General Review On  ASUS PB278Q

The monitors 27-inch slab PLS (Plane to Line Switching) arrive on the market in several 27-inch models. We have already tested the Samsung S27B970 and ViewSonic VP2770-LED Now here's the signed version Asus, PB278Q named. As the first two, this screen displays a high definition 2560 x 1440 pixels. It is primarily designed for the work of the image, and its display is factory calibrated to ensure accurate color. It is mostly sold cheaper than the other two models from Samsung and ViewSonic. We therefore wanted to know if it is as competitive as expected.

The ASUS PB278Q same design screens Proart PA248Q and PA238Q  that we tested a few months ago. Its matte black plastic casing and advanced his foot very well designed. The screen can be adjusted in height, tilt and especially in portrait mode. Note that this monitor is slab mate. It is therefore very sensitive to glare, unlike the Samsung monitor S27B970 the covering glass is very bright.

Designed for graphic 

Always in line with the Asus monitors Proart,   the PB278Q is primarily designed for the work of the image. Asus adds a unique feature: a grid of actual size (A4, etc.). which is superimposed on the image to allow the user to be aware of the actual size of the document before printing. This feature is very convenient, but this time we regret the disappearance of measuring sticks on the edges of the slab (present on the PA248Q and PA238Q ).

Picture faithful but perfectible

The display of colors PB278Q relatively faithful (DeltaE average 3.9). It is less well adjusted - even in sRGB mode - than the similar models from Samsung and ViewSonic. So we have vastly improve display quality in some settings: we corrected a strong deviation of the color blue (DeltaE 14.6) and stabilized shades of gray at 6500 ° K (the white was 7300 ° K by default). It should also reduce the backlight (brightness 44%) to improve its homogeneity. The contrast ratio of 906:1, a low result, but normal for this type of slab. In short, if the monitor is not bad in terms of display, we regret that it was not better factory set.

For players must adjust the overdrive the monitor 20 (option "Trace Free") to improve the responsiveness of the screen. This setting shows a very slight ghosting reversed ("reverse ghosting") negligible to the naked eye. The settings above are however unusable because they cause too much reverse ghosting visible. Should therefore monitor the majority of players, but will satisfy the most demanding, especially in fast moving scenes shooters in the first person. Finally, note that the speakers built into a display offer, for once, a good quality. The screen consumes more electricity than hand its competitors Samsung and ViewSonic.

Conclusion Of REVIEW About The  ASUS PB278Q

In terms of display, the Asus monitor PB278Q is a little less competent than its direct competitors Samsung and ViewSonic. It has however a very good compromise between design and ergonomics, and is thus placed slightly ahead of the ViewSonic model in this area. Finally, with the other two models, the PB278Q shows a better overall value for money ... the more modest portfolios appreciate.
