Pros: Good picture quality
Nice size
G-sync compatible Cons: Took about two weeks to actually get the chance to use these because they sent incompatible displayport cables with them. More detailed explanation below. Overall Review: I bought two of these monitors. Displayport didn’t work on either. I tried power cycling. Didn’t work. I tried updating display drivers. Didn’t work. I tried updating GPU drivers and changing GPU settings. Doesn’t help. GPU tests fine with other monitors via displayport out. I tried multiple makes of displayport cables. Didn’t initially help. I finally called Asus support as I heard that their monitors have power cycling and sleep issues. Their resolution? Return it. Really!? They didn’t even care to troubleshoot like they knew they sent a bad product.
UPDATE:
After all of this, I continued reading and found out that there is an issue with a majority of displayport cables and Asus monitors. Many non-VESA certified cables like the Honglin brand that come with these monitors are NOT VESA certified and have a 20th active pin. This pin allows current to travel back from the monitor to your graphics card and can cause a number of issues including damaged GPU, blue screens, and loss of signal to name a few. I tried Insignia and ivanky brand cables as well, but those have the same issues. The ONLY thing that worked for me were the Club3d brand cables I purchased specifically because they are VESA certified and do not have the 20th pin active. Once I plugged those cables in after two solid weeks of troubleshooting, I have had zero issues.
Please Asus, you know that the cables you send don’t work and can cause GPU damage. Inform your customers and at least send VESA certified cables with them, or don’t send cables at all!

Pros: -G-Sync Compatible
-IPS Panel
-165hz overclock
-Sensible button placement for OSD menu, they’re also physical and not touch buttons Cons: -OSD Menu could be expanded on. You can tweak the GameVisual presets but I wish they had just thrown in a “User” preset. At the moment I have tweaked “Racing Mode” to be my daily driver user mode.
-HDRn’t…. can we stop calling monitors with peak 300-350nits with no full dimming arrays HDR?
-ELMB Sync brightness does vary quite a bit in my testing so I chose to not use the feature. Overall Review: Overall this is a great monitor but do not get this for the “HDR”. If you’re in the market for a monitor that’s 1440p, IPS, 1ms, G-Sync Compatible and can hit 165hz, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal than this.

Pros: I love this thing! Big upgrade from a TN panel. Overall Review: I’m glade i picked this guy up.

Pros: Nice colors, clear image, good refresh rate. Cons: Dead pixels days after using the monitor, and when I noticed the first set and turned it off to try and see if it was dust, a new red stuck pixel appeared after turning it on.
Can’t replace it either as it’s sold out basically everywhere. Overall Review: I’d like to say the monitor meets my expectations, but that would be a lie. I contacted Newegg support and they couldn’t offer any solutions aside from a full refund which isn’t what i’m trying to do.
Guess i’ll have to live with this as it doesn’t meet ASUS’ own RMA policy for dead/stuck pixels too. Apparently it needs to have 5 or more dead pixels to count and mine is one cluster of them and a stuck red pixel.

Pros: Great price for 2k res and gsync/144hz/1ms rt.
Looks GREAT Cons: Nothing so far, I will update if needed.
Possibly the price but it’s worth it. Love this thing. Overall Review: This is so far the BEST price to performance 2k gaming monitor I’ve found. The acer predator and asus rog swift are both much more expensive for the IPS panels. I will update this review if anything happens but so far this thing is out of this world

Pros: -good resolution
-good refresh rate
-great overall look
-alot of features and settings to tinker with Cons: -possible dead pixels, just return it and make the problem clear to customer service and get a new monitor Overall Review: took me a couple of days of monitor shopping to finally pick one that was affordable and will be a good choice to use when I finally get my mitts on an RTX 3080, this monitor is a perfect in-between with a high refresh rate and picture quality, as well as a lot of cool features and settings such as blue light filter and different color settings to choose from, overall a good monitor.
One problem ran into was I noticed a couple of dead pixels on the first product I received, they were white specs when I had it displaying a black screen, the same day I received the product I was able to ship it back, I reached out to customer service and they shipped out, a couple of days later I got a new one and it was close perfect and what I was looking for.

Pros: 165 Hz
Affordable
2k
Great colors Cons: After about 6 months, I have to unplug the monitor and plug it back in every time I start my computer for it to register the signal. This is true for all 3 ports.
Chip in monitor can’t barely handle going through the menu options. Overall Review: Great for 6 months, sub-par after.

Overall Review: So far I bought one of these monitors and it has some clear issues with it upon powering on. Vertical lines on an entire half of the screen. I can still see the screen, but these lines persist through window changes / resolution / Hz changes. Which brings me to the second issue I was having. When it would come as a 60hz, and I attempted to change it to any other resolution I would start getting screen glitches where different parts of it would flicker on random spots of the screen. Forgot what I did, but that stopped actually. I would love to see an actual working display to give this a better review .. If anyone has any fixes, I would love to hear them.
