Worth it if you need accuracy
I’ve done a ton of research on monitors over the last 2 months trying to find the right one. Please remember this is just my opinions. Situation: I am a graphic/web design student and manage a website professionally for a major organization, I do have some financial freedoms, this monitor is not cheap and not needed for students but a huge bonus to have. I originally was looking for an ultra-wide (45”+). However, if you need color/image accuracy, bigger is worse. There is no right size but 24-32” is a good range. I went with the 27” which is perfect for my design, I run a 2nd monitor for my other programs through my work computer, it’s not ideal for “non-technical designers”. If you want a big screen for multi-tasking and other stuff, don’t spend the money on this. If you are looking for color/image accuracy, I think you found what you are looking for. System: I am running a 2020 M1 Mac Air w/ 16g ram, connection is through the usb-c port (touch on that later). Projects completed: I recently finished up some work and have completed about 3 illustrator projects and 5 photoshop projects since my purchase. I was working off my 13” screen and an HDMI connected 27” Acer. When I opened a few projects I had been working, I ended up changing all of my colors that weren’t part of the style guides, man was it off on the Acer. This Asus has everything a designer needs. RGB and CYMK are both very accurate, the cymk is not perfect but, you are looking at print colors on a screen. 4K is beautiful. I did hook up my Xbox series s and it looks good but doesn’t have frame rate needed so meh there but like I said, this is a monitor for designers. Movies play great through both HDMI, DP, and USB-C. I am still trying to get used to the board in this monitor charging my computer and other devices, It acts as a connection hub. Basically, this monitor hit every need. However……. If you plan on using usb-c connections (recommended), you will need to be a little tech savvy. These monitors do not work from the manufacturer with Apple. They just don’t. But. You can go to the asus website, download the firmware and drivers, install the drivers through commander, then move firmware to a thumb drive, plug it in to a usb 2.0, hit a sequence of monitor buttons which opens the hardware up for service. You run the file on the thumb drive through the monitor and then boom, it works. I typed this all out because it seemed daunting, but I was a first time to by following the directions step by step. Now, if you are looking at a monitor like this, you probably have the capacity to do what I just described, it’s worth it and will work fine with HDMI/DP until you do this. It seems like a big deal and I wish they did this at the factory but I know more about my monitor and how to troubleshoot it locally as opposed to shipping it back, waiting, and possibly being denied. It’s a pain in the butt but trust me, it’s totally worth the 15min it took. Overall, I’m very satisfied and would recommend this to designers/artists (digital). I would not recommend it to anyone outside of that field. If you are a student on a budget, you’ll get there eventually and be just fine.

Fantastic colors
The biggest reason to purchase this is if you do photo and video editing and care about highly accurate color representstion, which this large beautiful monitor does very well. Its solidly built and sturdy. However at its price point I wonder if chosing something a couple hundred dollars less may be a better choice.

Accurate color for professional use
I have used this as my primary work monitor for 3 months now and am very happy. I do architectural modeling and rendering work which required high definition and accurate color and this monitor delivers. It is great for color grading photo and video as well. HDR looks great and never issues with glare. Colors were accurate right out of the box. Looks nice and clean on desk. Only small gripe is it takes a little longer than desired to wake up from sleep. not a big enough issue for me to deduct a star.
