Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great balance of performance and graphics. Most games aren't 4k so streamlining 2k settings from your ps5 through a 240hz 48 hdmi to this monitor with hdr off is chrisp. The colors are vibrant and the va panels are easy on the eyes. Haven't seen and ghosting or stuttering at all and build feels solid. I'm picking up another one during black Friday for editing at full price cause it's that good. I know there are better monitors out there but this is the perfect balance for me at 2k 120hz gaming and editing.

Perfect budget machine. I am currently setup with my home office laptops, Xbox series X, Switch, and retro consoles. It handles everything like a dream, auto switches to HDR and even has gaming centered bonus options in the settings. Quick notes for the gamers: 1080 / 1440P 120 htz capable, HDR-10 capable, has speakers ++, 2 HDMI ports with auto-detect, Variable refresh rate capable. Looks good, sounds ok, good deal for the wallet.

I work in Virtual Design and I think this monitor is perfect for that kind of work. The size is just right and the picture is great for the price. Easy setup and nice features like the blue light adjust setting and for gaming I think this is good enough for me. Best monitor if you’re on a budget.

I picked up this monitor with a Xbox series X, For the price, I have to say this is an amazing monitor, very durable and gaming experience has been perfect..WQHD 120hz (2560x 1440) is perfect for the Xbox. Nothing but amazing!! I highly recommend this monitor.

Much better than my acer monitor. Though 31.5 is a bit big at times when playing shooter games.

Great picture quality, no tearing while I game, and love being able to record in widescreen! Monitor came with hdmi and display port cables included!

excellent monitor looks amazing and is great for high quality gaming

Really recommend this monitor for gaming really good graphics glad it has speakers works really well with my ps5 and pc and live the size

Very awesome monitor, i use it everyday to play games at 2k resolution!

It’s good graphic and good quality look at game playing graphic not bad 170hz and no issue

This is an absolutely amazing gaming monitor. My partner pointed it out to me while we were shopping at Best Buy as I was looking for a new monitor and I hadnt considered this one. But i'm glad she did

While this monitor is not a 4K resolution monitor, it is still visually stunning at 2K (2160x1440p at 16:9 aspect ratio) with its HDR capability and the excellent VA panel present here. The size is excellent and is going to become part of a dual monitor setup, paired with my older 24” 1440p panel, for increased productivity for work and school while enjoying gaming and occasional Twitch streaming. This 31.5” monitor is overclockable up from 165hz to 170hz refresh and has a quick response time of 1ms. In my use case, this monitor is perfect for 1440p gaming on my 3060 GPU-equipped desktop PC and provides an excellent first-person shooter experience. I have used this monitor with BattleBit Remastered, Hunt Showdown, Rocket League, Doom Eternal, and Witcher 3 and have enjoyed stunning visual fidelity and performance in all these experiences! One aspect of this monitor that should be noted is that it lacks HDMI 2.1 connectivity, but this is honestly fine for a 2K resolution monitor as you can still achieve 1440p@120Hz just fine. I specifically used this with the included Display Port cable in the setting of PC gaming on an ASUS ROG Gaming Desktop with an Intel Core i7-13700F, 16GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, and this pairing is honestly a match made in heaven! Especially with current sales, you could have a full 1440p high refresh rate gaming setup with this 31.5-inch monitor, all from ASUS (if brand loyalty or preference is a factor for you), for less than $1600! That is incredible and was unheard of 5 years ago. I have noted a couple of things about this monitor that I want to share. First, the included stand is tiltable and directionally pivots, but there is no height adjustment. On my 28-inch-tall desk, this monitor feels ever so slightly low for my postural comfort, and I am not a tall guy in my office chair. So, if you are concerned with ergonomics and comfort over a long day of use, you may want to go ahead and consider a Vesa mounting arm for this monitor. Just make sure it is compatible with a large 31” monitor as many of the common ones on Amazon are limited to 27” size monitors. Another thing that I wanted to share is the 170hz overclockable refresh rate. That setting is found in the menu of the monitor itself if you want to select to turn it on. However, the monitor is 165hz at its baseline and for me, that is plenty fast for even my most frenetic FPS shooters like BattleBit Remastered and Doom Eternal. I found that when I chose to overclock the monitor, I noticed some flickering and tearing happening on the previously listed games, so I decided to turn off the panel refresh rate overclock and be content with 165hz. Since then, I have had no discernable flickering of the monitor. On the note of refresh rate etc. this monitor is AMD freesync compatible but is not yet supported for NVidia G-Sync. I look forward to the day when/if it finally is G-Sync supported because I have always been one who has noticed frame rate drops while gaming and G-sync on my other monitor has always smoothed things out. I hope these couple of details are helpful for you! The TUF series of products from Asus have always stood out to me as some of the best in the gaming business for dollar-to-performance ratio if you are not overly concerned with certain creature comforts like a height adjustable stand coming right out of the box. Thanks for reading and good luck with your purchase decision!

Best monitor ever for the price. Love the display.

This ASUS 32.5 inch WQHD gaming monitor is an excellent choice for anyone that wants a large, colorful display for gaming, but does not want to spend a lot of money. The overall image quality is excellent, and the high refresh rate of up to 170 Hz, makes it ideal for PC gaming. So not only is this monitor great for gaming, but it's specs also make it a great choice for general computing functions. For me the most important aspect of a monitor is the image quality. If the image quality is lacking then nothing else really matters. Thankfully I found the overall image quality of this monitor to be superb. I tested it with a variety of content and found the colors to be accurate, rich, and vibrant. Contrast is likewise excellent. I have used many monitors over the years, and think this monitor hits the sweet spot for cost vs picture quality. Arguably, the most important feature of a gaming monitor after image quality is refresh rate. The refresh rate of this monitor is up to 170 Hz. As with resolution, the refresh rate depends on the video card capability. I tested this monitor with Starfield at the maximum resolution of 144 Hz that my NVIDIA game card is capable of and found the gameplay to be smooth, fast, and flicker free. The monitor resolution is 1440p or WQHD, which stands for wide quad high definition. The display resolution of WQHD measures 2560 x 1440 pixels. WQHD is sometimes referred to as 2K. The ability to game at this 1440p resolution is of course controlled by your video card capability. I myself only game at the 1080P resolution because I think that the hit on processing power is not worth the increase in resolution. This monitor is HDR certified and capable. I did not test this function as I find the HDR standard for PC’s to usually look unnatural and actually worse than SDR. This may be because most games are not properly optimized for HDR. image One limitation of this monitor is that I found it to be incompatible with the video output of some of the Hubs that I tested it with. This is because this monitor has a minimum refresh rate of 59.95 Hz, and many Hubs output video at a maximum of 30 Hz. So while it can receive a 30 Hz signal, the image flickers in and out frequently. Of course this problem is completely solved by feeding the video directly from your PC to the monitor. Likewise it worked perfectly with a Thunderbolt 4 Hub that I recently acquired. The Thunderbolt 4 standard is compatible with refresh rates of 30-240Hz, dependent on the resolution output. This monitor is equipped with 1 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort input. This should be adequate for most users. There are 2 internal speakers that are rated at 2W’s each. The sound they produce is best described as weak and thin, so a pair of quality headphones or an external speaker is highly recommended. There is a standard audio jack that can be used for headphones or speakers. The monitor tilt can be adjusted but height adjustment is not possible. I may look into getting a monitor stand but it would need to be wide enough to accommodate the width of the monitor legs. This monitor is now my primary gaming monitor. It pairs perfectly with my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G 14. I like it so much that it will also be my primary PC video watching monitor because I enjoy the 31.5 screen size over the dual 27 inch monitors that I have in my primary workstation.

The ASUS TUF 31.5 inch LED monitor is probably one of the best monitors for gaming. It comes with a simple setup guide that requires a screwdriver. It comes with a stand that has the ability to change the angle of the monitor but doesn't have the ability to change the height of the monitor to be higher or lower so if you want that feature you'll have to buy another stand. The monitor comes with a display port cable but it also has a HDMI port so if you prefer HDMI you can use a HDMI cable instead. The monitor has a 2560x1440 resolution with a 165 Hz display but you can change it to a 170 Hz in the settings. Also to open the settings you use the buttons on the back or the thumbstick to navigate the settings where there are 6 menus: gaming, image, color, input selection, my favorite, and finally system setup. The gaming menu lets you change the Hz to 170 instead with the overclocking option, variable OD which is the motion blur level, and free sync premium which is great to use on graphical heavy games, game plus where you can enable timers, cross hairs and fps counters, and finally game visuals where you can change it to modes that are better suited for racing games fps games and any games genres you play. The image menu and color menu lets you change the brightness of the Monitor, contrast, and saturation vivid pixel that makes the pixel more vibrant. ASCR that changes the brightness depending on what is happening on the picture the color menu lets you choose the color that is more prominent like cool for blues and warm for reds. Input selection changes the input between the display port and HDMI. My favorites lets you create shortcuts to a setting you'll change constantly. System setup lets you change the language, sound, power indicator, Power settings OSD setup which lets you change the transparency position and timeout of the settings,where you navigate the menus, also the information of the monitor and all reset which resets all the settings to the standard. the monitor actually comes with speakers that although being a cool addition, aren't very the best they are definitely usable just that you'll probably would want to switch to headphones or better speakers instead The monitor is great to use as your main monitor for gaming especially the size which is neither too big or too small which is great for competitive gameplay that lets you easily see everything on the sides and great picture quality for more cinematic games and the high frame rate of 170 is great for games since it gives you a more smoother experience. The color is vibrant and bright with the proper settings. The price is well worth it for budget setups since the monitor is well priced at $330. The monitor is well worth the price since you can use it for PC setups and console setups like a PS5 desk setup or xbox setup or whatever console you play. There is great accessibility and customization settings. HDR is able to be used which looks great. The monitor is a must have for any budget setup and great for multiple monitors since it's pretty big which is great for desktops since it adds a great amount of space for your desktop and simply just great for gaming and visuals. It's the best priced with the amount of features and quality. The monitor is a must have if you need a bigger and faster monitor.

Highly recommend, great monitors. Perfect for having many windows open when work from home

Not a bad purchase for the price. I bought it for my ps5 so a lot of features aren’t available at max setting.

Great looking monitor had to give it a 1 start because ----- It did not last no more than 10 minutes after hooking it up. The screen was Crisp and Had a sharp image .When I went out of the room I came back in, It was off, I turned it back on and this is what I encountered with the monitor, I tried different cables laptops and desktops.....nothing I did changed its outcome.......look at the video!!!!!! I'm guessing I got a monitor out of a bad batch ( Good thing Best Buy allow me to return it. Just think, being on a Fix income would have suck if I couldn't return it back. For refund.) And hopefully it is a bad batch is the case/ .. Asus QC , You can do better then this --- I've been dealing with this company for the last 30 years. And I've only had to send back one motherboard. Any other time I would be giving Asus products a 5 star review.

I am coming from a 25” gaming monitor and I have to say the size difference between that and this 31.5” ASUS TUF FreeSync Gaming monitor is substantial. At first, I didn’t think it would be that much of a difference, but then the box showed up at my door and I was floored. This thing is about the biggest monitor that I can fit comfortably on my desk, and it looks perfect! I am very impressed with the over all design, color, brightness, and although it has a slower refresh rate (170 Hz compared to my 244 Hz), it still does very well. The 1 ms response time is another great feature of this monitor and 2560 x 1440 resolution is a step up from my 1080p monitor from before. This is not a 4K monitor, but I really don’t have a video card that can play games that well in 4K, so I am not worried about that. The monitor has a very reasonable price, and they did not include a couple of features that I like to have on my monitors. First, the base that is included doesn’t allow for vertical movement, only allows you to angle the monitor. My next complaint is the lace of USB ports on the monitor. They did include some speakers built into the screen, but they are pretty much worthless. The volume is so low on them, you cannot hear them unless you are in a quite room and even then, it is hard to hear. I really wish they could have left out the speakers and given us the USB ports and adjustable mount. You can mount this monitor on a wall if you want using a VESA compatible stand. ASUS really went out of their way when they created the software and adjustment for this monitor. First off, the buttons are big and easy to use along with a joystick style button on the back. There are so many options and preset viewing profiles (nigh vision mode!) that you will have to play around with them to see what you like. Combine all that with the 3-year warranty and it just makes this monitor a great deal with only a couple of draw backs (lack of USB).

Very nice high quality monitor very clear. Also very heavy duty and easy to setup
