2 years in, still love it
||Posted .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.

Performs better that anticipated...
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.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

Fantastic monitor
||Posted .Fast delivery everything came as specified. Monitor has rich colors and it's great for gaming.you do need a beefy GPU to push it though.. underpowered GPU for this is a waste of time you won't get the full benefits of this .

AMAZING MONITOR
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I love this monitor ( I am a asus fanboy) but there is like no lag and screen tearing issues and its very nice and bright so no problems in lit areas. Very comfortable size for a dual monitor setup. The monitor has great color contrast and the viewing angle doesn't do to much with how things look so thats good. ( or normal viewing angle changes) 144hz is good enough for me although I never played on 240 hz. Amazing monitor would def recomend

It's so nice
||Posted .This is a very nice monitor. Power it with a video card that can push it or it's just not worth it. Makes all my games look smooth at 1440p and 144Hz. It's just a little bit on the expensive side.

Awesome monitor for PC gaming
||Posted .Prior to buying this monitor, I have never experienced anything higher than 60fps for gaming. Now I have experienced 144fps and it is awesome. The monitor looks great and has a knob on the back that makes navigating the menu really easy.

Extremely impressed
Posted .The jump from 1080p to 1440p is incredible not only that but the high 144hz refresh rate adds to the experience. It also comes with freesync for AMD cards which I highly recommend activating because there is literally no screen tearing or stuttering throughout the games I have tested. It is a bit pricy but worth the investment the colors are very accurate for a TN panel and the colors pop. This monitor has no flaws absolutely perfect for the gaming enthusiast. here is a review from a trusted source if you're still curious in purchasing this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM8nxvKQ9No

Above average
||Posted .I like this monitor a lot. I got it for good price being on sale. Asus will never let me down on their products except this one....sorta...This monitor in most comparable way is a bigger resolution ASUS VG248QE with this one being flicker free. Love both except this 1440p TN color seemed a little funky to me. I'm a huge overwatch player and this monitor requires a lot of adjustment to make it 90%/100% bearable. Other than that i haven't found a reason to not like this monitor. .
