Super gaming monitor
I have already tested several monitors. But this one has convinced me. IPS Glow is hardly present and the image is razor sharp. The color reproduction is really good thanks to IPS.
The buttons are a bit fiddly until you get used to it.
The monitor is quick to set up, stable and is overall well made. Especially the thin edges make a difference.
The monitor is immediately recognized as G-Sync compatible by the Nvidia card. The same goes for the Xbox One X with Freesync.
So far, I have not found anything that I could criticize. Runs cleanly and smoothly.Pro
- Freesync
- G-Sync compatible
- Colors
- General picture quality
- Workmanship
- Many cables included
All in all these defaults are nitpicks but there you have them, overall great screen for the price (445.-).
I have 2 unresponsive pixels on the top left corner (they get dark but as soon as it's too bright they only switch to white) and the first row of pixel flickers when overclock is set to 165 hertz,
Otherwise really good screen, a little bit of backlight bleed on the bottom right corner.
I would suggest to check the MSI MPG27CQ2 and LG 27GL850 as alternative.
As always there's a bit of luck involved when purchasing a new screen with the panel lottery.Super screen, mega price/performance
Best price/performance ratio
A Full HD from Asus costs only slightly less and has everything on board that you need for gaming.
The colours of the ROG look a bit better but I don't know if that justifies the minimum 200.- extra charge.
I am completely satisfiedPro
- Good resolution
- Nice picture
- .Price/Performance
- Great for gaming
- G Sync
Contra
- Nothing
I recommend especially at this price
it's crazy the difference with my old DELL 27" from 2008, the 144 fps make the rendering incredibly fluid if you have a good GFX card of course, the HDR is crazy, the adaptativ sync and the ELMB are just incredible, I want the same in OLED and it's perfect
Pro
- 144 fps, adaptativ sync and ELMB
Who wants to buy the monitor only because of the Hz number, ULMB-sync and Adaptive Sync, for which it is suitable. For people who want to buy the monitor because of the HDR feature, it is unfortunately not worth it.
Has no backlight bleeding, only IPS Glow.
The colors are really good, unfortunately the HDR option is miserable, when HDR is activated the picture quality deteriorates.Pro
- 165 hz
- ULMBSync
- Adaptive sync(enables Gsync as well as Freesync)
- 1 ms response time
- Power consumption is not even at level D but B
Contra
- HDR mode unusable (degrades color image)
1440p, 27", 165Hz
if you are looking for a 27" 1440p monitor, this is the right place for you. a great monitor
Pro
- Simply brilliant
