About ASUS PB278Q
FEATURED REVIEWS
Excellent monitor w/ a lot of inputs
I use this as an external monitor to my 2008 Macbook Pro. Using the displayport I can max out the resolution at 2560x1440. The colors are vibrant and streaming videos on it is great! There are a few inputs on this monitor, which is great as I'll probably hook up a PS4 to it. Also, the monitor has a built in speaker, which I didn't even realize till I was installing the monitor. It's not very powerful, but it helps me since my laptop speakers are blown.
