Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m not *really* a hardcore PC gamer, so why did I get a gaming monitor? I use a curved monitor for my Mac Mini but have a big desk and occasionally do a bit of gaming in my computer chair (Xbox Series X). I thought that it would be fun to try out a “real” gaming monitor with fast refresh rates and all the bells and whistles. My curved monitor does 90hz but if I’m being honest, I was never able to tell the difference between 60hz and 90hz when I changed the refresh rate in Mac display settings. First thing you’ll notice is the monitor is way bulkier than other monitors. The stand cable management is nice to keep things neat and there are (2) HDMI inputs and a Display Port input along with a headphone jack. The speakers are fine for me - not as tinny as monitor speakers used to be but good enough for my Gen X ears. As for the performance. Wow. I don’t generally buy expensive monitors because a pixel is a pixel, right? The colors, the motion, the overall look of Elden Ring blew me away. I don’t know how to explain it but even the dark world of the Lands Between looked more saturated and cleaner than on my cheap curved monitor. I’m a bit annoyed now because I don’t really want to play on my 85” TV anymore… I remember the first time I saw OLED. Seeing Xbox a good monitor was a moment like that.

I think I am in love! Seriously, I sit in front of a monitor all day. Actually, at least 3 monitors for work and the real estate on this Asus 31.5" is awe inspiring. I was using 3 Asus VG246 at just under 24" display for each. Now I have this 31.5" sitting between 2 of them and it looks sweet. For gaming, I am a fan of flight sims so I tested it out with EA's Star Wars™ Squadrons game. I felt immersed into the game itself, not as well as using my VR setup, but nice for a quick game. The brightness and ease on the eyes works at just about any lighting level that I was able to throw at it from ambient lighting. The control panel menu is intuitive and easy to navigate with the buttons on the back. I have tested with both the Displayport and HDMI cables and my eyes are not seeing any difference. A word on using it for work. I am a hybrid employee and I much prefer using this screen at home than the dual 27 inch monitors at work. Using the three monitors and the work laptop, I can have multiple apps open at once, spreadsheets and emails. And I still have room to see the background. After 8+ hours in front of this screen, my eyes are not fatigued and I have no problem staying at the desk to play some games.

Perfect for gaming and everyday use, the ASUS VG32AQAY1A is a fantastic, cost effective monitor for all your PC or console gaming needs. Right out of the box the picture looks incredible. A few clicks of the large and easy to use settings buttons on the back of monitor, and I switched the monitor's GameVisual mode to RPG and loaded up Baldur's Gate 3 on my gaming laptop that has a NVIDIA GeForce RTX3060 card. The resolution, HDR performance, and response time are all incredible. The black levels and contrast in shadowed areas are incredible compared to my other relatively new 27-inch monitor that is way more expensive. At times it feels like I'm playing a different game as this monitor handles the picture amazingly with super smooth motion. The noticeable dips in framerate are no longer apparent. I'm not sure why this monitor has speakers. I doubt anyone will use them, but if you are planning to, do not expect even decent sound. A few other notes: there is zero glare on this monitor, it gets very bright, and the stand is easy to attach and is not an eyesore. I cannot recommend this monitor enough for those looking for a solid flat gaming monitor.

The Asus TUF 32-inch gaming monitor is a high-quality monitor that is significantly cheaper compared to others in its quality range, it’s amazing for what the price is. I expected to get something of lower quality at this price point, but I can say for sure that this is a very high-end monitor at a very reasonable low price. The Asus TUF monitor has a 32-inch-high quality display that allowed me to see a decent amount of detail while gaming compared to the previous FHD (1080P) monitor I had. I can really see the quality of the games that I played on this Asus monitor, compared to my old main monitor it has a lot more quality wise and I plan on using this for my games mostly, at first with the dull color it was a bit hard to use for me but as I used it more for gaming I got used to the color and I can now see that giving it a chance was worth it. Im sure that there’s a way to make the color better if you tinker with the settings a bit, but for me I was unable to find something that fit my preference in color. The size of this monitor is genuinely too good for the price. The monitor combines everything a gamer needs all in one package, efficiency, quality, performance, and everything in between. With it’s built in AMD Free Sync Premium, it allows for a smoother feeling to your play as it eliminates input latency, screen tearing, and stuttering which for gamers means a lot in performance, especially with its nice 170hz nothing can beat it, you get high quality smooth picture and great performance, what else can you ask for. Even price wise it’s perfect. More expensive monitors don’t come with all the fancy stuff like AMD Free Sync, I’ve been personally using it for about a week now and I’ve been loving it, whether I’m watching videos or playing games it kept up its quality throughout, I haven't seen any screen tearing nor any jumps in frames. The packaging was very secure, and the cables were packaged very well, each in their own bag while the monitor itself was safely packaged with foam. It comes with a DisplayPort cable, power cable, and a stand. along with the tools needed to put it together, which is the usual for monitors but the way the stand it set up is super sturdy and the stand itself is really high quality, you can tell that it was not cheaply made, they made it easy to put together and assemble and you never once have to wonder it the monitor will fall off because I can tell you now that it isn’t coming off. The stand itself is sleek and very well made and the setting up for the monitor was very simple and easy to do, it came with a manual for setting up software-wise as well as a booklet for putting the monitor itself together. Everything was very easy to read and understand, the monitor is practically plug and play with how easy this was to put together. The DisplayPort cable that comes with the monitor allows for better connection than a normal HDMI cable so say goodbye to that input lag especially with Free Sync enabled whatever you click will show instantly, most new systems will mostly use DisplayPort too so it’s perfect whether you have a new or old system. I would recommend this to someone who plays video games and wants quality in their gameplay. It's perfect for staying immersed with the size, 170hz and quality. For someone just casually using this for work and general use, it works fine of course, the price is fair, the quality is extremely high, and you get what you pay for and more. This will become my main monitor for everyday use and gaming. It’s hard to find something with this quality for the amazing price it is listed at, I can say that this is a perfect all-around monitor for anyone. Pros: pixel-perfect quality, great size, perfect price, no screen tearing, perfectly packaged, booklets were easy to understand for setting up, sleek design, very well built, sturdy, smooth gameplay, no input lag, reputable company in general Cons: literally just the fact that the colors are a bit dull, no other complaints at all about this monitor.

I bought and returned 4 monitors before this one. I definitely recommend it. Picture quality is amazing.
