PB279Q

When 4K Means Seeing and Doing Much More

4K UHD visuals means the ASUS PB279Q lets you enjoy 300% more desktop space than a similarly-sized Full HD screen on which to spread out your various windows. Capable of displaying 1.07 billion colors, the PB279Q delivers outstanding color reproduction and saturation; along with a brightness of 300cd/m² and a 100,000,000:1 ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio (ASCR).

Everything You Need, Built Right In.

Running 4K UHD at 60Hz When Others Simply Can’t

The ASUS PB279Q features extensive connectivity options that include DisplayPort 1.2 and Mini DisplayPort for 4K UHD content support at refresh rates of up to 60Hz*. There’s also four HDMI 1.4 / MHL** ports which you can use to view content from your mobile device on the PB279Q while simultaneously charging the mobile device.

*PB279Q can support 4K UHD content at 60Hz refresh rate via DisplayPort 1.2 and Mini DisplayPort.
**For a full MHL-enabled product list, please see www.mhlconsortium.org.

View Four Input Sources on One Display Simultaneously

Built-in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and Picture-by-Picture (PbP) functionality let you view content from up to four different 4K/UHD sources simultaneously, with the ability to switch between them, including audio, easily. PiP mode places the second input source window in one corner of the display, while PbP mode allows you to set up the input source windows in four different ways, and can support four 4K/UHD windows at the same time.

Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode places the second input source window in one corner of the display – either at the top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right.

Picture-by-Picture (PbP) mode allows you to split the screen to view four input separate sources side-by-side; you can easily switch between the main and secondary PbP sources, including audio too.

Innovations That Raise the Bar

ASUS-exclusive Technologies for Stunning Image Quality

We’ve raised the bar by incorporating some of our proprietary technologies into the ASUS PB279Q to give you a truly vivid visual experience. The PB279Q features the new SplendidPlus™ Video Intelligence Technology that optimizes videos and images by enhancing color brightness, contrast, and sharpness. SplendidPlus™ features two new modes – Reading and Darkroom – in addition to the Scenery, Standard, Theater, sRGB, and Night View modes. Low-blue Light and Flicker-free technologies also reduce the strain on your eyes after long periods of use.

Reading	Darkroom	Scenery	Theater
Creating comfortable experience as if reading actual books by adjusting the monitor’s color temperature and brightness levels, simulating paperback books.	Best choice for soft ambient light environment for visual pleasure.	Increases the brightness range, introducing more contrast gradations and selectively tweaking color saturation for more lush landscapes.	Enhances the contrast and color saturation of the image — delivering livelier and more vivid visuals for greater immersion.

sRGB	Game	Night View	Standard
Provides the best performance for viewing graphics.	Brings out dark, hard-to-see areas while leaving well-lit portions untouched — allowing you to see opponents lurking in obscure corners.	Intelligently raises Y-luminance to highlight poorly-lit details, capturing each scene’s beauty in a crisp and vibrant fashion.	Delivers clear document viewing and web browsing experiences with optimized color and contrast.

ASUS SplendidPlus™ Video Intelligence Technology is built upon a color engine that provides 8 preset modes that allow you to adjust your display accordingly to ensure color accuracy and image fidelity to give you colors that best suit what’s showing on the screen. You can access different modes via a designated hotkey.
