    Very smooth monitor and overall experience after using it for about 2 weeks has been positive. The color quality of the monitor is really nice, but my only complaint is that the image quality when compared to my 24 inch 1080p(255hz) monitor isn’t as crisp(very marginal difference though)

    Some IPS glow in top left and right corner, normal for IPS I'd say. But my monitor came with 2 stuck pixels right near the center of the screen. I've tested out 3 different IPS and this one has been the best, really wish it didn't come with stuck pixels. Going to return, would just replace with another but the item is now unavailable both online and in-stores. Disappointing.

    Good Quality, but dead pixels within a week

    I understand this is a newer version of the ACS from Asus' more budget lineup, and it worked well with good quality, colors, and the high refresh rate. For me this purchase was more of a want rather than a need, and for the price it was a good deal. I wanted a 1440p 240Hz monitor, and this seemed like a good candidate. However, after about a week of use I discovered a few dead pixels towards the middle of the screen. I didn't want to run the risk of dead pixels again if they pop up after the 30-day return limit though, so I returned it and did not get a replacement. Better to just wait until OLEDs are cheaper and better quality in my opinion.

    Great color accuracy, once its calibrated.

    Impressed overall with how it looks for games once its calibrated. Out of the box I noticed quite a bit of glow around white text in dark mode, especially when enabling performance mode. I had an astigmatism in both eyes and thought maybe I couldn't deal with IPS after. After some research I set it to 28 Brightness with 70 contrast on Game Visual Racing Mode. This really has helped and now I'm very happy with the monitor! I came from a top tier 24" TN panel and the colors / larger display on this are far superior. If you find yourself thinking you want two of these and its overwhelming, try what I did and get a small portable monitor for just having videos or wowhead off to the side. While its not symmetrical, if you do the setup right it can look very balanced.

    In today’s gaming landscape, finding a monitor that balances high end performance with solid image quality can be a challenge at an affordable price, but this monitor by ASUS manages to hit that sweet spot perfectly at a price that actually makes sense. As with nearly all ASUS products, right out of the box, the build quality feels premium and well engineered. ASUS clearly prioritized a clean, functional design, as the stand has a surprisingly small footprint that frees up desk space for your keyboard and mouse. The monitor also features a versatile stand that lets you tilt, swivel, and pivot the screen into almost any position, which is a huge plus for anyone who is looking for a specific setup and also allows for easy changes to your setup in the future if need be. Additionally, the inclusion of a USB-C port is a thoughtful touch for versatility, allowing you to connect peripherals and keep your cable management looking clean. The real standout here is the fast IPS display that handled nearly everything I threw at it! The 2K resolution at 27 inches provides a pixel density that creates a sharp and crisp picture, whether you're gaming or just reading text. With the wide color gamut, the colors are extremely vivid, making environments in games really pop. It manages to produce impressive contrast and deep blacks that add a level of depth you don't usually see in an IPS panel. When you pair that with the 255Hz refresh rate and 0.3ms response time, motion is buttery smooth with virtually no blur. Another highlight when looking at performance is the integration of both G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium, which ensures a tear-free experience regardless of your hardware. Overall, it’s a high performance solution for gamers who want a competitive edge without sacrificing color accuracy or build quality. It keeps your desktop looking sharp while providing the kind of responsiveness that makes every session more enjoyable.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Lots of visible glow around the edges. One corner was especially bad. Also the panel seems to be set behind the glass so far that there is a visible gap all around the edges. Picture was fine otherwise, but the issues were glaring. Replaced it with two HP Omen monitors which are infinitely better

    Amazing refresh rate. NVIDIA compatible!

    To be fair, view the price, this one would deserve 5 stars... It has an incredible 255Hz refresh rate with only 0.3 ms response time. Modern games are definitely looking fine thanks to its provided vibrant colors even with an IPS panel. Powered with NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility and AMD freeSync premium, this Gaming Monitor is indeed engineered for tear-free, ultra smooth game playing or just any long time exposure while working. It works well with my NVIDIA GPU for both gaming and working requirements. Pros: - Fast speed. 255Hz refresh rate and as I mentioned above, the 0.3mS response time. Low latency motion while playing games. - High visual quality thanks to the 1440p (2K) resolution and a very fast IPS panel which is a significant upgrade over the 1080p: Sharp details, excellent color accuracy and fast refreshing game playing. - Adaptive Sync Technology with G-SYNC compatible and FreeSync Premium provided by NVIDIA and AMD graphic cards to synchronize the monitor refresh rate with the GPU's frame rate to eliminate and reduce the screen stuttering and tearing. - Good connectivity thanks to HDMI, Display Port and USB-C allowing connection to high end PCs and laptops as well enabling gaming consoles connection. Significant clarity at 1440p and high refresh rate. - Fully adjustable stand that allowing tilt and swivel with height adjustment as needed. Asus also provides an additional software that allows customizing the monitor's settings via PC instead of using the physical buttons. What I don't like much about it, the Cons: - It requires powerful GPU like NVIDIA GeForce 4080/4090 or AMD Radeon to allow over 200+ FPS at 2K resolution... Mid range PC or laptop are not getting the full 255Hz refresh capability and would not benefit from the main key aspects of this Gaming Monitor. - Slight backlight bleed (for now)... Very common and considered normal with IPS panels. This one is still having some when dark scenes are being displayed. Still ok and would get better if brightness is set lower. - For the same price you may be able to get a 32" monitor but not with the same 255Hz refresh rate... I'd recommend buying it if you are looking for high refresh rate IPS panel 2K monitor for serious gaming or high performance application. Don't buy if you are having a mid-range PC with lower end GPU. You will be missing on its amazing features.

    This may be a OK monitor but the light bleed was so bad I had to return it. It did not have any bad pixels. I tried a second one and it was worse, it was returned also. For a ROG Strix branded monitor I expected more. Also the base frequency is not 255 its 240 but can be overclocked to 255 in the monitor controls.
