The attractive stand might not offer height adjustable options, but you can tilt it back and forward to suit a variety of situations. On the rear of the panel there are three HDMI ports (one is MHL2.0 capable), a DisplayPort 1.2 connector, Earphone jack and power connector. The stand looks great when in place and when assembled, the Designo MX27AQ weighs 5.5kg. We always like to see a tool less design as no one wants to go hunting for a screwdriver before using their shiny new monitor. The (aluminum alloy) sundial style base is easily attached to the stand, by a single thumbscrew. Inside is the stand, literature on the product, a small power brick, and an HDMI and DisplayPort cable. Some specifications, along with a high resolution image of the monitor are visible. The ASUS Designo MX27AQ ships in a full colour box. 1x DP 1.2, 1x HDMI 1.4/MHL 2.0 combination port, 2x HDMI 1.4.ASUS SonicMaster and AudioWizard EQ technologies built into the monitor.27-inch In-Plane Switching specification LCD panel.Asus rate the ‘Smart Contrast Ratio' at a whopping 100,000,000:1 and the response time, 5ms (Gray to Gray). We particularly like the ultra slim profile that measures just 1.25cm at the thinnest point with an edge to edge frame-less panel bezel thickness of only 0.1cm. The ASUS Designo MX27AQ is certainly a great looking monitor.

ASUS have incorporated their AudioWizard into the monitor itself, with four pre set modes available via an on screen menu. ASUS focus on the audio side too, with stereo speakers powered by a combination of ICEpower, a Bang & Olufsen technology, a MobileSound 3 chip and ASUS SonicMaster tuning. This AH-IPS panel delivers a reported 100% sRGB colour space and a 178 degree viewing angle. Today we look at the new ASUS MX27AQ – a 27 inch WQHD (2560×1440) LCD monitor.
