Type of review

I bought two of these, they were delivered on 09/13/2020. 02.10.2020, one of them died after showing acceleration errors when opening Outlook last night. I'm not a free rider, I have a F+. Network+, Security+ and MCP, I'm a sysadmin for government contracts and software testing engineer. So I know how to connect them properly. Luckily I still have 12 days to return it. I bought this because I've built computers using ASUS motherboards in the past and have always had good luck with this brand. I

This product does not live up to its claims at all. I bought it because the product page said it pivoted. He can't turn around. It also says that it supports VESA mount. It is not. Completely false advertising. When I contacted the company they replied that I could buy another stand from them.

Vertical rotation is not possible!

Great monitor for the price but beware, contrary to the picture it does NOT swivel to a vertical position. That's my feedback.

Simple and reliable: my rating

I ordered this because I need to work from home and not strain my eyes on the screen of my small work laptop. It's great - no need to use my "cheats" and the ability to extend the screen makes online meetings and work very easy. Good price!

Difficult to set up but works well for my eyes.

This screen actually works better for my eyes than most screens I've had to work with. The default colors seemed odd, but that can be tweaked. The menus are pretty awkward to navigate due to the button layout, and there are some hiccups with some options.

Bought a second Asus monitor

I like the picture quality of this monitor. This is the second one I've bought and it's good value for money. Definitely a bad product!

False advertising - no portrait orientation

I bought this monitor thinking it would be the perfect side monitor for portrait orientation. However, as other reviewers point out, the supposed ability to rotate 90 degrees to portrait mode is non-existent. It also doesn't adjust for height etc. I know Asus has a large portfolio of products so it's difficult to check every time it's on sale, but now I'm skeptical about buying from them because I don't want to go through the hassle of buying an item to receive it and unbox it just to find out…

Great cheap screens, good picture quality and frequencies above 60Hz so this is a win even if it's small. That's my review.

Great color and clarity!

I bought a matching pair of these and they are great! The color is perfect and they are much sharper than the ones I had on my desk before. I love these two monitors! I don't play games so can't really comment on how they work for this, but they never lag when playing videos on it.

Good for the money, no DisplayPort.

Decent looking display for the money, so far I've been very happy with it. However, it was advertised with an HDMI connector and a DisplayPort connector. The one I have has HDMI and VGA but no DisplayPort. HDMI is sufficient for my needs, but keep that in mind if you're looking for DisplayPort.

PORTRAIT MODE CANNOT BE USED

According to the product description, this monitor is height adjustable and can be rotated 90 degrees in any direction for portrait use. Neither is correct. If you look at the description of the same product directly on the ASUS website, you will see that it does NOT have these features. I bought this monitor specifically for guidance and now I've wasted my time and money waiting and then getting a product that doesn't live up to the expectations set by the fake product description. FALSE…

Doesn't rotate as advertised

The description and specs specifically state that this monitor can be rotated 90 degrees so you can view it vertically, but it does NOT. The monitor doesn't rotate and that's it, and I don't have room for another horizontal monitor. What a waste of my time and money.

I bought it as a second display. I've had no trouble enabling 75Hz in the NVIDIA Control Panel, although I don't really need it as most of the time I just keep Discord and social media open.

I'm surprised he survived.

Revain.com, LLC shipped the monitor in its original 22 x 17 x 5 cm packaging in a 28 x 22 x 8.5 cm box with no spacers inside the box. UPS had it for three days and it was alive. After all, ASUS knows how to pack them. The monitor has a nice clean picture. The colored stripes are perfect.
