Just bought two of these ASUS VN279Q monitors for a desktop dual-monitor setup. I also have the ASUS MX279H; totally love its display, dig its silver bezel, but, alas, no VESA mount! So, in a search for VESA-mountables, found this guy.
For the price, you can't beat this monitor. Bright, sharp, light, pretty much everything you are looking for in a standard monitor. I'm not a game, but photos, movies, and daily MS Office stuff all look fantastic.
Also, it turns out that I like the controls even better than the MX279H. The VN279Q buttons are actual physical buttons -- the MX has these goofy touch sensitive things that I accidentally bump all the time.
Paired these with a VIVO Dual Monitor Curved Horizontal Array Desk Mount (STAND-V002E) for $35 and am good to go.
One note, if you are installing these with a VESA mount, don't make the mistake I made. The screw holes (M4 screws, BTW) are plugged with these little rubber inserts. There is NOTHING in the documentation that tells you which screws to use, or that these little buttons are in there. I must have wasted an hour trying to get the screws tapped without damaging the monitor. Getting frustrated, I used a pencil to poke at it to figure what was up, and pop! Out comes the little rubber button, exposing perfectly simply M4 screw mounts. Sigh...documentation much Asus?
