When it debuted a few years ago, the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit required four components to work properly: 3D glasses, an Nvidia graphics card, a compatible display, and a separate, USB-connected 3D emitter. In the time since that debut, not much has changed.

The Asus VG278H delivers great 3D performance; a superfast refresh rate; and useful ergonomic options

The monitor is expensive, given what it offers; Also, accessing the connections can be maddening, there is significant backlight bleeding, and the OSD navigation is clunky and obtrusive

2D image quality Marketed as a 3D monitor first and foremost, most folk will still spend the majority of time looking at it in regular 2D. After toggling a few settings - 90 brightness, 62 contrast - the 2D image is sharp and clear.

Asus's VG278HE could lay claim to being the ultimate gaming monitor. It's a 27in 1080p LCD with Nvidia 3D Vision support and a huge 144Hz refresh rate for super-smooth visuals.

I bought this monitor on sale on Black Friday. The colors out of the box are not great. Tweaking the settings in Game Mode I found was the best. 1080p is fine for gaming but I did notice a monitor of this size reading text on web browsers you can see the individual pixels.

ASUS aren't exactly new to the monitor world. In fact two of our favourite monitors of all time are ASUS models, including the very recently reviewed 4K screen that was extremely good value.

Think for a moment about how you watch movies. When the latest blockbuster movie comes out, people usually flock to the theaters so they can enjoy it on the 'big screen'. Conversely, some people prefer to watch movies at home on a widescreen HDTV.
