🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The monitor has been highly praised for its large screen and high resolution, making it excellent for work productivity, especially for tasks that require multiple screens at once like electrical design and autocad drafting. Users find it very useful for gaming as well, however, some users report that games that don't support 32:9 ratio require changing display resolution on Windows. The Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature allowing simultaneous input from multiple sources has some issues, with some users even saying it does not work, and instructions for use are lacking.

Pros

  • 🖥 Large screen and high resolution improve work productivity.
  • 🎮 Suitable for gaming, more immersive with games supporting 32:9 ratio.
  • 💼 Excellent for multi-window tasks like electrical design and autocad drafting.
  • ⚖ Lightweight (21 lbs), making it easier to handle independently.

Cons

  • ⚡ Issues with Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature.
  • ⛔ Instructions for use can be vague and general, not monitor-specific.
  • 👀 Can pick up glare of light behind the user.
  • 💻 For games that don't support 32:9 ratio, requires changing display resolution on Windows.

Should I Buy It?

If you need a monitor primarily for work that involves multitasking across multiple screens and occasional gaming, then this might be a good fit. However, if you specifically need a PBP feature that works flawlessly, you might want to find alternatives as this monitor appears to have some issues with it.


  • MIND BLOWING: Did NOT regret this purchase! So WORTH IT!! Color FANTASTIC!!! Speed: EPIC
Style: 24" FHD 144Hz Set: TN
The hardest part about my computer set-up has been deciding on a monitor... I checked, reviewed, researched, went to stores to look, and took an awful amount of time to find a decent monitor. Finally, I decided to purchase this monitor for the 144Hz speed, dedication to gamers, and the 3 years warranty. Before I go further, I made the right choice! Once you open up the box you immediately see that you have purchased a MONITOR that will do your bidding for serious PC folk or gamers. This is not some cheap junk. It looks great! If looks could kill, they nailed it with the sleek, slim, and modern look. You can tell this is not a bargain store monitor purchase. The stand: awesome. Better than any other junk stands I have had the patience to work with. It adjusts to your liking, firm, simple, ergo, fantastic. Why don't they build all monitors stands like this? Forsake wall mounts. The monitor: FANTASTIC. Once you turn her on (the power button ROCKS) the bright blaze of sunlight will hit your eyes and enter your brain like a slap. Brightness at 100 will let you know that this monitor is capable of burning retinas at a billion candles per inch as well as massages your eyes depending on your mood or quite possibly the fact that you could use this monitor outside (not recommended) and the sun will not dare to outshine it. After the first brightness adjustment, the color on this monitor seemed fine to me, in fact, better than the POS it replaced by light years. Looked around at color recommendations and the simple ones you will find online are fine for any start-up fine tuning. Trust me, color is not an issue. I do not understand why anyone is having problems with color on this monitor... it quite simply ROCKS. 144Hz speed: At startup I went straight to adjusting the refresh frequency from the starting 60Hz to 144Hz. Why? Because this is the highlight feature of this monitor! FAST refresh is better for everything. Why hobble along a 60 mph on the freeway when you know your sports car can get 144 mph without sweating? You simply must max out the frequency for games to enable better goodness on the battlefield, not to mention anything else you do on your PC. Once you put it on 144Hz, you are now a professional PC POWER-user and dare I say it: GAMER. Yes, there is an advantage, YES!! Incredible performance. Price: Got this for the ridiculous price of $209 on a black Friday weekend sale...and then it went up to like $300 after the sale. I would still pay for the $300 on this but keep an eye out for sales that come frequently enough... so worth it. Size: 24 inches is better than 22, and someday the standard will be 27 or 28.. can't wait for the larger variants to become affordable. 24 is great however, very NICE. This monitor was thinking of you, the PC user, with muscle and power under the hood of your build. Regarding HDMI or Display Port users: Why bother? The DVI dual link cable it comes with is the baby you need to plug into your video card for 144Hz goodness. If you add another monitor, fine, deal with it. Regarding speakers: HAHAHAHAHHA, whatever. One wonders why they bothered. Monitors should not come with internal speakers because they always blow due to size constraints and placement. Ever notice how large screen TV's all have sound bars? It's because internal speakers are lame. 3 year warranty: Worth it! Nice!! Ever have a monitor die after a year or so for no reason other than "it was its time"? I have. Hold on to your original box, register with ASUS, and know that you can get some satisfaction when your monitor goes kaput in the next 3 years. Shipping is paid by ASUS. NICE. UPDATE 2.5 years later: Still rocking it, gaming it, videos galore. No issues or problems. Still have my original box if it twitches before 3 year warranty expires. It's my precious. Considering buying another one just like this for my work desk, so worth it! Great performance, ergo as heck, and value with this monitor!! Boom!!!! ... show more

  • Awesome monitor
Style: 49" Curved QHD 32:9 165Hz Docking Smart KVM Set: VA
I couldn’t find any reviews before I purchased this, so I wanted to give it a review for anyone considering it. For some background, I bought this primarily as a work monitor (spreadsheets, presentations, Zoom calls, etc.). I wanted a 49” ultrawide, I wanted to be able to plug my laptop in with a single USB C, but was open to a dock, I wanted a high quality panel that was free from defects and manufacturing issues, and I wanted the 1800r curve with 1440p resolution (since 2160p isn’t an option). High refresh and other goodies are mostly nice-to-haves in case I feel like plugging a real computer into it. The Panel It’s worth noting that Asus doesn’t offer a zero dead pixel guarantee, but the screen is perfect. There are zero dead/stuck pixels, no light bleed, respectable black levels, and colors all look natural. It goes nice and bright, but I mostly use it at a lower brightness since I use it all day. It has a pixel density of 109ppi, which is good, not great, but does look like a continuous set of pixels with no screen door effect as long as you aren’t right on top of it. The curve on this monitor is 1800r, or in other words, has a radius of 1800 millimeters. Think of this as the maximum distance you can sit back from the monitor, where the G9 has a 1000r curve, where you would want to sit no further than 1 meter back, and this monitor you would want to sit no further than 1.8 meters back. My preference is to sit a few feet back if I have to stare at a monitor for 8 hours, and if I sat any closer I may have had a less favorable view of the monitor. Because of the viewing angles of the panel, from where I sit the last inch or so of the screen is a bit darker than the rest, and as you move closer the darkness eats up more and more of the screen. 1000r seemed like it would be too much of a curve, but perhaps more than 1800 would have been nice. Most of the time I don’t notice and am not looking at the extreme edge of the screen, but I’ll probably try to move the monitor just a bit further back anyway. If you like to sit closer, consider a 1000r panel. Everything Else I have my laptop plugged in with a USB C. When I put my laptop to sleep, the monitor goes to sleep, and when I wake my laptop up, the monitor wakes up. A minor detail, but nice to have. There isn’t any quirkiness of will it/won’t it turn on or any delay in it turning on. It just works, every time. The USB C can charge at 65 watts if you want to use the USB ports, or 90 watts if you don’t need the USB ports or want to connect them with a separate cable. It has a few USB ports and you can always slip a USB hub under the cover if you need more. Initially the monitor didn’t want to turn on, but there’s a setting where you need to pick the type of USB C connection. I’m getting full resolution, but only 60 hertz from my laptop, but it may be a laptop issue and not a monitor/USB C issue, I can’t say for sure. With a single USB C connection, I have power, video, mouse, keyboard, webcam, and speakers that connect through the monitor. No issues with connecting it to either mac or pc. I put the monitor on an Ergotron HX, so no comment on the stand as I haven’t really even looked at it. There does seem to be a bezel that could hide the screws on the vesa mount, but it doesn’t fit over the HX mount (without a dremel at least) and may just be intended for the stand anyway. It has speakers, but I would only use them in a pinch as they aren’t good. There’s a joystick on the bottom of it right in the middle that works well, but feels awkward to use because of the positioning and there isn’t a remote or anything. From a looks perspective, it’s fairly basic without any gamer RGB silliness or anything, but the fit and finish are nice and it looks cool mounted on the arm, likely due to the sheer size more than anything else. Conclusion I love it. You may have a different use case which I can’t comment on yet. Fancy Zones is a must have and it’s cool to snap a big 27” window in the middle of the screen with two smaller ones on the side. It’s really nice when someone is sharing their screen with you and you can make it as big as you want, because your screen is bigger and wider than theirs, even with their video on the side. No squinting needed. Screen sharing over zoom is fine as you can set it to share a portion of your screen. Teams doesn’t give you many good options, but there are workarounds. You are in the price range that you can get a g9 or Neo G9 on sale for a negligible difference, but between hoping the one USB C dock people recommend for it works and questionable QC, the Asus seems like the winner. There are a number of other 49” panels, Dell, LG, Phillips, AOC etc., many of which appear to be different variants of the same few panels, but on paper none seem like as good of a choice as the Asus. OLED monitors look interesting, but between burn in and questionable longevity, they don’t seem like the best choice for an everyday monitor. ... show more
