Review on ASUS Strix XG27UQR Gaming Monitor - 3840x2160p, 144Hz, Anti-Glare, Blue Light Filter, Flicker-Free, Tilt Adjustment by Ryan Thorson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The most annoying monitor I've ever bought - goes out

Why is the power button located 4 inches at the top right rear of the monitor? This is very impractical, especially when there is another monitor to the left of it. I have to bend my wrist behind the monitor to touch the power button. This is the worst power button placement on a monitor I've seen in my 20 years of IT experience. Why is it important? Since this monitor does not go into a deep sleep state and does not respond well from sleep mode, you need to turn it off and on with the button to turn it back on. This is very frustrating and for this reason I would not recommend this monitor to anyone. The supposedly similar ROG monitors had a menu option to disable this annoying sleep state, but to frustrate you even more, it's been removed from this monitor's menu. This monitor is a throwback, poorly designed and it shows.

Pros
  • Asus
Cons
  • No paint required
