Reviews around option (4.59 of 5)
-
Highly recommend this monitor, best option at this price range.
-
this is the best and ultimate option for a Freesync monitor and general media consumption right now, and you'll be a very happy consumer when you get it.
-
so I've been trying the cheaper Acer option.
-
It has great input options, I like the ability to rotate and elevate the screen to my taste, also the Gaming mode that lets you monitor FPS is convenient and means not having to dedicated resources to software that does that
-
I like an option of cross aim which you can switch right on your monitor, this really helps in FPS games.

Reviews around picture (4.47 of 5)

Bad picture and not worth the price returned immediately
-
"Downgraded" from a Samsung 4K monitor, this ASUS has better picture quality, and is worlds better for gaming.
-
Amazing picture quality, 0 dead pixels, great resolution, and 144hz!
-
The picture is pretty stunning when running games that actually support 4K (I realize it's not "native" 4

Best overall picture, best menu structure, and great build quality

backlight bleed in the bottom right corner (This monitor would have been PERFECT if it wasn't for

First monitor had excessive and really weird opaque clouding all over the screen and blue light bleed in the bottom right corner

Very noticeable light bleeding up the entire right hand side of the monitor as well as the two other corners of the monitor

The monitor looked very good, but the it had a huge backlight bleeding on bottom right corner

The only problem was one "hot pixel" in the bottom right corner

Reviews around gaming (4.33 of 5)
-
This monitor is stylish, efficient, and just down right pure gaming gold
-
If you're thinking of buying this monitor for PS4 Pro, it does not support HDR gaming so buyer beware.
-
Great monitor, coupled with a GeForce 1070 video card it makes for some very nice 4k gaming
-
Other than that i think it's a perfect gaming monitor for FreeSync cards
-
you want a great PC gaming monitor you can spend less unless you're looking for 4k specifically but even then there are better options

Reviews around freesync (4.24 of 5)
-
Freesync makes your monitor refresh at the same rate as your GPU is putting out frames
-
For those of you worried about the limited Freesync refresh rate range of 35-90 Hz on this monitor, you have nothing to fear
-
If you are looking for the perfect FreeSync gaming monitor, then you will just have to wait a while longer for that to happen.
-
With any refresh rate above 90Hz (90 FPS) and FreeSync disables, revealing some screen tearing at times.
-
Freesync works very well on non-FPS game, and if you have a beast of a card like I do with the R9 295X2, you should limit your FPS to 90FPS on AMD Catalyst with freesync and overdrive enabled

Reviews around response (4.03 of 5)
-
This is a TN panel which has fast response times, but less color depth and accuracy and washes out at angles compared to an IPS display.
-
It's very, very, marginally, to the point of most likely indiscernible to the average enthusiast slower response time wise to the "premium branded" ROG Swift monitor all while having an IPS panel
-
The main issue I have with IPS panels is the slower response time ~10ms (even if they say 5ms is closer to 10ms) and "IPS
-
Fast response time, BEAUTIFUL graphics, and a real treat to use
-
After weeks of research I was finally able to settle on this monitor because asking for good color gamut, fast response and refresh time went upwards of $700

Reviews around sync (4.01 of 5)
-
Adaptive Sync isn't supported by Nvidia yet (although technically they can and that would potentially kill the g-sync)Overall: the MG279Q kills the deal for the most of red team players as it is currently the only IPS monitor that support freesync, and 144hz refresh rate
-
Best looking monitor I have seen, the adaptive sync is amazing but with my GTX
-
I'm not impressed with the Free-sync, it seems to be marginally, if any, better than Adaptive Sync
-
the next.heavy-duty matte coating sucks idk why it's sooo bad....you can see a distortion in the picture if you look close....it basically looks like a dirty piece of plastic slapped on your screen.other thoughts:the 144hz is nice and smooth and adaptive sync seems to work fine.

Reviews around display (3.91 of 5)
-
From what I understand, this layout is similar to ASUS' popular ROG SWIFT display
-
The display is quite beautiful to look at and games work extremely well
-
These monitors seem decently nice for gaming and video editing, but if you are going to use them for work tasks like word processing, excel and office tasks I feel the display is just not very sharp
-
The display and colors are all beautiful, I streamed some 4k videos with the Xbox One S and it also look amazing.

I got this monitor at a good discount from the Amazon Warehouse Deals, but even at the $350 full price this product is a steal
-
This is unfair that I am stuck with this lousy product that does not do what it is intended
-
That means they will not support any Apple products, nor any other product that does not have full size output ports.

I know it's not Amazon's fault however I would really emphasize that Amazon should reach out to Asus and shed some light on their terrible quality control so that customers do not have to suffer

Amazing color quality, and great response and refresh rate

This a very bad quality control, for the price of it they should have done a better job

Reviews around distortion (3.04 of 5)
-
One tip most people will probably know that a gaming setup is nothing without rgb LED’s, thus most people buy one to place behind monitor, if you are one of those people buy a usb LED light strip so it can connect to the monitor when it turns on and off when not receiving power, that way no grbabing rgb controller every time.

While many people are expressing concern over the FreeSync range, it really does take trying it out to be able to say "That actually looks and feels pretty good."You may be wondering why I returned the product, and here are my two reasons why: First, when flipping modes (say, from DisplayPort to HDMI, or from 90Hz to 144Hz), my monitor would create a vertical line of static-looking distortion on the left side and I would have to reseat my selected input's cable for it to go away
-
Again, I am a meticulous user and had trouble dealing with the input lag, but aside from that & my strange intermittent distortion issue there was nothing else I consider negative about this product

Reviews around stick (2.44 of 5)
-
No dead/stuck pixels or smudges, and only a small area of IPS glow at the top
-
It gives him a clear 4K picture and the lack of noticeable latency is amazing
-
Much to my surprise, this IPS panel didn't have any dead/stuck pixels.
-
This still makes monitor shopping terrifying as most companies will refuse to fix or refund before a certain number of dead/stuck pixels
-
Although, now both ubuntu and windows offer good scaling support for 4K and you can increase the font size to human range

Reviews around issue (2.25 of 5)
-
I could have probably lived with it if the monitor didn't have the flickering\blanking out issue, but either way it's pretty ridiculous to pay over 500 bucks for a monitor and get something that was already returned by someone else.
-
I've seen some botched monitors before, with dead pixel issues, but HALF MY SCREEN was just lines with contrast issues

Have not seen any tearing or other weird visual issues.

I'm not sure if the bad panel issue of the MG279Q will be the case with this model or not but the one I received had no issues at all, perfect out of the box.

Reviews around view angle (2.03 of 5)
-
Stay away from the BenQ TN 144Hz Freesync panel as I did tried both these monitors in store and the BenQ just doesn't have the vibrant color and great viewing angle that the MG279Q has.
-
The vertical viewing angle is not great, it's intended to be pointed directly at you
-
Transitioning from my old LCD 24" samsung, this thing blows it out of water in terms of picture quality, viewing angle, color representation and smoothness
-
Upgraded from my 1080p 144hz panel and i'm not disappointed its a premium product overall and colors still look fantastic, viewing angles are slightly above average for this type of panel.
-
No traditional problems associated with TN panels (limited viewing angles)

Reviews around motion blur (1.95 of 5)

A monitor close to perfection, only feature that is missing is motion blur

The Acer XB270HU has Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) and it works great!5

n’t work

Both do a decent job at countering motion blur, and in almost all games, you may not be able to tell a difference between the two, but if you play Rocket League (a game where objects and your camera are constantly in motion), you can tell a difference right away

I love this monitor, best one I

Reviews around bleed (1.82 of 5)
-
Backlight bleed will cast a yellow hue over the edges of the screen while IPS glow affects the luminance of the area, making the edges of the screen seem slightly brighter and almost a blue hue
-
No dead pixels, absolutely NO backlight bleed and the IPS glow is Very Very minimal.
-
Backlight bleed is acceptable, not the best I've seen but not the worst either

backlight bleed in the bottom right corner (This monitor would have been PERFECT if it wasn't for

Reviews around input lag (1.69 of 5)
-
Second, and this touches on my review title, is input lag
-
I bought this gaming monitor with my PS4 as well as with my pc
-
-Ultra Fast response time no noticeable input lag-Excellent stand with great adjust abilityCons:-TN panel washed out colors-Color and Gamma shifts with the bad viewing angles-Light bleeding around edges very distracting-Screen door effect when Freesync kicks in below 120hz (not sure if this is just an issue the monitor I received had)
-
The input lag is atrocious even at 4k 60fps+I haven’t used this monitor in over a year
-
I highly recommend the product to users who do not mind moderate input lag, or simply don't care, or to users who are just going to be driving it at 144Hz anyways

However, I had a lack luster experience with Freesync, bleeding light around the edges of the monitor and the LED glow in the center

Very noticeable light bleeding up the entire right hand side of the monitor as well as the two other corners of the monitor

This thing is near perfect, besides the mediocre back light bleed and the stuck pixel

This corner went away at first after doing a reboot of the monitor, so I was hopeful that it would be a manageable problem

I can't get over how great 4k is and the size is awesome, the response time is great, and the options for picture customization is also great, I have had no dead pixels or any problems with this

and it hurt my eyes with prolong usage.

Using any other monitor irritated my eyes after using for a few hours, that never happens with this one

Instead, I received the perfect monitor, no dead pixels, little to no IPS glow, and no backlight bleed.
