Would not recommend to my worst enemy.
This has to be one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever owned. You guys haven't updated the driver in 5 years and I don't think you plan on it. The operating system sucks. You need to tell people that it's no good for PlayStation 5. The ghosting and tearing is horrible.

Great price but not a great gaming monitor
Recently purchased this monitor to add to my setup. The price was great and mounting it felt decently balanced on my desk mount. This being a VA monitor I had already assumed some quality issues with gaming or streaming. The color quality is decent. However, when gaming the screen ghosting is terrible especially in low lighting situations such as night raids on Tarkov o...

Good monitor at a good price.
A good 2k monitor with a decent refresh rate. Looks good especially without the added rgb lighting that I would always turn off anyhow. Also has some built in feature I like, such as the built in crossbar and fps counter. A decent buy.

So far so good
Screen is massive and the color is vibrant. Definitely has upgraded my gameplay when it comes to FPS. Sounds isnt the greatest but not a big deal to me. Best if you have external speakers instead. Second Asus product I have gotten since using my second build and they been great so far

It's fine but not great
The ghosting is terrible. No matter what settings I change the ghosting is horrible. Was supposed to be the lowest ghosting VA panel on the market but if it is I'd hate to see the others.

Nice monitor! Get your cable ahead of time
Nice monitor. Good price. Great specs. Had a real issue figuring out which cable to purchase for the usb-c to Display Port. The info talks about the Thunderbolt & USB 4. Then online it's all about frequencies and speed. Marketing noise. The monitor docs should have links to the specific cable.

Subpar for 2025
It's ok. Not a true hdr display. Can't use any other features if hdr is in use. So just leave hdr off. But I would recommend spending a little more and getting an oled

I didn't know It was better than I thought
To be completely honest, I bought this thinking it was something else, So I love it! Probably one of the best looking screens I've ever had if not the best! When I got it I thought it only did 1080, 60 HZ, I had no idea It was much better than I thought. Thank you guys I appreciate it!

Great reasonably priced monitor
This monitor is great! I replaced a Samsung 27 inch monitor that I liked and this one is better. It has excellent build quality, solid and heavy, plenty of input options, a bonus USB hub and even speakers (basic only). 34 inches seems huge with lots of real-estate for multiple open apps or gaming. Bright screen with robust colors. The curved screen is more immersive wi...

Crisp, clear, immersive gaming monitor that is well worth it! Everything about this monitor has so far exceeded my expectations. I actually lose myself in the screen while playing. It’s the perfect size for where I have it where my field of vision fades into just my screen and I get sucked in my game. It also helps a LOT with non gaming tasks just because the screen is...

Well I was not disappointed and for the price point and warranty from the manufacturer it’s hard to pass up even at full price but hey if you can save money why not?
