Pros
Pro Thin bezels
The top and side bezels are about 13mm thin with the bottom bezel being slightly thicker at 18mm.
Pro Reasonably good luminance uniformity
The screen also has good luminance uniformity, providing a evenly lit picture. At the dimmest point, the deviation is 12% from the brightest point (141.4 cd/m² to 160.4 cd/m²).
Pro Low input lag
Complete input lag time (signal delay and pixel response time) is 7.4ms or under ½ of a frame.
Pro Easily adjustable
The monitor tilts (5° forward, 20° backward), swivels (60° to both the left and right), pivots (90° clockwise, allowing it to be used in portrait mode) and allows adjusting height between 43mm (1.69") to 410mm (16.14").
Pro Good contrast and brightness
According to tests performed by PC Monitors, PB279Q set to factory defaults (90% brightness, "Splendid" preset) produces luminance in the range of 0.24 - 282 cd/m² with a contrast of 1175. It provides both lots of brightness and reasonably dark blacks.
Pro Good color accuracy
The monitor covers all of sRGB space and represents the colors accurately.
Pro Reasonably small input lag
Complete input lag time (signal delay and pixel response time) is 11.85ms or ¾ of a frame.
Pro Comes excellently calibrated
Pro Good color temperature uniformity
According to Spyder4Elite tests performed by PC Monitor, P2415Q has good color temperature uniformity. A DeltaE deviation of over 3 can be easily noticed by most people and the highest deviation recorded is 2.5. It's worth noting that the monitor has an uniformity compensation setting that in the same test proved to make things worse with a maximum deviation of 2.9.
Pro Impressive contrast
According to tests performed by PC Monitors, P2415Q set to factory defaults (75% brightness, Standard preset) produces luminance in the range of 0.21 - 237 cd/m² with a contrast ratio of 1129. It provides good brightness and dark blacks. It is also capable of going up to 0.30 - 331 cd/m² with a contrast ratio of 1182 at 100% brightness.
Cons
Con A maximum refresh rate of 60Hz can be a concern for some
A 60Hz monitor, while sufficient for most people in most cases, can still cause issues with fast-moving objects on screen. It's especially important with things like gaming where the ability to react to events happening on the screen quickly is important.
Con Minor color temperature uniformity issues
According to Spyder4Elite tests performed by PC Monitor, PB279Q has color temperature issues that can be seen with the naked eye. A DeltaE deviation of over 3 can be easily noticed and the left side of the monitor deviates between 2.4 and 3.1.
Con AHVA glow
AHVA glow is the light on the sides or corners of the screen that can reduce some of the peripheral detail.
Con HDMI connections are limited to 30Hz
DisplayPort 1.2 (or MiniDP 1.2) is needed to run at 60Hz.
Con A maximum refresh rate of 60Hz can be a concern for some
A 60Hz monitor, while sufficient for most people in most cases, can still cause issues with fast-moving objects on screen. It's especially important with things like gaming where the ability to react to events happening on the screen quickly is important.
Con IPS glow
IPS glow is the light on the sides or corners of the screen that can reduce some of the peripheral detail.
Con Somewhat too grainy texture surface
