Super Light, cool design, poor pic quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super light monitor with separate power supply. Nice gaming design. Picture quality is not that great. Very grainy and pixely. Try every adjustment under the sun and could not get it to look good.

Worst QC I have ever seen!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered my first screen the beginning of May received it and it had multiple dead pixels and stuck pixels in the middle of the screen. Figured it was a fluke so I sent the screen back to Best Buy and then have them do an exchange and send out the same model of ASUS monitor. Two weeks later I received a new one and it again had a ton of dead and stuck pixels on the bottom center of the screen. Best Buy did a terrible job with handling my situation in the end I returned the Asus monitor and will never buy from Best Buy again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Average but OK
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Average screen resolution. It’s ok for an inexpensive monitor, but you might be better served to spend just a bit more for one that can handle higher resolution.

Great for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Increased my FPS significantly. However, if your looking for image quality, this isn’t for you. The resolution is just average
I would recommend this to a friendBudget monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great if you're on a budget and get it on sale. A bit blurry close up because of the larger pixel size compared to QHD at 27".

I'm sorry to hear that you are unsatisfied with this monitor's console compatibility. That certainly sounds like a frustrating situation. As you noted, this monitor is not compatible with high refresh rates on either the PS5 or Xbox Series X. I've linked the console compatibility list for monitors below, I recommend you refer to this prior to purchase. If you have already purchased the unit, I recommend contacting Best Buy customer service for a return.

Spot of bright pixels
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, my monitor showed up with a small spot of bright pixels at the bottom left section, causing a bright dot to be visible unless the color black is showing. It almost looks like a defect in the panel bonding or coating. I would still recommend this monitor due to the price and picture quality (when not defective), but be aware you may get one with defects.

Dithering and Pixelation also AA problems
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this monitor as my first good monitor that has 144hz the monitor has dithering issues on shadows and pixelation around objects that are still and especially when moving and anti aliasing causes the monitor to show white shimmering all over unless you want this to be blurry with TAA. The colors are fine for a ips monitor but not great.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBroke just after return period
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I mean, it worked in the beginning, but immediately after the return period I started getting lines of the screen and pulsing. Can't even look at it! I've tried messing with the connections and using a different HDMI cable. No luck. Now I have a $350 monitor that's unusable and nonreturnable.
