Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent monitor. I have bought 6 of them already

OK, I am struggling to do this on a Chromebook. LOL Monitor was well packed. Worked out of the box. Not dead or stuck on pixels. Picture filled the screen. Two adjustable angles for the stand. Tested all refresh rates and all worked. HDMI was truncated as usual for some refresh rates and resolutions. DP worked very well on 3 different machines. Used USB C on two of the test beds. As usual 60 was the max I could play some high end games like Flight Simulator. Everyday use I was able to go up to 165. Has the feel of a quality unit. Nice non UHD monitor. I will attempt to add photos and specs.

Had less than a year and it went out… only used for a max of 20 hours

This was a huge upgrade from my samsung 24in wide monitor that was a hand me down. I love the quality, settings and the gaming mode along with the built in speakers which the BB salesguy told me it didnt have. I get easy 120fps. Got it on sale at a price i was happy with. I looked everywhere and did my research on about 50 monitors before i got this one. Did need a little tweaking out of box but nothing major. This was a great buy.

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

BOTTOM LINE: The TUF adaptive-sync gaming monitor raises the value proposition for budget-savvy consumers by offering excellent PQ with fairly extensive image adjustment options, as well as a healthy array of gaming-related features including FreeSync Premium, G-Sync, ELMB, & console-friendly inputs with stereo speakers all on the same panel. Users should find out-of-the-box PQ excellent though color accuracy is just a tad off--I suspect most people will probably find something they like in one of the several available presets, but just a few small adjustments elevated image quality substantially. Style is a suitably "gamerish" yet still professional-looking aesthetic with sharp angles, limited bezels, & geometric control cutouts (on the back); however, the budget-oriented price means no additional gamer-centric flourishes like headphone hangers, RGB lighting, or built-in USB hubs. DESIGN & PRESENTATION: Unboxing was a bit more of a chore than I would have expected because the handhold cutout flaps in the sides of the box face downward into the foam rather than upwards--this means that trying to remove the shipping foam from the carton doesn't flatten the cardboard cutout flaps, it drives them deeper into the foam cushioning; I believe one person mentioned they had to destroy the sides of the box just to get the monitor out! However, once freed from its cardboard prison, the user is presented with fairly minimal assembly demands. The base features textured rubber feet w/rows of raised nubs--I thought maybe they were Velcro tabs, but they are rubberized, & in practice they keep the monitor from damaging & sliding around on my very slick office desktop. A single thumbscrew at the bottom of the base is all that is required to secure the wide V-shaped base into the support arm. The vertical support features a handy rectangular cutout for cable management. There is a power-brick, but it is mercifully small--about the size of a modern USB-C laptop charger. The bezel is fairly thin along the top & sides with just enough height in the bottom bezel for a tasteful "ASUS" logo; no other branding/printing is visible from the front making for a streamlined & uncluttered look. The stand offers side-to-side swivel & vertical tilt, but no height adjustment, nor does it rotate so you cannot use the TUF in portrait mode. There is no VESA mounting plate on the back to use with other desk or wall mounts. Tabletop real-estate is minimal; the entire stand is only 8.5" front to back; the legs extend beyond the front of the panel by only 3" while the rear extends about 4.5" beyond the back of the panel--this is a welcome change from the hugely over-engineered stand on my Alienware panel that requires nearly a foot of clearance from the back of the monitor. Connectivity includes a headphone jack, one DisplayPort, & two HDMI connections. Two incredibly small cutouts along the bottom edge mark the locations of the internal speakers while a single LED on the bottom lower-right of the monitor indicates power & signal status. Strangely, the controls are set back a bit from the right edge so that you have to reach around just slightly to the back of the monitor in order to hit one of the four large trapezoidal buttons (controlling Exit, GamePlus, GameVisual, & Power functions) & the irritatingly small 4-way joystick/menu button stalk. A few dimly printed button icons line the side of the monitor's frame to suggest which button/control does what, but in practice you can't see them from the front & kind of have to navigate by feel anyway. It doesn't work all that smoothly in practice because you can't really tell where you're reaching until you start finding some of the buttons & then hope you aren't accidentally pressing the wrong one (which happened to me A LOT)...thankfully, once you do hit one of the controls, an on-screen display pops up corresponding to the general location of the buttons behind the monitor's frame so you can adjust your finger position accordingly. OPERATION, PQ & PERFORMANCE My main monitor is a 35" curved ultrawide, but it's a monitor only--using the TUF made me remember just how nice it is to have a monitor with built-in speakers, especially for browsing webpages or accommodating some light background music. But don't plan on hearing anything from more than a foot away or playing games/movies with complex soundtracks or subtle sound cues because the speakers simply don't have any oomph at all. My Win11 PC recognized the max refresh rate & G-Sync compatibility right away--I was mousing in Windows at 165Hz & gaming was blissfully, buttery smooth. I was curious about ELMB as I had never used it before, so I turned off FreeSync at the panel & deactivated G-Sync in Windows, then activated ELMB from the panel's menu. Supposedly, the backlight will strobe between screen refreshes to reduce motion blur, but the panel immediately took a nose-dive in brightness once ELMB activated & the function apparently only works at fixed refresh rates. I much prefer a more brilliant picture & appreciate smoother motion even when framerates start to drop below fixed refresh (or vary wildly), so I kept this function turned off--YMMV. I found the little 4-way navigational joystick on the back a bit difficult to locate in the blind & to press inward as a menu "button" too (especially compared to the four other gigantic buttons on the back); but once you finally bring up the main OSD, the joystick does let you navigate intuitively (up/down/left/right) through sub-menus & adjustment options rather than limiting you to just two controls & then constantly having to press an enter, exit, or back button to move between functions. The main "Gaming" menu includes settings for panel overdrive, turning FreeSync & ELMB on & off, activating GamePlus features (onscreen crosshairs, timers, an FPS counter that seemed locked to screen refresh & nothing else, & DisplayAlignment for multi-monitor setup), GameVisual (color profiles), & a 3-level ShadowBoost function that progressively blows out contrast & shadow detail to help illuminate dark/hidden game objects/features. In addition to control over sharpness (VividPixel), a dynamic contrast setting that I ended up leaving alone (ASCR), and a Blue Light Filter that reduces emitted blue light emissions, ASUS offers 7 color presets, though none were quite ideal/hit near 6500K neutral right out of the box. Note that some PQ adjustments are unavailable depending on the profile. For example, ShadowBoost is unavailable in "Scenery" & "Cinema"; Saturation & ASCR are disabled in "Racing"; sRGB defeats Saturation, Skin Tone, Color Temp, Brightness, Contrast & ASCR, etc. NOTE--if you want to make color/PQ adjustments on this panel & still have the maximum number of picture controls & functions available, use either the "RTS/RPG" or "FPS" presets & customize/tweak from there. That said, only minor adjustments to color settings (my calibration was R-100, G-94, B-93) at the default 100% brightness & 80% contrast produced a PERFECT 6500K color temp at 154.6 cd/m^2--I have never before hit exactly 6500K in a consumer monitor & the results were definitely stellar! Of all the other presets, "sRGB" came closest to ideal at 6728K with just a slight cut in red & very slight boost in green, but brightness & contrast were locked & produced a significantly dimmer image overall. The other presets seemed pretty reasonable, with color temps ranging from 6750-6900K, and almost all featuring a slight cut in reds plus slight boosts in either blues or greens...I imagine most people will hang out in one of those presets. However, "Cinema" produced a DEEP cut in reds and a HUGE boost in blues producing a rather unnatural-looking picture with a color temp of 8726K. The "MOBA" preset actually removed all blue elements from the image entirely (I'm guessing that helps/makes sense to MOBA players???). There is probably just enough here to slightly intimidate anyone with a plug-and-play mentality or who just wants to set-it-and-forget-it without investing a bunch of time ambling through menus & sub-menus to achieve ideal PQ; but I appreciated the flexibility & deep customization options.

This is a great monitor for gaming and comes out of the box with the cables and accessories you need to get up and going with most any gaming PC setup! Some adjustments to the color and brightness are needed to make this monitor really shine, but at the price it is worth it. Accessories: This monitor comes with an HDMI and Display port cable. The Power cable is not bulky, and it is easy to cable manage in the setup. Monitor and stand build quality: This is above an entry level monitor in build quality and features. Thin bezels complement this monitor. The stand is metal and feels super premium. The movement is very smooth with tilting, but you must hold the stand in place when raising the height of the monitor as it is very lightweight and the whole assembly will raise up when trying to adjust the stand height. I did end up installing this on a NB North Bayou Gas Spring monitor arm desk stand to clean up the looks and it attached with no issue, looking great! Color/brightness quality: Out of the box, the color and brightness are honestly complete garbage. The screen out of the box is very dim and the colors are greatly oversaturated, especially red. With adjustments, the brightness did get up to the advertised 250nits and the colors were able to be balanced so everything turned out generally very nice looking. The whites still have a slight yellow hue, but nothing that disrupts the gaming experience too much. Screen performance/refresh: The monitor was tested with an I9 109000 CPU and a GeForce GTX 1660 Super GPU. The response time on this monitor as advertised is excellent. The UFO test showed no screen tearing, and I am getting full 144FPS-165FPS on some AAA shooters. The addition of having both AMD Free Sync AND Nvidia G-Sync with this monitor is going to be a winner for a lot of customers! Altogether, I am happily keeping this monitor as part of my dual monitor setup. I would give it 4/5 stars as it does take some tweaking to really get the colors and brightness looking the way they should, but the gaming experience is excellent!

Works really well, smooth, and pretty big tbh. For the price and the quality it’s definitely a steal.

At the price point you can not ask for a better product. The speakers are great the screen does not flicker the refresh rate is awesome. I have had a great time using this.

So far I have no complaints about this monitor. I replaced two of my older acer monitors for this one as I regularly game and easily tell a difference in quality. Built in speakers are great too when I need to give my ears a rest, though they are not ideal for directional noise

This product is excellent. I acquired mine a couple of months back, and I am thoroughly satisfied. Its appearance is impressive, the performance is smooth and clear, and there are no dead pixels. A few aspects surpassed my expectations: Firstly, the stand. I've been particularly impressed by its quality. It adjusts smoothly in height without any abrupt movements, offering a seamless experience. Additionally, its rotation to a vertical position is effortless, making it convenient for tasks like document writing. Moreover, the menu system is intuitive and user-friendly. It's convenient to adjust brightness or apply light filters quickly. Speaking of brightness, this monitor is exceptionally bright. Even at 55%, it can be quite intense, especially in a dark room. Overall, this monitor is fantastic. After researching various options, I'm delighted I chose this one. It even includes HDMI and display port cables. I highly recommend it. Have a great day!

Best gaming monitor for the price ! This 165 hz monitor is perfect for beginners , built in speakers and comes with hdmi and display port ! Highly recommend

This is a great monitor for the price. Very smooth, bright colors and looks good too.

In my opinion the monitor has offers great graphics quality for the price, and it is also very light weight. The resolution refresh is high compare other brands and models, so I enjoyed using it. One thing I wish is for the manufacture to offer more color options.

Got this monitor for my daughter to use as I have the slightly larger one and have been very happy with it. I needed a smaller footprint for her desk since I am not ready to mount it on the wall yet so this fit exactly where I needed to set it up. Overall I have been happy with the monitor as I was expecting. I got it out the box and setup in less than 5 minutes with the help of my daughter. It came with all the cables needed, nice that they actually included not only the HDMI cable but also a Display Port cable as well. If you want to mount it you can get a wall mount and put it on the wall as well which is a nice option. Ran Forza 5 on Ultra Settings and it ran at a smooth and fluid 144 FPS without so much as a hiccup and looked gorgeous! My daughter plays a lot of Fortnite as well as Roblox but I just had to run Forza to check out the visuals and see how gorgeous it was. Pros: - Slim and sleek looking with minimal bezel - Includes all the cables you need including Display Port - Gorgeous visuals when hooked up via HDMI to my daughters laptop - IPS Screen with 165 Hz option for refresh rate - Wall mountable as an option - Small footprint on the desk Cons - Might be considered a little smaller by other gaming monitor standards Overall this is a great monitor and has a lot of features for the price. I have used and bought Asus products for over 20 years and have never been let down by their products.

Smooth gameplay with no delay whatsoever, would recommend for a budget gaming monitor.

Generally I gravitate to a 2k resolution on 27” monitors but for gaming this monitor makes a great case for a well priced high refresh 1080p monitor. The benefit derived is that you don’t have to have the highest end card to push this display and can still take advantage of the high refresh in things like competitive shooters and battle royales. Overall coloration and clarity is definitely well received as I didn’t notice anything that was off putting in either regard. Comparing this to a 60hz monitor I had next to it is like night and day when you realize how much easier it is to react in games. For overall productivity your pixel density is a little low but that’s why this monitor is specifically focused on gaming. This monitor also makes a great budget display for the Xbox or PlayStation as the high refresh rate keeps games smooth on both consoles even despite it not being 4K. My minor nitpick is that there’s no vertical adjustment as that’s pretty much a guaranteed necessity so I don’t crane my head downwards but it’s easily fixed using a riser or a mount considering the standard VESA setup. Overall a great purpose built monitor that provides the perfect setup on a budget.

I use it for console gaming, as part of my desktop setup. I use headphones, but it does have built in speakers that seem to work fine.

No complaints. Its nice and good Hz. Good if you want to game.

First monitor ever that got me to see that 165 Hz was better than the 60 that I was used to on console. Only issue is that it is not HDR.
