This ASUS TUF Gaming monitor is everything a gamer needs to compliment the performance of their pc. Setup was pretty simple, except getting the monitor out of the packaging while in the protective styrofoam was not a simple task and the side of the box had to be torn off. That being said, it was very well packaged and protected. The stand "foot" comes detached in the box, but is very easy to assemble onto the monitor. There is a little screw on the foot and a flap comes up to grab in order to tighten it down. The monitor also comes with an hdmi cable, and a displayPort cable. It has a power brick, but has a small power plug that goes to the monitor, and a larger cable that plugs into the wall socket, and is plenty long as well. The monitor has 3 video inputs (2 hdmi, and a displayport) and also has a headphone out port as well. Yes, this monitor comes with speakers! Seems to be more rare these days, but i'm a fan. Unfortunately, nothing to really brag about, but they provide a basic sound. They are listed as stereo speakers, but are really so basic, it sound like a mono speaker. In the sound options on the monitor, there is only an option for voume and mute, but I will say it does have a good overall volume level. Some of the video features of this monitor include AMD freesync, but I would rather see Nvidia support instead. A 1ms reponse time puts you as fast as you need. The panel highlights a 165hz refresh rate, but was only able to change it to 144hz. 165hz may only be attainable on AMD systems, not Intel. You have to go into your display settings, and at first it will only give you options for 50 and 60 hz. You need to go into display adapter properties, then monitor tab, and change the screen refresh rate in the drop down tab. After setting at 144hz, then the refesh in the display settings will let you pick from 50 to 144 hz with multiple options in between. The monitor has options to display FPS, but seems broken or a mistaken Identity as it only displays what the refresh rate is set at.. so it just sits at 60, or 144 or whatever the refresh is.. i find using the NVidia FPS counter the way to go. Continuing Performance wise, the monitor is super responsive and has really good brightness. It is a 1080p ips panel. Gameplay feels so smooth. The menu has a slew of options, but I find trying to navigate it a bit of a pain in the behind. The top button is also like a d pad, and you can use it to go up or down, left or right, or also click it to select. The very bottom button is the power. There are 3 other buttons to use to make choices in the settings. You are able to change which game mode you are playing, like racing, or FPS, or RPG, etc. I have highlighted some of the settings items in my pictures. Overall, it is a 27", 144hz gaming monitor with sound. It has plenty of customizing options in the settings but don't feel like most of it is beneficial. The colors are good and brightness is good. Has speakers but not great., but still nice to have them. The monitor does have a good viewing adjustment on the stand. It is fixed in height but can swivel up and down pretty well. Good enough that my monitor is on a riser and can swivel down enough to look normal. I would recommend this monitor, but just have to remember to adjust your display settings

Great monitor for what I do. Only issue was on initial setup, it puts itself into a weird mode that doesn’t let you access certain settings, and it’s not clear that it needs to be turned off, other than that it’s a good monitor.
