Five Star Reviews: | 61% Couldn't be Happier! January 2, 2017 My wife got this for me for Christmas and I couldn't be happier with it!! I am coming from a 27" AOC 1080p monitor that was fantastic and am really particular when it comes to electronics, so, getting something that is quality is very important to me. She got me the 28" 4K UHD version of this model and it is breathtaking. The amount of options/features this monitor comes with for the price I can't see getting any better anywhere else for this price (it even comes with a Display Port cable and HDMI cable) I am a big PC gamer so fast paced gaming on this monitor was my biggest concern and I can say that concern is void. No ghosting, no blur, no input lag to be seen. I currently run an Intel 6700k and a Nvidia GTX 980ti in my PC and running most of games at 4K and Ultra settings is much better than I anticipated. Even some of the most graphically enhanced games out at this time. (Watch Dogs 2, The Division, Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1) The overall quality and build of this monitor is amazing. When you take it out of the box you can just tell its sturdy, well made, and a premium monitor. The first one I received did have one "bright pixel" that was stuck white, but, it comes with a "Zero Bright Dot" Warranty so I was able to exchange it quickly through Amazon for a new one and its perfect. I have seen a few reviews mentioning LED backlight bleed and to say there is NONE would be incorrect, but, its VERY VERY minimal and on my monitor it is on the left and right sides in about 1/4 of an inch MAYBE and ONLY when you have a dark scene and in a dark room. It is so minimal that I can say its not noticeable (again, I am very particular) so if it doesn't bother me it shouldn't bother you. The colors are VERY rich, the blacks are deep, and the clarity is superb. If anyone is saying otherwise they may need to check their monitor's settings. I use the preset "Gaming" Mode and its perfection. So, if you are looking for a GREAT 4K monitor that can do it all at a VERY reasonable price, look no further. Definitely recommend this monitor for anyone that is wanting to take the step into 4K for gaming, art, or business, hands down. Connectors on the monitor’s lower back are restricted to audio- and video-only — there’s no USB hub here like on the Samsung December 8, 2016 The ASUS PB278Q is designed around the same plane-line switching (PLS) panel and screen technology as the Samsung SyncMaster S27A850T. It uses the same edge LED backlighting system and has the same tilt-swivel-rotate features on its height-adjustable stand.Connectors on the monitor’s lower back are restricted to audio- and video-only — there’s no USB hub here like on the Samsung. DisplayPort, dual-link DVI, and HDMI are your choices for digital video, while VGA is a backup if needed. The monitor has an analog 3.5mm line input and a 3.5mm headphone jack.The PB278Q has an integrated 2x3W stereo speaker that works when either HDMI, the line-in, or DisplayPort is used. The volume can be easily controlled using a direct-access button on the monitor’s lower bezel, although we found it easier to leave it at full power and adjust volume within Windows.Setting up the PB278Q is simple. Screw the base of the stand into the stem with a single thumbscrew, rotate the entire stand from portrait to landscape, plug in the power and display cables, and you’re ready to go.PROS: - Great stand - Great warranty from a well-known company. Warranty starts when the monitor was originally bought (if you buy used, or from a “Like New” Amazon Warehouse Deal). - Less ghosting than the HP ZR2740w above due to newer technology and “overdrive” capabilities.CONS: - Pricier, but not overly so like some of the $500+ 27” WQHD monitors available. - Might be stuck around 60hz, uses PWM at 240hz, so may see some visible flicker at lower brightness levelsSummary:The ASUS PB278Q is a beautiful 1440p gaming monitor that suits the gamer who values image quality over response time and smoothness. I play RPG games and single-player adventure/action games such as Assassins Creed, Skyrim, and much more, where the surroundings and the color accuracy provides the most value to the gaming experience.However, the PB278Q will, of course, be able to play online shooting games like Counter-Strike for the average gamer but the more serious online shooting gamers would probably notice a lag as the response time, and refresh rate is slow compared to the TN panel based monitors.Nonetheless, the PB278Q looks good, performs great image quality and has a recommended resolution for gaming of any kind. Perfect for console gaming with its 60 Hz refresh rate, image quality and the two 3W speakers hidden instead of showing on the sides, or the audio line out on the monitor for your headphones.For now, I have it for two years already, and my next monitor will be 4k, but definitely from ASUS. Best 2k for the price IMO September 24, 2016 For its price this is a very good monitor. I purchased it to replace a 1080p 22 inch panel and found it to be quite a nice upgrade.Pros:-Crisp clear lines.-Great vibrant colors.-Runs 75Hz as advertised.-No dead pixels.-Excellent stand.Cons:-Blacks are slightly grey if you don't adjust your gamma and color settings.Other:-I didn't have the backlight bleed that others mentioned.-For color I did calibrate the monitor and found it to be better than my old 1080p panel.-Shipped quickly and was packed in OEM box with no damage when received.-I am using the Display Port cable that came with the monitor. Great Value Monitor ! March 8, 2016 This is a great value monitor !!If you're looking for a good 1440p IPS monitor , this is probably your best choice for the value.Im not a big technical gamer so the 5ms response rate doesn't bother me much .I'd take the true color , extreme viewing angle IPS panel any day .(Note that the new 2014 version (PB278QR) is IPS and not PLS,They've also updated the menu icons on the bottom corner).Quality looks great on this monitor . Colors are not too exaggerated nor dull . It's just right.I have yet to have any screen issue since over a year of purchase .As for the design , its very simple but also sleek .More of a casual design than a " bad ass gaming" type .The screen is matte so glare and unwanted reflection are minimal .The bezels are not super thin like many people prefer but not a deal breaker .Overall a great monitor . Much recommended Great! Just make sure you set DisplayPort to v1.2 from its default v1.1 November 26, 2014 This monitor is absolutely amazing for the price. I was initially very disappointed because my mouse seemed to have a delay as it moved across the screen despite the fact that I have a very powerful computer. This was because even if you're using a DisplayPort connection, the monitor is set to use DP v1.1 by default. As you may know DP v1.1 only allows for a 30Hz refresh rate. If you have a video card capable of utilizing DP v1.2 you will need to make sure the monitor is set to use DP v1.2 in order to utilize the full 60Hz refresh rate. Once properly set everything feels extremely smooth and there is no delay. Monitor Settings: Menu -> System Setup -> DisplayPort Stream -> DP 1.2 Computer Settings (Windows 8.1): Right Click on Desktop -> Screen Resolution -> Advanced Settings -> List All Modes -> "3840 by 2160, True Color (32 bit), 60 Hertz" | 77% There are no reviews yet | 64% Works Great With Surface Book + Surface Dock November 3, 2015 I have only had this cable for a few days, so I cannot attest to its longevity, although I had no problems using it to connect my Surface Book (via the new Surface Dock) to an HP EliteDisplay E241i at 1920x1200. I have not tried using it for 4k output, as I am not yet on that bandwagon due to the lack of truly universal DPI scaling, even in Windows 10. I will say though that Win 10 does do a MUCH better job than previous versions when it comes to maintaining scaling on a per-display basis in multi-monitor situations where HiDPI and normal DPI displays coexist. Quick tip for Surface Book/Pro users using the docking station to connect to a monitor using 1:1 scaling: if some elements are still scaling up on the additional screen, simply log off/on, and this should correct the problem on the additional screen. Alternatively, hook up to the docking station before waking from sleep or signing on. I personally like to set the external as my main display, tweak the power settings so that the SB does nothing when the lid is closed, and then set it aside (lid closed), resulting in a traditional desktop-like setup. Throw in my Logitec MK270 keyboard/mouse combo (which also work flawlessly in this configuration) for around $20, and I can be every bit as productive sitting in my bedroom as I am at the office. Want dual 4K displays with your MacBook Pro? This cable will help you do it! October 25, 2015 As I type this, I am using two of these cables to connect my MacBook Pro Retina (15", Late 2013) to a pair of Samsung U28D590D monitors. Both displays are running at full 2160p resolution (3840 x 2160) at a full 60 Hz. Absolutely LOVE this cable! Works Great with 2011 Apple 15" Macbook Pro and Asus PB278Q August 10, 2014 I just purchased an ASUS PB278Q 27-Inch WQHD LED-lit Professional Graphics Monitor and wanted to connect my 2011 Apple 15" Macbook Pro and 2011 Apple Mac Mini. This cable works without any issue and is literally plug-n-play at the display's full 2560x1440 resolution. I am very pleased to know that I don't need the expensive mini Displayport to Dual-Link DVI adapter to drive the Asus monitor. All I need is this cable. It even carries sound to the monitor. Perfect Solution April 19, 2013 I bought a late 2012 Mac Mini with an Intel i7 processor and then installed a SSD to speed it up even more. So, all that was left was to get a display running at 2560 x 1440. I decided on the Samsung 27" LED S27B970B monitor capable of this resolution. Once setup I realized that HDMI would not give me the resolution I was looking for. I learned that I needed to use the Thunderbolt connection on the Mac and the Displayport connection on the Samsung monitor. Well, Thunderbolt is essentially a mini Displayport; this cable turned out to be the perfect solution - mini Displayport to Displayport. I am typing this review while enjoying my new 2560 x 1440 resolution. Don't settle for some other type of solution (I'm told perhaps a DVI-D would work, but why use an adapter and cable when you can just use a cable) - this is perfect and CHEAP! Time will tell if the cable holds up, but I suspect I will not have any issues. If I do, I will update this review. My Xps l702x works without change at max res January 10, 2013 Hooked up my U2317HM and couldn't get it to work at highest res with any of the other hdmi, dvi, vga cables I had.Read another review and 2 days later it arrived and 3 minutes later I was at 2560x1440 Excellent, economical cable October 3, 2012 I use this cable for my Dell U2711 PC monitor. The cable has no difficulty with the native 2560x1440 resolution of the monitor, despite the description stating up to 1920x1200 resolution. The 15-foot length allowed me to be more creative in placing my CPU further from the desk. DisplayPort conveys a digital signal, so it doesn't make sense to buy a more expensive cable - for the most part, a digital cable will either work fine or it will demonstrate immediate problems, with nothing in-between. I was happy that this cable met my needs perfectly. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 76% Previous cable stopped working from Sierra to High Sierra install, this cable fixed that issue! October 3, 2017 So my 13" MB Pro has a USB-C/Thunderbolt dock that has a DP output that goes to one Dell 2560x1440 monitor and an extra USB-C output that, in Sierra, was pushing a second identical monitor. Then I updated to High Sierra and the second monitor stopped working. System Prefs would "see" the monitor in the arrangement, but no output. After flipping stuff around, taking the dock out of line, etc etc, I determined that my previous USB-C -> DP cable was the issue. I ordered this Plugable one based on the customer feedback and still not having high hopes, but I received it today and sure enough, works like a charm! Perfect! Exactly what I needed June 15, 2017 Perfect! Exactly what I needed. I picked up a used Mac Mini (late 2012) off of eBay to use as a Plex server. I connected a Thunderbolt NAS to the Mac, which only has 1 Thunderbolt port to begin with. Therefore, I used this cable to daisy-chain from my NAS to my monitor's DisplayPort and it worked perfectly! The Mac Mini is only letting me choose refresh rate of 30Hz or 50Hz. Hmmm, not sure why that is since I know I could get 60Hz if I connected my monitor via DisplayPort to a Windows computer. Anyway, I'm not too worried about. Maybe the Mac is just too old for 60Hz. I just didn't want to use HDMI since the Mac would only let me use 30Hz.Anyway, I'm a happy camper. The daisy chain feature worked like a charm! My NAS plugs into the Mac, and my monitor plugs into the NAS via using this cable. Flawless with my late 2016 MacBook Pro & 4K screens. March 11, 2017 I was hesitant at first because so many other companies had issues, but these cables work flawlessly with my 15" MacBook Pro lay 2016 powering two 27" 4K monitors at 60Hz. No sleep wake issues or anything. I will defiantly recommend plugable products to anyone because ive never had an issue with plugable. Works great for my 2560x1600 Dell UltraSharp 3008WFP January 29, 2017 I had despaired of finding any way to connect two fine - but relatively old - 30" monitors to my late-2016 MacBook Pro with touch bar. This cable did the trick nicely for my 2560x1600 Dell display.Now, if only I could find a way to connect my Apple 30" Cinema display (2008), which only has a (dual-link) DVI input.Just to be clear: I'm not trying to connect the two displays at the same time. Working fine December 13, 2016 This one and the StartTech one appear to be the same and both work well with the 2016 MacBook Pro. Glad got them before they went out of stock and crazy prices kicked in. They work fine in 60Hz; if you see 30Hz on a 4K monitor make sure you're not using MST or other workarounds for older computers and have forgotten to turn it off.If it dies as some reviews suggest, I'll update my review. It has been few weeks now without issues. Came in faster then expected. Using it with my ... May 24, 2016 Came in faster then expected. Using it with my brand new Razer Blade 2016 laptop and 32 inch Predator monitor. Connection worked with out issue. |

Four Star Reviews: | 15% Incredible monitor, great all-rounder on a budget! January 28, 2017 This really is a great monitor for the money, I mainly use this monitor for gaming, video and photo editing and music production. I'll break out down below:Image Quality / IPS: the image quality is superb, and definitely on the high-end for consumer monitors, approaching but maybe not reaching the professional level. I am able to do video and photo editing as a "paid hobby" with great accuracy. All but absolute professionals will be thrilled with the image. My display had no artifacts or backlight bleed beyond normal IPS glow.On screen menu: Still clunky as most monitor menus are, but definitely above average in navigation and options. My display has a weird bug however, where pressing the menu button will cause the menu to flash up then instantly go away. This is solved by unplugging, waiting, and plugging in the monitor again. Not a deal breaker, but keeps this monitor from being a 5/5Build quality/ stand: Very good stand with smooth height adjustment, lackluster pivot adjustment. Nice cable management bracket in back.This monitor is very nice. Anyone who is looking for a beautiful picture, high resolution monitor as a good price will be thrilled. Casual gamers should also consider this, although it is definitely aimed twords the content-creation crowd. Lots of pro's for a mid priced monitor. Great buy for the price. NOT good for FPS gaming. Fine for casual gaming. January 23, 2017 I haven't used it that long yet. I'm using it next to my 27" ultrasharp Dell 144hz. This monitor cost 1/2 as much as that one. I WANTED BIGGER but it had to fit under cupboards. Fit is perfect. Size is much better than the 27". The ultrawide 34's were not tall enough - so didn't go that route. COLOR OUTSTANDING (I'm a retired studio owner and have a master eye for color. This one replaced a 24" NEC multisync and a Lacie 23 which I used for photo color.Not perfect, I see some tearing in gaming. (expected) I'm only getting 60fps with vsync. Expected... I can move the game to my 144hz monitor and do (if FPS type) but other games like Astroneer I prefer in the larger screen. IT is sharp (not as sharp as the dell) to be expected again as it's dot pitch is lower res (same res on 27 and 32... hast to be lower dpi on larger screen). I wanted curved, but reviews on picture were so much higher on this than the reviews on the curved offerings. I ideally - I should have sold my Dell and NEC and spent the 1600.00 on the 144, curved gaming monitor. To have it all - gsync, curve and higher res.STILL FOR THE MONEY this is a wonderful monitor. outstanding quality. There is better but you'll need to pay 300+ more. Most of my past monitors have been >1500.00 but since being retired I can't justify that price for casual use and games.Con: ODDLY the color temp has 4 options. Slightly blue whites, and then the other 3 are way to warm whites. I was surprised it didn't have Kelvin adjustment to adjust per 100's rather than the 4 options which are about 1000k difference. Still I picked the coolest option and then tweaked the color to warm up the white properly. Well package - BIG BOX - LOTS OF CABLES most of which I didn't need. Jerked the 24 NEC out and have this monitor side by side with Dell Ultrasharp. (I do not recommend for it's price). it has horrible color, saturation, contrast, viewing angle all poor.Pro: VERY good color, should be find for photo editing on a budget. I don't miss that I didn't get a curved 32". Has speakers do I could clean up my desk area by pulling out my speakers/subwoofer that were cluttering up my area. (surely not the same sound quality) but good sound for casual computer use. I use VR and headphones for gaming). Positive impressions after about 6 months of use November 25, 2016 I was hesitant due to mixed reviews and reported issues with the panels used in this model and the other manufacturers' 32in 1440p monitors. Received the item - original packaging nested inside a HUGE box with plenty of packing materials to prevent jostling. No issues with display other than a very small blemish about 2-3 pixels big noticeable on a white screen. No dead pixels, and the blemish is hardly distinguishable from a speck of dust. I'm pretty finicky, so if I had bought this at a brick and mortar I would have exchanged/continued to exchange until I received a panel with absolutely no flaws. The very minor blemish was not enough for me to go through the hassle of repackaging and shipping back.The stand is super sturdy. The swivel function is a bit tight and requires one hand to hold the stand to prevent the base from turning with the screen. Maybe a surface with more friction would eliminate this issue. My desk is a natural wood ikea table top. My secondary monitor didn't have the range of motion of this ASUS and I probably wouldn't buy another monitor that wasn't as adjustable as this - unless it was VESA compatible and I planned on an aftermarket stand.Controls are easy to use after a little learning since they are not labeled on the front (I prefer the cleaner bezel look). Rather than hunting for the correct button I tend to use the "joystick" for adjusting settings, which I don't often do.I'm running DisplayPort for my PC and HDMI for my Xbox One. Another input would be nice for Chromecast.The screen is nice and bright and blacks are pretty deep. It's about as close to true black as I've seen in a screen that isn't OLED or plasma. Due to the size, colors may shift a tad in the corners when viewing the screen from 24 inches and closer. I've only noticed this with red images. It's very very minor. Viewing angles are acceptable.There's a bit of minor ghosting as expected due to the response time, but I'm able to play FPS games without issue. If you're used to a super low response time (1-2ms) it may be a bit annoying at first. I was used to the 2ms of my SyncMaster PX2370 so I had to adjust a bit. The trade-off of a lot more screen real-estate to view reference materials on one side of the screen while writing on the other as well as the utility of the screen size to serve as the "TV" in the guest bedroom/office is worth the slightly higher response time to me. It's worth having a decent gpu to run 1440p @75Hz. The difference between 60 and 75Hz is pretty noticeable. I wouldn't recommend running at 1080p if you're planning on using the monitor at the normal distance sitting at a desk. It is fine from a further distance (like a couch). I'm running a GTX 970 and I wouldn't recommend going any lower than that to run most things at 1440p @ 75Hz. I'm not the type to chase benchmarks. I had to turn down a few settings from Ultra on Witcher 3 and Battlefield 1 to maintain the resolution and refresh rate. The benefit of 1440p to me is that anti aliasing isn't quite as important at least to me. The higher resolution decreases noticeable aliasing.Good: Great stand, solid construction, good settings out of the box, no major issues with panel or construction. Nice image. Few options at this size, let alone at this price point.Bad: One minor blemish, not major enough to warrant a return. Only 1 HDMI input.Notes: 1440p @75Hz may push your current GPU if you haven't upgraded in a while and you plan on doing any gaming. The screen is large so desk real estate should be considered. Great Monitor! VERY Flexible Stand and articulation! March 3, 2016 as of 02/2016 this was the way to go for 4K for me. I am doing photo editing so I need the extra resolution for pinpoint accuracy. You get that. In the box is the power cable and an HDMI cable as well as a Display Port cable. I NEEDED the Display port cable to get the 4K . ONCE you can figure out how to set your video card, some smoke and mirrors, watch a few video tutorials, call ASUS who are about NO HELP at all! Play around, study the internet and 7 hours later Whala! DisplayPort 3840 X 2160 @60 HZ. (The obtaining the 60HZ was the hard part to get.) ASUS Support on the internet gave me some clues but I found it not to be windows 10 friendly. I called them and was on hold for over 45 minutes 3 times with no answer. The first (Live Chat) Johnathan Ended the conversation soon as I typed out my problem. Appilonia Only got me to the you need the Display port cable part and bailed out on me. And after that They never answered the phone, Live chat or by e mail again. I figured it out. (By accident so I can't even tell you how) HOWEVER once it is set up. What a pleasure to work Photo editing with. The stand is incredible. (As well as the picture and controls menu) The stand allows you to lift the screen from 1.5 inches off the desk to almost 7.5 inches off the desk with ONE finger! Once you get it up you can Rotate the screen from horizontal to vertical view! This is GREAT for photo editing as you can look at pictures taken with the camera in a vertical orientation without compressing the photo. Makes for easy editing. And it's also a great feature to flip the screen this way for the 50 times you will be dealing with the cables while installing, or later on when you want to add or switch cables. This articulation of the screen is a great feature and I might mention it tilts greatly in both vertical and horizontal. You can get the perfect height, angle and orientation with this display! EASILY! Paying over $400 i feel it was certainly worth the money, really wish ASUS was more supportive. I actually always try to buy ASUS because I never have to deal with their support, and good thing. Gamers you CAN get this to do 60HZ and this will be a great gaming display, but I hope you are better at figuring out how than I was. A review of a 1440p monitor in a world filled with 4k. June 12, 2015 In 2015, 4K is all the rage. There are plenty of displays coming in at a similar price or even less than the PB278Q! Why would I choose this one?I am using this monitor for multiple purposes, and I'm guessing that you can relate to one of them.First off - I have this monitor connected to both a PC gaming rig and a Macbook Pro Retina, using both daily.// Graphics/coding/general use (Macbook Pro Retina connected via HDMI):- The screen real estate is great. Of course, a 4k monitor would be better, but 1440p is a great compromise between 4k and 1080p.- Colors look great. I don't need a perfectly calibrated monitor, but I wanted something better than a TN panel.I am using the sRGB preset, good enough for me! There are calibrated color profiles and monitor presets floating around the net, but having the brightness so low is painful.- The built-in speakers are boomy sounding when listening to music, but work darn good for watching videos.They don't distort, and get plenty loud! My only gripe is that volume can't be directly controlled through the OS (I think this is a HDMI issue).- OS X looks fine, no scaling for me.Even using a 'retina' display, the pixel density looks great (sitting 2.5ft away)-------------// Gaming/more general use (PC connected through DVI):So before this monitor, I have been using the Asus VG248QE 144hz monitor. It's 1080p, TN panel, meant for gaming.Games LOOK great. Seriously, the monitor is beautiful. When I hoped in to some CS:GO, it almost looked like I had SweetFX on! The washed out colors of the TN panel vs the rich colors of the PLS panel are no comparison.But do games FEEL great? Nope. Not if you've been spoiled by 144hz, 1ms glory. Will I get used to it? I don't know. I have the 144hz sitting in a box, tempted to set it up again for FPS games.This is not a gaming monitor. It is a great monitor, which can be used for gaming. My 780Ti holds 60fps in most games I've tried with my old settings.- Games look great as I explained above- 60hz is painful. Tried overclocking it > got to 90hz > tested for frame skipping > disgustingly bad > repeat -10hz > same results.- Windows looks fine, text isn't too tiny. Again, no scaling.------------I love this monitor, but it isn't without it's flaws.- This IS light bleed. I've attached a photo of it, but I assure you with 100% honesty that it is NOT noticeable and looks much worse in the photo.At first, I couldn't even tell if this was light bleed or not. Looks more like color shift from looking at a weird angle. It's fine. I was worried about it before I bought the monitor as well.- Menu is kinda weird. It' okay, but could be much better (steal LG's joystick, Asus).The only thing preventing me from 5 stars is the light bleed. It's not a big deal, but this is a decently priced monitor.Overall - great monitor. Enough real estate to spread out, not enough pixel to make your PC sweat and struggle while gaming.Sorry about the long review, but when I'm wanting a new gadget, I love read them!Oh also, to the person giving ONE STAR because the "ports in the back are horribly designed and inaccessible" -- I've used every input type on this monitor and fit every cable perfectly fine. Great low cost alternative to an Apple Thunderbolt Display--if you use the Dual-Link Adaptor October 24, 2014 I love the high resolution, beautiful colors, and clear text of Mac OS X Yosemite on my 27" iMac at work. So for home I wanted a monitor that would get me as close as possible to the quality of the Apple iMac display with my modest Mac Mini. The easy path to high resolution would be an Apple Thunderbolt Display but I did not love its immodest sticker price. With a little research I found that the Asus PB278Q might give me the high resolution, color dynamics, and crisp fonts of an iMac/Thunderbolt for less than half of the cost.When I first plugged in my Asus to my Mac Mini using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter I got a shock... my Mac Mini didn't recognize the 2560 x 1440 resolution of the Asus. The highest the Mac Mini and the Asus could give me as an unimpressive 1920 x 1080. With a bit more research I found that the problem was my Mini DisplayPort adaptor. The Asus doesn't have s DisplayPort port. And the Mac Mini can't pump out 2560 x 1140 over an Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter.I needed to use a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter--a pricy contraption with three connectors: DisplayPort, DVI, and USB. The USB connector is used to provide power to the Dual-Link adapter so that the Mac Mini can support 2560 x 1440. Awesome!Except that there was one snag... The Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter is huge. And the Asus has a lip across below all it's ports in the back that prevents the Dual-Link adapter from plugging into the monitor's DVI port. Even the cables that ship with the ASUS are hard to maneuver into their corresponding ports because of that darn lip. (Note to industrial designers: keep access to all ports clear! It's the back of the monitor so it does not have to look pretty.) Luckily I found that the DVI cable that ships with the Asus works with the Dual-Link adapter. My Asus monitor and Mac Mini are working perfectly together and I'm getting full the 2560 x 1140 resolution of the Apple Thunderbolt display without paying for it.Other things I like about the Asus PB278Q:- The stand allows you to raise the monitor up to eye-level, which really important for your neck!- The built in menu system is pretty easy to navigate with several "Splendid" display modes. sRGB mode works the best for me.- The on/off control is easy to reach and not hidden away. | 10% There are no reviews yet | 12% works well for the price March 8, 2015 the cable works really well, i am using it to push a 4k monitor in 60hz from my laptop's mini dp port. The only downside i would give it is the plastic shell around the connectors are really cheap, they are hollow plastic, imagine the cheapest piece of shaky plastic you have seen, clipped together, that's what it's like. The clip on the display port is also made out of the same plastic, it doesn't feel like it will break with regular use, but if you are gonna be plugging it in and out regularly like i am, i see where it will definitely break or wear down over time. Can't really complain for the price though. Good for Displaying at 120hz May 28, 2014 The cable works. I am using this cable to connect my BenQ XL2720z monitor to my computer so that I can display at 144hz.The cable is good quality and fits in the ports nicely. The price is good and six feet is more than I needed. I was worried that this version of the cable would not push over 120hz but after some research I found that the version 1.1a cable meets the 1.2 requirements and is able to push over 120hz. So far I haven't had any problems with pushing 144hz. If I ever need another DP cable this is where I'd go.One thing to note though is that I think you will need a 1.2 version DP port to push over 120hz. I don't think version 1.1 or earlier ports have the bandwidth to do 120hz but I'm not a hundred percent on that. This cable will work fine regardless of what version port you have. Its just that if you don't have a version 1.2 port you may not be able to increase your refresh rate up to 120hz or higher but you could still display at 60hz. Works great, it's as described May 2, 2014 I recently got a WQHD monitor, and this cable is required for driving the monitor at its native resolution from my macbook. The HDMI cable only can do 1080p.The bulge on the mini end makes it a little easier to handle, but I think it is a design flaw, because sometimes those ports are pretty close together and it can obstruct a device on an adjacent port. That's why i gave 4 instead of 5 stars. Replacement cable working fine April 18, 2014 My original review was one star, because the cable stopped working after 40 days of use (and 8 days after the return window), having only unplugged/plugged it in about 4-5 times. Kudos to Cable Matters for standing behind their product though, as they contacted me immediately based on my negative review here, and sent a replacement cable.It appears to be working fine, though I've only been using it now for about 10 days. I will update this review again if it fails like the last one did.Because Cable Matters promptly sent out a no-cost replacement, I'm changing my original 1 star review to 4 stars (deducting one for the hassle of a defective product). Cable Failed after about 6 weeks March 20, 2014 Started our fine, but signal failed after about 6 weeks and maybe a couple of dozen uses.I had this connected to an external monitor, and would connect my work laptop or home macbook when I needed a dual monitor setup. At first, I thought the connector wasn't fully engaged in the Mini DP port on the laptop/Mac, but then it just quit linking to the monitor. I tried it on another monitor...same issue. I ended up buying another cable from another brand. Won't be buying from these guys again.Update-April 4th,2014After posting my original review, Cable Matters contacted me via e-mail with a very nice letter of apology and offered to replace the cable at no charge, provided I a) returned the defective cable to them in the pre-paid envelope they sent, and; b) consider updating my review here on Amazon.I think that was a fair request and I appreciate them reaching out to make things right. The replacement cable arrived within a few days, and seems to be working fine. Accordingly, Im updating my review from the original 1 star to 4 stars.Hopefully, this cable will fare better than the original, but regardless, I am impressed by a supplier that tries to address customer issues, and I have to say Cable Matters did just that. My thanks to them for their efforts. Work as advertised September 25, 2013 At first I thought either this cable or my new 24" HP LED monitor was defective, as the monitor would loose it's signal from the computer this cable was connected with, when switching input from a 2nd computer (a HP tower on one side, using a DVI to HDMI cable, and MacBook on the other side using this cable). Turns out there is a setting in the LED monitor itself that needed to be changed. Before I figured that out, I ordered another cable from a different company that, upon arrival, was identical to Cable Matters cable, and obviously from the same factory. I'm going to keep both cables since some reviewers mention the cable failing after a few months. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 9% Worked fine with my Yoga 910 June 27, 2017 I use to connect a Lenovo Yoga 910 to a 1080 monitor. I have no issues with color or performance at this resolution. Works. June 19, 2017 Product works well. Tested using various Viewsonic monitors with VGA ports, and Late-2016 MacBook Pros.One start removed because, unless your VGA port points outwards from the monitor, it will be impossible to screw in the screws without modifying the cable. Their small size with the larger housing around it, pressed against the back of a monitor with downward-facing ports, means your fingers just won't be able to get a grip. I had to cut a slot into the bottom of the screw so I could turn it with a flathead screwdriver. Not Working on Lenovo Yoga 910... Now working on Lenovo Yoga 910 April 27, 2017 Lenovo Yoga 910, latest version of windows 10: "DisplayPort/MHL connection might not work. Try using a different cable." - not the outcome I was looking for.UPDATE - Tech support from company was genuinely concerned and showed a desire to get my issue resolved. i was able to get first cable working by connecting to a different monitor, which seemed to wake up the appropriate connectivity and then the first monitor worked fine. company replaced cable and all has been working consistently since. but this works great. 4 stars only because like all these USBC>DisplayPort ... April 3, 2017 These are SO hard to find... but this works great. 4 stars only because like all these USBC>DisplayPort cables it's too expensive for what it is. FIXED: Reliably crashes new Macbook Pros December 14, 2016 This cable reliably crashes my 15" touchbar MacBook Pro when plugged in to a Dell U3415W. I'm running macOS Sierra 10.12.2. If you have one of the new Macs I suggest you stay away and find another solution.UPDATE: It appeared to be a bad cable. Service was very responsive and sent me a new cable along with a prepaid label to send the old one back. The new cable is working well so far. Worked for about four hours, then.... June 8, 2016 My quest for a way to get multiple monitors to work with Dell's XPS-13 continues: what a nightmare!I just received this cable this morning and it worked like a charm with my two Dell U2414H displays. For clarity, I connected them as follows:XPS13 -- this Plugable cable --> U2414H #1 DisplayPort IN#1 U2414H DisplayPort OUT -- Dell DP to Mini DP cable --> U2414H #2 Mini DisplayPort INI enabled DisplayPort 1.2 on the monitors, plugged in the cable to my laptop, and like magic I had both displays running perfectly. Then, I went to lunch. When I came back and brought the computer back from sleep mode, suddenly the Multi Stream Transport (MST) daisy-chaining that makes this work, did not work anymore. I restarted my computer, reset the monitors to factory, restored my computer, everything. Nothing seems to work.I'm not a hardware expert, but something is terribly awry here. And given that Plugable's cable worked for about four hours, I'm blaming Dell on this one. I don't know if it's the USB-C standard, the Thunderbolt standard, the DisplayPort standard, the monitors or the laptop, but this whole ordeal has been a nightmare. I simply cannot find a cable or dock that allows me to connect multiple monitors without looking like an octopus. My search apparently doesn't end here...***EDIT***I got this to work again by following these directions:[...]See "Dell-Chris M"'s post with many steps. This does the trick.........................temporarily |

Three Star Reviews: | 7% Failing IO Make This a "Don't Buy" April 19, 2017 I've owned this item for approximately 2 months now and have been pleased with the image quality of the screen but have been let down by what I suspect to be the IO failing as the screen randomly displays "no signal" (disconnecting entirely), will flicker on and off quickly, or distort the images being displayed momentarily. It occurs on both the HDMI and more importantly, the display port... I have not contacted ASUS yet but will try their customer service line and post an edit commenting on their service when I do.Backlight Bleed:The bleed is more noticeable than I had anticipated but that isn't much of a problem for me since I always have lights on overhead and don't have workloads that would make it noticeable. I typically have "Dark theme" enabled on every software package I own and it's not an issue with any of those; not even when programming in Visual Studio's environment, which is extremely dark. If you are going to watch lots of movies or not have overhead/desk lamps I'd recommend you find a different display or run the gambit and hope you get on that has better QC done on it so your panel is of better quality.Color:This is a very nice display and seems pretty color accurate out of the box but I cannot speak to the accuracy since I have no way of measuring. Pretty deep black but the lower two corners would be annoyingly lit for dark/color accurate work as mentioned above.I/O:This is where the monitor loses essentially all its marks for me. I only ever need display port and this thing has that, the problem is, doesn't work; the HDMI included. I am running an ASUS Strix GTX 1070 (quick side note, great card and runs amazingly silently) and have tested that it is not the fault. I have tried other pcs on the display and they all exhibit that flicker/ distortion/ signal disconnect that I mentioned earlier periodically. I know other users have said they have had similar issues so it may be a common trend.Overall, I would not recommend this product. It has a lovely display that seems color accurate, nice resolution, and a good price point. The trouble is that there is no point in getting a monitor of this caliber if you have periodically malfunctioning IO. I will continue to use this as my main display unless ASUS customer service replaces it (which they should IMO) or it breaks since it is still a usable display if you do design work like me. It would be terrible for a gamer though since it will disconnect for a couple seconds sometimes. This is truly a shame since I wanted to buy another and all other ASUS gear I have works flawlessly so far. Fantastic screen but beware of panel blemishes April 15, 2017 I love ASUS. I love their monitors. This is a fantastic product that I just purchased but be wary of imperfections with the screens. The first panel I received appeared to have a 1/2 inch scratch or eyelash under the surface. I got a replacement quickly thanks to Amazon's great customer service. The new screen doesn't have as glaring of a blemish but still has a similar imperfection that looks like a black dot that covers about 2-4 pixels of area. It doesn't appear to be a dead pixel as it's just a dark grey on white look and doesn't turn white when it's over a black background. These imperfections are also under the screen, not on the surface so I assume they occur in the factory. This new blemish is very small but annoying nonetheless. I won't return it because, well, I just want to use my damn monitor but consider this risk because I got 2 monitors in a row with imperfections on the panel. I also ordered a PG279Q by ASUS but that one came with 0 blemishes, granted it cost more than double the price. and beautiful! Never noticed any light bleeding at all March 10, 2017 PRO: HUGE! and beautiful! Never noticed any light bleeding at all.CON: But after 2 years, I got 1 dead pixel that shines bright in the smack middle of my screen. ASUS has a 3-5 dead pixel acceptance level, unfortunately.I usually avoid ASUS due to all of the horror stories with their customer support. This was my 1st ASUS purchase. None of my other LCD screens had any dead pixels - EVER! I've owned a good few LCD monitors/TV's from Sharp, Samsung, and Acer, but Asus was the only one that finally gave me a dead pixel and I cant even get it fixed under warranty with their BS warranty rule.Here it is verbatim from the warranty PDF: By ISO 13406-2 standards, ASUS conforms to the acceptance level between 3 to 5 defective bright/dark pixels. In order to deliver ultimate vision experience to ASUS customer, if your panel is less than or equal to the above number of dots, then, it is considered as an acceptable LCD monitor. The "Almost" Best Screen for Programmers October 17, 2016 - - - - - - - - UPDATE - - - - - - - -I have been told by other users that this screen does not have a VA panel. Other users say it has (see: [...]). Perhaps Amazon is smooshing all the comments for different models of screens together and the user questions are for *all* models in this range. Very annoying if this is the case. So after using this monitor for a few days, I noticed a couple of problems. 1) It ran hot, 2) there was light bleed on the edges during the night using it in a darker mode. I still think this is a great WQHD screen for programmers for around the $300 mark, but I've finally settled on the ASUS PB278Q 27", which is an IPS panel without the corona on bright-dark edges that I got from the full-gamut screens: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009C3M7H0 - - - - - - - - OLD - POST - - - - - - - -After trying 5 different screens from Full-HD (1920x1080) through 4K (3840x2160), from TN panels, to VA panels, to IPS panels; I finally found what I think is the ideal screen for programmers! My requirements for a good programming monitor are, in order: 1) contrast, 2) light issues (glare, leak, bleed, milk, etc), 3) resolution, 4) color gamut, 5) refresh rate. Firstly contrast: a programmer needs good contrast ratios to get high quality readable text in a light room, and the same for "night-mode", where the lights are out and the screen is dimmed. Secondly light issues: I find that IPS panels leak light around the edges of high-contrast pixels, if you view a dark color next to a light color, you see a small rainbow where the pixels meet, which is incredibly frustrating while trying to program. I like to use sharp anti-aliased fonts when I program, so light-leak around high-contrast pixels is particularly noticeable. Light bleed on edges of IPS and low-quality TN panels are also very annoying. Thirdly, resolution: 4k is too high for comfortable reading of non-anti-aliased fonts around the 15px per font size, which is about the average size a font looks good non-antialiased (to me), typically I use Nerd Fonts, Sauce Code Pro Extra Light and ProggyCleanTTSZ (slashed zeros). I can see why 4K is possibly great to games, photo editing, CAD and the like, but for programming, I don't get why you would want a resolution that high, and I think that quality of the color and contrast options fall far behind the resolution with the current 4k technology. Fourthly, color gamut: I don't need 100% Adobe RGB or 100% sRGB color space for 80% of what I work on, and frankly, a full color gamut screen makes most things fugly, because most things are not designed on 100% color space screens; however if you are editing photos of a sunset, or spending a lot of time getting screen color to match print, then yes, 100% Adobe color space is your friend; also the high gamut screens I tried, did not work with video due to refresh rate issues, the video played back without the full color gamut; which could be a real deal-braker if you're editing video. Fifthly, refresh rate: the higher the rate, the less eye fatigue; this monitor has 75hz, which is... OK but if the choice is that or having a 144hz refresh rate with poor contrast and light bleed around high-contrast pixels, then 75hz will do. Things that don't matter: viewing angle, because I'm sitting right in front of the screen; high color gamut, because I'm editing photos. All in all the ASUS PB277Q has the high-contrast VA panel which is crisp on fonts, the colors a great for the price. Bad point, the screen is too light, I have to weigh mine down with rocks to stop it from floating away. Is Asus re-packing returned items? Or bad QC? Stuck pixels. July 13, 2016 UPDATE:Oh forgot to update. I got a new panel. This time it was double packaged (in Fedex box and then within that, the ASUS box). This one was definitely new. Keep in mind I ordered straight from Amazon both times.The second panel had, you guessed it, a dead pixel. I didn't mind it too much actually. The monitor OC'd to 75hz easily and the picture quality of movies were gorgeous because of the wider color gamut/saturation and the amazing contrast ratio. Honestly I really couldn't complain about the picture from my GTX 1070 through displayport.The reason I returned for good finally was that the input lag and ghosting is really bad. Asus claims 8 ms grey to grey, but even in game mode, I measured the lag in the high 20s, the ghosting didn't help either. I couldn't play anything too competitive. Also if hooked up my PS4 or PS3, and played a game or watched a movie, it didn't scale well. The picture was fullscreen but it looked really fuzzy and "ghosty" for lack of another word. I'm not sure if it was the VA panel or the anti -glare film they attach, but the picture again, looked "ghosty".Anyway I read numerous forums and all the amazon reviews. I didn't want to wait for the panel to develop new dead pixel and then Asus throw their nonsense 5 dead pixel limit needed requirement at me.My 2 cents, hoped it helped.Original Review:I just received this monitor and the first thing I did after reading all the complaints was to check for stuck pixels. Lo and behold I found two instantly. Then it dawned on me that the whole unboxing process felt a little weird. All the cables seemed to have been in there, but there was no instruction booklet and nothing was neatly placed.To be honest, I think Asus is repacking units that were returned because they had stuck pixels and then telling the customer to shove off when they don't meet the "3-5 stuck pixel policy."I'm going to ask an RMA from Amazon. Am not sure whether I should exchange it or return it flat-out. Everything else about the monitor seems nice, mainly the 75h refresh rate and usb ports. The displayport problems are so annoying and frustrating November 14, 2015 I want to get straight to the point. The displayport problems are so annoying and frustrating, that I may just send this back and get a different monitor. I liked the idea of having an HDMI and DP monitor because that meant I could plug in my PC and my PS3/4 at the same time! Seemed simple in theory. The HDMI works perfectly! I have not yet found a single problem with HDMI. But the DP just REFUSES to work! I searched the internet for answers, and everyone said to just unplug the monitor and plug it back in. No dice. The next logical conclusion was to find the correct drivers. Well that makes sense, I thought. No dice. After contemplating throwing the monitor at a wall, I tried just one more reboot. And it freaking worked out of nowhere! As of yet I have no single idea why it has worked, and I'm far too afraid that if I turn off the computer it wont work again.+ 2560x1440 looks really nice with my HDMI- Displayport problems are a belt sander to my scrotumBuy at your own risk. I expect better for 400 dollars. | 5% There are no reviews yet | 5% Look Carefully at the MiniDisplayport Shielding. October 29, 2016 Cable works fine as advertised, but I had purchased 2 to hook up into a Mac mini. You'll notice that there is a significant amount of unnecessary shielding around the Minidisplayport connector. There's so much extra shielding, that you cannot use two side by side. Works Fine, But Thunderbolt Connector Housing is Too Large March 19, 2016 Bought these to connect to a Mac Mini and I'd hoped to use two of them to support my dual monitors. Unfortunately the connectors that plug into the Mac Mini won't fit next to one another, because the Thunderbolt connector housing is too bulky. So I used only one of them and used the HDMI port for the other monitor. Lasted a year and a month. One month longer ... February 27, 2016 Lasted a year and a month. One month longer than the 1 year Limited Warranty. In my configuration and use, it gets plugged and unplugged once a day as I bring my laptop home from work and back each day. It started showing signs of intermittent connection for a week: I could jiggle it to make it work. Then I couldn't make it work.I just bought another. Too much bother to find another brand. but for the first 6 month it's a very good cable. This happen me twice (I bought one ... November 16, 2015 It's OK for 6 month only, after that, the cable start fail every other time, and then it gets unusable. but for the first 6 month it's a very good cable. This happen me twice (I bought one on March 2015, and other on April 2014).Now I think I ain't gonna buy it again. Apple Owners With Multiple Monitors Beware! July 28, 2015 It works just fine. There is just one issue I might have problems with later, and any Apple owners should make note of: On this cable's Mini DisplayPort connector, there is a weird "bulge" in the plastic that surrounds the MDP. On many Apple products with 2 Mini DisplayPort inputs (MBP and MacMini), the inputs are too close to allow you to use 2 of these cables side by side. While this might be a fringe case for some, it's a huge issue for me as my two main computers are both Apple products and both affected buy these bulges. Otherwise they seem to be fine. Good construction, but limited bandwidth? July 21, 2015 Construction of the cable seems pretty good, however when I used this with my 144hz 1440p monitor I could only manage to get 60hz out of it.My graphics card is a Radeon 7950 which has mini-displayport out and the monitor only accepts displayport in. I read up on the specs of both mini-DP and DP and both are apparently good enough for that amount of data transfer so I'm not sure why I was limited to 60hz. I'll be getting a new card soon anyway and won't need this cable after it arrives but it's worth noting that it doesn't perform as well as a full DP cable. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 2% Incompatibility Issues with macOS High Sierra GM September 17, 2017 As of 9/17, this cable has compatibility issues with macOS High Sierra GM release. I have reported this to both Apple and Plugable. My cursor freezes every few seconds and makes the computer virtually unusable when the cable is plugged in. Once you unplug, it works just fine.The GM release is usually the final build that ships, so I am assuming this will still be an issue until Apple puts up a supplemental update to High Sierra. Build quality is marginal - a just okay product July 22, 2017 The build quality of this cable is marginal at best - it barely stays plugged into my Dell display. The cable I had connected previously (a new cable from Cable Matters) fit perfectly, and I had no such issues with that cable. The Cable Matters Displayport cable had a locking mechanism on the cable, whereas this one does not. Also, the Cable Matters cable seemed of higher build quality in general.This cable does seem to function - assuming it stays connected to my display, which we'll have to see how that goes. Sticky, yet functioning cable July 21, 2017 Great cable, but wish Plugable could have done without the sticker that says their company name. The sticker left behind very sticky residue. Good Company; Cord needs some work March 12, 2017 1- 1/2 stars for the product. I have bought three, two have failed: one was returned to Plugable and I still have the other. One has worked without any issues. Never sent the other one back because I simply decided I needed another solution due to the unreliable nature of the cord. 5-stars for the company and their support though. Easy to contact and willing to help. I own many other devices they make and, excepting only this one, they are all GREAT values and very reliable. Did not work for all of my monitors March 12, 2017 Careful, these cables don't work for the first TouchBar macs for all monitors sporting a DisplayPort. The new macs only support the newer versions of the DisplayPort standard. Works but somewhat unreliable February 20, 2017 I regularly connect my laptop to two different monitors, a 4K-resolution 27' Dell and a regular (1920x1200) 24' HP. I found that this cable mostly works fine but occasionally the monitors will lose the signal or fail to wake up from sleep; this happens particularly with the 4K Dell (Dell DisplayPort inputs are notoriously finicky). I also own a similar Cable Matters cable, which seems to consistently work better than the Plugable, particularly with the 4K Dell screen. The Cable Matters product also appears to be better made - it has bulkier connector on the USB-C side (which I assume equates better shielding), and the DisplayPort connector locks in place (i.e. you have to depress the unlock button to remove it), differently from the Plugable one that just fits in place and may become dislodged. These differences may explain why the Cable Matters product works more reliably.Overall this cable may be fine, particularly if you don't plan on hooking it up to a 4K display, but I would go for the Cable Matters product instead. |

Two Star Reviews: | 7% Don't use with modern cable boxes and don't count on Rapid Replacement being easy or tech support being helpful January 13, 2017 The monitor is unable to differentiate between a live Comcast cable box (ex. RNG 150N) vs. one which has been powered off and is in Sleep model (since modern cable boxes don’t completely shutdown when powered off but go into kind of a sleep mode that allows background refresh of data like TV guide etc.). So if you are using the monitor with a computer and have a modern cable box that is powered off connected, when the computer goes to sleep the monitor will switch to the sleeping cable box because it thinks it’s live. As there is no way to prevent the monitor from switching inputs automatically the only workaround is to disable sleep on your computer or manually switch back to your computer using the menu which can be a pain if you have to do it a few times a day.ASUS tech support was clueless, I had to send dozens of emails over months and go through a monitor replacement process before I was able to speak to one of their engineers who finally understood the problem and accepted that they have no solution.This monitor comes with a "Rapid Replacement" warranty (https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/690/) but I learnt that was just a sales gimmick asi) they can tell you that they don't have a replacement in stock while all retailers are happily selling it because "in stock" is in internal stock at their repair facility which a customer has no way of verifying.ii) they told me I was responsible for shipping even though 2-way shipping was included in Rapid replacement. After some pressuring they grudgingly agreed to send me a FedEx ground shipping label. So basically, 1wk for the monitor to reach them, 1wk for them to ship it back and at least 2wks for them to attempt repair. So under "RAPID Replacement" you are out of a monitor for at least 1 month. They couldn't even tell me if they were unable to repair what model would they replace with given they claimed to "out of stock" on this one.I had to complain to BBB to get them to honor the terms of “RAPID replacement” and have them ship me a monitor before I sent mine for evaluation. They put a $499 hold on my credit card for that process which was fine with me as the hold is released a day or two after the monitor reaches them.My monitor also developed another problem where after I used the headphones for the first time the regular speakers stopped working. Since I had gotten to know their escalation person because of the earlier issue, I was able to get a replacement for the audio issue without any problems.Overall ok for the price since it’s a 4K monitor but don’t plan on using with a modern cable box and a second input like a computer. Beware of dead pixels. September 20, 2016 I ordered the ASUS PB287Q and when it arrived, I noticed a dead pixel in the bottom corner. Unhappy I submitted a replacement order and was pleased to receive a replacement panel very quickly - though to no avail. Once again there was a stuck blue pixel in the top left portion of the screen as well as having an almost hazy appearance. Frustrated I ordered another replacement, and called Amazon now that I was going to submit a replacement of a replacement. I was reassured that the process would proceed smoothly. When I received my third monitor, there once again were dead pixels to greet me. I requested a refund, which did not process until after delivery plus 4-5 days. All the while I was using a 1080p monitor on a GTX 1080. Thank God for Amazon's replacement/return process, I can only imagine how much worse and drawn out this could have been. For the price it would have been a good value. Other than the dead pixels the monitor would have been satisfactory. Quality control appears to be a real concern with this model. If you don't mind dead/stuck pixels on your ultra high definition panel, this is the panel for you. Decent monitor ruined by poor support April 27, 2016 I use this monitor for photo editing. The picture quality and color balance both look good - while it works.My first monitor developed a problem after about 6 months. It reached the point where it would only recognize the HDMI signal after multiple resets. All of the other inputs seemed to work correctly. (Tested with multiple computers and multiple cables.)I contacted Asus support and spent 15 minutes going through the usual scripted questions. At the end of that the HD technician said that I should send the monitor in and they'd send out a replacement. Since I didn't have the original box to ship it in, I pointed out that this monitor includes their "VIP" support which includes advance shipment. The tech stated that that only applies if they have one available (not what it says in the docs) and that he would check on it. He put me on "hold" - which is to say he terminated my call.I called back and got a different tech. Went through the same process, got the same disclaimer. This time he put me on hold to check and see if there was a monitor available for advance replacement. 10 minutes later he came back and said that there was not a monitor available.I asked to speak to a supervisor. About 15 minutes later he came back and said that there was still no supervisor available but that they had found a monitor to ship me. After I provided my info again, he arranged shipment (though they put a hold on my credit card equal to the retail price of the monitor).The monitor showed up promptly with return shipping (prepaid) provided. (They did promptly release the hold on my CC when they received the faulty monitor.)About 3 hours after I plugged in the replacement monitor I heard a fairly loud "pop" from the back left side of the monitor. The screen went blank and then returned a few seconds later. Since that time, I've used the monitor for 30-40 hours without issues. Yesterday it popped again, and once again the screen went blank for several seconds.I'm going to have to contact their support again and presumably go through all of that hassle again.As an IT manager, I know that support is just as important as product quality. Unfortunately Asus seems not to have learned this lesson yet. Poor QC from ASUS April 23, 2016 These displays are quite nice, colors look good and overall image quality is very nice. They also have a smaller bezel around the display which is nice. However ASUS doesn't seem to QC these panels very well. All of the displays which I have received, four as of writing this, two originally, have had some sort of defect. One of the first I ordered featured some dust and dirt with a bit of hair in between the panes. The replacement then had a grouping of dead pixels in the center of the display. And then the replacement for that also has a group of dead pixels in the center of the display.TL;DR I would steer clear of these displays till there is some improvement in the QC, especially for a display in this price range. Possible bad power supply on original and replacement November 29, 2015 I ordered the ASUS PB278Q for home because I had been using one at work and was impressed by the picture quality. A couple of weeks after using the new monitor at home, I noticed that on occasion, the monitor would make an audible 'snap' sound and the picture would flash or go blank for two or three seconds, then come back. When using for long periods of time, I noticed that the 'snap' would occur every two or three hours.I returned the monitor and received a replacement. After using the replacement monitor for a while, noticed that it had the same problem. I didn't immediately request to return the second monitor, and now I'm past the 30 days from when the original was shipped. I hear that dealing with ASUS can be a hassle and am not looking forward to that.From what I've read, it sounds like the snapping sound could be caused by a bad capacitor in the power supply. My work purchased dozens of these monitors and has not seen this problem, yet I've seen it with two in a row. Makes me wonder if ASUS got a bad batch of capacitors... Very good resolution but milky white hue creates UNACCEPTABLE blacks driving me absolutely mad!!! December 21, 2014 This monitor is very sharp and clear as you would expect. Unlike some of the reviewers with negative comments I was able to get it running at 4k resolution with 60hz. My fundamental issue is not with those things like many others. My issue is like one reviewer called a "Milky white" hue over the entire monitors image. I've tried every combination of cables, Calibration on my 15 Retina Macbook pro (Summer 2014) and there is nothing that i can do to get this monitor to produce the color black or anything close to being acceptable as black. For this reason I can't give it more than 2 stars even though in every other way (only after 2 days using it) it seems to be pretty darn good for the price.My next issue is that I spent an hour submitting and resubmitting my case to the Asus website... which did everything it could to make my entering of information difficult and ensure I was human but didn't do nearly enough to actually accept and process my case. All I could get after doing this approximately 4 times with a ton of issues along the way, was an error after the submission with no other feedback. I assume that because i never got an email from them saying the case was received that I had done this so many times for no reason at all. And I refuse to sit on the phone for hours and hours getting little to no help like the other reviewers with issues did. I'm extremely technical and did everything possible to save this monitor from needing to go back but not having the color black and living with everything looking like it has a white film over it is unacceptable for a 600 dollar piece of equipment, especially when the 170 dollar Samsung WUXGA monitor next to it has much better color while not being special enough to sit on the same desk.I really really wish I could fix this issue but this doesn't appear to be driver related etc.Just to frame it up I used DP 1.1 and 1.2 configurations (Monitor's menus), am using a 2014 MBP retina 15 (4k@ 30 and 60hz) and a 2013 MBP retina 13 (only runs at 2560x1600). I went through the Mac display expert mode calibration process and managed to get the monitor to the best image i could manage. After not looking at another monitor while using it this yielded semi-acceptable results.... except when you put up anything with black being a major part of the color palette. This is where it all falls apart and i become Extremely disappointed and highly annoyed for every second i have to look at these 'dark grey blacks'.The image i have attached is the result of many hours of tweaking and calibrating. The picture was in a poorly lit room so the monitor is getting more credit than it deserves but the one on the right is the Asus PB287Q and the one on the right is a 170/dollar 24 inch samsung with hardly any inputs of features (running at 1900x1200). You can see that this 'best' image i could derive out of the Asus hardly passes for black when compared to the Cheap Samsung. | 3% There are no reviews yet | 5% Doesn't work with an early 2013 Macbook Pro w/retina display November 9, 2017 Found out the hard way this cable doesn't work with an early 2013 Macbook Pro w/retina display because the Thunderbolt ports are first generation. Cable works fine on another laptop. Really needed this to work with a 4k monitor and my MacBook. Found a way to make it work with an HDMI cable. Cable stopped working after 6 months September 17, 2016 It does its job. have had no issues. Will update if any arise!Update 3/18/17: Bought the cable last September, it just died on me. I went to start my PC one day and only one of my monitors connected. I switched cables and my monitor still works, so it has to be the cable. Worked great for 6 months! Works...until it breaks June 23, 2014 Worked great right out of the box...only solution to get full resolution out of my Dell monitor. Until I tried to remove the cable from the back. The little latches are hard to press down, so I pulled a little hard and the cable head literally disintegrated in my hand. VERY poorly constructed, almost like it was not made in a factory.So, it works, but might fall apart if you wiggle it too much. Buying it again to replace the old one, no other options. Worked great, until it did not work. October 27, 2013 This cable was great while it worked, but recently failed, most likely from bending it too much.I purchased this cable to connect my MacBook to a 24" monitor, it worked well, did its job until it started to fail/blink, then give a noisy signal.I'm guessing it started to fail because I unplug and replug my laptop into my monitor often. It is a thick cable and I guess that did not help the situation. Anyways, I've had it for less than a month and it has stopped working all together. Yours lasted for 3 months? Gee, mine lasted about a week August 21, 2013 It seems this product is really hit or miss. I purchased it happily and used it with exuberance on my shiney new VG248QE, a 144hz monitor from ASUS.Unfortunately, after about a week of happy gaming I woke one day to "Displayport NO SIGNAL". My CCC pops up and tells me that I have a problem with the link/displayport. I swap to HDMI (which makes me lose out on the 144hz benefits for the monitor) and the monitor springs up to life.I read reviews, and find that other people have had problems with this cable dying in a short period of time -- though none as short as a week, like mine has.I will purchase a different cable and report back whether or not it was truly the cable -- but in the meantime, be cautious going forward! Cable failed within two months June 6, 2013 Unable to support over 800x600 resolution after two months. ATI Catalyst says DP cable has malfunctioned. I bought two cables, the other works, also tested it in my other DP port to verify no issues with port. Going to have to buy a different brand now. I will admit that I regularly unplug and replug in this cable in order to force my graphics card to output sound through HDMI rather than the DP ports as they take priority. I would estimate I've unplugged it around twenty times at this point. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 2% Doesn't play nice with 2017 MBP & Bootcamp August 23, 2017 Cable connected to 2017 MacBook Pro, works fine in MacOS, but they're not working when using BootCamp / Windows 10. If it didn't work in MacOS I'd give it 1 star. I like that the cable is relatively thin February 28, 2017 I like that the cable is relatively thin. Also when attached it doesn't have the two prongs that require a hard press to detach. Unfortunately it keeps crashing my 2016 15" Macbook Pro w/ Touchbar. If the computer goes to sleep, waking it up causes crashing. I've tried two of this cable and it's the same issue. My monitor supports Thunderbolt, when connected through that everything seems to work perfectly fine. So long story short, returning and moving on with my life. Cable arrived damaged February 9, 2017 Cable looks durable but it arrived damage with a slit cut into it. I am returning it and will purchase another one. Hopefully, this was a fluke. |

One Star Reviews: | 10% Display Port died in <1 year, Dead Pixel-Middle of Screen!! August 13, 2017 I received this monitor in Dec '17. Today, as I was typing, it went black with a small temporary message that said no DisplayPort detected. I have unplugged my monitors ensuring this one is the only one plugged in, restarted the computer, used a different DisplayPort cable, and various other combinations of troubleshooting steps to try and resolve the issue(no recent updates). Bottom Line: I paid $369 for an Asus 2k monitor that had a DP port go bad on me after a feeble 8 months of use. I am unequivocally upset about the endurance quality of this product. I didn't bother posting a bad review when I first received it after noticing a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, but I will definately add that experience to my review now. Worked great for 9 months then white line. Doing RMA is a month turn around using fedex ground.. Means no monitor for a month.. January 5, 2017 update. After nearly 9 months to the day of purchase, it developed a white line vertically. Asus support i contacted, filling out form didnt reply to me on day 1. Day 2 I recontacted Asus and was told I need to RMA, no advanced RMA using a credit card hold to obtain new replacement first, gave info for RMA and a shipping label for fedex ground shipping to Industry CA. That's 5 business day shipping. Then they need 7-10 business days to repair, provided they have parts. Then they return ship, I would imagine also by ground which is 5 days. So basically a month turn around since they refuse to do an advance RMA. Google reviews on Asus Advance RMA. It's a joke where they will not respond and still takes a month.. The products are great while they last then once you have to RMA you might as well buy a non ASUS replacement. Once you get your product back month or longer, its like a surprise gift as originally you were about to put in trash.. Rapid replacement of 1 month is the best case scenario when they go bad... More likely to take MONTHS according to reviews...In the 9 months it did work, it worked great, it was very clear reading text articles online. Good features on monitor for selecting different brightness's for things like movies gaming etc, I'm happy with cost. No dead pixels in year+ using where I use it multiple hours everyday to game or read. Few inches around edges is the amount of back light bleed from edges that is only noticeable when on a black screen during pc boot up. I do not see that during use once it is in Windows 10. The 4k and dpi that Windows 10 auto selected was perfect. I game with a Geforce 1070 at 4k using this monitor and very happy, it's 60hz to me so 60fps works well without chopping or lag. The back light bleed during boot up is only imperfection I found causing 4 stars originally prior to the white line issue developing at 9 months. Sorta sad, sorta mad, but mostly glad that Amazon supports what it sells. December 7, 2015 I had this monitor for about 2 weeks and it was pretty awesome.Then yesterday morning it didn't start up right away, and after 25 minutes of playing silly buggers with rebooting and cable swapping such, it came up with a 1 pixel green line about 4-5 inches (didn't measure it) from the right hand side.I tried to open a case through the ASUS online chat, but that required I open a case over the web. However their search box gave an "Access Denied" error.S0 I called in. Apparently their Tech Support line was overflowing, because I got someone who took my name and phone number and promised a return call within an hour.And I know you'll be SHOCKED to find out it didn't happen.So I tried their email support form, which refused to let me through on a perfectly ( see RFC 822 or google "email plus addressing" ) valid email address.This morning the monitor again failed to start immediately, so it's going back to Amazon (thanks guys) and I'll be buying from Not Asus for a few years.I realize with modern manufacturing that not everything is perfect, but if you can't properly size your technical support lines, either your assembly lines need to be fixed, or your product design. Didn't last 4 days September 16, 2015 The 2nd day I had it, it had issues getting a signal. Pulling cables, powering things off, pulling cables again, and again, and finally able to get it to display again. The same incident happened on the 4th day, but no combination of cables and removing power would bring it back. Rather than risk getting another dud, I opted to return it. crazy backlight bleeding, and im on my 3rd one! April 1, 2015 i am on my 3rd of these monitors, monitor roulette. 1st one, pretty bad bleeding, especially in the lower left. i returned it on amazon, got a new one, slightly worse on the replacement. what is odd, is if you very gently touch the lower left and upper right corners, the bleeding is reduced dramatically. almost like the screen isnt secured well enough. seems to be fine on the lower right and upper left, which makes no sense.anyways heres a pic, do see. it mostly is ok if you have a light on in your room, but trying to play a game with dark scenes or a movie, it is very noticeable, which is after adjusting the monitor settings (like brightness at 20/30 %) and enabling tracefree at around 60 which is supposed to be the ideal setting for this monitor.hope this helps someone buying this monitor, from the reviews i have read some people get no bleeding (but with standard ips glow), which others have some crazy bleeding like mine. guess it really is a lottery buying these kinds of monitors, which is a shame because it really is a nice one. Amazing in every way, except for the only one that matters - the picture. December 31, 2014 I had this monitor out of the box and back into it, ready to be returned, in the span of about two hours. After setting it up, the backlight bleed in all four corners and across the entire bottom edge of the panel was so offensive it warped white into yellow and black into off-green. I understand that IPS and PLS panels are prone to edge bleeding and "IPS glow", especially in 27+ inch displays, but this specific instance far exceeds what can be considered acceptable. I'm willing to give this monitor another shot and have another one in the mail, but until then the 1-star review will stick.What's the point of a monitor with amazing color reproduction when the backlight completely devastates those colors on 1/3 of the screen? At least a TN panel's colors are uniformly washed-out and can be corrected with a good ICC profile - not even dropping the brightness to 0 could remove the bright spots on this travesty. | 5% There are no reviews yet | 14% Stopped working after 8 hours. Returning and don't want a replacement. May 31, 2017 Must be made as cheaply as possible. Literally stopped working after 8 hours of use. Buy a different one. 50% failure rate January 1, 2016 I have had 2 of 4 cables fail on me. One lasted about a month, the other lasted around 2.5 months (randomly failed today). I have also had 1 of 2 Cables Matters brand HDMI 90 degree adapters fail on me as well (it was DOA). A 50% failure rate is absolutely unacceptable and I am now done with everything made and sold by Cable Matters. I highly recommend looking elsewhere for electronics connections and cables. Like others, failed after 6 weeks of use July 1, 2015 Cable failed after 6 weeks of use. My experience is exactly like California Bill's when he writes:"Started out fine, but signal failed after about 6 weeks ... I had this connected to an external monitor, and would connect my work laptop or home macbook when I needed a dual monitor setup. At first, I thought the connector wasn't fully engaged in the Mini DP port on the laptop/Mac, but then it just quit linking to the monitor. I tried it on another monitor...same issue. I ended up buying another cable from another brand. Won't be buying from these guys again."The difference is that I had this connected to a Mac Mini and brand new monitor for the past 6 weeks and it got about 2-3 hours of use per day. Like Bill's, mine flickered in a way that made me question if the connector wasn't fully engaged and then it just stopped sending a signal earlier today.Very disappointing since the 30-day return policy expired 10 days ago. And, although Cable Matters offers a "one-year limited warranty" on this cable, when you go to their seller information page and look up the warranty information, it just refers you back to Amazon (who won't replace the cable because it's been more than 30 days since purchased). Those are your options. Super frustrating.My only advice is to look elsewhere for a similar item. Garbage February 8, 2015 This cable stopped working after a few months of use. My monitor started having issues with flickering and going black. I thought my GPU was going out on me but I swapped back to HDMI and the issues went away. Disappointed I haven't been able to use my monitor to full potential since and don't want to waste money on another cable that will go out again. Flickers on MacBook Pro September 24, 2013 I purchased this cable to pair with a MacBook Pro and a Dell 23" display here in our office. Unfortunately, it developed an annoying flicker problem after a couple of months. The Dell monitor works just fine on another PC, so I'm going to buy another cable from a different seller. This one did not cut it. Does not last. Spend a little more now for a better cable. April 22, 2013 Bought two of these cables for two separate monitors and they worked well at first, maybe had to jiggle it a bit to get it to connect, but after two months one started to fritz out. Thought maybe just a dud or the monitor, but then the other cable started fritzing out on that monitor, swapped around and bought a new cable and it was in fact the cables. Both wore out at around the same time and only had them for 2 months. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 11% Does not support 4k between late edition MacBook Pros and Dell 4k monitor October 25, 2017 Only one star simply because it did not work to connect my late 2016 15” MacBook Pro to the Dell 4K P2415Q monitor, despite indicating it supports 4k at 60hz. Best resolution I could get, without scaling via the MBP, was 1980x1060. When scaling, cable did not support 4k resolution. Never worked. October 16, 2017 I tried to use this cable for an external monitor from my laptop. This cable never worked. Lasted 2 months.... July 26, 2017 Worked well with my new Macbook Pro 2017, was getting 4k @ 60hzUNTIL a few days ago. The cable slowly started to die.At first every few hours I would have to re-plugin the cable. And now it is just dead. Cables don't work properly with 2016+ MacBook Pro. June 15, 2017 Cables don't work properly with 2016+ MacBook Pro. When the computer goes to sleep, and then wakes, both the MacBook Pro and the monitor have a solid black screen. A few times I got a solid green screen, kernel panic, crash.I tested this on multiple monitors and always had the same experience. I went to Apple and they did a diagnostic and my MacBook Pro passed without any issues.I then went to an electronic store and bought a similar cable from another brand and it works flawless.The common denominator for my problems seems to be the Pluggable cable.Very disappointed that cannot return the cables. I am now stick with 2 Pluggable cables that don't work for my setup at all. I'm sure they may work great for other laptops and devices, but my 2016+ MacBook Pro doesn't work well with these cables. I have order 2 of these cables for my Lenovo ... October 24, 2016 I have order 2 of these cables for my Lenovo P50 and both cables died about a week after getting them. This product is complete junk! Do yourself a favor and do not buy this cable. |
