Been using this for two days now and everything is great. I have a dual Xeon workstation and gaming PC connected via KVM. After I got everything hooked up I maxed out the refresh rate at 240 Hz. Right off the bat I got really bad flickering, like multiple flickers per second and only happened at 240Hz. Fortunately, the problem was with my DP cable. Even though it was a Dp 1.4 it just couldn't support that high of a signal. Bought a new one. switched it out, and everything is great. Now, if you were like me I hesitated because my monitor is shared for work and play. I didn't know how bad the text would be considering how that is not a strong suit. The text isn't as sharp as my previous monitor but not a big deal at all. As a matter of fact, I am already used to it and don't think about it anymore. The blacks on this thing is absolutely amazing. The colors are so vibrant and rich and gaming looks so much better, even compared to a non OLED 4k monitor. The one thing that I was not too thrilled about is the auto dimming feature. If I switched from my desktop to MS word, you would see some minor dimming. I found out this is part of the built-in screen saving options. Not sure which ones so I turned them all off. I am not overly worried about burn-in. If it happens then I will use my 3-year warranty. By the way, make sure you register the monitor on Asus's site. Now, add this to your cart and check out. UPDATE: I just upgraded to the PG27UCDM (review above was for the XG27AQDMG). For some reason Amazon won't let me write an independent review, even though it is a different model so I am including it in this review. Without exaggeration, this may be the best monitor ever. It just took a few minutes to change the settings based on what I like. The colors are so vibrant and blacks are so deep. I seriously cannot think of anything on which to improve the quality on this monitor, except for one. There is noticeable flicking if I have VRR enabled. Certainly not a deal breaker but you can see it flicker if you pay close enough attention. Other than that, it's perfect and worth the $$$$.

★★★★★Crazy Difference
Absolutely insane in the difference. I came from a 165hz 1080p IPS monitor (monitor on right in the pic is a 75hz 1080p IPS) and the difference is crazy good. Not only in the colors, but the pixel quality too. Starting off with the colors, I mean do I even have to say anything? It’s an OLED and everyone knows how crazy good the colors on them are. I’ve had it for about two months now and I already have the OLED curse where every other TV or monitor looks mid now. The blacks and contrast in color is the best I’ve ever seen. I like the black and white backgrounds the most but colorful games (like geometry dash) looks incredible. Next is the frame rate. I have an rtx 4070 super and a 7800x3d so I still get the full 240hz on most games in 1440p ultra (except cyberpunk or modded Skyrim lmao). The 240hz is definitely an incredible difference from 165hz and is VERY noticeable in Rainbow Six Siege and Halo. Overall, the monitor is great and feels very premium to open, set up, and use (as it should for the price). I would highly recommend this monitor if you have the budget for it. I was going to get a cheaper AOC model one for like $399 but getting the gen 5 OLED panel with the better blacks in light (not turning purple like older gen panels) is very much worth it after watching video comparisons. I was the first one in my family to get an OLED and now my brothers are getting ones too (this exact one actually) and my dad is buying an OLED TV so the that for what you will.

★★★★★Crazy Blacks, Amazing Value, 100% worth the money
the sweet spot for gaming really is 1440p and 120hz++. This monitor is amazing. I cant really see the differrence in 4K vs 1440 but I can absolutly see just how amazing the image looks on this glossy OLED. I watched Tron - Ares on this monitor and all I can say is wow. The onscreen menu is simple and easy to use. The G-Sync with VRR worked out the box with my 5090. I had two minor problems with the monitor so far. I didnt use the included stand, I have my own vesa mount. And the included vesa mount attachment for the monitor was VERY difficult to get attached. I was hesitant to really press down hard to get this thing to click in becuase I didnt want to damage the monitor. I did get it in but it took way more force than I was comfortable giving. The second is that you will want to do a pixel cleaning out the box. It takes about 6 mins, but my monitor had a weird line accross the middle of the display. It was very noticable. I was worried my display was damaged in shipping but did the pixel cleaning and it went right away. Happy as I can be. The monitor is very bright in SDR. If you flip it to HDR the brightness falls a little bit but not bad. I have opeted to leave mine in SDR for the moment. My final thoughts are that this is a great monitor. With OLED finally coming down to the range of "normal" monitors its a real no brainer. If youre a gamer 4K makes little sense. Youre pushing your GPU so hard to fill those pixels and that costs you FPS. Just get the 1440p OLED and push have as many pixels to have those FPS soar and look at those games through a world class display. You wont be disappointed. In my picture you can see the OLED vs my old LCD. Both of those monitors are on and showing a black screen. \ 0.o /

★★★★★Asus is always reliable
I had purchased this Monitor as a last second replacement, I previously had a the 34 inch LG curved monitor which was great but gave me dizzyness and headaches and I couldn't use it anymore, I didn't have time to do much research because I needed a new monitor quick I couldn't go long without playing games, I know Asus never disappoints, this monitor had the exact same specs as the LG one both 1440p but somehow this Asus one looks WAY better its noticabley more crisp and vibrant sharper, it looks unreal I assume it's qbecause the glossy display definitely makes a big difference, and it being flat makes it much more easier on the eyes
