Defective product in my review

The monitor would not turn on even when a second power cord was used and it has been 12 days since I returned it and still have not received a refund although it should have been processed by today. Also, no emails or calls have been received regarding my refund or reimbursement.

Very good 144Hz monitor!

Very good for FPS games or Minecraft, I thought I scratched it once but it healed after a few hours. Very high quality and crystal clear gameplay.

biased reviewer. the best in my rating

I'm an Asus guy. Not that it's all I use, but I gravitate towards their products. This monitor is another fantastic product from them. This is a 1080 monitor and is perfect for what I use it for. It's a solid build and heavier than I expected. I would say it's worth every penny. It helps that it comes with a Displayport, but manually switching between HDMI and Displayport is a little annoying.

However, too good to be true.

Everything is fine on the monitor. I almost thought it was too good to be true for the price. However, I have a dead pixel. I even unplugged the HDMI cable to see if that's the case or not. Please think twice before purchasing this monitor. Or you take the risk. I am returning this for a refund.

A black pixel - my new test report

Haven't played yet but picture quality seems good. A big announcement is that there's a random dark pixel. Hope it doesn't spread

Great offer and great picture

I won the Asus IPS panel lottery with no damage, just some backlighting. Leading, but very minimal, not noticeable even up close. It's a great monitor and works seamlessly with the NVIDIA GPU during my gameplay of Eso and other Elder Scrolls games. Also for Steam games like Holdfast and Odyssey. Great picture quality, just download the ICC profile and calibrate your monitor, it's easy. A monitor with RTX 2080, so perfect for gaming.

Don't buy on my review.

This monitor is horribly washed out with a yellow tint. Do yourself a favor and don't buy another monitor. I went back and replaced the monitor thinking the yellow tint was a defect but after getting a replacement I found that is what the monitor looks like. The replacement I received was also damaged with a bent frame causing the backlight to bleed. Definitely not worth the money or the hassle.

ELMB, but not ELMB sync

The monitor is good enough, but I thought it had a new ELMB sync feature for simultaneous free syncing and backlighting, but it doesn't.

FIRE HAZARD - my new review

DO NOT BUY THIS MONITOR. I've been using it for a little over a year and the monitor caught fire during use. If I hadn't acted quickly, my whole house could have caught fire. Sent this complaint to company support with no help. They didn't exchange the monitor for a new one, just wanted to replace it with another refurbished one or try to fix the fire hazard and send it back to me. Terrible product and even worse customer service

IPS is the way to go!

Amazing picture. The difference between VA and TN is insane. I love every inch of this monitor. I can't believe the price is so low. No dead pixels, no big deal. Aside from the audio input not outputting any audio, which sucks. Other than that, it's amazing.

Really good in my rating.

The quality was really good and what was expected. The only thing I noticed is a red pixel. I don't think it was a dead pixel because it wasn't white. It's not noticeable unless you look closely, but overall I'm very happy with the monitor.

Great monitor! to my rating.

I love this monitor. I liked it so much that I bought a 2nd one. Also gave me a loan with my grandchildren. Oh, grandma, you bought gaming monitors. I didn't have the heart to tell them I use them for work, not play.

144Hz, ips panel, low price

The high frame rate and the low price with above-average picture quality compared to other monitors in this price range made me decide on this one. No complaints here. 5/5

Pretty good for me

The monitor has an easily adjustable stand. There was 1 dead pixel in the corner. The only problem is that the monitor settings are stuck in seven "gamevisual" presets with limited customization options. If you can turn it off somehow, that's great.

It's on sale and does what it's supposed to

I'm not at all competent to speak about image quality, but I don't see any ugly image blurring or anything, so I think it's a pretty good monitor, especially when it sells for around $169.

Great monitor for gaming, it's also G-sync compatible. Colors are excellent and I haven't had any dead pixel issues. Definitely worth buying.

Well! However, I would have liked more contrast.

For the money I think this is a good monitor. My only gripe is that the black levels aren't great, which I think is to be expected from most IPS panels. On the other hand, the colors and movement are pretty good!

Playstation 5 in my opinion

This monitor is really good for my ps5 as it can run at 144hz although ps5 can only run at 120hz but sometimes the screen goes black for 1 or 2 seconds but games are never disturbed.

Look elsewhere for a better monitor

After 1.5 years the monitor is already broken. Have high expectations, but when your products can't last more than 2 years, especially with a price boom like this, that's a pretty big red flag. I have bought many monitors and they are all still alive today. Another big disappointment. What else is new. just keep walking Don't waste your hard earned money here.

So far so good in my review

We've had it for almost 11 months and so far so good. I like the fact that we can reduce the blue light and it's big and clear enough for us. But to be honest, we're not gamers; I bought it because of the reviews and some other features and I didn't want the camera on my monitor because if we need it we can use a laptop.
