Monitor brinks out colors and contract equivalent to my 4K monitor. I’m very impressed.

I have had this monitor for more than 15 months now and about a month ago I started noticing the edge light bleed getting pretty bad. When I bought the monitor one corner was bleeding a bit but I ignored it because it wasn’t noticeable if I wasn’t focusing on it. Unfortunately it has gotten so bad that about 10 pixels in from the left and right sides of my monitor are blueish in color due to the edge light bleed. For a $600 dollar monitor this is beyond unacceptable. I bought this monitor for longevity, not for it to break in less than 2 years of use. Not to mention that it was almost always less than 75% most of the time and it was running at only 120 hz. I did have 10bit color on most of the time, and if that was the reason the edge light started bleeding that would be ridiculous. The monitor has no auto switching and no input detection. Again for $600 you would think this would be standard. Furthermore testing with an LDAT the monitor at its fastest settings never got close to 2 ms of response time. And its lag is noticeable in latency reliant tasks like FPS games. Granted for games like Red Dead that are story base its not that much of an issue, but still the 1ms is very misleading. But I knew going into buying this monitor that it would never actually be able get close to 1ms due to it’s IPS panel. All I can say is I am glad I bough the All State insurance add-on so that I can get a replacement without paying another $600 dollars.

Big upgrade from a 15 year old monitor which was a 1080 at 60 Hz. This monitor came with all of the cables and was easy to setup and get running. Wish it had a presetting with everything turned on. sRGB color space will be useful in Photoshop.

Although I can’t upload photos at the moment it is quite beautiful to behold. I love the fact that it has multiple ports for (2) HDMI and a Display Port that let me plug in all my games which leads me to their awesome wire management setup. The wires can be setup to go through the stand of the computer to the back of your pc which reduces the visuals of my wires. Other than that the different pre-installed visual setting such as FPS mode, RPG mode and other setting gives a wide range of things to do while I am gaming or just using the computer for any other task.

Best monitors for 2k gaming. I wish I knew how to overclock them though :(. Asus doesn’t explain how to overclock the monitor at all

Excellent refresh rate, feature set, styling. Fantastic display. I wish there was a second DisplayPort input or USB-C input / upstream… The power on logo still uses the old ROG eye logo as well. The stand is very good and I like the styling, but it does complicate using a VESA mount. Despite these nit-picks, it’s still a phenomenal display. 170 hz is reliable even though it is technically overclocking, I have had no issues. It is a reasonable refresh rate because at high/max settings 2560×1440, even my strix 3090 and 5950x don’t push high end games past that. There is little to gain with 240/360hz unless you’re playing something like CSGO @ 1080p

I love this monitor. High refresh rate, vivid colors and very responsive. One of the best 1440p gaming monitors you can buy right now.
