Product Alert:IPS (In-Plane-Switching) is a new technology for LCD displays that offers users wider viewing angles and bolder colors by allowing more light to pass through the panel. As a result, IPS panels can exhibit a slight glow around the edges and corners (also known as light bleed), which is entirely normal.

MX279H IPS LED Full HD Monitor

Beauty Beyond Boundaries

Inspired by millennia of artistic legacy, the new Designo MX Series sports an elegant, award-winning sundial design and edge-to-edge frameless AH-IPS A+ panel with a 178-degree ultra-wide viewing angle that delivers incredible Full HD visuals in style. Built-in ASUS SonicMaster Technology, co-developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower makes for an incredibly immersive premium audio experience that ensures what you hear is true to the source. MX Series are ideal for side-by-side multi-monitor setup thanks to its ultra-narrow bezel for a more complete image. Featuring dual HDMI ports, connect multiple devices at once without having to switch between ports.

Subtle & Elegant Design

ASUS Designo MX Series displays sport ultra-slim profiles — with the MX279H measuring just 17.5mm at its thinnest point– thereby minimizing desk space requirements. In addition, the MX Series presents an edge-to-edge frameless screen with bezel thickness of just 0.8mm. This subtle but elegant design is further accentuated by a sundial-inspired stand which provides a sturdy base for the monitor. Outshining the competition, MX Series has already garnered accolades at the 2012 Good Design Awards and won a Best of CES 2013 award.

Vivid, Lifelike Visuals

The MX279H monitor feature a 16:9 aspect ratio, LED-backlit AH-IPS A+ panel with a 178° wide-view angle that minimizes color shift on both horizontal and vertical planes for high-quality visuals from almost any direction. AH-IPS is the latest in IPS technology – delivering improved color accuracy plus increased energy efficiency.

Premium Audio Quality

Engineered with SonicMaster sound and a Bang & Olufsen ICEpower MobileSound 3 amplifier, the MX Series features up to 32mm diameter speakers for greater and smoother sound impact with better bass performance. It also offers a resonance chamber of up to 100cc, expanding monitor sound range to new extremes. A built-in amplifier powers speaker sound reproduction, just like a car engine with more horsepower powers a car for better performance. MX279H uses up to 5-watt amplifiers per channel, with speakers embedding large rare earth magnets to generate more powerful and striking sound.

Dual HDMI Ports

The Designo MX279H supports Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution and has dual HDMI and a D-sub (VGA) input ports to ensure compatibility with a variety of multimedia devices including Blu-ray disc players, game consoles, and digital cameras for complete connectivity to various devices.

QuickFit Virtual Scale

The Designo MX279H supports Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution and has dual HDMI and a D-sub (VGA) input port to ensure compatibility with a variety of multimedia devices including Blu-ray disc players, game consoles, and digital cameras for complete connectivity to various devices.

ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio

With ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio (ASCR) of 80,000,000:1 and 250cd/m² brightness, MX279H augments display contrast and sharpness by adjusting backlighting luminance to achieve the deepest blacks and brightest whites for truly lifelike visuals.

QuickFit Virtual Scale

ASUS includes its exclusive QuickFit Virtual Scale feature with the MX279H, allowing you to preview photos and documents on-screen in their actual size prior to printing. It can be activated via a monitor hotkey, and serves as a highly useful guide to accurately view and edit photos in their native size.

Splendid Video Intelligence Technology

ASUS Splendid optimizes color and image fidelity and corrects sharpness, color and contrast to produce enhanced visuals. Five preset modes selected via the Splendid hotkey on the front bezel.

UPDATE 4/15/2014: More than a year later, this monitor is still working perfectly! Also it appears the ICC profile was removed from the ASUS site - not sure where it can be found now.

UPDATE 2/8/13: Be sure to download the correct ICC profile (driver) from Asus' website - this file is critical as it defines the proper color space for this monitor. You will need to manually enter device manager to install this driver, otherwise you will use the Windows default. The windows 7 version works fine on windows 8. I occasionally noticed some green pixelating effect in certain .mkv movie files, that disappeared when I loaded the correct ICC profile.

My ASUS MX279H arrived snugly packed and covered in plenty of protective tapes. Included were a VGA cable, HDMI to DVI (male) cable, 3.5mm AUX audio cable and proprietary power adapter. This is a design tradeoff - the panel is so slim because the power adapter is external. It is the size of a MacBook power adapter, and is one more thing you need to keep track of if you decide to move this monitor as any old power cable will not work.

Thankfully, the monitor arrived with no dead/stuck pixels. Out of the box, the monitor was extremely bright and this washed out the colors. The monitor definitely needed calibration out of the box (hint: they all do). In addition, some of my biggest fears were backlight bleed and unbalanced lighting. I am happy to report that along with no dead/stuck pixels, backlighting was extremely even and there was almost no bleed (see uploaded picture). The silver base attaches with a single screw, and is very stable. Kicking the desk barely shook the monitor, and if you find yourself kicking your desk often, seek therapy.

I'm using a 2012 Mac Mini with an HDMI cable and the text is not as sharp as my 2007 iMac. In checking various forums, it was recommended to try a VGA to Mini DV port adapter. I have it on order (thank you Amazon Prime). Having said that, it looks incredible with a Windows PC DVI to HDMI adapter. I think it's a great monitor for the price so I have to give it 5 stars. I have not had the banding issues another reviewer complained about. If you want a truly exceptional 27" monitor, expect to spend 3x this price. I'm happy with the price/performance. It looks great on my desk. I provide my own hardware for work and am tempted to get another of these for use at work with a Lenovo i5 laptop running Windows 7. I'll update my review once the VGA adapter arrives. I would not hesitate to order this monitor, just make sure you also have the right cables from the start.

Update after securing VGA adapter.... LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. The text is sharp and clear and the graphics look great. I'm becoming happier with this purchase every day.

This was an impulse purchase for me. I quickly looked at the star ratings without doing further research and it turns out; there's no VESA mounting options! Oh well... That's my fault for not checking. Otherwise, it's a beautiful monitor. Very thin front to back and a thin bezel. It is lightweight compared to other monitors of the same size and it looks really slick and high tech. Text is easy to read. It has a matte screen; which I mention because it's sibling, the ASUS VG27AH, does not. The only issue I had was that the image I got was smaller than the screen size - I had to go into my Catalyst Control Center (my video card software), and select the overscan option.

Pros:
- The bezel. Highly underrated, but it would be hard to go back to a monitor that didn't possess such design prowess. Its slim-ness only accentuates how sleek the entire model looks.
- Very minimalistic. Not a lot of extra eye-candy outside of the display itself, but it does make use of a nice chrome finish.
- Thin panel. It's around the ballpark of the thickest smartphones around today.
- Easy to put together. The monitor comes in two pieces, the panel and sundial stand. Simple.
- 27" 1080p display.
- 2 hdmi ports; very handy if you wanna connect any combination of, say, your laptop/desktop, gaming console or TV.

Cons:
- The touch sensitive buttons are more than a little too sensitive. But after getting the ideal settings in place, you most likely won't have to fumble through the menus again.
- Speaker quality could be better. It feels a little muted at times, but this can be easily remedied if you already have a sound system to overlook this completely.

I do a lot in terms of media consumption, gaming and design. So far the response time for gaming performs very well; you would only have to worry, I suppose, if you were playing a fighting game competitively and each and every frame is absolutely crucial. While using Photoshop/Illustrator I found the display to be a hair too saturated on default settings, but that can be easily adjusted through the on-board menus. Movies look phenomenal, and if you're a big VLC user (or anything that utilizes stylized subtitles) the subtitles appear crisp and vivid.

If you're an everyday, run of the mill user, I would still recommend this even solely on the basis of sheer size.
