Great monitor! The monitor also comes with 100mm VESA mount adapter for those who want to put it on a monitor arm. Compared to the second monitor (matte lcd) the glossy oled screen, the blacks are insane! Colors are also very vibrant. But having a glossy oled monitor also comes with a cost. It is a fingerprint magnet and it being oled makes it easily scratchable (terrible combo when you adjust the monitor). You'll only notice if a bright light shines at it. But normal use, you'll never notice it. Would only recommend to those competitive players where every millisecond count and those who have a beefy gpu that can run games at that many frames. If not, I'd say a 240hz is plenty good enough.

Great monitor I easily get 500hz when I am gaming with my 5090. The oled picture is amazing and I am happy with my purchase!

To start off, I've been using the previous generation of these QD-OLED panels from a competitor brand, albeit my last one had a matte coating. This one is the standard glossy version which I overall prefer now after using both side by side. Color reproduction is similar on both when tuned to same brightness, but the glossy versions seems to unironically work better for me in "mid-lit" room environment, where stuff looks more shinny from reflections. With that said, this is more or less a input lag and slight brightness bump from the last gen version. Not much different of a monitor as a whole, but I consider this ASUS XG model the peak of what QD-OLED displays can do as far as raw speed goes. Subjectively, input feel/latency feels a lot tighter to me. I can also set my mouse to 500hz and more or less have a "sync" between how fast my mouse updates walling it off at 500hz. (adding latency, but it feels "right".. for a better lack of terms). This latency benefit extends even into games where you cant exactly hit 500 FPS. It's a subtle change but obviously there. I also don't think the majority of people need a OLED panel over 240hz. I would argue this model is designed for the competitive player more so than a casual. 240-280hz 1440p QD-OLED is like.. 95% of this monitor assuming same config and tuning from the manufacturer and faster innately compared to last gen IPS/TN panels hovering around 360-400hz.. so there is a clear level of diminishing returns unless you want absolute smoothness in your arena game of choice. I would recommend this monitor for people who own the current fastest AMD X3D CPU and play games like CS2, Valorant, and OW2 for example, granted, there is still a input lag benefit innately even if you cant hit 500+ FPS as I mentioned earlier. PROS: -Built well. Frame of monitor is steel design and steel base is the smallest I've used in recent times.. I absolutely LOVE this since I can position mouse pad without overlapping. -Proximity sensor works awesome when configured to your personal settings. Helps cut down on OLED wear when you step away from computer. -500hz means fast raw input delay since response delay is inherently around 0.2ms on OLED panels. 2.77s>2ms coming from 360hz OLED (raw frame latency = 1000/360 or 1000/500). -8 hour default auto refresh delay for cleaning.. Not sure of this is a pro or con, but it's half of competitor options at 4 hour cycles. I recommend letting monitor refresh by itself to prevent premature wear. CONS: -Still DP1.4, granted I haven't run into any DSC issues on my current GPU.. **ASUS PRIME 9070XT**. Would have liked to see DP2.1, but my card is limited to UHBR13.5 regardless. -XG is a cheaper line vs "PG", though I sort of like this model since it doesn't seem to have certain shortcomings of WOLED versions which are known to have a ton of random issues. Also avoids the larger base/legs. -QD-OLED text clarity at 1440p isn't the best due to pixel layout. This remains true on this version, but I'm sort of used to it as this point. Hoping next generation of panel can improve this. -No USB type-C ports. -Diminishing returns over 280-360hz options if value is a concern. OVERALL: I tried looking for faults or things I didn't like next to the previous gen 360hz model, but this has been nothing but a clear upgrade. Is 500hz overall? Yeah sort of.. I would only go for this model if you take something like CS2 or Valorant hyper competitively and want the absolutely lowest latency possible. Alternatives to this model are the older 480hz WOLED or newer Tandem WOLED 540hz versions which can be considered better or worse depending on who you ask. The QD version doesn't suffer from image retention or random greyscale banding issues that I've seen with WOLED versions. Given that I own a previous gen of this panel, I'm also pretty confident it wont happen on this ASUS XG model. So it's going to be a safe pick provided you're okay with what i mentioned above.
