Asus VG278H review: Asus VG278H

Asus VG278H

The ; delivers great 3D performance, a superfast refresh rate, and useful ergonomic options.

The monitor is expensive, given what it offers. Also, accessing the connections can be maddening, there is significant backlight bleeding, and the OSD navigation is clunky and obtrusive.

Asus VG278H

The 17.5-pound cabinet is supported by a round base and arm assembly that lets you make nearly any adjustment you'll need, whether tilt, swivel, or height. A pair of three-watt speakers provides better-than-average volume, but they are rear-firing and...

Good color, 3D performance. Fast pixel response. Ergonomic stand

Narrow viewing angles. Pricey. No USB ports

The Asus VG278H has everything you need to enjoy realistic 3D gaming right out of the box. It may be a bit pricey and lack USB ports, but this 27-inch gaming monitor offers a lot of bang for your buck in terms of performance and features.

Asus VG278H

This monitor does a single thing quite well, but is not flexible enough to satisfy other uses.

For an MSRP of $599, we feel the VG278H is a touch overpriced. While it does its job as a 3D gaming monitor admirably, it does little else with much efficacy. If you're familiar with Asus' computer monitors already, you'll enjoy the design and menu...

Asus VG278H review

When it debuted a few years ago, the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit required four components to work properly: 3D glasses, an Nvidia graphics card, a compatible display, and a separate, USB-connected 3D emitter.

ASUS VG278H 27” 3D Gaming Monitor Review

While the whole 3D movie “revolution” seems to be waning (again) there is one area where 3D has the potential to provide a better, more immersive

Like it or not, 3D is here to stay until Hollywood says otherwise and in the HDTV realm a least, that means years of image quality

amazing monitor

I understand that lightboost was created to make gaming in 3d brighter and thats where it gets its name but its awful to explain to people that using it in 2d games to reduce motion blur will make the screen dimmer. Also the fact that lightboost works...

i play at 120hz with lightboost at 10%, gamma .70 digital vibrance 70%, adaptive vsync with a triple buffer. it creates such a smooth buttery image with no motion blur ; It has a vesa mount and the stock stand is easily removable

it took me months to figure out how to properly set up this monitor ; Theres not many games that work perfect in 3d, and even the few that do the 3d gaming still strains my eyes to use for more than a few minutes. So the 3d is like a cool trick but...
