Review: My Favourite Monitor - A Great Purchase! - After buying a ROG Ally I quickly became a fan of ASUS products, and after owning this monitor for around six months I can confidently say I love it. The build quality is exceptional - easily the most solid monitor I’ve owned - and the screen quality is outstanding. Colours are vibrant, the image is sharp, and it performs flawlessly whether I’m gaming, working, or watching content. Setup was straightforward, and everything about it feels premium and well thought out. It’s not cheap, but it earns that price. The matte coating prevents reflection well. It works brilliantly across PC and console (and I do use it for both), delivers consistently excellent picture quality, and feels like a genuine all-rounder rather than a compromise. Minor backlight bleed can be noticed in completely dark scenes, but it’s not something I ever notice in normal use. Overall, this is a high-quality, feature-packed monitor that absolutely lives up to the ROG name, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
Review: Superb Value for money - What can I say, don't hesitate just purchase. I have bought several monitors over the years and this is the best by far from a gamer's perspective. Colours on this IPS display are breathtaking and for the price it has superb build quality while packed with a lot of features. While gaming I didn't notice any blur OR artifacts, that could be a result of its 20 overdrive settings or as Asus calls it "Variable Overdrive". I found the sweet spot to be between 10-13 without introducing any ghosting. For gaming performance you will not be disappointed by its rapid response time and smooth game play courtesy of AMD Freesync and Nvidia Gsync certification and as an added bonus for monitors in its price range it comes equipped with a height adjustable stand and VESA mounts for added comfort and versatility. I didn't notice any significant IPS glow even in extremely dark scenes which is quite rare for monitors in this price range. The monitor itself was easy to setup with a well detailed manual and all items included in the box to get you started. Ports HDMI X1 Displayports X2 (one of which is USB-C)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Brilliant Monitor
*by L***O on 9 November 2024*

This monitor from ROG does not disappoint. Here's the categories Ease of Assembly and set up This monitor is very easy to Assemble with the stand or a Vesa mount (I have tried both for the sake of this review. I do permanently use vesa mount for my wall). It's easy, instructions are straight forward and the overall build quality is brilliant. The same goes for plugging in the cables to set this monitor up, its very simple and I like that this monitor has a cable cover to help organise and protect your cables if you're using multiple HDMI, display port, USB's etc. Screen quality This monitors screen quality is insane. Absolutely brilliant. I first tested watching YouTube on my PC and playing a few games. The display is bright with vivid colours and crisp detail. The HDR is also very good allowing customised presets for Gaming and Cinema (watching films) which I believe is a really nice feature as it just improves the experience of this monitor compared to others. I then swapped to my PlayStation 5 and was again left amazed by the amazing quality this monitor offers, games look fabulous on this monitor and the fact it supports VRR is a whole other bonus in itself. For me, this monitor is brilliant as my PC runs an RTX 3070 which can only do 1440p while the PS5 is of course capable of 8K. This monitor means I get pristine graphics at 1440p regardless of which device I'm using meaning I didn't have go compromise quality because of my PC. Other details This monitor comes very well packaged, included with the monitor is 1x ROG Branded HDMI Cable 1x ROG Branded DP Cable 1x ROG Branded USB Hub Cable Both UK and European power supplies These cables are extremely high quality and ensure you're getting the best out of this monitor. Another nice touch I like is these cables come packaged in a really nice small netted Zip bag with the ROG logo on it which can be re used to store whatever you want. I have an ROG Backpack I use for work so I'm going to use this netted bag to store my adapters and SD cards within my backpack. I find this little addition a nice touch and I'm very happy with it. Final Comments & summary Overall, I love this monitor. Yes, it's very expensive, but for that higher price you're getting a monitor that is feature packed, very high quality and absolutely the best of its class in the 1440p range. Republic Of Gamers products are well known for their high quality, this monitor is no different. Not only is it great for Gaming and movies, it's color accuracy means editing and content Creation on this monitor is also very good making it a fabulous all rounder for people who work and play. There are many reviews on here that mention Back-light bleed, yes this is present on this monitor. Is it a massive issue making it unusable? I do not personally think so. Its not noticeable when in general use (Ie. Browsing, gaming, etc) the only time I notice it when the screen is completely pitch black on YouTube. If you do decide to purchase this monitor, I'd like to think you won't be disappointed. ROG have once again made a great product and while very expensive compared to its competitors, it is certainly worth the extra investment. (Also make sure to make an ROG Elite Member account and register the products serial number to earn points to exchange for rewards on the ROG website. This also registers the warranty at the same time)
