Great scren. Gives the expected deep blacks, and vibrant colors. Honestly thought it wasn't turning on at first until I moved my computer mouse to the display, that's how good the OLED is.

The only thing that can be said to be bad about all QD-OLED panels is the color you see when you are in a very bright room. Everything else is good it has a lot of oled care. And the image quiality is the best, in 1440p the game is not that slow compared to playing in 4k resolution.

I was in the market looking for an OLED and had the 360hz Asus QD-OLED before this one, didn’t like it & returned it. The W-OLED True Black panel is truly that!! True black.. no purple tint or anything. The proximity sensor is great too. If you step away from the monitor it will turn off on its own. With all the pixel cleaning and features that come with it this monitor should last a very long time. I know the price is steep but I was able to pick it up open box on Black Friday and on top of that had a $200 Best Buy gift card so only ended up paying like $350 for it.. 5/5 recommend anyone looking for their first OLED 1440 high refresh rate monitor!

Just an amazing monitor for my needs. I have a 4070 TI SUPER, and it works great on this monitor. Getting 240-280hz.

This monitor has been a HUGE upgrade compared to my previous one. This monitor has strikingly sharp details and colors, 280 hz, and many settings that can be tweaked to change the the monitors brightness plus color.

I was really excited to get this ASUS ROG Strix gaming monitor… I knew this one was gonna be good. It arrived in a standard monitor style box with Styrofoam inserts holding everything nicely in place. Inside the box the monitor was wrapped and protected, with the stand, base, power cable and a DisplayPort cable tucked neatly inside a little zipper bag, which is super cool, and something I’ve never gotten with a monitor before now, bonus points for that. Oh.. and it came with a full sheet of really cool ASUS ROG branded stickers. There is no HDMI cable in the box, but luckily I had plenty lying around. Setup was very easy. The stand comes in two pieces that connect together in just a minute and the screen clicks into the stand without any tools. From opening the box to having it on my desk with a picture on screen only took a few minutes. The stand feels solid, the base has a nice weight to it and once it is all assembled the whole thing feels sturdy and well balanced. I really like the sleek profile of the monitor itself. The bezels are thin, the front looks clean and modern. The size is perfect for me, big enough to feel immersive, without taking over my whole desk, and leaving space for another monitor, if you want. One of my favorite things about this monitor is the stand and how adjustable it is. I love that it pivots from side to side, that is a great feature and something I use a lot. It also tilts, raises and lowers, and can rotate into portrait mode. Portrait is great for long web pages, documents, watching vertical content, and even gaming in vertical mode for some games that offer that option. Everything moves smoothly and stays where I put it, nothing feels loose or cheap. There is VESA support if you want to mount it and there is even a little threaded mount on the stand so you can attach a camera or light on top, which is a really nice touch for streaming or video calls, and something I plan to take advantage of. The first time I powered it on I literally had one of those “wow” moments. This is a 26.5" QD OLED panel with a 2560x1440 resolution, up to 280Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time, and you can absolutely see and feel the difference.. instantly. The picture is bright and very clear, with deep inky blacks and rich colors that really pop. The contrast is absolutely perfect, dark scenes look truly dark without turning into a gray mess and bright areas stand out without blowing everything out. It honestly looks like something you would expect from a high end OLED TV, just in a more desk friendly size. Gaming on this monitor is insanely nice! The 1440p resolution looks great, not quite 4K, but with a monitor this size, that doesn’t matter as much for me. The 280Hz refresh rate and very low response time make everything feel extremely smooth. Fast paced shooters, racing games and anything with quick camera movement all feel much more fluid compared to lower refresh rate screens I have used in the past. It supports both G Sync Compatible and FreeSync Premium Pro, so with variable refresh rate turned on you get stutterless gameplay. HDR games look great too, with bright highlights, deep blacks and colorful scenes that really show off what this display can do. Dark game scenes still hold a lot of detail and features like Shadow Boost and the optional crosshair overlay can give you a little extra edge in first person shooters. Outside of gaming, it has been great for everyday use. Web browsing, photo viewing, videos and movies all look fantastic on this screen. I create music videos and other AI video content, often in 9:16 vertical format, and having this monitor that can rotate, really helps me with that to see more, and see how it looks naturally. The colors look natural but still very vibrant and the wide viewing angles mean it still looks good even when I am not sitting perfectly centered. The screen has a glossy-ish type coating that still gives you that nice OLED pop while doing a decent job reducing harsh reflections. If you have a bright window directly behind you, you will still see some reflections, but in normal use it has been fine for me. The ASUS DisplayWidget Center software is actually very handy on this monitor and there is a QR code to get there from the monitor menu. I can change brightness, picture modes, gaming features and a lot of the OLED care settings right from my desktop instead of needing to use the little joystick on the backside in the middle bottom of the monitor. It can also run the pixel cleaning cycle and handle firmware updates. If you prefer to use the on screen display and joystick, those controls are still there and they work well, and it’s probably some of the easiest monitor controls I have used to be honest. ASUS clearly put a lot of thought into taking care of the OLED panel. There is a Neo Proximity Sensor on the front that can detect when you step away and turn the screen black after a set amount of time, then turn it back on when you return, preventing or lessening the chance of burn-in images over time. There are options for taskbar detection, boundary dimming, pixel shifting and pixel cleaning that further help to reduce the risk of burn in. The monitor will run a cleaning cycle while it is idle or powered off and every so often you will see a reminder asking if you want to run one. The proximity sensor is a cool idea and works well most of the time, but if you sit very still while gaming it can occasionally think you stepped away and turn off the screen, but you can adjust that. Like any OLED, the screen surface is more delicate than a basic matte LCD. I try not to touch it at all. If I do see a smudge or a speck of dust, I’ll use the microfiber cloth, included with the monitor, and a very gentle touch and that has worked well for me. Between the cleaning tools built into the monitor and just being a little bit careful, I feel pretty good about the long term life of the panel. Connectivity is straightforward, sufficient, and works for what I need. You get one DisplayPort, one HDMI2.1, one USB-C with DisplayPort Alt mode and up to 15 watts of power delivery and a headphone jack. That covers my gaming PC, a console and a USB-C device or handheld just fine. The USB-C power is great for charging a phone or smaller device, but it is not meant to fully power a gaming laptop on its own. I do wish there was a second HDMI port, but I can live w/o that. The ports are tucked up under the back of the monitor and the labels are pretty small, so the first time I plugged everything in I had to turn it around and and get below it to see what I was doing, but once it is all connected you will probably not think about it again. Plus you can rotate it for easier access if you wanted to. If I had to list my small complaints, it would be things like only having one HDMI input, the limited power on the USB-C port, and I sure would love some built-in speakers. Text is slightly less crisp than a 4K office monitor if you are really sensitive to that. None of these are big enough to take away from how much I really like this monitor for gaming and everyday use. Overall, I really love this monitor. I love it, I love all the features. For gaming, it is on a completely different level than most monitors I have used, with the combination of 1440p, OLED, 280Hz and great HDR making everything look and feel better. It also works very well for everyday tasks and just watching movies or other media. If you are looking for a premium 27" gaming monitor that looks amazing, feels fast and has smart tools to help take care of the OLED panel, this monitor is for you!

Best monitor i have ever used, clear and vibrant colors couldn't be happier

The monitor is 10/10, the sensor feature is suprisngly good and pretty much the things advertised about the monitor is true. Only con about the monitor is how expensive it is but then again it’s ROG.

Great visual can’t wait to see more from the benefits it has to offer unfortunately I ordered the glossy screen but Best Buy sent it with no protection and was delivered with a bent cracked screen ….

Very high quality OLED I have been spooked by it's dedicated rest mode a few times though

Amazing monitor for gaming. The colors are night and day between oled and ips. 100% would recommend to anyone who hasn’t had a oled yet. Also got mine on sale for Black Friday so it was definitely a no brainer for me.

Excellent product, extreme quality, very good service, I highly recommend it

By far the best monitor I personally have owned and Ill never be able to go back.

This pc looks amazing oled really is the way to go also I like that the screen turns off with the proximity sensor to protect it from burn in.

Pretty great OLED monitor so far! Sharp image and beautiful color depth.

In most ways this satisfies what i want from a monitor. However, i have gad to go through the return and exchange process due to a defective model. Despite that, it has great contradt and true black hdr. Be careful to not pick at any dust particles with your nails at all, the coating is EXTREMELY sensitive.

Honestly looks amazing but screen gets dirty really quick so dont touch it much

Best monitor i got. My first oled monitor! Super Happy

The graphics look amazing and the response time is perfect.

This is a very respectable gaming monitor - bringing together a refresh rate up to 280hz and a decent 1440 resolution, all at my favorite size for advanced gaming. Deep blacks and punchy colors from its OLED make it especially well suited, with only a slight sub-pixel fidelity reduction when using it for productivity… I’ll explain more on that below. __ Design __ First off, I like the design here. Sure it’s a bit more chunky at the rear, but from the front and sides, it appears very clean and thin, with narrow (material) bezels. The actual screen is inset slightly, but the look is very modern and professional. I turned off the red light on the logo under the front edge to class it up a bit more, but even then, the amount of ‘gamer’ aesthetic from the front is minimal, which I appreciate. It’s not all that different than most monitors in appearance, but one unique feature is a threaded mount on the post, allowing easy attachment of streaming lights or cameras without a separate stand. Neat. __ Performance __ This monitor acts exactly as it should. It’s capable of very punchy colors and deep blacks that are inherent to most OLEDs, supports HDR and G-Sync/FreeSync Premium Pro. It’s a superior look that makes games look and feel all that much better. Even with that, the bulk of what you're buying in this particular model is in the fast response capabilities. When enabled (and capable, given the power of your machine) the faster refresh rates help games feel buttery smooth. For me, 280 Hz is more than generous, so choosing the even faster 500 Hz model seems unnecessary. But to each their own - some gaming enthusiasts may spring for more. The image is fantastic, and like I mentioned before, 1440 is somewhat of a sweet spot for performance in a gaming OLED at this size. Any lower resolution would make this noticeably poor for web searching or productivity as Windows becomes unable to smooth text well enough and legibility takes a hit. That’s the only gripe I have here. When comparing this side by side with an LCD panel, you can tell that text looks better on the LCD. This is just due to the sub-pixel layout of an OLED panel and the best way to improve it is usually to select a model with a higher pixel density. Again, that’s really just an issue for text. In games, none of that seems to matter - the image appears sharp and beautiful, but if you're more likely to want to make this an all-around monitor and don't really care about cutting edge refresh rates, your money may be better put toward a model with 4k resolution at 120-144hz. __ Overall __ This model has just about everything I’d want at this price point. Its OLED panel is beautiful and provides the fantastic image you’d expect. 1440p is good at 27”, but mainly for it's intended use for gaming, first and foremost. ASUS has a great design here, with a clean professional look from the front and the impression of thinness. The stand feels well crafted and sturdy, too. It’s easy to recommend for those who love gaming and are looking at 27” as their preferred size.
