I like a few others wrote a great review for this monitor however not even 10 months later this thing is acting up like craaaazy. I don't have an option to upload pictures and videos so you can see what Im dealing with but it's not pretty. Picture will toggle on and off every 3 seconds, the black background makes the green lines pixels and all kinds of distortions clearly visible. Lucklily its still under warranty so I'll be stuck dealing with that now for who knows how long. This thing has been babied since I got it. Updated regularly (currently on MCM110) and pixel cleaning done often to the point where my teammates said they've never heard anyone clean their pixels as often as I do. Unfortunately I cannot recommend it anymore. I mean OLEDS are awesome but this particular model might have an issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great monitor!

Went from a 15" 60Hz laptop screen to 240Hz OLED. Let me tell you, I was absolutely amazed at how the picture looked and my improved gameplay in CS2 can back that up as well. My only gripe with the screen would be the G-Sync. It's heavily advertised but with the G-Sync ON, my monitor flickers so much that it's basically unbearable as it will give me a major headache. My solution is turning it off until I find a fix for it online but so far no luck.
P.S. To the HwoL guy who complained about it being 120Hz. You will need to use the supplied Display Cable in order to get the full 240Hz. You my friend connected the monitor with the HDMI cable which locks it down to 120Hz. Always use a display cable and always connect it to your graphics card not the motherboard. t's as simple as that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

DO NOT BUY THIS

The list of problems this monitor has is ridiculous and Asus charges 300 for it to get shipped to them to fix and if there is even a little scratch the write off the monitor and try to charge you 800 to fix it you’re better off getting the LG or Msi
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

For 1440p, it is unrivaled. Colour is vibrant and the black is deep.

Very nice monitor, short lived lifespan

Bought a relatively new monitor and was excited for its use as it was a massive upgrade from my older monitor. Upon first usage this monitor was stunning. The OLED screen had the colours popping and when playing games its was all around amazing. The issue I had with this monitor and what seems to be a reoccurring theme on Asus monitors is the quality and lifespan. Exactly a week after I got this monitor it had burn in. I know this is a common issue with OLED screens but not after a week and I didn’t even leave the monitor running or on at all. I reset the monitor and did everything to try to resolve this but the burn in was persistent. I had to return the monitor but from what I’ve seen with ASUS monitors and people I’ve known there’s quality issues all around from dead pixels to lines on their displays. I had hope in this model especially for the price range it’s in but was rather disappointed. Maybe my model was a one off defect but I hope to hear better reviews and quality increases in the future.

Best monitor ever, but it’s really easy to burn, I have replaced once after using 2 months, manufacturer warranty is good but it costs me $200 to ship back to the factory, recommend to buy a protection,
I would recommend this to a friend!
