I'm going to get the bad out of the way first, as no monitor is perfect. But there is so much good to go along with the bad. For an AV panel, it's pretty great. I have this monitor underneath a 24in Asus IPS 1080p 144hz panel. Cons: -Black uniformity is not good. I feel like I likely got a good panel but it is still not the best. Not a deal breaker for me though. -Using the freesync alongside ELMB does not work well (or at least didn't for me). Causes artifacts in games and doesn't function well in dark scenes. (i also have the Asus VG249Q and it works flawlessly on that, but maybe because it's an IPS and the VG32VQ is AV?) Still games like a champ. Out of the box, colors/look was off for my liking. Too red. I took some serious time adjusting ALL settings to get them where i liked them (blend between gaming and work for around 10 hrs a day). Looks beautiful now. Pros: - Picture is amazing once tuned. Crispy, vibrant, clear. I really enjoy this monitor for everything i use it for. Great for bright rooms. - Gaming on this monitor is a treat. 10/10. 1440p is crisp even for a 32in. 144hz makes for a great experience coming from 60hz on my last set of monitors. I currently have an RX570 8gb until the GPU gods bless me with availability, so at 1440p my FPS ranges from 60 to 120 depending on game/settings. Freesync does what it's supposed to. No screen tearing or other issues so far. Big screen = big fun. EXTREMELY responsive. HDR gaming isn't super bright but in most cases i don't mind it. - Menu navigation is the best I've had on a monitor hands down. Super easy to swap settings/profiles in the OSD. Multi direction 'joystick' is amazing. - Real Estate/Workspace. at 32in this monitor is a serious upgrade from a 24 - even dual 24s. Working on a computer all day (as many of us are working from home) the size/1440p is perfect. Easily fit 4 windows snapped in with plenty of room for all. BRIGHT as well. No glare from lights in the room show. - Stand/Design/Build. Asus Tuf Gaming line has one of the best stands in my opinion. Great height adjustments, tilt up, down, left, right. Immersive curve for gaming, sturdy and very well built stand/monitor. Does NOT feel cheap in any way, shape, or form. Overall I gave this monitor a 4/5 because of the few things i detailed in the beginning. I didn't mind tinkering with the settings out of the box. I love this monitor. At it's price point i feel like it's a very sound purchase.

This is one big monitor, it was for my son. He is a true techie and studies specs and what is the best value and quality for his beefy PC. Amazing graphics on his RTX, goes nice to his other monitor but certainly over shadows it, I guess we should have got two so the system would like quite nice. Needless to say he is very happy with it, great purchase!

I have an Asus 1080p monitor and was looking into other monitors to upgrade, in the end I went with this one. I'm glad I did, it curves well with my desk and picture in my opinion is amazing. I didn't expect the stand to be as big as it was (roughly 9x12 inches). There was a cosmetic part that goes to the back that I broke as soon as I tried to put it on. That may have been my fault, because I tried to take it off to run cords through it. I'll also include a picture next to a 27 inch monitor for reference, and the part I broke on the back.
