The ASUS PB277Q is a rapid fire response warrior of a gaming monitor. A refresh rate of 75 Hz and response time of 1 millisecond mean that you will not be left behind when doing high performance gaming.

All of this is designed to match your gaming reflexes, just the type of speed you need when on a mission in Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, where seconds count.

So, if you are looking for a monitor that will respond to your lightening quick reflexes as a gamer, this one can do the trick.

Connectivity Options

Anyone into gaming, graphics or multimedia use realizes the importance of connectivity for their hardware.

The PB277Q is well stocked with connector options which include: HDMI, dual link DVI, DisplayPort, D-Sub, but notice that there is no VGA port listed in its official specs, so double check.

VGA is slowly being replaced by DVI, so an older computer may not have a DVI port. This ergonomically designed monitor is also able to be wall mounted for your convenience.

ASUS Eye Care Technology

Anyone who spends a good deal of time in front of a monitor is in danger of uncomfortable eye strain, and may develop Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

Symptoms of CVS are red, burning eyes, headaches and fatigue. While you don’t realize it, much of your eyestrain is caused by a constant flicker of your monitor.

Even if you are not aware, this constant on and off cycle of the LED backlight is always hammering your eyes, resulting in eyestrain.

Realizing that their customers will be spending extended hours at the computer, ASUS developed the Smart Dynamic Backlight Adjustment technology, to eliminate this constant LED flicker.

The ASUS PB277Q has since been certified to be flicker free by TUV Rheinland Laboratories. As if screen flickering were not enough, there is another culprit which contributes to eyestrain, and that is exposure to blue light.

In fact, blue light not only contributes to eye strain, but also may contribute to permanent eye damage. As a result, ASUS has developed a Blue Light Filter Technology to protect you from the effects of blue light exposure.

For your convenience, ASUS PB277Q gives you the choice of selecting from four different blue light filter settings, each designed for specific monitor uses.

Summary (The Final Words)

Our ASUS PB277Q review has shown that this bit of hardware, with its large 27 inch display area, 16:9 aspect ratio and 2560 x 1440 resolution with 75 Hz refresh rate is a warrior of a monitor, and is more than able to handle small or large tasks.

Made with exclusive ASUS Technologies, such as EyeCare, the ASUS PB277Q is built for toughness, high performance and comfort.
