> 3 dayFor a $150 1080p 27 monitor, this gets a lot of things right. Just be aware that the motion sync feature can cause major eyestrain. Pros: Good color quality Sleek design with very thin bezels Matte coating that reduces reflections HDMI cable included Lots of OSD options (with configurable profiles) Freesync (reduces tearing in games) Motion sync backlight strobing. This is usually reserved for 144Hz+ gaming monitors, but it is here, albeit gimped. Cons: Non height-adjustable stand (passable for price) OSD can be clunky to switch profiles. For some reason, ASUS includes two shortcut buttons (default is brightness and blue light filter), but does not let you use those shortcuts to switch profiles. You can however use it to switch from different presets (with splendid), but not saved profiles. This seems like an oversight to me, because instead of just two clicks to change profiles, you have to do much closer to 4 clicks. I think ASUS should have at least given the option to use the shortcuts to switch profiles. Motion Sync is a nice addition, but not as good as actual 144Hz panel (as it should be), and it can cause eyestrain. I have attatched some images of (approximately) what it looks like when it is enabled, but note that the double images get worse near the top and bottom of the screen. The double images are pretty bad, but in games, I didnt notice it that much. However, I did get eyestrain after about 15 minutes of gaming with the mode enabled because of the inherent strobing, even after having the monitor for a few days and trying to adjust to the strobing. Overall, Im happy that ASUS included the option at all, but just know that the 1MS MPRT marketing point is only valid with motion sync on which has all the aforementioned problems. The lowered brightness of the mode doesnt bother me nearly as much as the eyestrain and double images though. If you want a gaming monitor with hardware that can drive it (next gen console, gaming computer), I highly recommend just spending a little more for a 144Hz monitor, as this is priced at $150. Conclusion: This monitor is great for normal use. Its okay for gaming, but at a $150 MSRP, Id recommend spending a bit more for a proper gaming monitor with actual 1MS response times and 144Hz refresh rates.

Greater than one weekI bought two of these for using on a couple of camera systems and they worked great. Clear as a bell and a great price to match.

> 3 dayThis monitor has a terrific picture, works reliably, has a nice, steady base, and narrow edging. Price was quite competitive at the time of purchase. My only critique is that the on/off switch has multiple functions and it can be a little difficult to use.

26-09-2024Love it! My son suggested this type and size of monitor and we both think Asus makes good products. A blessing for my old eyes! Also great for gaming. Good price for the quality. I would not want larger.

> 3 dayFor $150, this monitor meets or exceeds the monitor I bought 2 years ago for $550. Granted, some of this is just expected as the technology becomes more affordable, but still. Heck of a deal.
