Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Motion Clarity: The native 300Hz refresh rate and ELMB mode provide incredibly fluid motion and responsiveness, which users find superior for fast-paced competitive gaming compared to lower refresh rate displays.
  • Vibrant and Accurate Colors: Reviews frequently highlight the excellent out-of-the-box color calibration and vibrancy, with many users considering it one of the best non-OLED IPS panels for both gaming and productivity.
  • Robust Ergonomic Stand: The monitor features a high-quality stand that allows for extensive adjustments, including height, tilt, swivel, and rotation, providing a comfortable and customizable setup.

Cons

  • Frequent Quality Control Issues: A significant number of reviewers reported receiving units with dead or stuck pixels, as well as noticeable backlight bleed and IPS glow in the corners of the panel.
  • Poor Long-Term Reliability: Multiple users experienced total hardware failure, where the monitor stopped powering on or displaying images after only a few weeks or months of use.
  • Inconvenient Stand Design: The stand's rear stabilizing leg is criticized for pushing the monitor too far forward on the desk, and the large footprint can be intrusive for users with limited desk space.

  2. Crystal Clear Gaming Bliss—Exceptional Color and Speed!

    I purchased the TWO ASUS ROG Strix 27” gaming monitors to complement my new graphics card, and they did not disappoint. The 1440P resolution paired with a high refresh rate has transformed my gaming sessions entirely. Visuals are sharp, colors pop vibrantly, and the responsiveness during gameplay is incredibly smooth.

    Setup was simple, with easily adjustable height, tilt, and swivel settings allowing the perfect ergonomic fit. The monitor also looks fantastic aesthetically—sleek and modern, enhancing my desk’s overall appearance. Eye strain has noticeably decreased thanks to the integrated eye-care features.

    Overall, this monitor delivers everything promised and more. Whether gaming, watching movies, or multitasking, it performs exceptionally across the board. Easily one of the best purchases I’ve made this year—worth every cent!

    Absolutely gorgeous monitor, the colors and and detail are like none other had a different brand but this one blows it out of the water! Highly recommend, if you are able to afford don’t be afraid to get a larger size.

  4. Great value for $399

    Great for the price. $399 for a 300hz 1440p is a good deal imo. I strayed away from OLED because I do office work as well as play games on my monitor. Upgraded from an ASUS TUF VG27 170hz monitor with no adjustable stand. I have to say, the stand is great. You won’t imagine how great the stand is unless you had a monitor without a good stand. The colours on this are wayy better and the brightness is higher. The build quality seems higher than the TUF model.
    Uses DP and HDMI. I have 2 PCs plugged into this and my work monitor and just switch between the 3. The on-screen UI is really good and is a step up from my old TUF. Had I not been doing work on the monitor, I would have most likely went OLED.

    Got mine at B&H for $399, no taxes.

  5. Great project other than stuck pixels after opening

    Amazing performance and design. The tilt and swivel is an amazing feature but this product losing one star is because this is now the second one I’ve gotten (returned the first because of a dead pixel) with a dead or stuck pixel after just plugging it in.

  7. Don’t do it!

    I received a defective item. I returned it and was prompted to wait up to two weeks after they received the item before they issue a refund. Fast-forward two weeks, they moved the goal post out another two weeks. I was completely given the runaround and reached out to Amazon support. Amazon support disconnected from me twice before I got an answer saying all I could do is wait longer atrocious for Amazon. Terrible item support just don’t waste your time. go with KTC.

    I got this for my son for his birthday just recently in January 2025. He absolutely loves it and for sure loves me more because I spent tons of money on this monitor. If you got the money get this monitor you won’t be disappointed. It’s 1440p has a 165 HZ refresh rate and some other bells and whistles. This definitely is a premium product and I’m sure you can find the same specs on a cheaper monitor so make sure you take a look but if money is no object then definitely get this one or a better one
