Asus Tuf gaming monitor
I have had this monitor for around a year and a half or so and it is a great monitor. Haven’t had any issues with it and use for gaming quite often. The picture quality is good and I can use for my xbox or pc.

Great monitor
My son loves this monitor. One of his best ones yet. Better than 360 hz monitor he says. Being hooked to a gaming laptop, you have to change the resolution.
