   First time buying a monitor. Employee who helped with the purchase was very friendly and knowledgeable. Monitor quality is good and have had no issues. Setup was almost too easy, able to use it within 5 minutes of opening. Would recommend this for anyone buying their first monitor on a medium budget!

2. Good for work and play

   I have a four-monitor setup for both work and gaming. I was using two 24” Dell SE2417HG monitors stacked horizontally, and two HP 27yh 27” monitors (one on each side). The Dell monitors were decent for gaming, but I wanted another 27” for my main center monitor so it would match the size of the two HP’s flanking. When I saw this Asus curved 17” display I knew that it would be perfect. I’ve been a fan of Asus products for many years. They have always offered great value and never disappointed me.

   The curved shape offers a clear head-on view and also helps with matching the angles of the flanking monitors creating a “cave” effect. I really like that the Asus has a standard 100mm VESA mount, so it was easy to attach to my mount. My only small complaint is that the controls are midway up on the right side instead of on the bottom edge. With another monitor next to it, the controls are hard to reach, but the joystick does make it easier to adjust even with a long reach. Speaking of the monitor’s controls, they are intuitive and fairly easy to use. I like some of the on-screen display options like seeing the frame rate. The monitor itself is not terribly heavy – around 15lbs. The plastic housing feels sturdy enough, and the top and side bezel is very thin which makes it look very sleek, until I found that the image does not reach the edges as there’s about ½ an inch of unused area around the top and sides. The bottom bezel is about an inch thick. Overall, the physical display housing is somewhat plain and nothing special.

   I really like the color representation of this monitor. Even with adjustable settings, most monitors are a challenge to calibrate. This one is actually very good right out of the box. For daily use, whites are just slightly warm, and blacks are crisp. I did make some minor adjustments to better match the colors to my existing monitors, and I am very happy with the results. The viewing angle is good, too. It’s not like an OLED screen, but great for an LED – especially a VA screen. I know IPS has long been the best for gaming, but this Asus VA panel definitely competes with the IPS monitors that I have used. As for inputs, it has both Display Port and HDMI. There are no DVI or VGA ports, but I don’t think that most buyers of monitors in this class would be using those connections.

   As for gaming, I connected this to my Acer Predator laptop and it supports a 144hz refresh. I noticed no lag or artifacts in the display. In fact, I think it outperformed the laptop’s built-in display which supports 165hz. Colors were good and so was brightness, though contrast could be better, though it’s about as good as it gets with an LED panel. The curved screen works well for gaming immersion. Overall, this is a very good monitor, and it’s a decent value. I highly recommend it for gaming and general computer use.

   

3. Great Monitor for the Money

   The monitor is very visually appealing. It fits well on my desk and is very adjustable. The stand has many adjustments and I was able to set it at a good viewing height. I set it up to use with my Steam account games on my pc. The resolution is good and rivals more expensive monitors. It is a good balance between economy and high quality colors and resolution. I had some trouble setting it up at 180hz, so used 120hz and the refresh rate was great. The colors were accurate and refresh rate was fast enough to prevent pixelation and make playing my first person shooter games very enjoyable. I am sure it would be great on other types of games as well.
   I was a little concerned on whether I would like the 27” monitor. It is a little larger than I am used to using. Since the monitor is curved it doesn’t feel that wide and it helps put you right into the action. It engages more of your periferal vision.
   Asus is a great company with very reliable products. I have owned other Asus monitors in the past and I believe this is a great addition to their line up. I would definitely recommend other gamers to purchase this monitor.

4. Great for Flight Sim!

   The ASUS 27” curved monitor is excellent for flight simulation. I’ve used it with both Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane 11, and it renders scenery without any jutter or motion blur, even when flying high speed and low altitude through the mountains weaving through tight valleys. Color performance is also excellent with lifelike images and beautiful depth.

   The monitor arrived securely packaged with all required cables (power and display port) and a helpful quick start guide. Attaching the stand to the base was just a matter snapping it in and installing a captive thumb screw. The monitor then attaches to the stand by clicking in a round socket. The monitor can be removed by releasing a single button.

   Once up and running, exploring the menus which allow many different modes specific to the activity you are performing. For flight sim, I like scenery mode. Race mode also looked great. There’s a cinema mode, and several others as well. I was very happy with performance right out of the box , but also enjoyed experimenting with the various modes and settings.

   I really like this monitor and find it excellent for my use. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to a friend.

5. Great monitor for any stage gamer

   I decided I wanted to get myself a proper gaming set up, so per usual, I started with trying to find an ASUS monitor. This one has exceeded all expectations!

   Features
   The ROG Strix is a curved gaming monitor that boasts a maximum resolution of 2560×1440 for a spectacular picture all-around. My model is 27″ and includes FreeSync Premium synchronization, a 180Hz refresh rate, and a 1 millisecond pixel response time to make the visual aspect of gaming a breeze.

   Pros
   The refresh rate is lightning fast with a much better response time than any other monitors I have tried! FreeSync Premium synchronization is a feature I haven’t experienced before, but it helps the syncing of a visual display to a game’s frame rate and makes it seamlessly combine for a smooth visual experience. As always, a curved monitor helps give a better perspective of how our eyes naturally see things and therefore makes gameplay much more immersive. Pixel response is also very fast, to the point where I am seeing no delay.

   Cons
   I wish there were more HDMI ports. It only includes two, but I can use as many as I can get. I love being able to have one seamless set-up for whatever I need and by preparing a gaming set-up, I’m able to do just that. I can easily get an external accessory to correct it, of course.

   Conclusion
   I’d definitely recommend this monitor! It’s a bit high tech for simply browsing the internet, but if you game or watch a movie with it once, you’ll be hooked.

7. Very nice monitor for all sorts of uses!!!!

   I got this not only for gaming, but for general use and movies. So, monitor arrives packed very well. One thing that was very nice was to have all the little stuff in a little mesh bag- hard to lose stuff and papers.

   Anyway, I get it set up with my laptop running it and it looks just like any other monitor. smacking myself around wondering what is so special about this monitor. Then I called my IT buddy. Turns out the dock was not strong enough for such a monitor. So, I went to the store and spent over $100 and got exactly what I needed. I got home, hooked up, and WOW. I dont understand all the numbers that make this monitor so good, but lets just say I now see more detail which helps we win more.

   Using it as a regular monitor was great as well. It still has a small footprint for its size and the curve lets a bigger monitor fit nicely on my desk. With its large size I can easily have 2 things open at once.

   I gave it only 4 starts because of the extra expense of the new dock- that MAY be my fault for not understanding what it needs to run. But, I do enjoy it!!!!!

   I’ve been using this monitor for a little while and it’s been great. The monitor looks like a premium unit with the design and color details. It has every input you could want, the stand is very adjustable and easy to use. The screen is bright, easy to view and the refresh rate works well while gaming.

   I honestly haven’t found anything I don’t like about this monitor yet. It’s a solid unit for gaming and general computer use. The resolution is great for gaming as my mid-range 3050 video card is able to push 1440. I also have several non-high refresh 23″ 4k monitors and great vision and honestly 4k at 23″ is not that noticeable. The 27″ is more noticeable but doesn’t work for gaming so this monitor is a great sweet spot in resolution. The curved screen works well gaming also. I haven’t used a curved unit before and it does seem to be a little more immersive.

   The inputs are HDMI, DP, USBc, and VGA. They all work well (VGA being limited). The USBc was temperamental as the computer has to support the protocol, which apparently all my computers do not. The HDMI and DisplayPort work seamlessly though.

   The monitor menu is also easy to get around and honestly one of the best I’ve used. It’s easy to use the joystick on the back of the monitor and the menus are intuitive and thorough.

   The stand is great. It’s easy to assemble and it’s got every adjustment I could want. You can drop it almost down to the table or have it at least 6″ higher. It pivots and swivels easily and smoothly and stays where I put it every time.

   Overall I would highly recommend this monitor. It’s clear, quick, colorful, adjustable and looks premium. I can’t think of what else I’d need in a monitor.
