Q: How does his compare to the Asus VG245H? I play mostly fortnite on Xbox One X.

A: unlike the asus one this is a VA panel that will give you a nicer picture

Q: Is this monitor gsync compatible?

A: It sure is! :) I have it enabled in the Nvidia Control Panel & it works flawlessly with my RTX 2070 SUPER!

Q: Can you change the resolution to 1080p @ 144hz? How does this monitor look and perform at 1080p 144hz? Some games I would need to change the resolution down to 1080 to keep the fresh rate at 144hz.

A: Yes the resolution can be changed depending on your graphics card output settings. Due to the lower resolution, games running at 1080p may look stretched out if ran in "Full Screen" mode.

Q: The specs said it was a wall mounted monitor. Will it still come with a stand if not haw do I go about getting a stand

A: IT HAS A STAND. BUT ITS A BIT BULKY. I USED A VEGA MOUNT FOR MY DESK AND IT DOESN'T MOUNT TO THE WALL

Q: Can this monitor hook up to a Apple Mac mini?

A: This monitor has a DisplayPort and HDMI port.
