World’s First 144Hz PC Monitor

It supports 3D images and video with Nvidia’s 3D Vision 2 technology.
The user will need Nvidia’s 3D glasses to enjoy the technology, as the monitor is a non-stereoscopic 3D display.

ASUS’ VG278HE gaming monitor has 144 Hz panel refresh rate, it also features a 2 milliseconds response time.
VG278HE comes with rich connectivity and is fitted on the back with a HDMI 1.4 connector, Dual-link DVI-D port, and the classic D-Sub 15.

The Dual-link DVI-D is needed for the very fast 144Hz refresh rate and the HDMI 1.4 connector simply wouldn’t be enough.

Users could simultaneously connect VG278HE to Full HD Blu-ray Disc players and various HD playback devices, as it also features two 6-watt speakers.

ASUS also touts Advanced Dual-Side LCD Driving Technology and claims that this will reduce LCD charging time to further prevent mura, ghosting, and bright-line effects, but we have a hard time finding some documentation on what Dual-Side LCD Driving technically is.

The brightness level is rated at 300 cd/sqm and dynamic ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio can reach a staggering 50 million to 1.

The 170/160 H/V viewing angles are consistent with a TN panel and we also need to mention that the rated 2ms response time is grey to grey not black to black.
