Incredible Monitor!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can not ask for a better Monitor, hitting all the sweet spots. The OLED display is top notch and including built in features to cut back and virutally stop screen burn in. ( top notch!!) It does NOT have a full KVM to multiple devices. I was able to pair 3 devices to my high end keyboard without a problem. First week took some time to get used to the size of it, I was moving from a 35" HDR/GSYNC High FPS (240) monitor. But now, the difference on my eyes is indeed noticeable, and much easier to get work done as well as play. I will also add. This monitor can easily be wall mounts. I have already considered reconfiguring my work area to do just that. 5 Stars!

Absolutely incredible.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this monitor. It's huge, bright and amazing! I'm only taking a star off for the known integrated software issue where the screen shuts off after 4 hours and you have to unplug it or restart the driver's for it to come back on. It's a pain in the middle of a gaming sesh, but the monitor is so incredible that it's hard to knock down any more stars for that issue. I hope they push out an update that fixes it.

WHAT A BUMMER - DOESN’T TURN ON
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the item, picked up last day available for pick up, put it up weeks later, doesn’t turn on AT ALL. Spoke with customer service (twice) and geek squad, and there’s nothing I can do since the return date passed (didn’t realize it had passed before putting it up - my fault). But you would think something like this that is very expensive would be more of an exception to exchange (not return), but it is what it is. Now the long process of going through the manufacturer’s warranty (hoping the issue is covered). But SO BUMMED that straight from the store and unopened box, and it doesn’t even work (on top of that, it being expensive). And I’m also a Best Buy member for a long time (even have the CC), and still nothing can be done. Sucks.

Incredible 4k Everyday Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the cleanest and brightest OLED monitors I have worked with. Wonderful colors at a decent refresh rate topped at 138 naturally is beautiful. I agree with the random black monitor issue that has occurred with others and it gets fixed by unplugging and plugging it back in again.

95% of the time it works all the time!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using this monitor now for a few weeks. Overall it's got great picture quality and really checks all the boxes for what I hoped for out of an OLED monitor. I have a 65" LG OLED TV for my main TV so I had expectations going into purchasing this and so far it's been fantastic! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it has 1 very annoying problem. The monitor will just turn black and be unresponsive until you unplug it and plug it back in. I've looked into it and it seems to be a common enough issue that it wasn't worth going through the return process for it but just be aware of it. I believe it's a software thing that could be fixed down the road. Overall though, I'm generally very pleased with this monitor. I game on it 90% of the time and I have used it for work a few times. Gaming on it is gorgeous and I love the amount of screen space I get with it. Working on it though is game changing. I work in a hybrid situation and when I'm at home it has absolutely improved my work experience. I usually have 4-5 windows open at all times and this allows me to do that with 1 screen and it's amazing. Obviously this is an expensive monitor so I hope my review helped you make your decision!

Dream Monitor!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got my prayers answered always wanted a gaming / productivity monitor of this size and I was In shock and awe when I connected this monitor. I had watched reviews and thought it will be really good monitor but it exceeds all expectation. PS5 Looks out of this world next I will connect my Xbox Series X and I am sure games will look phenomenal. It is heavy though and I will add it does wobble a little. I also have my fire stick 4k max connected to this monitor and it's like a 3 in 1. I am really thankful to ASUS for investing in this monitor. I had to wait almost 6 months to get this since it was sold out everywhere. Thanks to my wife who bought this for me and Best Buy for having it in stock.

Worth every Penny.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only thing I dislike really about this is the dimming feature that is supposed to help avoid burn in. even in overclock mode the display is sharp and responsive and the colors are excellent. However the display does have some flickering issues in overclock mode when using HDMI, so I'd definitely recommend Displayport if you can use it. The size is excellent. I can dock 4 windows into the four corners of the screen and the windows are all still a useable size. it's like 4 monitors in one for productivity and gaming on it is so immersive it's the next best thing to VR. Setup was a breeze and the OSD is intuitive. the Remote control is a nice value add as well. The speakers were a nice surprise for me as I didn't realize it had them, but they are nice and loud for built in speakers and have saved me the $100 or so I was going to spend on external speakers. If I were to ding it for anything it would be only having 1 displayport. I woudl've preferred a bit more balance with say 2 DP and 3 HDMI in stead of 1 DP and 4 HDMI.

The Best of The Best!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What can I say other than it's Asus ROG. This company and this OLED monitor are the best of the best. I have an LG C2 TV, and this monitor blows the picture quality away. The ROG Swift 41.5" OLED 4K delivers exceptionally high image contrast, rich colors, and smooth motion. If you're genuinely passionate about movies or gaming, look no further than the ASUS-ROG Swift 41.5" OLED 4K because nothing on the market beats this as of this writing. I use this monitor for 4K gaming on an Intel 13th Gen 13900K with an Nvidia GEFORCE RTX 4080 Graphics Card, and I absolutely LOVE IT!

Stunning Display
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clear 4K display with beautiful colors and contrast thanks to the OLED panel, and butter smooth frames at 120Hz (138 OC). This monitor is a perfect bridge between a high-end gaming monitor and TV for PC and consoles. As of now, I still use my 32" 4K QLED 155Hz display as my main daily task and multiplayer monitor, and this one for my single player PC games and PS5. Only con is that this monitor is very pricey and is often still at full price even though new models are releasing. If you are interested in a 42" 4K OLED monitor with high refresh rates, at this point, I would look at the newer models or wait until you find this one on a good sale.

A OLED monitor for work and play!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once you go OLED, you'll never go back. The black level is incredible, colors just pop, and no ghosting whatsoever. This is truely a OLED computer monitor, not a TV. I went from a 31" monitor to this and it's more than managable for both work and play. Don't hesistate.

The best OLED monitor currently on the market!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using this for over a week, and I am leaving this review as of October 2023. I use this for both professional use, and for gaming and entertainment. This is hands down the best monitor at this time. It has luxury features, spectacular screen, and is a perfect size. I was not sure if 42 inches would be too much, but now I will never go back down in size. I do have a deep desk, so I sit anywhere in the range of 2-3 feet from the screen. It is currently several firmware updates in since launch and everything is perfect. ASUS continues to be the leader in luxury quality.

Perfect for minimalistic setups. Does have an isue where the screan goes dark but wont shut off, solved by unpluging and pluging back in. It only happens a couple times a month and doest bother me too much. Not sure if thats a problem with other units or just mine. Easy menu controls with an included remote or buttons under display. Its also vesa mount compatible with the larger size thatll support small tvs.

Best monitor EVER!
