This monitor was purchased to replace an ASUS HD monitor that I had to give up to my wife....lol. No complaints with this new 4K display. If I had to point out flaws I'd say the weight of the thing is something I wasn't quite prepared for....both the display and the stand are very heavy compared to my previous monitors of this size, and I've owned a few from ASUS as well as LG. The weight might have been an issue for me as I mount my display on an articulating arm but fortunately I was able to adjust the mount to handle the extra weight, but just barely. Even though I don't use the stand I have to say it's very impressive. It reeks quality but likely accounts for some of the premium price for this monitor. It attaches and detaches from the display very easily without tools, and is extremely versatile in its adjustments. I even tried to adapt it to my wife's HD display but no dice; the stand is made for this 4K display only. The only other thing I'd like to see on this monitor is a thinner bezel. My previous display was almost edge-to-edge whereas this one has a fairly wide bezel reminiscent of a 5-year old LG. Control placement is good, however. Speakers are so-so, but that was expected. Aesthetically, this monitor is a little clunky, but for functionality I'd highly recommend.

Pros 1. Great OSD, but that's to be said about all Asus Monitors 2. Colors are great if all you do is game 3, Great button location, all are located in the back of the monitor, Easy to control OSD options(But that is to be said about every ASUS gaming type monitor). 4. I like the design, 5. Too expensive for what it is should really be around $200.00 ish then it would be a great value purchase 6. Great for console gamers who can't go above 60Hz anyway Cons 1. Bezels are too thick 2. Not really for video editing/production based tasks 3. Only 60Hz 4. 1080p looks kinda Blury on this even tho it is only 23.6 inch screen. 5. Too expensive for what it is should really be around $200.00 ish then it would be a great value purchase. 6. PC gamers I would skip this one, there are much better monitors that you could get that are also Freesync compatible for around or a little more it's price tag that offer greater value for your dollar.

I bought this monitor specifically to use with the xbox one s seeing as how they both support 4k. Everything looked very good on my regular xbox one. I was able to use 10 bit and 12 bit options on 1080p option. But when I got the new xbox one s, I was very disappointed to see it did not support most of the xbox one s features. I can't play games in 4k 10 bit. I cant watch video in 10 bit either. I already knew this monitor did not support hdr. But since it was 4k I decided to get it anyway. I bought it because it was a 4k monitor for $400. Had I known it wouldn't have been 100% compatible with the xbox one s, I probably would have passed. So, If you are looking for a 4k monitor to use with the xbox one s, This may be the wrong one.
