Question 1

Does it Have 144Hz? sorry but i was jipped before by getting a 120Hz monitor and it was only 60Hz so i kinda want to be sure this time..

Accepted Answer

Yes. I can vouch for it. It does have 144Hz. You must use the DVI cable to achieve 144Hz though. I'm assuming you are using an HDMI cable which can only utilize 60Hz. That might be why you're old monitor only recognizes 60Hz

Get this monitor. It's amazing. I suggest looking into Lightboost when you get it. You wont get your 144Hz, but its faster than 144Hz.

Question 2

I am considering this monitor, or the ASUS VG278H (the one with the 3D emitter built in).  Since they are close in price, why would this one be better than the HE model?  I am going to run 3 monitors in 3D-Surround, with a 5760x1080 resolution on 2x 760 GPU's.

Accepted Answer

David, I purchased the ASUS VG278HE and am thrilled with it, although I don't have the sophisticated setup that you describe.

Frankly I did not know the subtle differences between the "H" and the "HE" models, but found the following review article.  I hope it helps answer your question.  It is the best comparison article I could find.

The ASUS VG278H 27” 3D-Ready monitor features a Full HD 1920 x 1080 maximum resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The 27” screen also has an impressive 2 ms response time as well as a fast 120 Hz refresh rate, which shines during high-paced, GPU-intensive PC games, such as first-person shooters. The display features a DVI-D port, an HDMI port and a VGA port so you can have your pick of which connector you would like to use. There are also built-in stereo speakers for when you want to take a break from your gaming headset. The VG278H is also 3D ready, letting you use the included nVIDIA 3D Vision Kit 2 to take part in a true Full HD 3D PC gaming experience. Please note that in order to experience 3D, you will need a system that contains a graphics card capable of playing 3D content.

The ASUS VG278HE 27” 3D-Ready monitor is similar to the VG278H with a Full HD 1920 x 1080 maximum resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio and a 2 ms response time. However, the VG278HE has a 144 Hz rapid refresh rate for smooth motion scenes and minimal ghosting. The VG278HE is also 3D ready, although you will have to purchase the nVIDIA 3D Vision Kit separately if you want to take advantage of it. Also, please note that although the VG278HE has a 144 Hz rapid refresh rate for normal 2D gaming, it can only achieve 120 Hz (60 Hz per eye) in 3D mode.

Both the VG278H and the VG278HE have nVIDIA 3D LightBoost technology, which bumps the brightness up twice that of conventional 3D technology in 3D mode with no increase to total energy consumption. This allows for uniform black levels and color accuracy.

Question 3

is this a 144hz?

Accepted Answer

Laura, yes it is.  Although it's not spelled out, when it says 3D ready, it means that the monitor is capable of 144 Hz refresh since the higher frame rate is required to produce that 3D effect.  
Specs:
144Hz rapid refresh rate and 2ms (GTG) tracer-free Vivid color performance with Splendid™ Video Intelligence Technology.
Ergonomic design for swivel, tilt angle, and height adjustment
Extensive connectivity with HDMI 1.4, dual-link DVI-D, and D-sub

Happy Holidays!

Question 4

To connect this to my mobo (asus VI hero) via HDMI do I just need a standard HDMI cable?

Accepted Answer

HDMI won't do 144hz.
HDMI on monitor is standard size.
HDMI is a standard only one style but for 1080P you need a high speed version there is a lower bandwidth cable that is 1080i that was for the first release when HDMI came out

Question 5

Doers this monitor have the 3D emitter built in?

Accepted Answer

No, emitter and glasses have to purchased separately...  This may be a downside, but also a plus, as if a built-in emitter ever fails the monitor has to be sent in for repair/replacement, vs just an emitter.

Just a thought...

Question 6

Is this a 144 hertz monitor?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is! But it can also do 120hz, 75hz, and anything lower if you want. Really though, I absolutely love 144hz however in some games running the refresh rate that high can cause some amusing issues. For example, at 144hz in Skyrim, some stuff literally explodes when you touch them.

Question 7

DIGITAL TV TUNNER INCLUDED ?

Accepted Answer

No, its a 144Hz Computer Monitor. One of the best ones out there IMHO. HDMI , D-Sub, Dual-link DVI-D Inputs, supports 3D but mainly amazing for its 144Hz refresh rate while gaming or watching movies, using this monitor makes 60Hz look like garbage.

Question 8

In order to use the 144Hz, does the DVI need to be connected or will it work with HDMI?  I ask this because another monitor model from Asus (VG278HR)  requres the DVI to be connected in order for 144Hz to work.

Accepted Answer

You have 2 use dvi himi is not supported at 144 There is a chart that tells you everything you need to know fyi the monitor only supports nvidea cards at 144 amd only supports up to 120

Question 9

Does this monitor work for video game consoles like the PS3?

Accepted Answer

No, I don't believe so. There is no built in receiver for 3D Vision glasses, meaning you need to use the official one and plug it into your PC.

Asus offers a similar model that includes the built in receiver for 3D Vision, and will support game consoles.

Question 10

My old Asus monitor has an audio out jack so that anything plugged directly into the monitor via HDMI can have the audio routed out to an external set of speakers. A necessity if I decide to hook up my PS4 to this because as we all know, built-in monitor speakers are typically just shy of completely useless. Does this monitor have an audio out/headphone jack?

Accepted Answer

i looked up the asus website for the specs and saw that it has audio i/o jacks 1.4

Im at work and cant confirm this 
Never bothered to check since I use headsets and with my ps4 and PC hookups.

head over to the asus website and look up the product and you should be able to see the specs on the monitor.
