Question Ranking
Pros
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.
Pro The built-in speakers are sufficient for everyday use
Dual speakers located at the back of the monitor offer a decent-quality stereo sound output. There's also an audio jack for headphone/external speakers use.
Pro Contrast ratio creates great color reproduction
This monitor's contrast ratio makes it capable of a very vibrant and natural color reproduction. It comes with presets optimized for several use cases, such as gaming, movies, or text editing.
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 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
Con Lacks DVI connectivity
This monitor is missing a DVI-D port, which can be circumvented by using a HMDI to DVI converter. Precisely because of this, ASUS ships the monitor with such an adapter.
Con Inadequate resolution
With a screen size of 27", a good resolution would be expected. Sadly, this is not the case. When this monitor was launched, 4K still wasn't popular. It's not a great device for playing 1080p videos, but if you're not going to give it this kind of use, this resolution shouldn't be a big issue.
