Great monitor for the price. I have a problem with dark images.

Games or movies with dark settings can be difficult to see. I use Nvidia for video and had to make some adjustments first. But now everything looks great.

Displays spots of rainbow colors while playing

This is my first experience with a gaming monitor. I turned it on and in my first Call of Duty match the screen had really bright rainbow spots all over the screen and map when I was in a match. It didn't happen 100% of the time, but I played with it most of the time. During a black loading screen, many white shadows appear all over the screen. The colors of the rainbow weren't as vivid after testing the monitor several times, but they still pop up here and there, but the seams of white shadows

Great monitor with one dead pixel

I bought it from another account but out of the box there was a pixel in the top right corner, it's not that noticeable but still disappointing. Although the monitor is decent.

good in my opinion

The monitor works fine. Unfortunately, it arrived with a dead pixel on the left side of the monitor. Therefore, any light colors will make the stain irritating.

First high refresh rate monitor

This is my very first high refresh rate monitor. I've been using it for 3 weeks now and have no problems. Asus always has the best build quality and this monitor is no different. I would 100% buy another monitor like this from them.

This is a GREAT purchase and definitely value for money!

You will not be disappointed with this purchase at this price. It offers a clear picture, just the right size and all the other features like 165Hz Freesync and 1ms screen response time, as well as an elegant design. Now it's a bit plastic, but a durable and attractive integrated gaming screen!

Was good until it broke

I had this monitor for a month, the screen went black and then I had to return it. Switched to the Samsung 27" Odyssey Gaming CRG5, a much higher quality and well built monitor. Never had any issues after the swap.

Great monitor for the money.

When someone plays video games for competition or just for fun. You should definitely get a monitor with a slow response time and a refresh rate of at least 144 Hz.

The best choice you can make

So far this monitor has not disappointed me. As I was browsing and comparing the components for my PC I wanted to make sure I made the right choice for the right monitor and I'm glad I chose this one.

Easy assembly - great screen

Better than I thought because I thought I needed a bigger panoramic view, but this extended monitor for my Asus gaming laptop is just perfect!

  • Limited Warranty

I returned a dead pixel monitor so thought I'd upgrade and buy it but it was awful. I noticed right away that the text and icons on the desktop were blurry and it wasn't a setting I hadn't tweaked, I wasted an hour trying all sorts of settings, but the picture quality is just terrible. I ran the game to check the image quality and found that every object in the distance was really blurry and jagged, as if you could see every pixel outline of each object. Also, the screen was randomly generating

Does not rotate as shown

I bought this on purpose because I wanted a curved monitor that swivels to portrait mode. This is not common with curved monitors. I chose the 27" FHD 165Hz curved model and the attached photo shows (and includes a text description) that it can be rotated 90 degrees. This can not be true. I also had a dead pixel build up.

Great monitor - my new review

This monitor is excellent. I play video games on Xbox and have played on TV my entire life. My friends talked me into buying a monitor for the game and I'm so glad they did. This monitor is amazing and has really changed the gaming experience, great for console systems so I think it would be great for PC too.

Super delusion - my new review

Shows HDMIx2 but only has one HDMI port. Also shows he can turn when he can't. Super is misleading and very upset that it has so many false advertisements.

I like this monitor in my review.

Started with one. Although I needed multiple monitors, I ordered another one. Two is still not enough, I will order a third after this review. Although I may need to order a slightly longer cable to connect a third monitor as the cable that came with it can be a bit short with my computer on the ground. Also, when you turn on the monitor for the first time, you need to change the settings and turn it on at 165, as this is much lower than the factory value.

Not the best value for money

I didn't pay attention that I bought from a third party. So buying it here will cost you around $80, not on the Asus side. Although the product works great
