Let me start by saying that I love this monitor. I purchased two of them, one for myself and the other for my girlfriend to go along with our high end desktop gaming setups, and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. The colors are fantastic to other monitors I've used, and the refresh rate is the real champ here. Combine this with a 1080 graphics card, and you'll never want to go back to a standard 60hz refresh again. That's actually the worst part of it, going back to 30/60hz refresh on standard console games is nauseating. It's a hit to the wallet for sure, but if you're ready to embrace the PC master race, this is a great place to start.

Before I had this monitor. I had to get a monitor in a rush for project. It was it’s older, smaller and less quality performing lil brother/sister ʅ(◞‿◟)ʃ. When the project was over I tried to keep it for my Xbox... but lil did I know at the time, it was NOT for gaming and too small ... so after a few days of research and educating myself on what’s the difference between a TN and IPS. After going through ASUS entire family of monitors and keeping my eyes out for a good price ... it came to 3 monitors, 2 were ASUS and another was LG? Well the performance was the key but what separated it from the rest was the most important feature to me... having the ability to rotate the screen, it’s what the smaller one had too ... if you have to work on rows and columns of spreadsheet cells... I’m all set especially for the price I paid... considering it’s a monitor that hasn’t changed it’s design since 2013 and still holding value, better than my laptop that’s for sure... my only gripe is I wish it had a remote or a IR receiver to switch between sources without blindly searching for the right controls
