> 3 dayThis monitor works perfectly with my new iMac Mini and the picture is fantastic. It connected easily, recognized by my Mac easily, and the only knock is lack of instructions for an easy way to wake and to turn off and on the monitor. That button seems non sturdy. Only time will tell I guess. But so far, works as expected.

Greater than one weekFor whatever reason, it flickers. Two of my friends got this and raved about it. Overall its great and I love it but the flickering is annoying and painful on the eyes. The first one I exchanged, maybe just a defect, but happens on the replacement too. Ran the same settings as my friends, they dont have the issue, I do. Kind of sad since its supposed to help your eyes. Been through everything I could to figure it out but nothing. Changed settings on the monitor and my xbox for hours to no avail. Ill deal with it I guess...

Greater than one weekThis is a good 4k monitor only if you play truly for competitive purposes, but youd be better off with buying a top tier 1080p monitor for the price. Purchased this based on my experience with an Asus 1080p monitor for my xbox one x, which was fantastic and still is. In a side by side of the same videos, its abundantly clear the color of this 4k model is sacrificed for the other spec, 1 ms response time. Even after tinkering with settings for a whole day the colors all looked washed out. I tried it on several games, warframe, destiny 2, forza horizon, and only on forza is looked decent for a 4k, but thats because forza looks fantastic on anything. It has a lot of settings for the display but not the ones that matter for adjusting how the colors look. The trace free setting if used just creates a black after image if you turn quickly or a movie adjusts too fast, and it doesnt support HDR. The vividpizel option is also inconsistent, it either blurs the details slightly or highlights everything with what seems like white borders, and the setting doesnt work between the different games I tried, i constantly had to to adjust it. Also calibrated my xboxs settings as well, for clarification. I really didnt want to return it. The colors put simply looked washed out, the colors on my 1080p monitor and my samsung s8 look way better. I spent a lot of time focusing on the visuals aspect because thats the entire reason to purchase a 4k display when it comes to something as small as a monitor. Onto the other aspects, the blue light filter is very good, no complaints, that is one of the selling points. Game plus option is cool, allows for fps counter, and a reticle for hip firing, among other options. A definite bonus to hardcore competitive players. Unlike the other reviews, the base was fine for me, I dont need much tilt adjustment, and the base wasnt wobbly at all, but i believe thats because people didnt actually tighten the base correctly. The screw the comes with it allows you to tighten it without a screwdriver, and when I did that, it was wobbly like the other reviews said. Tightening it with a tool fixed it. Menu button/control scheme seemed fine to me, easy to use, didnt travel or detect random directions like other reviews, but I only kept the monitor for a few days before returning. All in all, will be good for some hardcore players, but the sacrifice of colors and visual options in this display just isnt worth it for a 4k monitor.

Greater than one weekSo far the only largest complaint Ive had and the reason I dont give it five stars is that dang button configuration on the back. Its not absolutely terrible but definitely not intuitive and the power off feature is not at all what it could be. Other than that this monitor has been quite great. No other complaints. Cheaper 4k monitor that doesnt noticeably ghost compared to my other Sceptre monitor. I have had this monitor more than a Month without any real issues.

> 3 dayso Im using this for my laptop, but it can only run 4k at 30 fps, so i had to downgrade to get 60 fps (if you have a high end cpu or game console you should be able to get 4k at 60 fps). Also, there are alot of annoying settings that are just... ehh. Coming from a qhd lg monitor, this one just isnt that great in terms of viewing angles, its really just a cheaped out 4k. If you want to just play games on it, I think thats fine, like for me, if Im looking at an image, I dont see any problems, but the display itself can feel kind of cheap when surfing the web. Plus there were some other stuff too. The stand comes built in to it, and when I set it up, it was just really low, so I put this on a vesa stand I had, but that whole process took like 10 minutes of trying not to damage the screen at weird angles, while normally it wouldve been pretty instant. Ive had some issues with monitors I bought off of amazon, like the last one had a stuck pixel, so I was just happy that this one didnt have damage, but I might try to exchange this for an lg or samsung monitor

> 3 dayIt might just be that Im upgrading from a 1080p from 2010, but I am quite satisfied. Nice and dark, great response, good connectivity, and the control nub on the back is easier to use than I expected. Text (and everything else) nice and clear. As a bonus, it even has a much smaller stand than my older, smaller monitor, freeing up a good bit of desk space. I havent seen any of the mentioned issues, using an Nvidia GPU. I did have an issue where half the screen was solid black when I first turned it on. Turns out, this was an Nvidia issue, and a simple driver update fixed it.

Greater than one weekIve had this monitor for a year and a week. You get what you pay for and Id like to divest myself of this one. The PC has an Intel Core i7-12700K and is using onboard graphics, which probably makes a difference here. Since opening this monitor, it has been a piece of hot junk. Pixels, sometimes individual, sometimes one row, sometimes 8 rows, act like theyre frozen and flash and change which rows are stuck. This isnt uncommon on a new 4k monitor to a much lesser extent, but it went away on my LG after a couple months and has only gotten worse on this thing with time. It has never ever recognized a displayport cable, always saying no signal, and Ive tried 3. In the last month, the screen started going black for 5 seconds at a time at random intervals. I might try a new HDMI cable to see if that solves anything, but I had really wanted to use the dp. The trick of power cycling the monitor with the cable in doesnt work. When I first opened it, HDMI 1 didnt really want to cooperate. I used HDMI 2 for a while until I tried switching ports to see if I could get the pixel insanity to stop, but they both produce the problem. I also rather hate that the thing has no options except to control brightness. It is super finicky to turn off. If you try to turn it off after the screen has gone into standby, you get back to the display selection and cant turn the monitor off from there. Honestly the monitor defaults to display selection when it gets overwhelmed. The comments about the narrow viewing angle are accurate. The thing is wildly fuzzy if you stand up and look down at it or are seated at too low an angle. It does have a decent tilt range for adjustment, but it isnt particularly sharp no matter what. Letters have a very noticeable halo always. There is a good chance that I am going to take the thing in to be recycled and buy a new one because no one deserves the torture of troubleshooting this piece of junk. Usually Asus monitors are fine, but avoid this like the plague for a pc.

> 3 dayGreat screen for 4K gaming and works great for the Xbox one x , switch to game mode and is already calibrated to great visuals and performance. Screen was bigger then I expected so that’s a bonus. BEWARE they do not put your ASUS box in an amazon box when delivering , because of this an employee stole my first monitor which amazon labeled under “missing.” After a complaint my second was delivered successfully but still did not change the packaging and almost had it stolen from right in front of my door. (I was lucky to arrive at my door as soon as it was delivered.) for this reason it’s not given a 5 star rating.

> 3 dayI have had this monitor for 16 months now and it has lived up to my expectations in every way. The picture is sharp and clear and the colors are vibrant. Not a gamer, so over-top specs were not was I was looking for. I needed a good general purpose monitor that would be suitable for watching sports too. I having been planning to update my graphics card (like so many for us) but still using my old Nvidia GTX1060, which is not quite up to the mark for MSFS 2020. Even so, this monitor displays great scenery. If you are looking for a good solid monitor that will serve you well for years, I highly recommend this monitor.
