    Pretty good overall other than build quality

    As the title suggests, the specs and characteristics of the monitor are great. The coloring and lighting looks nice, and I don’t notice any screen tearing. 240hz runs smoothly without OC. The only issue I had was with the build quality of the panel, as there’s a significant amount of backlight bleed, especially at the bottom where there’s a loud clicking noise along the framing when pressed. It sounds as if the frame is not fully intact and cannot be pressed into place. Otherwise a good monitor for its price.

    perfect if only ..

    quality of the build is really good. sadly the screen I have got a backlight bleed as seen in the attached pic. it's not so noticeable when you play game full screen. but still annoying bcuz it's there every time i turn on the PC. I already have 2 LG monitor before and they never have problem with ips glow or backlight bleed like this. I thought Asus would be the same in terms of quality but I guess not. anyway got problem when trying to set the refresh rate to 240hz. screen keep flickering and died to black screen after. solved it with changing the setting at Nvidia app instead of Windows settings. weird thing is when use hdr on, I can't reduce the brightness of the screen unless I turn on hdr setting for customize.

    Fallo

    The monitor is great. I waited two weeks to test it, and unfortunately, it arrived with a damaged pixel. I'm returning it and will buy another one. Hopefully, this won't happen again.
