This is a gaming beast with beautiful 4k and HDR
I was torn between getting a 4k monitor or one that has very high frame rate capabilities and this does both! I love that I can quickly switch between 4k for movies or YouTube and then back to 1080p for doing business or school work. If you have never owned a 4k monitor, when in 4k all the text and icons become super tiny and hard to read so the versatility is awesome. Picture quality is fantastic and it adjusts in several different positions. Tilt left to right, forward and back, height adjustment and it flips vertical. It’s a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and this is worth the premium. 👍🏻👍🏻

Best upgrade ever. You don't need a GPU you need FPS.
I have been playing Apex since day 1, always with a 144 fps monitor. But just recently upgraded to have kind of best of both world gaming at high fps and 4k for slow games and some working (lol). I am still using an am4 with a 5800, plus a 3060 ti and hitting 300 fps. Now I am not missing a single wingman shot

In love with this monitor
I was totally stuck deciding whether FPS or Picture quality was more important for my gaming setup. Typically at the 200-300 dollar price range, your stuck deciding between the two. Computers than can run at 320Hz at 4k are in the thousands, so I figured for my budget it was one or the other.... That is until i stumbled upon this divine creation. For just a hundred bucks more than i was planning on spending, this monitor allows you to easily swap between high frames poor picture quality (320hz 1080p) to reasonable frames High quality (160hz 4k). Now I can play Rocket League or Call of Duty at a competitive level of frames , then swap to 4k and lower the frames for immersive games like Red Dead Redemption. The Monitor and Mount are very sturdy and look sleek and futuristic. Very happy with my purchase.(Probably not ideal for Xbox players as the max frames the xbox can display is 120hz)

My Dream Monitor
1. If your computer can’t run on that much frames or hz then don’t expect it to. The monitor can’t change how powerful the computer is but, if your computer can handle it then it should be able to with this monitor if not then it can’t.Why I like this monitor?The color matches my desk setup as well as the stand, it has all of my favorite colors; black, white, red, LED & it’s adjustable, has a spot for my fancy phone as well. This is just what I wanted and needed. It’s also, the same company as my motherboard.

Mostly good, has issues though
The media could not be loaded. I've been looking to get a new monitor for some time now. I wanted one that would meet all of my criteria.4k24"-32"around $250 (this obviously wasn't met)IPS panel120+hzVesa mount compatibleThis monitor checked all the boxes except the price, but I was willing to spend a little more if it meant I was getting a great monitor. And it is -- mostly. The picture is nice, vivid and smooth. It handles high frames without a problem. The 27" size is perfect on a monitor arm to get it positioned exactly where you want it. Games are beautiful in 4k and there's not much issue, most of the time. The included display port cable is a nice addition and supports DP1.4.The thin bezels are a little misleading, there's still a border under the glass that makes the bezel larger than you'd think it was. The first product picture shows it well, the black you see around the top, left and right, most of that is under the glass and not the plastic surround of the monitor, if that makes sense.The menu is strange and the monitor has buttons to shortcut to certain settings, but it's all still in the menu. The extra buttons seem unnecessary to me. Parts of the menu are easy to get to and other options are hard to figure out why they are greyed out. I haven't tried the 'app' yet, as I'm not sure if that requires a usb connection or not (usb cable NOT included).Vesa mounting is trickier than it needs to be, you have to pry off the plastic pieces around the monitor arm to get to the screws to take off the arm (the instructions aren't very helpful with this). Basically if you look at the plastic circle you can see that it's two different sections. Where they meet around the bottom at about the 4-5 o'clock position there's a 'ramp' edge. If you take a flat head screwdriver you can wedge it in there and pry it up. But instead of doing that, since you probably will mar up the plastic, just try giving it a firm tug and rock it back and forth first. It's just clipped in and comes off with a little bit of force. The space to mount an arm is limited. It has to be square, if your arm's plate has extended rounded edges or anything that makes it larger than a a regular square shape, it probably won't fit, unless you want to get creative with spacers and longer screws, but I don't recommend that.Here are my main issues with this monitor:Changing anything in the settings is SLOW. The monitor will turn off and take it's sweet time coming back or might turn on/off several times.Detecting an input is SLOW and will turn on and off multiple times before it stays on. I have two monitors connected (other is an LG) both on DP and the Asus takes about 10+ seconds longer to 'turn on' compared to the LG. I'm not sure if it's the same on HDMI, but I'm not willing to give up the performance I paid for to have it on HDMI instead of DP.I also get a strange bug randomly. My second monitor will start getting like tv scan lines from the top of the monitor and go down about an inch of the screen at which time the asus monitor shuts off then turns back on. It will keep doing this until I unplug both monitors from the graphics card and plug them back in. Sometimes it requires a reboot to fix. I NEVER had this issue before using this monitor, so I can safely say that it's causing the problem and it's not an issue with my graphics card. I just can't figure out why it's happening. It might be that my other monitor is 1080p and a smaller size and strange things are happening at random times, really not sure. The issue hasn't happened in a few weeks at the time of me writing this, but it sure is annoying when it happens.The biggest one though is their form of local dimming (at least I assume that's what it is). The backlight turns on in columns based on what is on the screen and where. On dark scenes or areas in a game you will see it. If you move your mouse across a dark screen you will see the columns of light travel across the screen. I had an fps counter in the top left, and when I played anything that had a dark scene, the whole left side of the screen would be lit up with a column of light. Watching movies on this would be a disaster, if it has black borders. It might just be the HDR, I'm not fully sure since I haven't tried turning it off yet (again something I paid for, I shouldn't have to turn it off to make things look better, when it's a feature that IS supposed to make things look better). Including a video to demonstrate this.Overall though, the cons aren't a big enough issue for me to return it, but I think I will be keeping an eye out for an OLED monitor to replace it and my older LG.
