It is absolutely astonishing how good this monitor is for the price. If your considering buying it just go for it, don't think twice, you will not be disappointed. Good color accuracy, incredibly high build quality, versatile settings & customization, very smart cable management, built in phone stand. It's already a great monitor without even taking the dual mode into consideration. The dual refresh rate & resolution is a massive bonus for this price range. The only thing I wish was slightly better was higher brightness for a more meaningful HDR experience. But this is not a big problem as long as your not buying exclusively for HDR functionality. Overall I'd give this monitor a 9/10 for the price. Would be 10/10 if it was HDR 600 or higher. Read more

I used a Samsung 27-inch monitor for the past 18 years, and while it was great, it maxed out at 1920x1080 at 60Hz. That was fine for its time, but with my new computer build, I wanted to get more out of my monitor. Initially, I was skeptical about how much of a difference a higher refresh rate would make. We’ve all heard the claim that the human eye can’t perceive anything beyond 30 FPS or 30Hz, but the real proof is in the experience. While the eye might not technically "see" the difference, you can definitely feel it—especially when it comes to reduced eye fatigue and smoother gameplay. A higher refresh rate helps today’s more powerful video cards eliminate screen tearing, and the improved resolution is incredible in terms of visual quality. I was hesitant about spending more on my gaming setup, but I can confidently say it was worth every penny. It truly unleashed the full potential of my new computer. I didn’t realize how much my old monitor was limiting my experience until I made the switch. If anything happened to my ASUS ROG Strix monitor, I’d definitely buy it again. And as a bonus, the white version looks super sharp next to my all-white build in the Corsair 4000X RGB Mid Tower case. Read more

Gotta write a review on this product. Many of the so-called "features" are slightly gimped, but you get what you pay for. Where to start? First of all, I didn't buy this monitor for its dual switching 4k to 1080p mode. I bought it as an entry to 4k gaming. What I expected was a monitor that could push 160hz at 4k with low(ish) latency characteristic of IPS, and that is kind of what I got. 160hz technically is doable, but with an Nvidia graphics card, only over displayport 1.4a, and only after using the Nvidia app. Otherwise windows simply will not recognize 160hz as a supported refresh rate. It will lower the resolution to 1440p. The HDMI 2.1 port is gimped to 120hz (Asus says 144hz, but I couldn't get that much). Why? HDMI 2.1 has more bandwidth than displayport 1.4, and I bought a new cable just to get the most out of it. That's strike number 1. Additionally, many of the options that come with this monitor are greyed out and inaccessible when you start to tinker with other settings. I hope you like "racing mode," because you are going to be stuck on that if you want to use blue light filter. Want to use "dynamic dimming," say goodbye to ELMB (which I couldn't set up properly anyways). Want to adjust the gamma, don't try to use HDR, buddy! Hah! I had a top-of-the line ROG monitor from 2015ish. At the time it was the pinnacle, or close to it, of monitor technology. A 1440p, IPS panel that could turbo to 144hz with 5 ms response. The specs of this monitor are way better than that one, yet it feels like a downgrade. It is, to be fair, half the price, so it is a downgrade really. I think there is something profound to say here about how advances in technologically don't equate to advances in quality or value. By the way, this monitor does not possess a "real" HDR rating...it's vesa400 or something like that, and windows recognizes that. You can, with the help of the Nvidia control panel, bump the color up to 10-bit over displayport and turn on HDR in windows, so technically I guess it could be called 4k, 160hz in HDR...but only in a stretching-the-truth sorta way. My advice...for a couple hundred more bucks, an HDR certified monitor will provide better value...This is a case of you get what you pay for. It's no great deal, in my opinion. Also, amazon knocked an additional 15% off of the price the day after I bought it. Thanks Amazon! Looks like customers aren't buying it. They must have seen the writing on the wall. Read more

1. If your computer can’t run on that much frames or hz then don’t expect it to. The monitor can’t change how powerful the computer is but, if your computer can handle it then it should be able to with this monitor if not then it can’t. Why I like this monitor? The color matches my desk setup as well as the stand, it has all of my favorite colors; black, white, red, LED & it’s adjustable, has a spot for my fancy phone as well. This is just what I wanted and needed. It’s also, the same company as my motherboard. Read more

Overall good product. HDR in black background is acceptable. Cannot ask too much for edge-lit. Delivery is faster than expected. Read more
