  • This monitor is 24" which is considered by avid gamers to be the "perfect" size as you can see edges of the screen without having to move your head too much
  • Perfect size for a 1080p monitor and the refresh rate really does make a difference in gaming
  • This monitor is an immaculate size, with an impeccable refresh rate and wide variety of colors
  • 144hz refresh rate is in my opinion a necessity and this monitor is a great size and great quality
  • The stand is a perfect size for my setup and is not overly bulky

Reviews around response (4.53 of 5)

  • It's really bright with great contrast and fast response

Reviews around product (4.06 of 5)

  • I would not recommend this product since Asus/Amazon can not guarantee that this product will properly work

Reviews around pixel (1.39 of 5)

  • First monitor was fine at first, but developed 2 stuck / bright pixels in the first day or 2
