I was looking for a new monitor or tv for my new Xbox series x and did some research and found out the with of the top monitor's out now that they do not have some of the key features that this monitor has . Can play 4k at 60hz ever though it's a 1440p. I find 1440p at 120hz is so clean on my Xbox series x.
I replaced my five-year-old Asus 28-inch VA panel with this 27-inch IPS. Going from 60 to 144 refresh rate, and HD to WQHD is rather impressive. And then there are all the screen setting options, maybe too many compared to my old screen. I will be doing more experimenting. I decided to replace the somewhat unimpressive, flimsy stand of this newer monitor with the sturdier stand from the older; four screws and it was done. A perfect fit. The newer monitor's stand looks outdated and cheap and did not place the monitor high enough for my liking. After a few days it works very well. I hope it stays that way. Asus screens rock.
Got this monitor for gaming but all three had really bad backlight bleed for such an expensive monitor it should not have any sort of backlight issues terrible monitor. I ended up going with the VG289 4k i play on ps4 so i only need 60hz thats what ps4 maxs out at amazing monitor picture is beautiful.
Coming from an older 1080p display to this is pure eye candy, Games that can run at the 120fps+ speeds look amazingly smooth! I should have bought a high refresh monitor years ago!
G-Synce works great, ELMB-Synce works great, and it has lots of other settings you can play around with to enhance your picture. didnt get any ghosting or bleeding, and none of the pixels are dead (just got lucky i guess) i upgraded from a 27in samsung curved with 60hz and a 4ms gtg and the difference is very noticeable, finally getting the most out of my rtx card. very happy with my purchase.
Great monitor, but be sure to check for defects I had to take the first one back as it had some backlight bleed about an inch from the bottom left corner. The second one has been perfect, so far.
