27" Asus MG278Q gaming monitor performance benchmarks
Skærmen har en VESA mount. Med hensyn til pixeldensitet har Asus MG278Q en fremragende tæthed på 109 pixel pr. Tomme, hvilket resulterer i skarpere tekst og billedkvalitet. Med AMD FreeSync-understøttelsen er denne skærm kompatibel med både AMD- og NVIDIA-grafikkort. For den gennemsnitlige svarhastighed er Asus MG278Q scorerne 4 ms, som sikrer effektiv synkronisering med den høje opdateringshastighed. For de ekstremt hurtige billedhastigheder har Asus MG278Q en maksimal opdateringshastighed på 144 Hz, der muliggør en glattere gameplay. Asus MG278Q har et samlet inputlag på 13.5 ms, hvilket er fremragende blandt konkurrencen. For grafikfarvekvalitet har Asus MG278Q en fremragende farvedybde på 8 -bit, hvilket resulterer i glattere gradienter og mere præcise farver. For at kompensere for grafisk krævende spil har Asus MG278Q en meget god lavendet adaptiv opdateringshastighed på 35 Hz, som kan tilpasse sig mere lavere billedfrekvensdråber. Minste svarfrekvens for Asus MG278Q er 1 ms, hvilket eliminerer spøgelsesvirkninger. Asus MG278Q har displayporten, og det er vigtigt for NVIDIA-kort at arbejde med AMD FreeSync. Lysstyrken på Asus MG278Q er lavere end andre skærme. Det er værd at bemærke, at Asus MG278Q er en forholdsvis gammel skærm. Skærmen har et unimpressivt kontrastforhold på 1000 : 1. Skærmen bruger et TN-panel, der lider af farveforskydning, når det ses fra vandrette og vertikale vinkler og har lidt vasket farver i forhold til IPS- og VA-paneler.

Nvidia driver 417.71 no working properly on Asus MG278Q
Hello guys,
I come with a problem that I am trying to fix since the launch of the driver.
As you all already know the new nvidia driver 417.71 has been launched. Gsync is now enabled for freesync displays.
I am using a Asus MG 278Q monitor with freesync. This monitor is part of the 12 Certified monitors by Nvidia.
All good on this part, the second I install the driver with ASync/Freesync enabled at some point almost the end the my pc will completely freeze.
Hmmm ook, I found a workaround, if I disable Async and try to install it, nothing happens, the installation works successfully.
Here comes the real problems, sometimes Async works without any problems when launching windows, however I encounter 3 big issues not all in the same time:
1. My monitor only displays exact half of my screen (left side is being displayed right side is completely black)
2. Similar to point 1 buuut the right side is frozen.
3. Everything is fine for around 15 seconds until my pc freezes.
My troubleshooting steps:
1. Used DDU to clean the driver and freshly install it on my PC
2. Reinstalled my OS.
3. Tried all the DP ports on GPU.
4. Used a different DP cable.
5. Tested the monitor to my xbox one S which has enabled the freesync function and there are no issues.
My PC specs:
CPU: Intel i5 4590
MOBO: AsRock h97 pro 4
GPU: Gigabyte G1 GTX 1070
RAM: Hyper X Fury blue 1600Mhz
Monitor: Asus MG278Q
If you have any suggestions please do let me know because I don't know what to do.
Probably is happening because of the driver but...one of my friends is using the same monitor and he does not have any problems.

Asus PB287Q vs Asus MG278Q
Hello all, i am having an extremely difficult time between deciding these 2 monitors.
My GPU is GTX 1080 Ti. Please note i ONLY want a monitor with 1ms response time so IPS panels are NOT an option.
I really don't know much about general quality of these two. Can you tell me which of these 2 TN panels have better picture quality and/or contrast ratio?
Also if i DO buy a 4K monitor and i play some games at 1440p resolution (to get better performance) will the quality be much poorer then MG278Q (because its not the native resolution)?

Neither.
1ms response time is a bunch of marketing BS, they apply extreme overdrive settings which result in overshoot and ghosting, most '1ms' monitor are around 4-5ms anyway, the IPS 1440p 144hz monitors average about 5.
I play SC2 competitively, I can't tell any difference at all between '1ms' and 4ms if that's any extra justification.
For the first time ever i have finaly taken the step and tryed a monitor with refresh rates above 60hz.
I bought a ASUS MG278Q 144hz 1440p monitor with Freesync.
I got it connected over DP, and as my second monitor im using an old acer 60hz 1080p monitor, for watching streams etc. (The second monitor does not have freesync)
If i start a video on the second monitor, im not loosing more than 1-3 fps in my game (WoW) but freesync seems to get disabled, leaving the game more choppy, as the framerate goes up and down when you'r playing.
If i drag the video window from my second monitor, and over to my main monitor, the choppyness is gone.
I dont have any prior experience with freesync, and i did some googling but i could not find any answers. Does anyone have any experience with this?
PS: It does not happen if i just leave spotify on my second monitor.

MG278Q monitor supports 144hz, only able to show up to 120hz
I recently got a display that runs 144hz. I hooked it up to my GTX760 graphics card via Display Port. When I went to change the adapter settings I could select up to 120hz, but nothing higher. I also noticed that the monitor was called a generic PNP monitor instead of by its name, making me believe there was a driver missing. Alas Asus has so drivers available for this monitor. I also downloaded the latest driver from nvidia to no avail. I swapped the monitor over to dvi to see if that works but it does not. Now I am at a loss for ideas.

Asus MG278Q vs Asus MG279Q
Can someone please tell me the difference between the Asus MG278Q and the Asus MG279Q? the latter is more expensive and I would appreciate it if someone let me know why

The difference is that the MG278Q is a TN panel and the MG279Q is an IPS panel. If you do not know the difference here is an exert from http://www.tnpanel.com/tn-vs-ips-va/
TN
TN (Twisted Nematic) is the most common technology and also the oldest. The main advantage is that it provides the shortest response times, making them good for gaming. In combination with LED back-lighting, TN monitors also offer high brightness and draw less power than competing technologies. Another important factor is that they are cheap to manufacture, resulting in low prices for end users.
The drawbacks to the technology is the color shifts that occur at wider viewing angles. There are large differences in quality between different products, but the lower-end ones will exhibit color shift even at moderate angle changes. A TN-based display can usually be identified through these color distortions when viewing the picture from above or from the sides.
IPS
The main advantages with IPS monitors is that the technology offer noticeably better color reproduction as well as much better viewing angles. The downside used to be a difficulty to emphasize blacks, which in turn meant problems with the contrast. IPS panels were also very expensive and slow in the beginning.
Now the manufacturers have started producing so-called Super-IPS (S-IPS) panels at reasonable prices. Response times have crept down considerably and the contrast is much better. In addition, color display and the options to calibrate the colors are superior to the other panel types. IPS panels keep colors constant, even in sharp angles.
Hvad skal du overveje, før du køber et grafikkort
Hvis du har planer om at opgradere dit system ved at købe et nyt grafikkort. Så er der nogle vigtige faktorer at overveje.
Opløsning VS Kvalitet: Indvirkning på spilytelse
Hvad påvirker spilytelsen? Klarhed eller detaljer?
Ultra VS Højkvalitetsindstillinger i PC-spil
Hver spiller har et andet begreb om den ideelle indstilling til pc-spil. Men i de fleste tilfælde vælger man en grafikkonfiguration af høj kvalitet.
Hvad er CPU eller GPU flaskehalse?
Får du pludselige rammeledninger? du har måske en flaskehals.
Hvad er den acceptable FPS-hastighed for mig?
For nogle spil kan du stadig nyde flotte gaver ved lavere billedfrekvenser.
