Picture-by-Picture (PbP) mode allows you to split the screen to view four input separate sources side-by-side; you can easily switch between the main and secondary PbP sources, including audio too.


Innovations That Raise the Bar

ASUS-exclusive Technologies for Stunning Image Quality

We’ve raised the bar by incorporating some of our proprietary technologies into the ASUS PB279Q to give you a truly vivid visual experience. The PB279Q features the new SplendidPlus™ Video Intelligence Technology that optimizes videos and images by enhancing color brightness, contrast, and sharpness. SplendidPlus™ features two new modes – Reading and Darkroom – in addition to the Scenery, Standard, Theater, sRGB, and Night View modes. Low-blue Light and Flicker-free technologies also reduce the strain on your eyes after long periods of use.
