Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert
  • G-Sync synchronizes your video card's frame rate with this monitor and prevents tearing and stuttering.
  • With a 165Hz refresh rate, you can play games more smoothly than with 75Hz.
  • Thanks to the integrated speakers, you won't need any separate speakers.
  • 'Backlight bleeding' can occur in dark spaces with this monitor, in which case light leaks around the edges of the screen instead of being evenly distributed over the screen.
  • NVIDIA G-Sync doesn't work with AMD video cards.

Pricey, but worth every euro!

  • IPS display
  • nice design
  • G-sync
  • Price

I was ready for a new laptop but decided to build a PC myself and therefore needed a monitor. The PG279Q is not exactly the cheapest monitor, but the functions it offers cannot be found in cheaper monitors. Examples are G-sync, flicker free screen, ips and 144 to max. 165hz.

Resolution
Let me start by saying that the higher resolution is a godsend. More workspace than at 1080p and also more detailed image. In short, definitely an improvement compared to 1080p.

Quality monitor
With a new monitor there is always a chance of dead/stuck pixels, these pixels stand out if all pixels are set to the same color, the dead/stuck pixels then do not color, which indicates a defect. If you google for “dead pixel test” you will find several tests that show a full red/green/blue screen with which you can detect dead pixels. With a monitor of this price range, you expect a well-functioning screen without dead pixels. This is also the reason I ordered from Coolblue. Other online stores often offer a pixel guarantee for a fee. According to the law (certain guidelines), a monitor may have a number of dead pixels and in such a case the customer is not entitled to a replacement. At Coolblue, the monitor can be returned without giving a reason (for free), this is a service that I appreciate as a consumer.

Calibration
The monitor is seen by various review sites as well calibrated straight out of the box, which is to be expected from a monitor in this price range. Personally, I have adjusted the screen settings a bit, this makes the monitor less stressful for the eyes and the colors come out even better. You can of course buy special measuring equipment for calibration, but not everyone's wallet is equally sufficient. The website TFT Central has extensively tested the monitor and has determined a number of values in a review that approximate the color spectrum as closely as possible. So it's definitely worth checking out their review, also because it covers many more aspects from power consumption to the use of functions such as overclocking the monitor, which can be done in the monitor's menu.

Another function that I also really appreciate is the blue light filter, which has different modes and ensures that the blue light is filtered and thus provides a calmer image. Another program I still use is “f. luxury”. This is a free program that ensures that the monitor adapts to the time of day. At night you want colors to be warmer than during the day, because of the amount of ambient light. This program, which is free by the way, ensures that the colors adjust for every hour of the day, so that you always have the best image.

Build quality
The build quality is excellent in my opinion. The bezel is matte black and not that shiny plastic that you often see on cheap monitors. The Republic of Gamers logo that lights up red is not disturbing either.

Prepared for the future
I use this monitor in combination with a GTX 1070 and get an average of 60-80 fps in most games. Games are becoming more demanding and in a few years the average number of fps will be lower, but due to the G Sync function the image will still be smooth. Below is a link about how G-sync works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT8f_1oRsLU

One more thing to pay attention to when using the monitor. With me, the refresh rate was set to 60Hz by default, while of course you want to use the 144Hz refresh rate. To set this up (Windows 10), follow the next steps: click on the Windows button at the bottom right > then type "devices and printers" and select it > then right mouse button on your monitor > monitor settings > advanced settings > second heading " monitor” > now you can set the desired refresh rate.

Conclusion
Are you looking for a monitor with a large work surface, IPS, 144Hz and G-sync then you don't have to look any further, provided your wallet is sufficient ;). If you don't plan on gaming, this monitor is still suitable for you, but you pay for a function such as G-sync that you will not use in practice. If you still want an IPS and 27 inch, then take a look at the Dell U2715. http://www.monitorstore.nl/product/551794/dell-ultrasharp-u2715h.html

High-end PC = high-end monitor

  • IPS!
  • 165hz *drool*
  • Gsync
  • Expensive enough of course

I come from a setup with 2 cheap (or IPS) 1080p 23" monitors.

When I put this on the desk I thought... Wow.
Still connected to my old PC, it was already beautiful then. 1440p is really a big improvement, 4K is too much of a good thing at the moment

The next morning I flew to the computer store with the car, bought computer parts, installed some games later that day after the installation.. man man..
At first I was unsure, and I thought of sending it back, but if they didn't cost 800 now I would have bought 1 more because now I'm sitting with this 1080p screen next to it to have some junk standing up (eg teamspeak/steam) next to a game with max settings on that 165hz!

So if you have a high-end computer, play games and are looking for a new screen? To buy!

Excellent!

  • 144hz(+)
  • G-Sync
  • IPS
  • Coil whine (very much)

Super monitor, no dead pixels, minimal to almost no IPS glow and backlight bleed! Very very happy with it. Only major drawback, a lot of coil whine, deafening when you sit in front of it.
Don't know if this will go away on its own, but when I put on my headset it's no longer audible, so I'm fine with that. Definitely recommend it to any gamer with an nVidia card. (Recommended to have at least a GTX 980 for an optimal gaming experience.
