Rearranging the buttons to bring the select/back and up/down next to each other would have been a smarter choice.ĪSUS PB278Q: Picture quality and performance Having each button next to each other, but separating the select/back from up/down controls, means that navigating in and out of each menu - generally necessary during the initial setup, but less so in normal use - is more painful than it needs to be. We did take slight issue with the control layout of the PB278Q. We chose DisplayPort for the simple, small cable and integrated speaker connection. Screw the base of the stand into the stem with a single thumbscrew, rotate the entire stand from portrait to landscape, plug in the power and display cables, and you’re ready to go.

The volume can be easily controlled using a direct-access button on the monitor’s lower bezel, although we found it easier to leave it at full power and adjust volume within Windows. The PB278Q has an integrated 2x3W stereo speaker that works when either HDMI, the line-in, or DisplayPort is used. The monitor has an analog 3.5mm line input and a 3.5mm headphone jack. DisplayPort, dual-link DVI, and HDMI are your choices for digital video, while VGA is a backup if needed. It also means that the monitor sits as far back as possible on the stand, so it’ll nestle close to the wall when pushed to the back of a desk.Ĭonnectors on the monitor’s lower back are restricted to audio- and video-only - there’s no USB hub here like on the Samsung.
The stem of the stand starts from the absolute back of the base, which means it’s possible to use the base to store a wireless keyboard or mouse.
Its ranges of motion are more than enough for any reasonable user’s requirements, and the height adjustment of around 120mm means it’ll suit low or high desks. Connecting to the back of the monitor with four screws in the standard VESA 100 layout, it can tilt forward and backward over a wide range, swivel left to right, and rotate from landscape to portrait. The ASUS logo is finished in shiny chrome, and seven buttons for power and menu control are labeled on the lower bezel’s edge.

Designed more for the professional graphic designer or video editor than the flashy-light, modified-PC crowd, the PB278Q has a 21mm thick bezel on its top and sides, while the lower bezel is slightly thicker at 26mm. It uses the same edge LED backlighting system, and has the same tilt-swivel-rotate features on its height-adjustable stand. The ASUS PB278Q is designed around the same plane-line switching (PLS) panel and screen technology as the Samsung SyncMaster S27A850T.
