Reviews around picture (4.70 of 5)

  • I would say the picture is great and the monitor is very slick
  • but as i mentioned overall its a good monitor and the picture is good
  • Started losing the picture randomly; the screen goes completely black for a few seconds and then comes back
  • Instead, you have to adjust it on the monitor controls, risking accidentally changing the picture
  • I would definitely recommend this monitor for its beauty, great picture quality, and great features.

Reviews around price (4.62 of 5)

  • This is the most beautiful monitor i have ever seen, great price, great resolution.
  • To the Point: All in all this is an excellent product for a good price
  • Amazing price for the Brand name and quality of the monitor
  • A brilliant, crisp monitor with good sound at a reasonable price.
  • comment on it.just as classy and stylish as the mac monitor, without the silly price - ( or built in hub)one or two of the buttons are finicky, but i dont really use them much, other than the on/off which is super touch responsive.love the 2 x HDMI option.

Reviews around look (4.60 of 5)

  • so I wasted hours looking for manual and what it supposed to look like, at least
  • Nice and sturdy stand, although I don't like the bottom silver look it's something I can overlook for such a great looking monitor
  • Did not understand the complaints about buttons being sensitive, mine are not sensitive at all.5/5 Stand - though i HATE the look of it
  • It's mediocre at best, so if you're looking for a high quality sound, this is definitely not it
  • Every time, without fail, the monitor will go black, then do the static look like what you'd get in the old days, and you'd lose audio

Reviews around design (4.35 of 5)

  • But, I do really like the look/ design of the monitor and when the screen is bright the color quality is nice.
  • The monitor controls/buttons set a new standard for poor design
  • But what initially drew me to this monitor is how nice and simple the design is.
  • (I am not using this in a color-critical application, such as visual design).

Reviews around sound (3.51 of 5)

  • other than that i just disable the monitor sound and use my head phone
  • 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
  • The sound of the monitor on the other hand is a bit soft, it is not a sound that can be used as a replacement for your speakers, but it sounds good.
  • Again, if sound is important to you, please be aware that this monitor does not have a great set of speakers
  • Don't buy this expecting good sound out of the speakers.

Reviews around flicker issue (2.90 of 5)

  • This monitor has the best and deepest blacks I've ever seen
  • the monitor controls buttons are faulty they can not be used properly so i used third party program to control the brightness and contrast unfortunately asus does not provide any program for this monitor to control its settings,also the monitor have a flickering issues with display port i tried many kinds of display ports and the flickering problems is still
  • Amazon replaces the monitor, and the replacement item works perfectly with no flashing/flickering issues
  • 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
  • I've already got a flickering issue for more than 6 months, but it was getting back to the normal by itself,

Reviews around lack (2.44 of 5)

  • One notable drawback would be the lack of VESA mounting option
  • It can be considered as good as or even better than the 27UD88 one
  • I loved the lack of bezels and the overall quality of the monitor itself
  • The design is sleek and modern and looks just as good as the 4K images it can display
  • 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

Reviews around star (2.32 of 5)

  • 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
  • You think they would make it a easy non snap way to pop the back off where you install all your cabling
  • You'll be shocked and run as fast as you can to a different brand; i kinda wish I had but the saving grace is their hardware realy is pretty solid and perfoms very well
  • 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
  • I knocked a star off because after a few months I noticed a dead pixel in the top right

Reviews around bite (2.15 of 5)

  • The base should be more stable cause the screen shakes a bit too easy!
  • The stand was a bit tricky to set up, but the image and text quality are terrific
  • I bought two of these and both monitor wobble a bit left and right.
  • The monitor has a slight anti-glare coating that is nice to have, but it seems to smudge/soften the picture a bit
  • 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

Reviews around people (2.03 of 5)

  • But being an Senior IT Service Delivery Manager for years I can't stand by and let people buy something based on misleading information and poor if non-existent support.
  • 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.
  • go help the people pleading for help and frustrated on your and other IT forum sites about it.
  • I noticed some people had problems with detaching silver plate on lower edge, will be watching for it

Reviews around volume (1.85 of 5)

  • My complaint would be that the volume is a little awkward to handle and I haven't been able to set up the sound to work with the computer (might just be me, but my other monitor has great speakers so I honestly haven't tried very hard)
  • I am on a Mac and have dedicated volume buttons, which do not work with this monitor.
  • No distortion at volumes too uncomfortable for desktop use, but suitable to fill an entire large room with smooth sound
  • I had to buy an external speaker with an amplifier just to be able to hear anything at a reasonable volume
  • 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.

  • The monitor arrived with no dead pixel and minimum back light bleed
  • 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
