Fortunately, it delivers, as I’ll get into.
This definitely isn’t a small monitor; you’ll need a fair bit of space on your desk.
This is a Dual-QHD QD-OLED display, meaning it’s the width oftworegular 27-inch 1440p monitors.
Standard 100 x 100mm VESA mounting is supported, and a wall mount bracket is included in the box.
It’s well-designed and definitely feels as premium as it costs, which is good.
I still love the textured surface ASUS uses here, and everything is immaculately constructed.
You have a solid amount of adjustability, too, between height, swivel, and tilt.
There’s no pivot adjustment here, but that’s an oddity when it comes to ultrawide monitors.
Controls are easily accessed, and the ports are split between input and everything else.
And it looks brilliant.
I also tested all the other standard profiles, which come with preset brightness levels.
What’s more, you’ll always be restricted to a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz.
This is a very impressive screen, although I wish it got a little brighter outside of HDR content.
In most respects, this monitor is fantastic for gaming.
ASUS also does a good job with OLED care, so you don’t have to worry about burn-in.
However, 144Hz is on the low side at this price point, even for a Dual-QHD monitor.
Color accuracy isn’t quite studio-grade, but it’s good enough for most people for sure.
Not every feature under the sun is here, though.
There are no integrated speakers of any kind, although there is an SPDIF audio port.
If you’re willing to pay top dollar for a top-notch jack-of-all-trades, this may be the one.
You definitely won’t miss any of the action when gaming on this monitor.
Games that support it look spectacular, too, but ultrawide isn’t something that everyone really wants.
I appreciate having one USB port at the top where it’s easily accessed (and may be perfect for your webcam).
OLED gaming monitors are becoming more common, even ultrawide options, but ASUS remains competitive.
OLED looks mighty good on ASUS' monitors and laptops.
