This is correct. I'm using the HDMI cable that Asus supplies (HDMI 1.4), and it outputs 2560x1440. I'm doing so since my graphics card only has 1 DVI-D, which I'm currently using for the U2713HM.

I used the ICC profile and adjusted the monitor setting according to TFT. Looks amazing.

This is probably a stupid question, but as this is the first new monitor I've bought in close to 10 years, I'm kinda out of date.

I know the PB278Q comes with speakers, but I'd prefer audio from a bluray player hooked up via HDMI to come out of my external set of 2.1 speakers. I see on Asus' page for the monitor that it has a 3.5mm earphone jack. Is that ONLY for headphones, or can I hook up my external speaker to that jack as well? Anyone on here have a bluray player or games console hooked up via HDMI/Display Port and using the headphone jack for external speakers?

Other than that nagging question, this monitor looks pretty much ideal for my needs and price range, especially with all the QC issues on the Dell U2713HM I'm hearing about.

If you want you can hook up your external speaker set, granted that your speaker set only requires (1) 3.5mm jack.

I just received mine yesterday and hooked it up last night. I find the colors are great but the text is almost unreadable.
Not that the text is small, but it is just that the colors of it to the background make it almost blurry. I haven't tried any adjustments yet and will do that tonight and the days to come.
I will first try the ICC profile from TFT then use my Spyder 4 and see what that can do.
