Many of you will wonder what resolution you have or what is the best. The standard is the 1920 × 1080 also known as FULL HD, then we move on to the 2K screens: 2560 × 1440 and the latter as the 4K 3840 × 2160.

This specific model is positioned in the ideal resolution for graphic design. For example, all iMACs already have this resolution by default and those of us who dedicate ourselves to graphic design really like it.

Asus presents its product in a robust packaging and with a first-class design. In the front area we can see the main image of the product and the silkscreen the model. While in the back we have all the technical characteristics and specifications of the monitor. Once we open the monitor we find a complete Bundle:

• Monitor Asus Designo MX27A.Peana. Power supply and cable. Connection cable: DisplayPort and HDMI. Manual and quick guide.

The Asus Designo MX27A is a monitor designed for professional use and gaming. It features a 27-inch extra-thin panel with a 0.1mm (lacking) frame, 109 PPI and dimensions of 61.4 × 42.9 × 22.5 cm. It incorporates a matte AH-IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) and 8-bit image quality. It has a maximum brightness of 300 cd / m with a contrast ratio of 100, 000, 000: 1 (Asus Smart Contrast)). In our first impression the calibration was quite optimal although we recommend using a colimeter to get the most out of this magnificent monitor. For you to see the quality of the monitor I have made a photo gallery with different viewing angles.

ASUS Eye Care, Low Blue Light and ASUS Flicker-Free technologies considerably reduce eyestrain and the typical harmful effects for users who spend many hours in front of the computer.

Its base is very stylish, with a circular format and a barilla finish, it offers the sensation of a high-end product. The only downside that we found to the base is that it does not allow us to rotate the screen or control the height. I hope that in the future and future models they will find the perfect formula to combine design and comfort.

In the audio section, it integrates two 3-watt stereo speakers each with the patented technologies ASUS SonicMaster Audio, Bang & Olufsen and ICEpower. All together with the MobileSound III chip, it offers a perfect combination of sound balance and quality image.

On the connections we find the following scheme

• Output signal: HDMI / MHL 2.0, 2 x HDMI and 1 x DisplayPort. Audio: 3.5mm Mini-Jack. Power: one connection.

OSD menu

---

Its OSD menu is quite comfortable and we get used to it pretty quickly. It allows us to configure any value in an easy and intuitive way: color tones, contrast, brightness, sRGB colors, profiles and other adjustments.

Test of performance

---

We have made a good test bench when it comes to testing this magnificent monitor. We detail it below:

• Office automation and graphic design: I have felt very comfortable when working with graphic design programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw or AutoCAD. The distribution of the windows are excellent as we have twice the size of Full HD resolution. Games: Although it is an ideal monitor to work in games, it behaves very well. Thanks to its 5 ms and excellent image quality. Particularly I have been stuck for 1200 resolution time and this is one of the few 2K monitors that has made me feel comfortable with it, to the point that I am considering its acquisition. Movies and series: Although this unit has a bit of Bleeding it is not serious, as it is something that suffers from all IPS monitors. Experience and built-in sound are more than enough to buy this monitor.

Final words and conclusion

---

The Asus PB279Q is a 2K monitor with 2560 x 1440 resolution and a size of 27 inches. It is part of the Designo series that has always been defined by elegance and first-rate components in both image quality and sound. The built-in panel is an 8-bit AH-IPS that will offer us an excellent feeling.

It has left a great taste in my gaming experience. I have tried first caliber headlines like Crysis 3, Battlefield 4 or Left 4 Dead 2 with excellent results. I have used a GTX 780 graphics card and an i7-5820K processor with stock speeds and it has been more than enough to play all games to the fullest.

Among its outputs we find a MHL2.0 connector, three HDMI outputs, a DisplayPort 1.2, audio output and the power outlet. The OSD menu is quite accurate when calibrating the monitor, it allows us different profiles and configuration possibilities.

In short, if you are looking for a monitor for many years, the Asus Designo MX27A will be a monitor that will not leave you indifferent for both the image quality and its design. Its store price ranges from € 500… a price that is justified by all the benefits it incorporates.
