## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only downside for me is that the brightness will automatically adjust itself.
*by E***D on August 19, 2021*

The media could not be loaded. I love this Monitor! All I Play is DayZ Standalone and Rotmg and I went from playing on a 50 inch 720p TV to This Peice of Hardware! After looking into TONS of Monitors i accidentally stumbled on this one!The ASUS Tuf Gaming Monitor, The name itself packed its own punch and had me wanting to learn more. AMD Freesync, dynamic Game Visual modes so you can find the right screen setting for any game, 1ms response time, 165hz for a maximum of 165FPS.I Ordered it and awaited it's arrival.About 3 days later it arrivedIt took about 10-15 minutes to unbox and put together, the stand connected to it is Very sturdy and well made, its what I hold onto when moving the monitor around. The screw that holds the Foot of the stand into place can loosen up on its own and you might need to re tighten it after moving it a few times, no issue for me. Looks good, time to test it out.WOW, okay I've been writing this review since I started using this thing and it's been a little over a month I think.It blew all my expectations out of the water,The first Game I booted up on this monotor was DayZ Standalone on the Ps4 and PC (I wanted to see both of them through the monitor) immediately I saw a MASSIVE difference in quality of pretty much everything about the game, it was alot more smooth, clear, HD, Bright. I could literally see characters sitting in bushes from MILES Away!Spotting people and items became way easier, I almost feel like it made me better at PVP but maybe it's just the added confidence.I LOVE THIS MONITOR. i suggest picking one up before they realize they should Price these things up!!!Only true downside is that the monitor will adjust its own brightness depending on how bright or dark whatever is displayed on screen. It's barely noticeable unless your switching tabs around.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must buy for gamers!
*by E***S on July 31, 2025*

Love the quality i get with this monitor , i use it on my PC and ps5 and it is great , definitely recommend for any gamers!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Updated: Died after 10 months, manufacturer warranty
*by A***H on October 1, 2023*

I used this monitor maybe 3-5 hours daily for 10 months. Just completely stopped working today without warning. I luckily was able to test the power cord, but unluckily that works fine with my other monitor.Loved the monitor before it broke though!Update 10/4/23: I’m working with Asus directly for a warranty repair/replacement so I will keep updating as that goes!10/23 update: the monitor was processed within days!! I should be receiving it tomorrow or Wednesday to see if it’s back in working order.10/25 update: The monitor was shipped back via FedEx, signature required. We chose to pick ours up. Anyway, it works perfect again. No idea what failed but the repair was processed super quick and easily. Took 10 min to request the repair online and two weeks later the monitor is back on my desk. Bravo Asus!TLDR: monitor stopped working but Asus manufacturer warranty repair was seamless. Extremely happy customer.
