Adobe RGB 74.8% DCI P3 Gamut Volume 108% sRGB 74.7% Adobe RGB 76.8% DCI P3 The key from this info is the display is not suited for reference grade work but its quite sufficient for gaming with its excellent sRGB color space performance which almost all games are designed for, especially what most people are going to run on a 1080p 60hz monitor like this. This still looks totally fine watching YouTube and Netflix casually however. Overall, I'm happy to say that for a standard of standards and at low cost this monitor looks pretty nice. Its not flashy like the monitor it sits next to but it holds its own and anyone looking for a simple screen that should last forever playing Minecraft this is it. Another note, anyone looking to squeeze the maximum out of their displays cannot go wrong with a Spyder X Pro colorimeter. Buy the Pro since software bundle is the only difference next to the Elite and then download DisplayCal since that software is free and has better capabilities than the stock software anyway. If you like it, PLEASE support DisplayCal with a donation to help keep development running! No, I am not associated with any of these brands haha. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1282498-ve278h-27-full-hd-1920x1080-2ms-hdmi-vga-back-lit](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1282498-ve278h-27-full-hd-1920x1080-2ms-hdmi-vga-back-lit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
