I have had it for about 3 weeks now. So far so good. Display is truly beautiful. I had a ips 34in curved 144hz screen. Its a good monitor, but this Asus blows it out of the water when it comes to visual. Easy to set up. Had to make my CPU understand it was a 240hz, but once that setting was changed, everything synced up nicely and HDR kicked on. Really no complaints yet.
I did have to firmware update the monitor. It was a fairly easy prcoess and it did fix an issue that would make texts look hazy. Once updated the problem went away completely. Kind of weird to be updating monitors, just the technology age we live in.
Easy to install on monitor Arm, fairly light weight.

The display itself is amazing, almost like a portal into another reality with how deep the blacks can be and how vibrant the colors are - but as I found out after a cavalcade of hardware issues happening immediately after I bought this - the ports are WAY behind the rest of the monitor.
The ports cap at HDMI 2.0 (pre-2017!) and DP 1.4 (pre-2019), neither of which can natively fully drive the monitor (a 2024 monitor!). Windows Display Stream Compression normally resolves this, but it apparently does NOT play nice with Windows' implementation of HDR (aka 80% of why I bought the monitor), which means in some multi-monitor setups, it'll max the DP bandwidth (I think?) and cause non-stop flickermania as windows decides what to prioritize.
Once I figured out the defect was ASUS skimping out, I had a fine experience. There is a 2025 revision of this monitor that has HDMI 2.1, so I recommend that one instead once it comes out. I cannot recommend the 2024 version due to it being a mansion built on stilts.
Also, the Best Buy reps at both stores were wonderful. seamless purchase and exchange experiences at both stores.

Monitor has it all! High refesh rate, lightning fast response times, color accuracy.... and most of all. BLACK. The blacks are incredible, you can see every detail. If it was a little cheaper I'd buy another.

Bought this monitor because it was a glossy oled and had good reviews. Was worried because I heard that it might have a problem with black crush. Well i got the monitor updated to the latest firmware and drivers and yay absolutely no black crush at all. Very vibrant colors and deep blacks. The text is not as sharp as with my old ips but it got better after i turned off cleartype in windows. Really happy with this monitor.

Great screen display, absolute beauty. Easy to set up, has plenty of settings and even a screen refreshing option. The screen does ask for a lot of manual refreshes, however, but not entirely bad, especially if you don't remember to do them yourself.
Has a wall mount option, does not take up much desktop space as is. Very sturdy. Very large.

For the moment, I give it 5 stars. I will write a new review or update this one in the future.

Excellent picture only downside of this OLED is that they included the old HDMI so when using my PS5 console with the monitor I can’t utilize the tech in the monitor since it doesn’t have a hdmi 2.1 …for the price that seems silly not to include and limiting my use to DisplayPort to get the most out of it making me forced to use it for pc…. Other than that highly annoying cheap out, its excellent super easy to navigate the settings and ASUS is top notch just really not wise excluding the hdmi 2.1, I didn’t realize that until I had already brought it home and connected to console.

beautiful picture, but suffers from washed out over brightness at times, especially with HDR content. Noticed has a problem rendering shadows properly. This is important in gaming. Makes shadows pitch black instead of a gradual shading into black. Hard to see someone hiding in a corner without boosting up brightness like crazy wh.ich then washes out the image
Compared side by side with the QD-OLED XG27ACDNG, and mostly looked similar except the QD-OLED has brighter more vibrant colors in certain scenes. It also does not suffer from poor HDR. HDR looks great on the QD-OLED
I wanted to buy into the WOLED hype, but the QD-OLED simply looked better with color and provided better black level/shadow drawing capabilities.

Once you go OLED, you can't go back. The colors on this monitor are incredible, and the blacks are perfectly dark. The 240Hz refresh rate combined with the 0.03ms response time makes gaming feel instantaneous and buttery smooth. Monitors are fragile, so I trust Best Buy for their safe handling and reliable delivery service.

Monitor colors are perfection. 240hz is perfect because driving most games at or near 240fps is still difficult and. I have used VRR and I can not tell this panel has any OLED flicker. Glossy display is beautiful and WOLED makes blacks richer than QDOLED at the cost of noticeable text fringing. Reading text is noticeablely less enjoyable than non OLED but, let's be honest you're buying this to watch content and play video games. For production skip this monitor and look for a 4K QD OLED.

So far so good! Just picked it up today. Price matched w AMZN got it for 569. Love the glossy display. Glare is hardly a issue for me.
Also, prefer the WOLED panel over a QD-OLED as it provides greater range of detail and it's less susceptible to burn in.
Only caveat at first was the really bad fringing with text in Windows. However, after some research I found that the issue is actually due in part to Windows lack of support for OLED screens and poor text rendering.
Applied this fix. It's night and day!
Text looks amazing now.
1.) Search for "Windows Clear Type" in the start menu and turn it off (go through the steps and when you're finished sign out and back in to apply changes)
2.) Fringing should be gone now for the most part.
3.) Install MacType @ mactype.net > Install as "Comptaiblity Mode" > Hit Finish.
4.) Run the application from the start menu. Access your system tray (bottom right hand corner of the windows taskbar "^" icon)
5. Right Click and Select "Clean Dark Greyscale".
6. Now all text should look far better without the fringing.
You'll need to make sure the application is running at all times.
You can do so by having it run at startup.

So I was having really big issues choosing which OLED, 1440P monitor to get. There was many choices even outside of BestBuy but in the end I landed with this. The colors are very vibrant when tuned. Blacks are truly black.
I absolutely love the pixel refresh feature that extends the life of this monitor to make sure no burn ins are happening from long hours of gaming
