This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The reviews collectively showcase a high degree of satisfaction among users with the monitors' performance, particularly praising their exemplary image quality, HDR performance, and suitability for both gaming and productivity tasks. Notably, advantages include no backlight bleeding, impressive black levels for an IPS monitor, and a lack of flickering or blooming. However, some drawbacks such as inconvenient button and port placement, lack of HDMI cable inclusion, and long delays when switching video modes have been mentioned.

Pros

  • 🖥 Excellent image quality and HDR performance.
  • 🕹 Perfect for gaming with high refresh rates and compatibility with adaptive sync technologies.
  • 🚫 No backlight bleeding and minimal IPS glow.
  • 👀 Impressive black levels enhance atmospheric and immersive gaming experiences.

Should I Buy It?

If image quality, detailed blacks, and HDR performance are your top priorities in a monitor, these reviews suggest that this series would be a great choice. However, if you value convenience features like intuitive controls, quick input swapping, and out-of-the-box readiness (i.e., including all necessary cables), you might want to weigh these considerations carefully. For gamers and productivity users not concerned with higher than 60Hz refresh rates or needing comprehensive connectivity out of the box, this monitor series offers compelling image quality advantages.


  • A great reliable monitor for next gen gaming.
This is a great monitor for 4k gaming and everyday use. I tried using the Samsung Odyssey G7 but had to return it twice, once for clouding and excessive backlight bleed and the second time because it has horrible local diming problems that kept causes flickering issues. This monitor on the other hand hasn't given me any problems, It does have a bit of IPS glow, which is normal for these types of panels. I honestly don't really have any complaints about it, It has a variety of HDMI ports, which is awesome because it means I can plug in all of my consoles without having to buy an HDMI splitter. The picture quality is really clear and the colors are vibrant, I've tried it out on every console and pc, Both work flawlessly. It's fantastic with all the new gen consoles and definitely worth it if you want a reliable monitor. I just wish it was a bit cheaper, but these types of monitors are pretty expensive since it's new technology. Having it at 28 inches is perfect for me but I know most people would prefer a 32 inch 4k monitor. ... show more

  • Beautiful monitor, awesome spec, but it makes a buzzing sound
This monitor checks all the boxes as far as spec go. 10bit color, HDR, g-sync, 4K at 144hz, IPS, 1ms.. i mean everything and it does look great. However, at 144hz it makes a very distinct buzzing noise that is driving me nuts. I checked the forums and some thought it may be related to built in speakers or power brick but i found that reducing the Hertz changed the noise. i work from home and when its quiet at night you can really hear it. Setting the monitor to 120hz or 60hz does reduce the noise but i didnt buy it for those specs, i bought it for the max specs so I want to use them. I gave it 5 stars b/c the monitor really is great looking, might just be a bad unit. im going to replace the monitor and hope its a one off issue and not wide spread. I have pretty good hearing so its just one of those things that once you hear it, you cant unhear it. I have had other 1080p 144hz screens from Asus that didnt have this issue, so i didnt expect it from this company. Will update later. ... show more

  • Great monitor, don’t use HDMI 2.1
I love this monitor and the ASUS TUF products. First off, I have a ASUS TUF 3080 Ti. I was having several petty problems with this monitor and couldn’t figure out why. The display would have trouble coming on after wake, power on, and any time the display would come on. It was even worse with multiple displays. G-Sync and the ability to Overclock stopped working after a couple of weeks. It was as if the HDMI 2.1 port stopped recognizing the HDMI 2.1 cable. I tried both HDMI 2.1 ports and multiple 2.1 cables and nothing changed. My other monitors worked fine with G-Sync, they used DisplayPort. I even tried my PS5 which uses HDMI 2.1 and the monitor still wouldn’t Overclock anymore. I assume the HDMI 2.1 ports malfunctioned some how. I used the DisplayPort 1.4 and because of the DSC, I could go back to using 10-bit, G-Sync, and 144hz again. It was also immediately flawless compared to the HDMI 2.1. I had bought this monitor a second time and the problems are consistent. I just can’t recommend HDMI 2.1. The DSC give you better results. Before I built a PC, I had no problems gaming on PS5 with it which again, used HDMI 2.1. I’m assuming using multiple displays is what shortens the life span of HDMI 2.1. ... show more

  • Worst monitor experience ever DO NOT BUY. Piece of junk moneysink. ASUS RMA is terrible
This was my first 4k monitor and man where do I begin. The fact that it's so slow, I thought all 4k monitors were like this, turns out, after calling support after putting out with it for so long, turns out it's defective, and that a lot of people were saying this monitor sucks. Even in the comments. The monitor is so slow that even if it's the only monitor plugged in, it gets stuck in No Signal then turns off, even though it works if other monitors are placed. It's so slow it does not see the BIOS POST, it's ridiculous. In addition, it flickers when used with drawing programs. It turns off and on non-stop from time to time, or when the GPU is being used (while rendering and such and gaming.) This happened a while later after I was not able to fully return, this made me so mad that I spent about $1000 on this useless piece of junk. The monitor is so bad to the point where sometimes it just blurts out static noise from the speaker, you have to manually disable it from the settings. The monitor's colors are kinda off as well, my other monitors are more vibrant and red, this is yellow. It wakes up from sleep so slow to the point, all my windows get scaled down and small and scatter to my other monitors. The monitor is so bad to the point where, if you idle, or your computer goes to sleep, it shuts down, and you have to MANUALLY turn the damn monitor on by pressing the power button, sometimes several times, because it decides that there is no signal, mind you the cables are sturdy and they WORK, it is NOT a cable issue. Overall this piece of junk was the worst moneysink ever. I even sent it over to support, they told me to not use the original box, because it'll get lost, so I had to pay $55 for FedEx to get an uneven box to put the monitor in and fill it in with bubble wrap. Total waste of money. Then the RMA support comes and tells me there's physical damage, EVEN THOUGH I had to WRITE AND SUBMIT a damn report of WHAT'S WRONG with the damn defective unit, and they ignored it and told me there's physical damage on the screen, and it'll cost a whopping $460 to fix it, plus $20 shipping (I thought THEY were paying that) and plus $60 for labor... This was the worst monitor I've ever had, never ASUS again, worst experience, I've never seen a monitor so damn slow to the point it behaves like a toaster compared to other monitors and don't give me "oh it's 4k, it's slow" I'd expect MORE from a damn $1000 monitor. Don't waste your money on this garbage. ... show more

  • Love this monitor
I own several high-end models of ASUS monitors. I read a lot reviews about this monitor. I did not let the reviews make my decision, whether or not to purchase this monitor. I went on my pass experience with all of the Asus products that I own. By far this monitor is what I expected. I am an experience electronic technician/software developer, network engineer. also I repair down to component level on electron boards. Most of my training come from when I was on active duty in the United States Marines. I just built a very high-end gaming system. I build all of my systems. in my opinion this Monitor is worth every penny, especially if you can afford it. graphics are outstanding, response time is on point. ... show more
