WOW! WOW! WOW!Upgraded from a 24” Asus flat monitor 60 Hz refresh rate (RR) to this 27” Asus curved beast with a dazzling 165 Hz RR.Not a big size difference, but the curvature of the deep black screen is a big plus with remarkably reduced glare from sunlight through facing windows.The huge 165 Hz RR (almost 3x the RR from 60 Hz) fits my 1080p (1920 x 1080 resolution) rig perfectly. My GPU is an RTX 3070 Ti.I play Diablo IV nearly every day. I can tell you that the 165 RR makes all the difference in the world! Objects are much more clear, colorful, and detailed — they “pop” from the screen like never before — it’s like a new game with this spectacular monitor!I’m a happy camper with this purchase. Plus it was on sale with a $40 savings. Did I say “Wow”?Setup was a breeze, and I’m in a wheelchair. The only “extra” I had to do was select the 165 Hz RR from the default 60 Hz.

Even in today’s day, this monitor is still a beast. If your not looking for an OLED monitor, this is probably the best alternative.Everything is very well done with this. Easy to configure and it comes with all the cables you’ll need to get up and running with your desired format (HDMI, DISPLAYPORT).Different color profiles to get you started and they can be further tweaked with the monitors controls.I got this as part of Prime Day and it was a steal. It puts my old monitor to shame. Ultra clear visuals. Supports up to 165hz refresh, which is ridiculous but the option is there.I cannot stress how much you will love this monitor. Worth every penny.If you plan on mounting this monitor to a stand (especially a tension arm of some sort) then make sure the mount can support up to 20lbs. This monitor required me to purchase a new stand (one up to 44lbs) because previous one could not hold the weight.

Purchased on: April 19, 2021 and reviewed as of January 17, 2023.I tend to look at Asus more favorably because of my good experience with the brand so I ended up buying this monitor after reading Rtings’ review on this model. (if you are interested in a very technical and more in depth review, I would suggest to look them up)The quality it offers for the price is great. I didn’t have any issues with dead pixels, packaging was great and it arrived in good condition, the color profile looks great and very accurate (although I don’t have the measuring tools to make this claim from a creative standpoint). The VESA mounting screw holes are well positioned in a way that you should be able to use any VESA plate. (this is important to consider as other models, like my other monitor, which has a square hole for the entire plate and it is a little to small to fit most VESA mounts despite having accurate screw holes)For general media consumption and gaming, this is an incredible monitor. In general, I would say I could never go back to using a standard widescreen for a PC. Ultrawide is a massive upgrade with the extra screen size. The resolution this monitor offers is great too as the text looks clean and it isn’t as resource taxing as a 4K monitor would be. I would say this monitor is a great entry point for anyone considering an ultrawide screen. Black uniformity looks good in my opinion despite the lack of any dimming zones.Another great feature that it has is the 4 USB hub right underneath (USB 3.2 type A). Although I wouldn’t use it for a keyboard and mouse if you are a serious gamer, it is very useful for other things such as charging your devices, plugging in an RGB strip so you can use it as a backlight, external storage or any other accessories or USB drives. (In addition to those, it has 2 Display ports, 2 HDMI 2.0 ports and a 3.5 headphone jack)On the other hand, there are a few things to keep in mind. You will not be able to use 10bit colors with the 165hz this monitor supports at the same time. If you go for 165hz, you will be limited to 8bit colors. However, if you are okay with 144hz, you can enable the full 10bit colors range.Another thing often criticized about this monitor is the slight smearing sometimes appearing in dark scenes where you might see the trails of a red/greenish pixels turning as a brighter object moves. This can be somewhat mitigated with overdrive settings. Unfortunately, this is more of a VA panel common issue than anything else and your best option if you really can’t stand it is to go for an IPS or OLED panel at much higher cost.Overall, I would say this is a good quality product and I would highly recommend it. I can’t speak much about the stand as I use a monitor arm and, I would suggest everyone to use one as well due to the flexibility and movement it offers on top of making your setup much cleaner.
