ASUS ROG Strix 32” HDMI 2.1 DSC Gaming Monitor (XG32UQ) - 4K UHD (3840 x 2160), Fast IPS, 160Hz, 1ms, G-SYNC compatible, FreeSync Premium Pro, DisplayPort, USB, DisplayHDR600, Variable Overdrive

I have a laptop that I recently wanted to start using an external monitor for and this one won my purchase. It looks absolutely amazing, no screen bleed, no ghosting. I use the default settings and have been running games flawlessly with no frame drops. I love it and absolutely recommend. For the size, price, and quality this is a win!

Coming from a 1440 screen, Wow!The games look completely new at 4K. My 4080 super and 13900ks(got one that works at 6100 and 5700 gaming full time averaging 42° with Artic Freezer 3 280 AIO) works smooth at 160hz... it's Gsync compatible but don't need it on-lol... This screen was great condition, no problems and much of peal-wrap still on, like new.It does have a bit of ips screen light bleed, in black caves or dark zombie tunnels, but 99.5% of gaming looks Unreal! Although my next screen will probably be a 240hz OLED, when the prices drop.

This is a very good monitor for editing, though like all monitors it has a few quirks. As a gaming monitor I can understand why they put the power indicator LED facing downward, but that makes it completely useless in a well-lit room. With my AMD Radeon graphics card using display port I had to disable ULPS [used Afterburner] so the monitor would wake from sleep – YMMV. Not all the settings are available for every mode and setting individual RGB levels is only available using the Asus Display Widget Lite software, and then only in 3 of the modes. The monitor’s settings let you save favorites or presets, but that does not save those RGB adjustments. The Widget software hangs “Loading” if you have the monitor set to User mode, and it has a bug: if you change the OD level or amount, it will change the monitor settings according to the monitor’s settings menu, but when you run the software again it will always show 100%. The Widget software does not show an option for HDR, and it’s grayed out in the monitor’s settings menu until you enable it in Windows 10 Settings. Oddly, the Asus web site does not offer the Display Widget Lite download for this monitor with the height adjustable stand – no idea why or if it’ll work with that model.Windows 10 automatically sets scaling at 150%, which is fine for most of the apps I run, but I also increased the text size [under Settings -> Ease of Access] to 120. *For me*, reducing the monitor’s VividPixel from 60 to 40 improved text legibility. Using a SpyderX Pro calibrator & software I can only get 98% sRGB, though again YMMV, and setting RGB levels individually helped overall, though it didn’t affect that 98%. I wound up with Brightness = 51, Red = 70, Green = 67, & Blue = 71 -- YMMV. The gamma curve is close, but there are competitively priced monitors that do better. Setting the monitor to sRGB mode I get the same 98% coverage, but you can’t adjust anything in that mode, and the brightness was measured at 167.8 cd/m^2 – the software recommends 120 cd/m^2, which matches what I print, while 167.8 is too bright and does not match well at all. [You may or may not ever print anything, but I think that 120 is sort of a standard offering the greatest compatibility, so everyone else sees what you see, which is important for editing.]

Got this monitor in on the 26th of December and so far every game I played on it is crisp and stands out, I have a 3070 graphics and a ps5, needless to say the picture is clear and vivid. Monitor has many options and the brightness is a little much when put on full for my opinion but when fine tuned it perfect. Not only is it great for games I am also a student I I tend to work a lot at home and so far so good. Text is clear as day so I’m not straining my eyes to read and moving apps or windows between screens is effortless and does cause it to have an aneurism, second screen is a 75hz 1080p LG so big upgrade. Would definitely buy again. Will update later since I practically got the damn thing.

I'm switching from 2021 Sam sung 4k 28" monitors that both failed right after the warranty expired. I've always had good luck with Asus products, so I chose to go back to Asus on my monitors as well. No regrets with buying two of these to replace them! 1st improvement is that these do not have wall warts or power supply bricks, so cabling was a breeze with the standard PC 3-pin power cables. 2nd feature I like is the super thin, almost frameless design. While the viewable size isn't the size of the actual display when off, it adds for a sleek look, especially when running two side-by-side. The image quality is excellent, brightness is good, and response time is perfect. I have a gaming PC connected to both, A PS5 to one, and a Raspberry Pi 4 and MS Surface connected to the other. The monitors transition seamlessly from one input to the other as things are powered on.. a feature with my Sam sungs that was a pain because I had to cycle inputs manually behind the monitors. The stand has 4 screws holding it in that can be used for the VESA mounting which is a great design. Last but not least, these have a gaming mode.. so playing hardcore in COD, the displays have a customizable and adjustable on-screen sight to assist. Love it!
