ASUS 31.5” Curved Gaming Monitor WQHD 1440p 144Hz DP HDMI Eye Care FreeSync/Adaptive Sync

I've only had this monitor for 3 days, so these are my experience from 3 days with the monitor.This is by far the largest monitor I've ever had personally, a 31.5 inch display is massive compared to a 24, or even a 27 inch display. The extra screen space provided by a 2560x1440 monitor is massive, and quite substantial for work flow/gaming/general use. The pixel quality/density is strong, I don't feel like the pixels are giant like I've seen on some monitors in stores/demos, but maybe someone has considerably better eyes than I do would be able to point that out.As for colour, this is a very vibrant monitor with a large gamut of options available to play with. I will state that I do not like ANY of the presets that came with the monitor, and very quickly opted for a "User Settings" option which allowed to me to customize this to my satisfaction, once I had done that I was very satisfied with the colours/brightness of the image.The monitor has an excellent refresh rate, looks crisp and clean playing videos. The monitor is fairly responsive in gaming situations. I went from an ASUS VG248QE, which has a 1ms response time to this monitor with a reported response time of 4ms. I cannot say that I've noticed a difference, it is a subliminal level of difference and something that I might pick up over time, however as all I've really done on this monitor to this point is play competitive games I feel I can safely say that the difference between 4ms, and 1ms, is not something that will effect your performance in a game unless you're already playing at the upper echelons of what anyones skill can play at.Overall, I would say I have three issues with this monitor, but they do not detract from it's impressiveness in my mind.Issue #1: The stand is not the most aesthetically pleasing stand, it's far too "Gamer" quality and aesthetic. I will admit it is at the very least a very sturdy stand.Issue #2: The monitor did not come with a display port cable. It came with a mini-display port, not a huge deal, but kind of silly. I spent this kind of money, you might as well give me both, no?Issue #3: The monitor when plugged in via USB extender, and via Displayport-Mini will appear in your computers "Playback devices", despite not actually being a source of audio. The monitor requires a 3.5mm audio cable to provide audio, that's not a problem, I'm not bothered by that. I am bothered by it appearing in my "Playback devices" as a default device despite not being capable of producing audio without said cable plugged in, which also did not come with the monitor.

I did a ton or research on monitors before deciding on this one, as it came highly rated in several hardware reviews.The Asus XG32VQ does not disappoint,It meets my criteria as a gaming monitor, but also as one to watch movies/media on. It runs excellently with the RTX2070 super at a solid 144 FPS while gaming dipping down only as low as 135 under heavy load with ray tracing in the game Control. I have been able to run everything on max settings and it makes gaming look so much better.Colors are phenomenal, and the contrast is sharp. I was worried about blurring, but haven't had any issues.The movies/ shows I've watched thus far have looked good- but I haven't watched anything with higher than 1080p resolution.The only minor complaint is that I wish it was a bit brighter (HDR), but it's perfectly acceptable for its price point.Considering this monitor was $699 msrp when it released I think it's a great buy for under $450 and free shipping. (Sold by Amazon)TLDR: Definitely a solid performing monitor without paying a fortune!

Got this monitor for sale on Black Friday. Had very high ratings across many sites. I was previously gonna 24 inch screen so the size was an adjustment at first but only took a few days. 1440p looks beautiful and definitely a sweet spot for gaming. The curve gives great depth and provides some immersive gameplay. Overall, very solid monitor and a big upgrade for anyone currently on 1080p. I have a gtx 1070ti and most games maxed out (minor tweaks) I get a minimum 70fps + @1440p. I'd say my gpu is on the lower end now for 1440p gaming so it is something to consider when buying this screen.

If you already have a decent 1440p monitor, I would reconsider purchasing it.It's a good monitor. But it wasn't as big of an upgrade as people had led me to believe. It is 144Hz with adaptive sync, but the panel they use is a little worse than the monitor I had. There were no glaring technical issues. No stuck/dead pixels or massive light bleed, it just wasn't a big improvement for what I use it for.UPDATE - After several weeks of owning this monitor horizontal lines have begun appearing, distorting the bottom of the picture. For almost $700 U.S, I would expect it to have lasted longer than 3 months. Now I know that not everybody has QC issues like this, and I'm going to bet that ASUS will replace my monitor with a new one, but I'm not sure I want to take the chance that I'll just get another defective one. It's really rolling the dice here.If I could simply get a refund from Amazon at this point, I would.UPDATE #2 - So ASUS has informed me they will be sending me "another same model monitor" to replace the malfunctioning one. I'll update one I've gotten the replacement.UPDATE #3 - So ASUS after much "encouragement" sent me a replacement, and all was well until the same exact thing started happening AGAIN about a week ago. It's a little slightly higher up, but the same thing, Horizontal lines appearing in the display. I'll not bother contacting ASUS again on this matter, as I don't trust they will resolve the issue. It sucks to lose the $600+ on this, but lesson learned.
