It's been a month and still no complaints.

I don't like looking right back after taking something out of the box. I want to use it first. This is my first 4K display and at 32 inches it takes up a lot of space, but I could have gone for something bigger. However, it can be used and it looks like the price of the next option will increase significantly. relevant to displays in general, not just models dead pixels on monitors are a fact of life due to the critical alignment of the driver matrix, the wires are very thin therefore almost…

The bedroom game is great for color grading and content review.

This 4K monitor is a game changer. I just calibrated this monitor and color corrected a feature film on it. Excellent resolution and detail, you can see everything in the picture right down to the grain. The blue light technology is much easier on the eye than my MacBook screen and I do most of my tasks on it. It definitely changed my bedroom game in terms of watching movies and shows. Next level. Great price for what you get.

In the end I returned it.

I narrowed my choices down to the Asus VA32UQ or the BenQ EW3270U when both retailed for $350. In the end I chose Asus and was very disappointed. The different colors seemed to change a bit and after 3 days of use it started turning off in the middle of computer use and the only way to get it working again was to unplug it and plug it back in. Over the course of several hours of use, I had to repeat this process many times. At that point I repackaged it and sent it back for another model (LG…

The monitor exceeded my expectations.

This is an excellent monitor. Good build quality, excellent image quality. I have no complaints. The only area I could criticize is the speakers. They're good for general tasks, but not the biggest ones. However, most people who care already have a separate speaker system.

Excellent value for money and quality. Excellent image quality and very fast response. Be sure to use a high quality video cable for perfect picture quality. The built-in speakers don't deliver a decent basic sound.

Great monitor: my review

Pros: Games and videos (Netflix, Hulu, Anime, and other streaming apps) are great. Cons: The monitor is only 60Hz and 4ms (I can't complain about that though). This monitor is an upgrade from my 27" 1080p which I need for a dual monitor but the issue I had has been posted for almost a month compared to my other stuff. I would put 5 only 4

Good versatile monitor

I bought this monitor for work and I am generally satisfied. I didn't have the quality control issues that some reviewers have. For HDMI only (I don't have a display port on my dock) there are limitations to what you can do with this monitor; at 2560x1440 you only get 50Hz and not much brightness. This is more than sufficient for my work purposes. In general, and this is for non-gaming, old folks like me, think carefully if you really need a monitor this size. The 32 inch monitor is really big…

Excellent monitor in my review.

The monitor looks great on my desk. Image quality is also excellent (e.g. movies, spreadsheets, websites). The brightness of the image does not cause eye strain and does not cause image retention. A training stand, much better than most center column mounts. Connections and controls are easily accessible.

Clumsy interface (6 levels!) for switching input sources

Why does a monitor need three video inputs when it has to go through six different nipple movements on the back of the monitor?!? It's hopeless to change the source. Bad design. Don't take this monitor if you need to change inputs throughout the day. Works great if you never want to change the source.

Important to know when using for surveillance cameras and PC inputs!

The picture and functionality of this 32 inch 4k monitor is good, but be careful if you want to use it to switch between desktop and NVR security camera display. Unfortunately, Asus made this monitor unsuitable for this situation. Here's why: the monitor has both HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 inputs. With a PC connected to HDMI 1 and NVR security cameras connected to HDMI 2, the monitor will automatically switch to HDMI 2 to HDMI 1 after periods of inactivity um means that if HDMI 1 in Windows settings…

Too dark for HDR in my opinion

It's not bright enough for HDR, so everything gets too dark and you can't see anything. Halo effect with light. Decent monitor if you don't want to use it for HDR

Very good monitor - my new test report

This is my first Asus monitor and I am very happy with it. The style is attractive and concise. I installed my new BeeLink mini pc on the back. I'm not sure what else to say about this monitor. Beautiful fantasies and the like. I mainly use business apps etc. and don't play games. Browsing the web etc. The 31.5 size is a great upgrade from my previous Asus AIO 27 inch PC. This monitor has a relatively small bezel of about 1/2 inch. It is not adjusted up or down, but tilted. At the moment I have

Worst VA panel I've ever seen

You know what they say about VA panels, that they aren't as good as IPS in terms of viewing angles. So if you look at them from the side, they don't look the same. And that goes for VA TVs, if you see them from the side they look a bit washed out, but that's not too bad. However, this monitor is so bad that when viewed directly it looks worse than any VA panel. from the sides. As long as the background is mostly white, it's fine, but if you're using a program with a dark GUI and look straight…

I can't tell if the OSD switch is working properly

This monitor uses a multi-function switch for various options. The two options are of course "ON” and "OFF”. Pressing "ON" works correctly, when pressed the monitor turns on. However, turning off the monitor is a problem. When the computer is on and sending a video signal to the monitor, the OSD switch will show the OFF option. However, after turning off the computer, the OSD switch will NOT show the "OFF” option, only the input select option. The monitor can be "tricked" into shutting down by…

If this monitor was higher than 60Hz in Hz it would also be good for gaming but does a great job at 4K 60Hz. I am legally blind, use 4K from computers and visual devices all the time and have found it a blessing. Kids games isn't much but does what I need.
