This is my first 2K monitor, and I really like it. I cannot think of a bad thing to say. Right now I have the brightness set to 10%, and it looks great. I usually work in a dimly lit room. The blue light blocking is great. When I first tried it, I couldn't see anything happening. Then I looked over at my TV for a few minutes, and when I looked back at my Proart monitor, it looked yellowish. Perfect. I connected the Proart monitor to a fresh PC build with an ASUS motherboard and case, and it fired right up. I connected the monitor with a DisplayPort cable. The monitor is running at 60Hz. No flickering, dead pixels, or any flaws that I can see. I'm reviewing the PA278QV.Update 1:See picture which shows the lower-right corner of the monitor. A maximized window shows the extent of the drawing area.The monitor has a small physical bezel on the sides and top of about 1/16 of an inch. But, the LED panel also has a bezel of 1/4 inches on each side and about 1/16 inches on the top and bottom. This is unused space on the LED panel.My measurements show that the distance from corner to corner of the drawing area is exactly 27 inches.Update 2:This ASUS monitor came with 1 HDMI cable, and 1 USB cable.ASUS spec sheet shows that you might receive other cables, or no cables.This monitor supports: DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI v1.4Update 3:The monitor stand is nice. You can rotate from landscape to portrait and then get much better access to the ports on the back of the monitor.

Works perfectly with my recently purchased Mac mini. Only wish ASUS paid more attention to set up guide. Beginners beware, find someone for assistance.Corner edges show uneven lighting but not terrible.

So far pretty good

I purchased this for a Mac mini M2 I had just purchased, based on it appearing on several reviews that listed this monitor as existing in the sweet spot between affordability and quality. Of course, I'm sure it's not as sharp or takes as full advantage of the mini's picture quality like Apple's recommended Mac Studio Display, but the Mac Studio's $1599 price tag would've made irrelevant the reason I bought the Mac mini in the first place vs. an iMac, which was my previous computer of choice since 2009. So accepting that, I am very satisfied with this monitor. However, having only owned all-in-one packages like the iMac in the past, it was a bit of a learning curve in adapting to a separate computer monitor.I'm still playing with the picture quality/resolution, brightness and blue light levels to find the right balance—I will say that the monitor is certainly plenty bright. I keep brightness nearly at the lowest level! The adjustment in height and tilt (let alone vertical rotation) are terrific features.I also purchased this for the additional USB ports, so it acts as a USB hub too for peripherals. Note that in order for the USB hubs to work, you have to plug the USB 3.0 square connector cable into the monitor and the regular USB connector on the other end into the mini! At first I thought it was just an additional cable as an alternative to the HDMI cable (also provided!), but it turns out that this cable is what powers the USB hubs/ports on the monitor, so be sure to use and connect it! The paper instructions are all visual, no words, so it wasn't clear to me that this cable was essential, but after about 10 minutes of fiddling and googling to see why the ports might not be working, I figured it out. Hopefully, this observation will save some people a bit of grief lol. Fortunately, my existing hub for my peripherals (scanner, external drives) worked fine, but it's nice having these additional ports to charge/connect my iPhone and other occasional peripherals I use. It's saved me for now from having to buy a USB hub I was contemplating for the mini to give me more ports.I should add that I read that connecting the mini purely via HDMI didn't take full advantage of the mini's graphics card, so in advance of the delivery of both the mini and the monitor, I purchased a USB C to HDMI adaptor.The only "drawback" (which is not on ASUS, more on the user if you opt for the Mac mini) is that it doesn't have a built in video camera. Who knew that I'd need one so soon after purchasing the new system lol? So I have just purchased a cheap one off Amazon that should solve that problem.Anyway, very pleased with this product.

Previously had an MSI 25" at 1080p that was incredibly blurry with a PPI of 89. This is a game changer and scales perfectly on Linux. Font scales perfectly for coding and software. The OSD seriously needs a major overhaul. There are 5 square buttons with a circle in the middle. Practically have to guess when changing the settings as all buttons are identical. If you have more than 1 monitor I would not recommend using this. Has issues when scaling and changing to another display. For a single monitor setup this is fine.

There are so many monitor options out there that make selection a very tedious process deciphering what has what. I wanted a 32-34" IPS 1440p wide screen curved monitor for my new Mac Mini. Most of the really cheap ones I've seen are 1080p VA screens. It also had to have USB-C or Thunderbolt because I have heard of problems running at native resolution via HDMI. And since this was not for gaming, I preferred one with really good color and contrast and accepted 60Hz refresh since I don't spend all day on it. For higher refresh and IPS, you'll have to pay a lot more like for a Dell Pro 34 P3425WE or a U3425WE.
