The backlight skipping is real and you will notice it.

I really wanted to like this monitor. 144Hz, gsync, 4k is exactly what I wanted. I have a similar 1080p ASUS monitor that I've been using for a few years with no problems (same features except resolution). I couldn't help but notice the bright oval in the center of the screen on dark or dimly lit content. I thought this was the game I'm playing, so I reproduced the same results in MS Paint. Just paint the screen black and see there's an oval. Sorry but that's not acceptable for a $700 monitor…

Great monitor as long as you sit right in front of it

If you move your head slightly away from the center, the backlight seeps into the dark areas of the screen. Set of factors.

Worth the money in my opinion

It's just worth it. Looks clean and does what you want. The stand could be better, but works perfectly. My only downside is that I don't think RGB is needed, but no stars for that. The arrangement of the keys should also be interesting for early Asus buyers.

I'll smash it with a bat and then set it on fire

It's connected to my work and home computers at the same time; However, if I forget to manually change the display settings to ensure they aren't used by both at the same time, I get this input not automatically changing issue, and then I can never get them to do it. Of course, the geniuses who designed this made it difficult to change the input manually. So all I see is a black screen and there is no way to view it, either on my work or home setup. Last time it took a few days to get it…

So far, so good! in my view

Took for work and games while everything is fine! As with most mid-range and high-end monitors, little tweaking and calibration is required. Definitely recommend, great price for 4k 144hz

Great monitor for 4k gaming and everyday use

Disclaimer: I am an amateur player. Do not play competitive games or PvP. Picture quality is amazing and feels very smooth compared to the 60Hz display I had previously. The level of detail is razor sharp and the image is very pleasing to look at. My room is quite dark (hehe) so brightness is not a problem. I love the monitor and would definitely recommend it.

Good color quality, very annoying problem

The color quality is really great, so no complaints, but the monitor randomly turns off or restarts when you're watching something or playing a game. The screen goes black for about 2-5 seconds and the image returns. The base of the monitor is also absolutely massive, I had to make room for the monitor to fit on my desk. HDR doesn't seem that good, it seems very inconsistent in how it tries to change exposure. I would only recommend this monitor if you want to watch 4k videos and not games.

Great for the price

HDR is fine, picture quality is amazing (comparable to my iPad Pro in colors), very bright and 144Hz 4k with 1 displayport? No, it's understandable. Get this.

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…

Moderate incidence of light, overall very good

Great panel for gaming and viewing general content. The colors are very accurate and the contrast is very good. I've found that viewing angles (especially up close) are less than stellar and there is a degree of light leakage that can be affected by body flexing. Annoying, but I only noticed it on a very dark or black screen.

Good monitor in my review.

I was lucky not to have the fan issue everyone is talking about. A nice monitor and the projection of the logo under the monitor is SPIRIT. The picture quality is amazing. Expensive monitor, but worth it!

Great price and way better than the premium sibling pg27uq.

This monitor is best for 4K gaming. Based on a buggy Pg27uq, I've concluded that the display stream compression you get with this monitor is much better than the chroma subsampling found on the $1,500 Pg27uq. DSC offers 4K 144Hz HDR, while Chroma only offers 98Hz HDR. This monitor was made in 2020 which means the best panel. Please note that you need an Ampere card (series 20) to use DSC. I love this monitor and its color accuracy, it was definitely the best choice.

Not very reliable - my new review

This monitor is very bright. The color space is of high quality and when it works properly it is a responsive monitor that is great for gaming. However, the monitor I received is not reliable. Sometimes the picture flickers. Activation features do not respond when the computer is turned on. In other words, I turn on my computer and have to press the power button on the monitor several times for it to display an image. I also chose the ROG series because it had to be of a higher quality than the

The best monitor I've ever used.

Edit: After 3 months I've got a few stuck pixels, and getting more every week. I cannot recommend such an expensive monitor that is about to fail. Absolutely stunning! After going through 3 different Acer 4k 144hz monitors I finally gave up due to the terrible quality control on each panel. This monitor is the best gaming purchase I have ever made. The colors are amazing. The brightness is amazing. ZERO backlight and dead pixels. I am delighted with the quality of this monitor and have already…

The most beautiful ROG monitor

Amazing resolution, refresh rate is the key to the future. The best looking ROG monitor overall, not overly impressed by the TN and VA panels. I liked the higher refresh rate of the TN-XG248 panel, but I don't think the new 360Hz IPS panels were the right upgrade at the time.

Screen flickering and poor stand design

Pros - Nice monitor and picture quality Cons - Poorly designed stand, long legs and if you want to put it on the back of a table it sticks out on your leg - Screen flickers, I've been playing with G-sync, refresh rate etc, it could but still not getting it to work properly

Worth every penny. good for me

This thing looks like it stepped out of a futuristic spaceship. The box, packaging materials and everything inside is of high quality. The back looks really cool too. Designed from every angle. Amazing picture quality. Some smart people can dabble in math and numbers. The base is great, so heavy and strong.
