ASUS - ROG Strix 27" 2K IPS 255Hz 0.3ms Gaming Monitor with G-SYNC/FreeSync Premium (DisplayPort, HDMI) - Black

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.

I’ve been really impressed with this gaming monitor so far. The picture quality is sharp and clear, and the high refresh rate makes gameplay feel smooth and responsive. Colors look great, and the display is bright enough to make everything easy to see, even during fast-paced games. The setup was straightforward, and the monitor has a sleek design that looks great on a gaming desk. I also appreciate how responsive it feels when gaming, with very little noticeable lag or motion blur. Overall, this is a great gaming monitor for the price. It delivers a smooth gaming experience, excellent picture quality, and a clean modern look. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable monitor for gaming and everyday use.

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.

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.

Great gaming monitor. It has the perfect size and resolution for a gaming machine. The 2560 x 1440 resolution is crisp and clear and its great as is better than 1080p and not as taxing as full 4k, easier to drive with a midrange video card. Its accessories came inside a nice carrying case (with a zipper), I used the included display port cable. The included stand is great and the foot is metal and sturdy, it was easy to put together as is fully toolless. You can adjust the height, tilt and angle (rotation, a little bit, I was not able to fully put it as vertical, as it does not clear the foot). It has great quality and great viewing angles, and good color accuracy. Being an IPS display, I was worried about the dreaded "IPS glow", but this guy has minimum amount of it, and its contrast is great, for an IPS. It can be further improved with its dimming options on its menu (its called dynamic dimming). You can control every setting with the joystick on the back with its on screen menu, however the great thing is that you can download Asus's display widget center windows app and you can control it from your PC too, super fast to change settings, and it has tons of settings, like presets for racing, fps, etc. games, you can tweak the contrast, color temperature and more importantly its overclockable function, where you can drive it up to a 255hz refresh rate (its menu warms you may experience flicker, but I have not seen that at all, I have a Radeon 9070xt). It supports G-sync but also works with AMD's free sync no issue. It also supports HDR and does have a VESA HDR certification per windows and supports up to 644 nits of brightness per windows (official specs says HDR 400). Gaming has been a great experience and did not see any blur or issues, its variable overdrive makes the panel respond super fast, so if you are looking for a nice 27 inch 2k monitor, with good HDR and fast hz, this is the one for you!
