ASUS VG279Q 27" Full HD 1080p IPS 144Hz 1ms (MPRT) DP HDMI DVI Eye Care Gaming Monitor with FreeSync/Adaptive Sync

I bought this monitor new, excited to get my hands on an IPS monitor finally. Right out the gate the monitor had horizontal lines randomly appearing. When clicking from one screen to the next it would often pop back up with the other screen for a split second. 8 dead pixels or so scattered about the screen. Went through multiple diplayport cables and dvi cables and the issues were recurring. It was less frequent with dvi cables but still there. I probably just got unlucky but they are out of stock so am unable to return for a new one. But based on my experience I would not recommend.

I dont think I have given a 1star review but my monitor had a dead pixel soon as I turned it on. Ordered a replacement another pixel issue. Been reading on forums that other people have had quality issues with this monitor. I dont think Asus test their products before they ship. If you want to order this, make sure your able to return it if its defective. This monitor cost to much to have defects. I will say if the pixel issues didnt exist, this would be a good monitor. The picture looked great but I cant believe I got 2 monitors in a row with issues. Do better Asus.

I had high Hopes for this monitor. Was going to retire my main monitor (asus xg27vq) and use as my second monitor but when I unboxed this monitor and turned it on the screen hurt my eyes. I spent 3 hours trying to calibrate/change settings and the text of everything was very blurry and gave me a migraine. Either the specific monitor I got was a dud with a bad panel or the monitor like itself is just awful. After those 3 hours of trying to troubleshoot my eyes actually felt like they were bleeding. Before anyone says/thinks this thought: yes I changed the refresh rate in windows and GPU software running on recommended resolution and refresh rate.

Since I am getting a new rig, I decided I wanted a new monitor. This one was listed as one of the best on rtings, so I went for it, especially after it going on sale. First one I ordered had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. No way to overlook it. I tried flashing the screen but to no avail. I ordered a replacement and the second one was even worse. A dead pixel in the same exact area, plus damage to the screen in the corner. A cluster of dead pixels there, plus the screen itself was loose. Im done with this monitor and will be looking for another brand. Im very disappointed in Asus. Chances are I will look at a Samsung, or give up on a new monitor all together. I hate dealing with stuff like this.
