Great all round monitor.

This is a great monitor. I have two 27" ASUS monitors, and they both measure up. I was using a Samsung 23" monitor as my 2ndary monitor, but I decided I would like a 2nd 27". I was going to pick up the same monitor I already have but they ... Expand...

An excellent monitor with unusable built in speakers

The monitor was purchased as an upgrade from a non HDMI viewsonic 24 inch set. I can say this unit is sharper and clearer although having so far only used DVI cables,,I feel there is room for some improvement in overall clarity and sharpness. Having...

Great Monitor

I have been happy with all the refurb purchases made with NewEgg. It's a way to save some money on a product I might not be shopping for if not for the great deal due to price.

This Monitor is all they advertised, it has great color, sharp picture and the response time is amazing. The web cam is a nice feature and the speakers work well too

One bad pixel

VK278Q Power Problem

Seems strange that an otherwise perfectly working monitor will not power up if you turn it off using the power button.

Awesome monitor, when it is working
