Superb Monitor in all respects

Highly recommend over any 1080p monitor...

High resolution. Really, i have a 4K monitor as well and I really can't tell the difference. IPS panel with great viewing angle sturdy stand and the speakers are good enough for me for the office work I do on it. Not good enough for music videos or...

really none. I got it when price was on sale. Love it.

Very nice

I use two of these at work every day. Really nice monitors. I mostly write code so the real estate with one vertical is excellent. I haven't played any games on them seeing as I use them at work but I'm very tempted to pick one up for my home pc.

Resolution at 100% is great, small borders, good stand

expensive

Annoying

I would not recommend this for the reason stated above

My did not have any dead pixels or noticeable black light bleed Stand is pretty great Comes with a bunch of different cables Pretty simple design

The monitor does not detect inputs (via DisplayPort) if it has gone to sleep. I have to unplug the monitor, leave it unplugged for a minute or two, then plug it back in for it to detect it.

Great IPS Monitor

- $270 is what I paid. Worth every penny at this price

- 1440p - IPS - More than enough screen real estate at 25' for FPS games - No dead pixels, absolutely zero IPS glow/bleed

- The speakers sound like they are off in the distance. Didn't expect much for built-in ones though.

Awesome monitor for gaming

Best monitor I have ever bought, I can't wait until it goes on sale to buy another. A must have for non competitive gaming.

Dark Blacks, no backlight bleeding, and the resolution is incredible.

none yet

Great product, display port cable was defective

Crystal clear, lots of inputs. I really like this monitor on my smallish desk. It is very easy to read.

Display port cable that came with it was defective and made the monitor occasionally blink out and make a scratchy noise from the monitor speakers. Replaced it with another one I had laying around and all works fine now.

"Frameless?" - not quite as advertised.

If you purchase thinking of placing multiple monitors next to each other in an array so you will have very small black space between them - you will not be happy when you find instead of two 1/8 frame width - you get about 3/4 black space - which is...

Resolution is great and as advertised. I have 4 of these in a quad monitor set up (2 over 2) . Lots of real estate to work with at full resolution. On sale price made it all worth the upgrade of my previous 4 monitors.

If you look closely at the photos of this unit it does indeed show there is a black border around the screen - not the plastic frame but an actual dead space on the screen itself. What's the point of having a 1/8 inch plastic frame if you are going to...

Super Satisfied

I wonder though if there was a glossy version of this would I like it more. My Dell IPS monitors for work are glossy, but they look really good too. I don't have the reflection issues that other people seem to be sensitive to.

In summary this is the best monior I've used. At work I use/used Dell IPS monitor (21.5"), HP monitor (23"), Acer (21.5"), and Asus monitor (23in). But by far the PB258Q is quite amazing. My Dell IPS monitors for work are glossly, but they look really...

Not sure if this was intentional but the base seems big, but a little smaller would've been nice, but doesn't affect my usage of this monitor.
