Don't buy if you want Macbook + USB-C connection
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's an amazing monitor in terms of visuals, but the big reason why I bought this monitor was because of its USB-C connection so I could run both the display connection and the charging line at the same time through the USB-C cord from my Macbook into the monitor. Lo and behold it detects my Macbook about 25% of the time. Tried dozens of restarts/sleeps etc with my Macbook USB-C cord and ASUS' supplied cord. I wish I could return this darn thing by this point but the time has passed. So I had to buy a $100 HyperDrive DUO 7 port in the hopes that I can put the latest ASUS update on a USB drive (also have to buy) in an attempt to update this freaking thing. For now I just gave up and used the DUO 7 port with my Macbook to use an HDMI connection, so my macbook is forever stuck with this tumor of cords on it instead of my original intention. For $500+ I would've expected something that actually works and am NEVER buying ASUS again.

Posted .Dear Valued Customer,
It's unfortunate to hear that it only detects your MacBook 25% of the times. This is absolutely not the kind of experience we want any of our customers to have. Seen that you have attempted multiple troubleshooting steps. You can further explain to me at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide this link for reference. I'll do my best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!

I would recommend this to a frienddisplay port
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.is great monitor but the display port is not working so I had to buy an HDMI , I went to Best Buy to buy other display port cause in the box of Asus the cord was broken but they wanted me to bring the whole screen , now I will go the whole screen to see if they can resolve my concern, besides that is perfect screen for productivity streaming ect.
I would recommend this to a friendDetrimental to Work
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Learned that I received a used item instead of new. The firmware had to be updated via a Windows PC in order to use the monitor with my Mac. The monitor doesn't play nice with multiple inputs (even though it's designed to be used with multiple input sources). I tried giving the monitor a chance and monitored the Asus website for firmware updates, but this seems to be it. This is the monitor that they designed and produced. This has got to be the worst monitor I've ever owned and has proven to be detrimental to my workflow when I'm spending work hours trying to get the monitor to work.

Good Monitor Color
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No far so good. No set up issues and color seems fine. I have only had for a few weeks but I would recommend for anyone working with Photoshop/imagery.
I would recommend this to a friendWish it was a little cheaper but great monitor,
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was concern about this monitor with many of the reviews, on Best Buy and Amazon, mentioning a lot of light bleed and bad color calibration. But as for as i can tell, this monitor is great. Navigating the menu can be a little annoying but it's not something most would have to do often so it's not a deal breaker.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat compliment to Macbook Pro
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the monitor. Perfect tool for use with my MacBook pro. Had to upgrade firmware to make it work with Mac chip computer but that was relatively straightforward and once done the monitor is seamless and a pleasure to use.
I would recommend this to a friendSo far good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has a lot of potential, although I still need to use more applications to be able to see how much 4k resolution it has.
I would recommend this to a friendComputer monitor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this monitor has lived up to expectations. Excellent video and easy set up.
I would recommend this to a friendPanel issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The display I received has a few patches of bright pixels around the center of the display and is very distracting when viewing blacks. The documents that come with the display claim that it’s been checked and even certified individually. Its clearly not true if an issue like this can slip by so easily. The colors are decent and pairs well via Thunderbolt on my M1 iMac. Would’ve been good for the price if the panel I received didn’t have issues.

Works as expected.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ASUS monitor works as expected. I use it for photo editing with my laptop (MacBook Pro M1). After I figured out the settings (takes a little time) I have accurate mirroring from my MBP, which was my goal.
I would recommend this to a friendHighly recommend

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hertz on the monitor is not that great. Not only that, the color calibration is a pain and just not worth the time and money. I will be reselling.

Great Picture but Needs work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this monitor because my old Asus Designo Series Usb c input broke. Was pleased by the picture quality and brightness but my only use for this was with my Mac Mini. However as you'll notice in other reviews the usb c port fails to display mac devices. Even with their firmware update for the Monitor the issue still persisted.

Posted .Dear Nfvsa1,
Undoubtedly, the monitor has great picture or image quality.
To successfully use this monitor on a Mac Mini, please ensure the correct USB-C video adapter cable is being used and working properly. Also, verify your Mac has the latest OS update.
If you need further assistance with the monitor, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I will be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent at: http://bit.ly/AsusLiveChat.
