great price and monitor with one major let down
I bought two of these monitors on Friday 11/19/2021. What made me buy this monitor was the price. There was a deal going on and I managed to get two at $199.99 each. Aside from the price, the 1ms MPRT, IPS, 165Hz, 27in and G-Sync Compatible (not Native G-Sync), were more reasons why this monitor was a steal. Keep in mind, they retail for $329.99 so grabbing these for $200/piece was a major steal. Though, there is a chance I might return both of these. First and foremost, the pixel density. When comparing this display to the VG249Q, it is obvious that the screen looks less HD due to it being a 1080p display but at 27 inches. The VG249Q really benefits from its 23.8in display. If both monitors were on sale, I would get the VG249Q and sacrifice 21Hz and 3.2in simply because I know there's a higher pixel density on the smaller monitor. Secondly, one monitor had a dead pixel. I went to Best Buy and exchanged it. I still have it in the box and have yet to test it out. I've had dead pixels before on other monitors. It is not a bid deal, but if you're paying for a new monitor, it has to be flawless. Especially if they're ASUS monitors. Ultimately, these monitors are pretty good for the price. I know I previously mentioned that I might return them, but the price was so good that I'm willing to keep it. If it was retail price, I would definitely pass and pick up two VG249Qs at retail instead. If neither are on sale, definitely get the VG249Q. If both are on sale, you can't go wrong with either choice. Get the cheapest one.

Asus is the best
Asus is the way to go. Me and 2 of my buddies bought this monitor for the ps4 and ps5 and it’s excellent. Runs at 120hz 1080p on games that support 120 hz on ps5 and has excellent brightness unlike other cheaper pc monitors. I have the Sony x900h for games like assassin creed but FPS games are excellent on this pc. Wouldn’t suggest buying for anything other then FPS games tho

Great stuff
I got this around a year ago for around 180 dollars on sale. It’s been great. No dead pixels, no weird color shifting/banding. Motion is smooth and there no smearing as far as I can see. The OS is very detailed. Colors are great since it is an IPS. Great bang for the buck if you get it on sale.
