ASUS VE276Q Black 27" 1920X1080 2ms Full HD HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor w/Display Port & Speakers 300 cd/m2 100,000 :1 (ASCR)

Pros: Brightest display I've ever seen
Been running iy for around 2years.
Using DVI, haven't tried HDMI or the built in speaker.

Cons: None
Except there much cheaper now than they was 2 years ago ;-]

Other Thoughts: 5 Stars
Bought it at NewEgg

Pros: Huge display, excellent quality, no dead pixels

Cons: DVI on this monitor will let me go to the max resolution (1920x1080). However, when I try this resolution on HDMI, there is a black ring of unused pixels around my screen (1" on the sides, 0.5" on the top and bottom). I can't get it to use my entire monitor unless I go down to 1680x1050. This is simply unacceptable for a 1080p monitor. Anyone know what to do here?

Other Thoughts: I tried looking through the monitor menus, but I could not find any sort of auto-adjust. I also restarted my computer multiple times in the hopes that it would auto-adjust...but it has not. This black ring around my screen is getting annoying.

Pros: Great display, High quality.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I have not used the built in speakers but the monitor is great looks wise. I have had it for over a year and i have not had a single problem with it.

Pros: nice colors, built in speakers

Cons: i am subtracting one egg because of color washout on the edges specially on dark scenes

Pros: I've had this for 2 months and it does everything fantastic except text. If you need amazing text, size is not the main thing. Resolution is, and I found this out the hard way. Look for smaller size montitors with these resolutions or pay a grand to get this size in better resolution (pixel density).

WUXGA 16:10 1920 x 1200
QWXGA 16:9 2048 x 1152
WQHD 16:9 2560 x 1440
WQXGA 16:10 2560 x 1600

Of course always use DVI or at least HDMI. VGA is terrible on these digital monitors and rightfully so.

I'm willing to trade down in size to go up in resolution now. Any takers?

Cons: Refresh rate max is 60Hz. Oh so that's why the price is so low. One star removed because the price went up without refresh rate. Bought for $239 now $289.

Pros: Nice size, good color, the screen is matte.
It is shipped with good factory setting, I did not have to touch anything.
easy menu access, you can even control bass and tweet for the sound.
Screen is recognized by Windows 7.
It has speakers (read con). Hopefully I work in animation and I do not need blowing sound so it is ok.

Cons: None other than the speakers' volume is really weak. Thankfully my PC is silent so I can hear but if I turn the ceiling fan on then it becomes hard to hear.
1 or 2 more watt per channel would really, really, really... be welcome.

Other Thoughts: Good product, good warranty. I did not know Asus screen were that good.
Thanks Newegg for shipping it in best manners.

Pros: built in speakers, good quality from a good brand. good warranty.

Cons: i dont know

Pros: very large for the price we paid. Color, contrast ratio, clarity is good for the price we paid but nothing special nor spectacular. 2ms makes us happy while gaming no noticeable lag or delay. No dead pixels and decent build quality. Its everything I was expecting. Its no led monitor, no 8 bit eips monitor or anything, so their is nothing technically special about the quality, but for the price its an exceptional monitor. Thei size is excellent and their is no flaws.

Cons: Why are these 27 inches still 1920x1080 at this screen size we should be at 2560x1440. Or at the very least 16x10 1920x1200. The dot pitch isn't too large but its larger then any other monitor I have seen

Pros: Modest price, nice resolution, better than my old monitor, easily switch between different color settings (i.e. cinematic, gaming, ect...)

Cons: There is a slight glow on the edges on the screen.

Pros: This monitor is sharp and as bright as I would want it for its size.
An excellent monitor for gaming as it has the speed to prevent tearing and other visual issues.

Cons: There is a little "light bleed" along the lower edge. This is only visible in very dimm light and it really isn't annoying to me at all, just something that could be improved upon.

Other Thoughts: If I could afford it, I would buy 2 more of these for a 3 monitor setup.
It is an excellent monitor for the money if you watch for the periodic sales that occur for it.
