    • This size of a monitor stretches 1080p to its optimal limit but it looks pretty nice for general use day in and day out as the colors are generally good (Not quite LG 29UM68-P good) and the viewing experience with its IPS panel for photos and video is also good but it still has more gray to gray motion blur at ~5ms g2g than a TN panel so this isn't the best option for fast paced gaming
    • Bought this to compliment my Asus turbo GTX 1070 and it passed the eye test with flying colors, it's like having high dynamic range type colors at all times, colors are unreal, a complete upgrade from my TN Monitor, not even comparable, it was like upgrading my already sweet graphics card

    • I love everything about this monitor, the picture is beautiful, the colors are just breathtaking
    • Great colors, and image quality
    • Compared to my previous monitor, another design-series MX27AQ IPS panel, colors are noticeably less saturated and almost look washed out by comparison (using “Standard” preset mode, “Warm” color temperature, 80% brightness & using Displayport 1.2a)
    • I hooked it up to my desktop using an HDMI cord and I was instantly amazed by how vibrant and rich the colors were
    • Great colors and resolution.
    • Interestingly, the “Warm” color profile on the second panel is different and looks more accurate and less-washed out
    • :It produces a very well balanced image with great colors and good enough contrast
    • Color is good, there is a bit of difference between my two monitors, but I haven't done a manual adjustment to match them.

    • Great color and resolution for graphics and video work.
    • UPDATE 3/23/17: After using the monitor for over a week, I’ve found the colors to be fantastic, and my initial assessment of its color reproduction to be overly harsh
    • Crystal clear, brilliant colors with a very large (but not intrusive) display area
    • I don't really like the color because my other two monitors are black
    • The monitor itself is actually good choice for a basic high-res monitor, with a gorgeous design and nice colors, relative to the reasonable price
    • It provides such vivid colors you can't get from any regular hdTV I've seen and the sharpness... ugh, it's perfect
    • Out of the box the MX279H shows a good color range, though as others have mentioned the brightness is all the way up, & the Trace Free was at 60
    • It is no 144hz monitor but it makes up for the fact with the rich colors coming from the IPS panel it's got
    • Slight light bleed in lower corners (but what the hell, who cares right?)Buttons respond with the lightest touch for some reason (really not sure why that's necessary haha)1080, vivid color, 27 inch beauty before my eyes
    • , colors are great, edge to edge frameless screen is wonderful
    • Pros:Excellent and vibrant colors
    • though I could manage to reset settings and honestly its not like you adjusting colors
    • Color is the best I have ever had.
    • The colors were bright.
    • It is bright, and the colors look great.
    • Color went and it's broke in less than a year.
    • The colors are outstanding...very vibrant
    • Otherwise, the monitor showed beautiful color and I even liked the integrated speakers although the max volume was a bit limited
    • Great color, great response time for gaming
    • This MX279H is very rich in color saturation and contrast, I mean not only color but hues and depth as well as shades come through with ease

    • This is an excellent monitor - beautiful color and wonderful resolution
    • It has solid resolution and good color quality with multiple settings
    • The colors are vibrant, the picture is tack sharp, and there are no reflections on the screen even in bright light situations
    • If your just a casual gamer and want vibrant colors and want a good looking screen that pops, I wouldn't go for the gaming monitors.
    • After calibration with the Spyder5 Pro tool, it looks amazing...very natural colors, great contrast, and pleasing to the eye.
    • works on late 2013 MacBook Pro, pluged in with HDMI and mini DP, works well, nice color

    • They have beautiful color, actually from all the monitors me and my friends have had we all have said these have the best color
    • I chose this IPS monitor due my personal preference for vivid colors and picture quality
    • Very good color, plenty of pre-sets for gaming/movies/etc
    • Nice color detail but causes eyestrain for some reason
    • No matter what settings I used over the course of 2 hours of testing, I could not get the BenQ anywhere close to the awesome image and punchy colors that make the ASUS stand out
    • Vibrant colors, nice speakers, excellent size, especially for working on big spreadsheets, lots of "real estate"
    • IPS glow”, the downsides (washed-out colors and poor viewing angles) are much more noticeable coming from a high-quality IPS monitor
    • This version improves the resolution from 1080p to 1440p, and brightness from 250 cd/m2 to 300 cd/m2 while retaining everything I love about the MX279H (same overall design, flicker free, low blue-light, good contrast, and of course the absolutely brilliant color of an IPS panel).I do not play high-intensity shooters for the most part, but I don't notice any ghosting in the games I do play such as Fallout NV, Fallout 4 (which is basically just a shooter, ugh, but that is a review for a different day), Skyrim, The Old Republic, Civilization 5 and 6, and a few others
    • The only caveat I have with them is the limited options for manipulating the brightness and color for the different picture settings.

    • Good detail, great color, appealing slim bezel/design, decent connectivity, only arrived with 1 stuck pixel (which is below their threshold)
    • Her photos look exceptionally sharp and clear, and the colors look amazing.
    • Great colors
    • Not good for proofing or accurate colors
    • this monitor was the best value, and as far as i have seen with my searches, has some of the best reviews and least quality control issues i have seen, and that is why i chose this one.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pros:-fantastic picture quality-vibrant colors-no Quality control issues (such as dead pixels and backlight bleed which seem to plague a lot of higher end monitors)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cons:-to hook up with display port, for some reason after everything has plugged in and turned on, the monitor doesnt recognize the cable, its a quick fix of unplugging the power cable and plugging it back in, still weird though.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------the only thing that could make this better for

    • Bright, clear image, excellent colors
    • The picture is clear and sharp, vibrant colors
    • The colors on this monitor is beautiful
    • Only decent colors and the worst button layout/adjustment method I've ever used
    • If gaming isn't your main use of a monitor, though, I would advise you get an IPS panel like this one; better to sacrifice 144hz for accurate colors in my opinion.---
