Reviews around picture (4.70 of 5)

  • I would say the picture is great and the monitor is very slick
  • But the picture is amazing, so is physical look of the monitor.
  • With outdated display connectors, punishing hardware requirements, and lack of os and app support besides netflix and prime that can stream 4k. && the picture sometimes appear grainy while the 4k is trying to push the 1080p and 60hz
  • The picture is stunning, with abundant adjustments available to tune it to your liking.
  • Instead, you have to adjust it on the monitor controls, risking accidentally changing the picture

Reviews around resolution (4.38 of 5)

  • Great looking monitor, low profile, beautiful colors and resolution
  • The housing of the monitor may be well made, but the resolution is terrible
  • You could at most get half of this resolution and strange resolution issues using the LG one with similar connection type
  • Monitor is amazing, great resolution, and connected easily to my iMac
  • And the 1440 resolution is insane everything is just so clean and sharp, the built in audio is a plus, since not all monitor have built in audio

Reviews around display (4.31 of 5)

  • For an office it's perfect, but if you're gonna be watching a movie or gaming with this monitor the volume when using the audio out leaves much to be desired, that being said I can't recommend this monitor enough for what you're buying it for, the display.
  • I had been using my laptop's pitiful display in the office and decided to give this bad boy a try
  • Great display, good sound, easy hook-up, what more do you want!
  • The monitor had a gorgeous display that output beautiful colors
  • Been using this display for over a year, so far, no problems, less eye strain.

Reviews around screen (3.93 of 5)

  • To be fair, the screen is very clear and has been reliable.
  • Great screen, I just love it, no problems at all with this screen.
  • Screen is Flawless and works great and is bright and vivid
  • And now I guess I’ve ruined my screen, right out of the box

  • Amazon was awesome to work with, but I don't recommend the product.

Reviews around sound (3.55 of 5)

  • Screen not as clear as hoped and monitor sound pretty disappointing.

  • other than that i just disable the monitor sound and use my head phone
  • A brilliant, crisp monitor with good sound at a reasonable price.
  • The audio controls from the mac do not work on these so I simply turn the sound off when using the monitor with a mac

Reviews around flicker issue (2.90 of 5)

  • Works fine on the 15" (different graphics card), but there is some incompatibility with the 13" over usb-c
  • The design is sleek and modern and looks just as good as the 4K images it can display
  • I've already got a flickering issue for more than 6 months, but it was getting back to the normal by itself,
  • This monitor has the best and deepest blacks I've ever seen
  • Very bad button location/sensitivity - a possible work around would be to get a separate HDMI selector and use that instead - which I strong recommend if your going to use different inputs.2

Reviews around lack (2.44 of 5)

  • I also received a sound bar as a gift and not being able to place them under the monitor due to the limited adjustability of the stand and the lack of a VESA mount seriously limited my options
  • I use it with a macbook pro 15 inch and it seems to be just as good as if i was using a thunderbolt display from apple
  • One notable drawback would be the lack of VESA mounting option
  • The singular flaw with this monitor is the lack of a VESA-compatible mounting option.
  • Good monitor but the lack of a VESA mount makes Asus not a consideration in the future.

Reviews around star (2.32 of 5)

  • The LED LCD has almost zero ghosting and is plenty fast enough for everyday use as well as for gaming with its 4 MS time
  • In the end, the display is so good that I don't even need to adjust it, so the settings difficulties only take off one star
  • I still give it 3 stars because we do really love the design of these particular monitors, overall.
  • Text isn't quite as sharp as on my 24" lcd monitor, but it isn't so bad that you couldn't use this as a primary monitor, in my opinion
  • Despite the positive experience, I'm giving it a 1 star, because they died (IMHO too soon).

Reviews around review (2.28 of 5)

  • don't listen to the fake reviews that say it sucks this monitor
  • This monitor has the best and deepest blacks I've ever seen
  • I feel like I need to balance out the overwhelmingly positive reviews on this monitor because people should definitely be aware of some of the issues with this monitor
  • It seem like a lot of the people giving bad reviews bought a used/refurbished one, so that may have been the problem
  • I risked buying this because I generally like Asus and often negative reviews (one star) are vague or useless, but there were a lot of one stars and a lot of them were specific

Reviews around bite (2.15 of 5)

  • I was aware of the IPS glow problem of the ASUS monitors and a bit of IPS glow issue I noticed on the monitor was tolerable
  • Noticeable, definitely, but after a couple days my first monitor toned the glow down a little bit
  • I bought two of these and both monitor wobble a bit left and right.
  • The base should be more stable cause the screen shakes a bit too easy!
  • The monitor has a slight anti-glare coating that is nice to have, but it seems to smudge/soften the picture a bit

Reviews around eye strain (2.14 of 5)

  • I actually downgraded from a 32" TV monitor, however the TV was only 720p and seeing every individual pixel from 2 feet away was giving me serious eye strain
  • I use it with a macbook pro 15 inch and it seems to be just as good as if i was using a thunderbolt display from apple
  • Text isn't quite as sharp as on my 24" lcd monitor, but it isn't so bad that you couldn't use this as a primary monitor, in my opinion
  • It can be considered as good as or even better than the 27UD88 one

Reviews around people (2.03 of 5)

  • People complain about them because the touch-sensitive design is not something that we are used to, but I think it's pretty innovative design, but I don't mind either way
  • I noticed some people had problems with detaching silver plate on lower edge, will be watching for it
  • go help the people pleading for help and frustrated on your and other IT forum sites about it.
  • Well, I have to say, I just unboxed this and hooked it up, it's certainly nicer than the Asus 248H-P that it's replacing
  • Now that the monitor has been set up to the way I like it, using it is a daily pleasure and it feels like I have a new PC.I've read in some other reviews that some people are concerned that this monitor doesn't support VESA mounting.

Reviews around input lag (1.95 of 5)

  • This monitor has the best and deepest blacks I've ever seen

  • If you are looking for a 27 inch IPS with a very low input lag for your PS4, Xbox One or PC, than this is it.

Reviews around volume (1.85 of 5)

  • Some may not like the low volume of the internal speakers but this is not an issue for me as I use professional studio monitors.
  • Looks great, wonderful picture, volume is good for the sound but do not expect any great quality, they are small speakers after all and do as good of a job as they can.
  • I am on a Mac and have dedicated volume buttons, which do not work with this monitor.
  • it only draws a few watts of power, so the volume is limited.
  • No distortion at volumes too uncomfortable for desktop use, but suitable to fill an entire large room with smooth sound

Reviews around bleed (1.75 of 5)

  • My monitor, right out of the box had severe backlight bleeding
  • The first monitor I received had a significant backlight bleed near the bottom right bezel on top of the 2nd control button from the left and also had a dead pixel near the top 1/3 left of the screen
  • The monitor arrived with no dead pixel and minimum back light bleed
  • The monitor itself is beautiful and has a broad range of colors without over-saturating anything, but if there is one complaint I have, it's that the backlight bleed is more prominent than I expected and the viewing angle doesn't seem as good as my last IPS monitor, especially when it comes to the vertical axis
  • while i should have guessed, a 700$ TN panel, in my case, outperformed this IPS in both speed, and color, and the LED bleed on this is really bad
