There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I really like the IPS panel too, colours looked aqmuch better than my previous VA monitor.
Not a fan of the ELMB sync tho, makes me dizzy.

Assembly was silly easy. Attach base, plug in power, plug in HDMI or DP cable, and you're in business. Only gripe I have at this point is the IO ports on the back are a little close to the monitor backplate. I was originally going to use a Cable Matters DP cable that had locks on it, but the thicker plug on that one necessitated I use the cable that came with the monitor. It also was really difficult to get the cable to click into the monitor due to the same close tolerances. Finally got it in place, and the monitor fired right up.
Ran the Heaven benchmark in order to tweak the settings to where I wanted them, and also see how the monitor performs. Initially, there was a bit of flickering. Opened up Windows Display settings and maxed the Hz at QHD, and it seemed to dramatically reduce it, but there was still a teeny bit of zig zagging in shadow borders. I found the OC option in the Monitor's menu, and that immediately resolved the issue. I still followed up by maxing the Hz selection under both Windows Display options and Nvidia Control Panel, haven't looked back.
I was able to OC the monitor using Nvidia to 165(!)Hz, and have had zero flickering or stuttering. Color me impressed! I know the monitor is advertised to 155Hz, so being able to push it beyond that is a nice add on.
The ELMB function is pretty amazing too! image is buttery smooth, and I can read text on windows while moving them around. I wouldn't say it's crystal clear, but it's definitely nice!
IPS Panel looks amazing sitting next to my 4K IPS monitor as well, color between the two on default settings are very similiar, brightness is about the same as well.
I expect for the money, the backlights will hold up better than the other monitor I purchased. If anything changes or this monitor quits, I'll update this review, but I think ASUS hit the nail on the head with this one. Very happy with the monitor!

Well, in practice, it's actually awful. ELMB causes noticeable artifacting around an object moving on the screen. TFT Central shows this same problem for the IPS monitor that has ELMB, if you want a reference. Trading motion blur for reduced brightness as well as the ELMB artifacting is simply not worth the trade-off, in my opinion.
The display settings are obnoxious. There's no "normal" display mode. All of the display modes are some sort of "GameVisual" mode, except for sRGB, which disables the setting of Brightness, Contrast, etc. This makes it difficult to calibrate the display optimally.
The icing on the cake, and the reason I am ultimately returning this monitor, is the dead pixel issue I encountered. This could easily be just an unlucky panel, but I personally do not wish to have a monitor with pixels noticeably not working.

I do not play pro e-sports or anything. I replaced a B**Q Z*w*e, and this is just as fast response but the refresh is higher (165Hz currently). The G-Sync is nice, I do not see tearing like I used to on other brand monitor occasionally. I generally change the settings in multiplayer games to get at least 165fps and it all still looks beautiful. The colors are a lot more vivid than the other monitor was. You _can_ change this monitor to have all the contrast, darkness revealing, etc. that other monitors do.
Watching videos on this is amazing. It's beautiful, and the HDR is lit. I had no idea some of these games popped out like that. The sun is almost blinding when you look at it, and all the other things you want from a great ultra-quality experience.
The speakers built-in are really low-end. They are weak, but they do not distort, so there's that. I have them on 100% for windows sounds and such when I don't have my headphones on, and I occasionally do not hear things with just background noise. If you want great audio experience, this is not it. I am not deducting points for this because it's a computer monitor and not a TV.
The stand does not wobble, does not lean, it is very solid and the panel doesn't shake just from typing on the desk like others have done. the pedestal is adjustable, turns 90 degrees one direction. The bezels are slim, the material does not reflect the screen
The Display Port input handles 165Hz no problems at all. Not even the slightest flicker on any occasion. Other brand monitor had issues on the DP with 144Hz and I had to use a nice 4K rated HDMI instead. DP and HDMI on this are awesome!
If you put a 4K signal into this monitor, it will accept it and just shrink the display to fit. I did this by accident with the Xbox One X and was quite surprised. It looks nice, but then I set it to 1440p and things are beautiful.

I would buy another if it wasn't so expensive, but for what your getting it's 300$ cheaper than the competition. Stop grumbling around and just buy this one dude.
