Great Monitor
Love this monitor, the speakers definitely exceeded my expectations to the typical built in monitor speakers. And it runs my games beautifully no complaints at all

A nice monitor...
Monitor quality keeps improving, especially gaming monitors. I come from the CRT monitor era. But I continue to evolve, always looking for deals and better computer monitors. I'm a software developer. I use my different notebooks (9 Windows, 2 Apples) for different projects. I keep some with older OS's for testing, others for the differing software and hardware projects I'm working on. In most situations I prefer a multiple monitor setup, I always have a 27" monitor next to the notebook I'm using (when I travel I have 2 USB portable monitors). I pretty much can't work without a second monitor. This ASUS is light (13.2 lbs with stand), it has almost no bezel (1/8" + 3/8" black bar) (allowing 2 to be used close together) and the colors are very rich. The monitor has a matte finish rejecting some reflections (not all). The detail on the monitor is very good for a 1080P monitor. It supports up to a 180Hz refresh rate, which is great for even extreme gaming play. Its display is extremely steady, no flickering. It supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, and claims to have 1ms response time. It also says it's 99% sRGB accurate, BUT it does not support HDR10. It supports 4 levels of Blue Light Filtering which reduces potentially harmful blue light emissions. I thoroughly enjoyed watching (most) videos on this display. This is strictly a 1920x1080 HD monitor, not a 2K or 4K display. It does not support HDR (extended blackness, mostly having to do with video), yet its blacks are acceptable and its colors exceptional. But I had great difficulties getting my HDR10 notebook to match the colors on this monitor. I tried some image editing and video editing, and the whites were too yellow and the blacks too bright. I attempted to change color temperatures and various user changeable color tones. I get things looking good on one image, change to another and it would still be off. I generally don't have this problem on a monitor which supports HDR10. I guess I knew this, but didn't think it would have such an effect. The monitor stand offers only a tilt adjustment (no height, it can't be used in portrait mode with the stand provided. But it does have 4 vesa mounting holes on the back (covered by a TUF logo). The matte screen is excellent, offering very little glare. I personally prefer this finish on my monitors. The screen has 2 HDMI connectors and a display port connector (no VGA, but it's rarely needed nowadays) and a headphone connector (or for powered speakers). This is not the highest performing monitor you can purchase, but for its price you get a very high quality product. It makes a great extension monitor. I did notice that it's blacks on some dark videos were not as precise as they could have been (specifically The Batman, which is a very dark movie). For gaming it's tremendous, very fast, no tearing, very smooth transitions. Yet the colors are not perfect, when I compared my notebook (ASUS Zenbook OLED) to this monitor. The monitor does have some special gaming features which will display on screen the Frames per second being displayed and an on screen timer or stopwatch and a very fine display alignment. It has 7 quick set visual modes, (Scenery, Racing, Cinema, RTS/RPG, FPS, sRGB and MOBA) that some may find useful. I found Fortnight, Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto all performed excellently. As a throwback I played the Myst 30th anniversary edition; it was again captivating. I'm sure when I first played Myst it was in a 17" CRT. Playing this updated anniversary version (actually 8 versions included) on a 27" widescreen monitor was quite the throwback (some things I remembered others I struggled to recall). Anyhow it was a lot of fun, and with the 8 included games all being "re-mastered" it will be for some time. I like this monitor a lot, but in hindsight would probably have made sure to get one the next version up with HDR thinking it would help match colors more accurately (specifically for image editing).

Asus got it right!
This monitor was easy to set up right out of the gate. I hooked in using the display port plug. My computer recognised it right away and I set the refresh rate to 180Hz. With the joystick on the back of the panel, it was easy to navigate through the menus. I enabled the shadow boost option, which is nice for darker games. Under game visual settings, the FPS mode seemed to have the best picture quality for games and surfing the web. For a 1080p monitor, the colors are very rich. The 1ms response time was fantastic, games were totally blur free. My frame rates were consistently over 160. I'm using an RTX 2080ti to run it. I've played games on bigger monitors, but once I started playing on this monitor, I totally forgot I was on a 27" monitor. It really is that good. There is no HDR on this monitor, but I knew that going in. I really never use it anyways. No issues turning on g-sync through the NVidia control panel. One nice thing I really liked about this monitor was the ability to put a crosshair on the screen while gaming. This was really nice for hip firing in DayZ. The speakers on this thing are putrid, but who uses monitor speakers anymore anyways. I turned them off and use my headphones. The stand seemed very stable. You can tilt the monitor backwards and forward. My only beef is that you cannot raise and lower the monitor with this stand. For the price, you can't go wrong with this monitor. ASUS got it right!
