Features and connectors
Features
ASUS prepared a few different presets, which all are completely customizable. First of all there is the scenery mode, which plays with the contrast and make pictures look sharper. Second there is the theatre mode, which makes colors a tick more vibrant. Third you get a game mode, which increases the brightness to eliminate shadows. Last but not least, there is a night mode, which decreases brightness and makes it less stressful to look at the display in a dark environment.
Connectors
Taking a closer look at the backside of the MX279H you can find the different connectors. Next to two HDMI Ports, there is a VGA connector as well as two audio in, where one is for a microphone and the other for headphones. At the beginning we thought that it’s a downside, that there is no DVI port, but checking out the delivery showed that there is an HDMI to DVI-D adaptor. Something else that is definitely worth mentioning, when talking about this display, is the integrated speakers. ASUS is allowed to brand their speakers with Band & Olufsen. The puts the bar up high, when it comes to expectations. Although bass is as near as makes no difference, inexistent, the overall sound quality is way better, than what you usually get from loudspeakers which are integrated into a display.
