The PB279Q also delivers an impressive 5ms (gray-to-gray) fast response time and a 60Hz* refresh rate for the fluid and responsive visuals needed to experience today’s games at their fullest.

Everything You Need, Built Right In.

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.

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.
