Great monitor for gaming 1440p.

The menu selection for setting up the monitor is a bit clunky compared to my old ASUS model, but still very functional. The color palette is incredible, especially the range of dark tones that I've never understood on other monitors. This makes the contrast of every game (Valorant, CS:GO, etc.) I play very popular.

Great desktop Linux monitor

I use this for my Arch Linux desktop system. The QHD resolution is perfect for my setup. It sits about 18 inches from my keyboard and is like television. I can be across the room and see everything clearly. Recommended for all Linux desktop users.

Very happy with it

I have an Odyssey G5 and it seemed very washed out. Limited ports! So I sent it back and got this one and am much happier with it.

Great monitor, good price

I don't play games much, I bought this monitor for video editing. Love it. I have 4 ASUS laptops and they are known for their great color depth and brightness. This device did not disappoint. The quality was even better than I expected, great adjustable stand.
