Review: excellent monitor; perfect for Nvidia 3D - I bought this monitor to do Nvidia 3d because it was recommended by Nvidia. If you use it with a good Nvidia 3D card (eg. Geforce 680) and the Nvidia 3D glasses, you'll have a great experience. I went through a couple of other monitors that claimed to support it, but didn't have any luck until I got this one. Gaming with this setup is so immersive and so much fun I just bought a second set for my boyfriend. The brightness level is very good. It has many inputs. The stand is sturdy and the monitor can be raised or lowered by several inches. (You cannot tilt the screen, it's straight up and down, but I think that's for optimal 3D viewing and it doesn't bother me at all.) It has a matte finish that reduces glare. It's very crisp and I never notice lag or ghosting while gaming in 3D. I suggest playing in a room with the lights off for the best experience. Review: Do not I Repeat DO Not buy this if you plan to use your PS3 for 3D - First of all this monitor is great for what it does 144hz refresh rate and 3D gaming on the PC. Absolutely AMAZING and I thought the PC gamers was just bluffing when they say " you can literally catch Two Face's coin when he tosses it in Arkham City " Ok ok, maybe we are not there yet but it's leaps and bound above the the current consoles. You will not be disappointed in this great monitor at all. You will however be disappointed if you didn't do hard enough research that you can't use the PS3 in 3D mode. Why because you will have to plug the 3D emitter sensor in a usb port and needs to be detected by the graphics card or some mumbo jumbo who really knows. Only the Asus VG278H which is almost the same thing except it has the 3D emitter built in and 120hz instead of 144hz can do 3D with the PS3. Guess you can't win all the time right? Ok so this monitor is great overall. You can adjust sharpness, brightness, and color saturation unlike most monitor where you can only do it from the gpu. Your PS3 will look great on this monitor in 2D and your PC games will look outstanding, especially in 3D. Asus has a winner here for sure but if you want the whole package minus like 24hz refresh rate, get the Asus VG278H. You will get more bang for your buck and the people that reviewed that monitor probably just doesn't know how to enable the emitter and make excuses that it malfunction easily. ## Features - Display Type: Widescreen LCD - Display Area: 27" - Max/Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080 - Interface: 1x VGA Port, 1x DVI-D Port (Supports NVIDIA 3D Vision), 1x HDMI Port, 1x 3.5mm Mini-jack ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00906HM6K | | Adaptive Sync | FreeSync | | Additional Features | 3D, Height Adjustment | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Brand | ASUS | | Connectivity Technology | HDMI, VGA, dvi-d | | Contrast Ratio | 2000:1 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 292 Reviews | | Display Resolution Maximum | 1920 x 1080 pixels | | Display Technology | LED | | Display Type | LED | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00734911160804 | | Hardware Connectivity | HDMI, VGA | | Image Contrast Ratio | 2000:1 | | Item Weight | 17.6 pounds | | Manufacturer | ASUS Computer International Direct | | Model Name | VG278HE | | Model Number | VG278HE | | Mounting Type | Wall Mount | | Native Resolution | 1920x1080 | | Picture Quality Enhancement Technology | NVIDIA 3D Vision | | Refresh Rate | 144 hertz | | Resolution | FHD 1080p | | Response Time | 2 milliseconds | | Screen Finish | Glossy | | Screen Size | 27 inches | | Screen Surface Description | Glossy | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | Total Number of HDMI Ports | 1 | | UPC | 734911160804 886227206193 | | Warranty Type | 3 Years Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ASUS - **Screen Size:** 27 Inches - **Resolution:** FHD 1080p - **Aspect Ratio:** 1.78:1 - **Screen Surface Description:** Glossy ## Images ![ASUS VG278HE 27" Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 2ms HDMI DVI-D VGA Ergonomic Back-lit LED Gaming Monitor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/419zLupxaNL.jpg) ![ASUS VG278HE 27" Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 2ms HDMI DVI-D VGA Ergonomic Back-lit LED Gaming Monitor - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fst2stsNL.jpg) ![ASUS VG278HE 27" Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 2ms HDMI DVI-D VGA Ergonomic Back-lit LED Gaming Monitor - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rfOYQmyDL.jpg) ![ASUS VG278HE 27" Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 2ms HDMI DVI-D VGA Ergonomic Back-lit LED Gaming Monitor - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/414M3b9CiJL.jpg) ![ASUS VG278HE 27" Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 2ms HDMI DVI-D VGA Ergonomic Back-lit LED Gaming Monitor - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/417sTZuwbrL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Difference between this and the VG278H?** A: VG278H is an older version of VG278HE. The difference between VG278H and VG278HE is VG278H built in with emitter and come with nvidia 3D vision 2 glass while VG278HE only come with the monitor. So pretty much VG278H come with the whole set so you don't have buy anything extra. But VG278H has only 120Hz refresh rate while VG278HE has 144Hz refresh rate. I do not recommend you get VG278H because it has very bad reputation with bad built in emitter so your glass keep get disconnect while you playing games in 3D. Just get VG278HE and buy one set of nvidia glass + emitter seperately. Not only VG278HE has 144Hz refresh rate, it's also newer than VG278H which mean VG278HE has more improvement than VG278H. By the way there is also a newer version of VG278HE which is VG278HR. VG278HR also built in with emitter and come with nvidia vision 2 glass but it has 144HZ refresh rate. I don't know if VG278HR has the same problem with bad built in emitter that VG278H has or not. But either way there is no reason to get VG78H since you have the choice between VG278HE or VG278HR. So this is the order from the newest to oldest: VG278HR(144HZ) > VG278HE (144Hz) > VG278H (120Hz). **Q: Do you have to enable to 144hz or does it switch on its own?** A: You need to manually set your Window's output to 144hz, this is NOT automatic. You do this by: Right-Click on empty space on Desktop --> Screen resolution --> Advanced Settings -->Monitor Tab --> Drop down for 'Refresh Rate' --> Set to 144hz. Apply **Q: What is the resolution of this monitor?** A: 1920 X 1080 at 144HZ is the TRUE resolution of this monitor. This is also known as the NATIVE RES. **Q: Would these glasses (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SSG-5150GB-3D-Active-Glasses/dp/B00INO6JX2/ref=cm_cd_f_pb_t) work on this?** A: I don't think so. I have those glasses here and they only work with the Samsung tv.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent monitor; perfect for Nvidia 3D *by E***P on February 3, 2014* I bought this monitor to do Nvidia 3d because it was recommended by Nvidia.

Once I take a minute to think a bit harder about my experience: *Important note*: To get full resolution 1920x1080 @ above 60 you will need to use dual link DVI. The monitor comes with this cable, but you need to make sure you graphics card supports it as well. I first swapped out with my old monitor and used its HDMI cable with my brand new Asus. When using an HDMI cable everything was scaled down (one inch of black bars around the window and 60hz only). I read the manual very closely and on one of the last pages it mentions the operating max resolution and hz for each cabling standard. So just save yourself the time and use the included dual link cable DVI cable. Another item that I have noticed is that on my AMD 7990 (I have heard it is a problem with other AMD cards) is that it will not allow full 144hz refresh when playing games. Any higher than 120hz it will crash when entering a game. There are ways to fix this by modifying some drivers but I didn't look into it any further than that because it was for an earlier catalyst version. You can however turn on 144hz on the desktop and it will work fine. Once you launch a game in full screen it will crash. One last thing to note, moving from my I-Inc 28" monitor, I felt I had to keep the monitor very dim on the Asus for the colors to show up well. If I turned up the brightness, everything would wash out pretty badly. Because of this I used the mode preset button quite frequently for when I move between games and watching videos or browsing the internet. (Standard for browsing/movies, and Scenery for gaming). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1373263-asus-vg278he-27-full-hd-1920x1080-144hz-2ms-hdmi-dvi](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1373263-asus-vg278he-27-full-hd-1920x1080-144hz-2ms-hdmi-dvi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
