Besides the sharpness of text, the colors were inconsistent (white screen had lots of yellow waves) and the brightness/contrast just looked dull

Due to the no hassle warranty - though eating shipping is annoyance, and the monitor not lasting very long.. but the screen is brilliant and I do get a brand new monitor without worrying about a possible lemon; so i am happy once more

Absolutely amazing screen

Not noticeable for anything but dark screens and such.

it's intermittent black-screening, so this 4K

Highly recommend this screen to anybody looking for a 27" 2560x1440.

Love this screen, I use half the screen for my browser and the other half for programming.

Fantastic screen:[+] Base rotates left & right[+

Excellent screen for a very good price

The screen is gorgeous working good so far.

The screen is gorgeous working good so far.

Wonderful large screen with great color, worked fantastic right out of the box

Wonderful large screen with great color, worked fantastic right out of the box

Very bright screen coming from a TN panel had to adjust the color ratio manually to get a better color production

Great screen, expensive but is worth of every peny

Vivid screen, no blurring or other image artifacting (gaming at 1440p @ 75Hz), with a great build quality

perfect screen, great quality and shipping

So right off the bat, this is a solid screen

Great size, no dead pixels, nice bright screen, physical(!!!

This screen is very uniform (as expected), and their is no light bleed (also as expected

The screen shows lines and splotches of colors, it's obviously messed up

When I use the blue light filter, the screen gets very dark, even on low settings.

The screen was free of any dead pixels and there's no noticeable pulse from the pwm-based backlighting

Awesome screen

After all the modifications the screen looked amazing all colors were perfect and the monitor had great resolution, i was satisfied

The Asus had a better picture quality and colors were more vibrant and I preferred the larger size screen.

Firstly contrast: a programmer needs good contrast ratios to get high quality readable text in a light room, and the same for "night-mode", where the lights are out and the screen is dimmed

This screen is great if you happen to get one in good shape

Screen is perfect, colors are perfect, no audio issues, amazing wide-angle viewing, etc

I've owned this item for approximately 2 months now and have been pleased with the image quality of the screen but have been let down by what I suspect to be the IO failing as the screen randomly displays "no signal" (disconnecting entirely), will flicker on and off quickly, or distort the images being displayed momentarily

The only pro is that the display colors are great and the screen is very bright, not to mention the huge screen

Another important topic is the crisp screen

Screen looks great

The one negative is that the blue light filter adjustment darkens the screen too much for my taste

27-inch does give you significant more screen realty compared to 24-inch

The screen is so sharp for everything and the lack of glare is amazing

I also have a Dell 30 IPS and the screen looks almost as good.

sharp - black and white screens (fill screen with either color) look very consistent across the entire field - no hot / dull spots - no color shifts

There are a few monitors that routinely garner editors choice awards and best inexpensive 4k screen, and this is either picked as the best or another screen that uses the same panel as this wins.

I recieved one of each, and the color is different as well as the on screen menu and buttons on the monitor itself

One star for joystick and one for a solid built screen.

SCREEN – Asus advertises this monitor as ‘flicker-free’

30" screens look great but most cost over 1000

The new screen doesn't have as glaring of a blemish but still has a similar imperfection that looks like a black dot that covers about 2-4 pixels of area

A part of the top screen was noticeably darker then the rest of the screen

Both screens had the same issue, this is my first time using

So if you use your screen in brightly lit areas I would recommend an IPS screen for the vivid colors

The reason I say shiny is because the screen looked really shiny even with the slightest light source on.

Great screen.

In the "normal" orientation, the screen looks great, illumination is very even across the whole screen, shifting my head left and right has little or no impact of how colors appear

Great screen for the price!

It connected to 1440p but the screen was flickering and fuzzy

Of course it is a TN panel and it does not compare to an IPS display, was hopeful that the screen would be somewhat decent but at least now I know to stay away from this panel type.

Everything else is awesome including: the zero backlight bleed (something that I've never seen with an IPS panel before), no glossy bezels and screen so no heavy reflection from other lights on your screen, the image itself and color representation, the stable and ergonomic stand, and the adjustable screen angles

Really enjoying the large screen

I'd rather wait for a good screen and prices to drop

I wear prescription glasses, and when the screen is distorted from the corner of the glasses, thin white lines on dark backgrounds break up into their constituent base colors

The monitor is killer bright, but that can be adjusted if you don't want a glowing screen when you are working with your PC at night

It's not as good as the screen on my iMac.

The 32" size really makes the 2560x1440 resolution stand out - even more so than a more dense screen, because it's so much easier to sit back and use the PC instead of having to pretty much be on top of it

As it turned out the BL3200PT that BenQ sent me has a pixel-perfect screen

Very clear screen as expected as a 1080 screen

I was worried with it being used, that it may have dead pixels or screen cracks/scratches, but after receiving it today I was ecstatic to find nothing was wrong with it

This screen is clearer that our big screen TV!

I have yet to have any screen issue since over a year of purchase .As for the design , its very simple but also sleek .More of a casual design than a " bad ass gaming" type .The screen is matte so glare and unwanted reflection are minimal

This screen looks amazing

screen glow or "ips glow" issue 1/5

If I ordered 6 BL3200PTs, how many would have perfect screens

I bought this screen for two main reasons: (1) my vision is poor, and (2) I wanted a larger screen to enhance my internet experience including watching movies, the news and playing games

What a phenomenal and vividly detailed LED screen

After troubleshooting and debugging with different HDMI cords, my previous screen, connecting the screen via thunderbolt display with my Macbook Pro, the only diagnosis that makes sense is that the screen went kaput

Flawless screen

(I'm looking right now, and I just can't find it).I play video games, and the screen displays absolutely no lag, and it has been a joy playing games with this monitor

It has a great looking screen

In short, this screen is very responsive

Horrible vertical viewing angle, combined with a neg 6 tilt, left the screen partially tilted up too much from my sitting position and left the screen partially dimmed/blacked out.

Product did not work as described, would get static screen with loud crackling or green tinted screen after waking from sleep mode

When I set my computer to turn off monitor after a certain interval, this monitor will come on with an intense blue screen that lights up an entire dark room every 60 seconds informing you that it can't find a signal

This is a beautiful screen

This thing has a gorgeous screen

I was impressed with the beautiful screen and

Cons:•The screen's physical border is thicker than I would have liked (About 1.5 inches thick).Other thoughts:• Shipment never arrived (Amazon happily refunded my purchase, and I re-purchased it

No bleed (first ever screen where it looks relatively consistent)- Tons of adjustability/maneuverability with the

The screen is nice and bright and blacks are pretty deep

I used the product for two days and the screen had a black glow that wouldn't go away

I'd say one of these is at least as good as two 1080p screens in portrait orientation.

Pleased with the higher resolution size and color, a beautiful screen

Beautiful matte Hi Def screen, native 2560 x 1440 on the Mac Mini via Display Port at 60 Hz = fast response time; exceptional text and photos

The screen originally had some severe image retention issues with certain dark screens in Farcry 4, but after playing other games the issue is non-existant.

i received the new one and checked it.luckily,none dead blip.however,i thought the color of the left screen was warm but the color of the right screen was

Even though its not G-SYNC compatible, I absolutely love this screen

I wanted to pick up a decent, inexpensive 4k screen for my son's computer.

Rich colors, large screen

Great size, no dead pixels, nice bright screen, physical(!!!

The screens are very responsive though Gaming mode hasn't made any noticeable difference in FPS, FPRPG, Action, Fighting, Simulation or Strategy

An excellent, super high quality screen

I will say, though, that it made me a bit upset with the quality and now I don't trust this screen to make it too much longer

Great screen, expensive but is worth of every peny

Due to the small fonts produced by the 4K, reading Chrome tabs and the URL bar was really too difficult to handle although i set the pages themselves to zoom %200 by default as mentioned above, however many windows were being opened in the 4K monitor since it was set as my primary monitor and I found my self more and more using the 1080 screen and wasting time dragging windows to it

It has a "Darkroom" mode that I didn't know about, that dims the screen perfectly for night use, and it's very easy to select in the OSD.Photo editing is a dream on this thing.

Super clear screen, excellent resolution, and tons of real estate to multitask

The screen looks great, and I play several games on it to check it out

The screen is crystal clear and is very adjustable.

One of the better 4k screens you can find in budget

A warning though, you need a motherboard and graphics card that supports high resolution screens

Great 2K resolutionAccurate colorsMatte screen is sharp, no rainbow pixelFully adjustable standGaming performance is good enough for meSpeakers are quite loud and full soundingsRGB setting is pleasant and accurateI leave it in that mode for movies and gaming too

the problem with my initial sample, the AMVA LED lit screen is bright with excellent contrast, but suffers from color shift when viewed from even slight angles

Other than the 50 dots that make the screen unusable and not being able to get an image unless dpI compatable, the screen looks nice

The screen was really bright

Most people won't use this[+] Large, bright screen great for any

This screen is flawless

Love this screen

I often dim the screen at night and never brighten the screen to max

Apart from the odd noise, the screen is fine.

Highly recommend this quality screen

Overall the design may be a bit lack luster, but who really cares when you have a such an outstanding screen

Its working great and the screen is very beautiful!

Its working great and the screen is very beautiful!

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 which also has a beautiful IPS screen, and my hope was to find an affordable 2nd monitor to use alongside it.

12h+ use per day, low heat use, no power saving no issues with Windows, screen still looks as good as day one

Beautifully bright screens, easy control buttons and look stunning next to each other.

I have ordered a replacement, and hope to have a blemish-free screen

IS NOT AS CLEAR SCREEN

Screen LED-Lit 4K Monitor:

The screen is vivid and vibrant and the colors just pop and the resolution provides great real estate

It was a beautiful screen while it worked.

The screen will go dark, I have to unplug my thunderbolt cable from the macbook and plug it back

The screen is matte and has no reflections which makes it very good for work

The icing on a cake: when the computer is turned off, the monitor displays a startling bright blue screen for a while (like a "no signal" screen on old TVs), and when the monitor is turned on, it displays some kind of a corporate slogan from Asus - unskippable, of course

Funny, as a gamer, the screen is so big that it's disconcerting at first.

The screen looks great.

My mom bought a 5k mac and the screen is gorgeous

Nice screen

I really want to keep this screen and enjoy its resolution and functionality, but if I get one more monitor with a bad pixel, I'm looking elsewhere.

Light bleed at the corners is a bit much on black screens but that doesn't matter much because the screen is rarely dark.

I absolutely love this screen.

The screen is bright and has excellent color representation.

Out of the box the screen was too bright and the colors were off, almost as if all the colors had a yellow tint to them, this was easily fixed by going into the monitor menu and changing preferences to my liking

" 1080p monitors and they worked but lacked in many areas, after one started having screen tearing issues I decided it was time to try something different

Most amazing screen I've ever had

I just can't see justifying any other more expensive screen, given how good this one is.

" 1080p monitors and they worked but lacked in many areas, after one started having screen tearing issues I decided it was time to try something different

Absolutely Gorgeous screen, 4k amazes, and the price point (we paid $650 in Aug 2014) is excellent.

The screen originally had some severe image retention issues with certain dark screens in Farcry 4, but after playing other games the issue is non-existant.

Very, very nice screen

Great screen!

At least once or twice a day there is a pop sound and the screen goes dark for 15 seconds

Fantastic 4K monitor was a great screen.

I still think this is a great WQHD screen for programmers for around the $300 mark, but I've finally settled on the ASUS PB278Q 27", which is an IPS panel without the corona on bright-dark edges that I got from the full-gamut screens: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009C3M7H0 - - - - - - - - OLD - POST - - - - - - - -After trying 5 different screens from Full-HD (1920x1080) through 4K (3840x2160), from TN panels, to VA panels, to IPS panels; I finally found what I think is the ideal screen for programmers

Beautiful screen

vivid” as glossier screens

The icing on a cake: when the computer is turned off, the monitor displays a startling bright blue screen for a while (like a "no signal" screen on old TVs), and when the monitor is turned on, it displays some kind of a corporate slogan from Asus - unskippable, of course

All around fantastic screen.

Stunning visual displaySexy lookingNice/appropriate screen coating for best visual

As a previous Apple 27" iMac user, I have an exceptional eye for a good screen

Vibrant screen with plenty of options.

The screen is so rich and vivid

The screen looks amazing, and came double boxed which was nice

Had to return my screen due to terrible backlight screen issues, I know that it is a common problem in LCD screens, but for 400 dollars there should be some quality control

got this used from warehouse deals i still cant find the 1/4" x 1/4" scratch awesome monitor uses a asus proprietary ips screen so not quite as fast as tn panels but mouth drooling detail

I have ordered a replacement, and hope to have a blemish-free screen

The screen has serious light bleed issues

I purchased ASUS PB278Q 27" monitor, it worked great until the screen started flickering and getting vertical lines.

great monitor, the screen is very clear and crisp

I just built my first computer at home, and decided I wanted a great screen to go with it

I would really like this screen if it worked

other than that the screens are very nice.

my whole screen just flickers constantly with random white lines all over my screen..

NOT!!!!As far as :"It`s not IPS screen= SUCKS"... NOT!!

Two had dust behind the screen (dark spot in lower left corner); one had a stuck pixel (could have been caused by shipping, though)

Was a great screen for every day use and gaming

Only game I couldn't get past 52fps 4k max settings was the whitcher 3.Anyways, as long as your fine with 60fps, 28"s of gloriusness, and not ips panel, this is the monitor for you
