ASUS vs278q colors washed out

[maskedmonkyman]

I recently purchased an ASUS vs278q to replace the HD TV that I was using in place of a monitor. The response times are really great but the colors are just supper washed out when compared to the TV. I have tried just about everything various calibration settings, color temp, ICC profiles, and even switching connectors but nothing seams to be working. I am coming close to just returning it and looking for a different one but I wanted to ask around fist to see if any one has experienced this sort of issue.

Hello!

It's a limitation of the TN-LCD technology. You can calibrate the display, but you can't make it look like your TV if it's using a different type of LCD, often MVA or IPS. Another thing are those 1 ms response time "gaming monitor" myths I'll quickly debunk:

a) It's not actually 1 ms, and it can be slower than a quality panel such as an IPS-LCD
b) It's still going to ghost, because it's an LCD, they use a strip of LED's on the top or bottom that are always on
c) It's not referring to input lag, they are two completely different specs

If you want a monitor with better, more accurate colors, contrast, saturation, and viewing angles. You're gonna have to look at buying an IPS-LCD or the less common, MVA. If you are looking to return your monitor for a new one, please fill out this form:
