Settings cannot be saved.

You cannot save monitor settings in the OSD. If you want to go into the OSD and change individual settings every time you do a different task, then this monitor is for you. /FROM

Don't buy from Asus, look for another manufacturer.

I've had the monitor for 6 months, it worked and looked fantastic. Suddenly, the buttons that control the On-Screen Display (OSD) started acting up. The key lock function activates by itself and as I show in the video the OSD activates if I don't even touch the keys! I contacted ASUS and crossed my fingers if their *infamous* repair center would fix my device or send me a device with dead pixels or some other issue. Please just don't worry and stay away from ASUS.

Easy setup and amazing image quality.

So far... Pros: I've only played two games so far, but from first impressions it's out of the box, I'll do some color tweaking, but R6 Siege works great, as does Destiny 2. Can't. Wait until you've tried Apex Legends and Valorant. Ideal for Nvidia G-Sync. Cons (sort of) - The only issue I had with setting it up was a rattling noise (loose item inside) when I mounted it on the monitor stand, but it powered up fine and there were no screen or picture issues. , no dead pixels, no highlights and…

Color fringes in my review.

A monitor in this price range shouldn't suffer from such a basic problem - color banding, black distortion. Although I spent hours trying to figure out why the picture quality was so bad and called the manufacturer, it just sucks. The manufacturer told me to "send it in for repairs" but it's not broken, it's just bad out of the box. I am disappointed and will send it back.

Poor QC from Asus, some dead pixels

I am very disappointed that the $900 premium monitor has dead pixels. Asus really needs to improve its quality control. In addition to dead pixels, the monitor displays films and games perfectly. The high refresh rate is breathtaking in competitive shooters such as CSGO and Valorant. I'm ordering a new replacement for the same monitor, hopefully this new one doesn't have dead pixels.

Buttery: my rating

I never thought that a dedicated G-Sync module would have such a big impact on smoothness. I can't even go back to my G-Sync compatible 270Hz monitor. 30Hz is negligible.

Dead and stuck pixels. Quality control is terrible at 1440p 240Hz

In ten years, quality control on monitors will be excellent. This is not the decade. I'm ordering another one, although it's actually better than the 165Hz I have and has an average response time of 15ms. Edit 1: I just sent a second monitor. This time there was a pixel that refused to display blue. Everything was fine on red, green, black and white. Blue scenes display only one black pixel. Quality control when? I have ordered a third one. SighEdit 2: I bought 3 and all 3 had at least one…

No calibration is required for enjoyment

I chose this monitor after months of dithering which monitor to choose for my new 3080 card computer. My previous monitor was an old ASUS 60Hz 1440P eye care monitor and I was gaming for several hours a day in a well lit room. I decided it was time to experience over 60 fps in games. I didn't feel the need to adjust brightness, contrast or anything else using this monitor right out of the box. I plugged it in and it looked great to my eyes. I've been using it for almost a week now and haven't…

Great monitor, possibly overpriced.

Pros: - Amazing color accuracy out of the box/srgb mode emulation - 240Hz refresh rate at 1440p (noticeable step above 144Hz) - Gsync engine with variable acceleration, no ghosting/tailing in variable frame rate games - Extremely low input lag - HDR is an improvement over SDR (sort of). This monitor has a wide color gamut and bright scenes look amazing. In HDR mode, this monitor has no idea what "black" is. Everything that should have been dark turns grey. SDR is slightly better, but not by…

The best 1440p monitor, period.

This is the best 1440p 240Hz monitor you can buy. Heck, this is the best 1440p monitor, period. It is ABSOLUTELY worth the extra $200 to get the native G-Sync engine and all the benefits that come with it, not to mention the wide color gamut support and other perks of this monitor (the colors on this monitor are really crazy) . If you've never owned a true wide color monitor, you don't know what you're missing out on. Not only does it turn on NVCP Digital Vibrance for more saturation, it's…

ASUS needs to work on quality control!

From zero on/off screen to a stuck and dead pixel. I no longer have any doubts as to why ASUS has such a bad reputation when it comes to their products. They really need to work on quality control!
