    Amazing monitor but keep warranty - update in test

    UPDATE FROM INITIAL REVIEW This monitor is nearly flawless. If you're traveling with a small form factor PC or laptop and can afford the very high price tag, it's even better than the marketing is touting. The monitor is a little slow initially compared to the 240Hz TN monitors I'm used to, but crank it to the fastest overdrive setting and you get a much faster input response and no back-ghosting. I'm a semi-pro FPS player used to playing the XL2546, so to say I had no problem getting hit…

    Great monitor. Bad value.

    The Bad: As others have pointed out, Asus didn't quite do their "quality control" on this monitor. My monitor comes with a stuck pixel that stays either off or green depending on what is asked of it. I would never have noticed this if I hadn't done a pixel test, but given the cost of this monitor it's still frustrating. My only concern is that the included USB cable is stiff and not securely connected to my laptop or the monitor itself. Just shaking my desk makes the monitor flicker. I replaced

    without words - my new review

    overpriced but worthwhile performance. but I couldn't get the c type input source to work. I tried with Nintendo Switch and via Dock but it didn't work. I tried it with the MacBook but it still doesn't show up. So I saw a YouTube video of him using his computer to display and charge at the same time, but when I tried it didn't even show up. I contacted their customer service and it annoyed me that I exchanged emails with different representatives each time and had to explain it each time. They…

    2021 not worth this price

    The only reason this is for sale is because no one else competes with the feature set of portable displays. Pros: + High frame rates are great if you're connecting to a display in a way that benefits. + Industrial design looks great, super thin, light weight and portable. Look at my other (calibrated and accurate) display from afar. TBD when calibration can deliver good results, but colors immediately look washed out (with sRGB mode enabled). It's functional but doesn't feel sturdy or reliable.

    Updated review after using it for a while. I ordered it to use both as a portable gaming monitor for my sff desktop and as a second monitor for working from home (of course it's nice to be able to work with a second monitor from the back). The display is very fast for gaming and has good brightness/contrast even when I'm outside on a moderately sunny summer day. The included USB cable is fairly short and stiff, but I managed to get it to work with the cable. 3m active USB-C cable. For those of…

    Pixel stuck, wait for better quality control.

    Frustrated by this screen. As others have said, it developed a stuck pixel after about 6 hours of use. For such an expensive portable screen, this is simply unacceptable. I was about to file a repair claim with Asus when I looked through the warranty and while it seems confusing they allow less than 3 "bright dots" as acceptable with the exception of some of the screens they sell. Turns out it wasn't on that list, so I decided not to even try the warranty route. I will return to Revain and wait

    • Screen burn-in: This occurs when a static image is displayed on the monitor for too long and continually burns into the screen.

    The screen has been giving me trouble for the last few days as none of my USB-C cables charge it consistently. For example, it may work once, but if I move it a little, it immediately stops loading. Or sometimes it just won't charge until I press the button for 5 seconds instead of charging automatically when plugged in. I see this as annoying software rather than poorly made hardware, but I could be wrong. I have to point out that this screen hasn't left my room and it's a good thing it was on

    Working as advertised after a 6 week RMA to fix stuck blue pixels.

    Works as advertised and supports itself without power when connected to the appropriate TB3, USB, VirtualLink port. This is the easiest to achieve and ideal for small form factor PCs and RTX cards. I suspect some laptops have a different USB-C power delivery behavior, so it's good that you can also support a monitor with a dedicated USB-C DC-IN port that is separate from the DP-IN USB-C is. Because of all these variations, this is the best in the portable monitor class.

    Great monitor - my new review

    Actually this is my first review and I will add a small warning. At first I didn't know what to expect from a mobile monitor, but it did a phenomenal job. The color, resolution and refresh were top notch. Bad: The screen is easily damaged. I had the monitor and my laptop in the same bag (nothing else) and when I took the monitor out the screen was broken (see picture). My laptop (ROG Zephyr) isn't heavy and it's about as thin as a monitor, so I didn't expect anything to happen. My…

    Great screen - but serious quality control issues!

    The first screen lacked a power supply and bi-directional USB-C doesn't work with PCs, but USB-C strangely only works intermittently with Macs. I spent two weeks with ASUS tech support and their solution was (too hard dare) and sent it back to Revain. Lower your expectations with ASUS support. Revain Prime's support has been excellent. The replacement screen arrived yesterday, connected today and 1/4 of the screen has dead pixels and thin rectangular white rectangles flickering and scattered…

    When I first got it it worked great. Really nice picture. So why a star? First, I've never been able to get USB-C to work with my 13-inch MacBook Air. The only reason I bought it. Okay, I'll use it with my Apple TV. Worked great. Twice. Now it just won't turn on. I've read that this seems to be a HUGE problem with ASUS. I just got a $500 brick.

    A bit disappointing

    So now I'm a bit disappointed. The monitor arrived much quicker than expected as I am in APO. Great! However, it doesn't register that my laptop or switch is plugged in. It mirrors my phone and it's amazing! I'm currently working with ASUS support to figure out what's wrong. Unfortunately, a return or exchange is difficult for me at APO. I will update the review when I have new information.

    So I've had a Dell laptop for years, traveled with it and never had a problem. I am very careful when I travel and it has always worked. I bought this ASUS monitor to travel with my laptop. The reviews and descriptions claimed that the monitor was solid, made of metal and well worth the extra cost. Do not believe it. The very first time I went on a trip, cracks appeared on the monitor. Again, my laptop is fine. Also, ASUS does not provide coverage or repairs. do yourself a favor DO NOT BUY it…

    VERY high quality in my opinion.

    I love this ad. I use it on my desktop computer all the time and the color depth and contrast are fantastic. A great display for competitive FPS gaming in my opinion. One tip: while you CAN power it via USB-C, it won't provide enough power and you'll find that the battery dies when plugged into a standard USB-C port. It is best to use the supplied power adapter. I also bought longer USB-C and HDMI to Micro HDMI cables as the cables that come with are 0.5 meters long and I use this monitor…

    Arrived crumpled and without a tripod.

    The speaker was dented even though the box was "unopened". The maker's mark was questionable and I think someone resealed it. The sound quality doesn't seem to have deteriorated, it's just annoying that a new product has fallen into disrepair. The build quality of the soundbar doesn't appear to be the best, so there may have been a glitch in the packaging/assembly process.

    Asus treats its customers very badly. We bought this monitor and were never able to get a case or tripod. Calls, emails and live chat support got us nowhere.
