Console HDR Mode
Adjustable HDR: On
Uniform Brightness: Off (On for desktop usage, competitive gaming or low brightness settings)
Brightness: 100
OLED CARE Settings:
Auto Logo Brightness: on (off if you found other ways to take care of your oled monitor or need peak brightness all the time)
Screen Saver & Screen Move: On
Pros:
-Great OLED Preventative features, the NEO proxy is pretty cool and a intelligent way to turn off the display when not in use
-Great Build Quality
-Great Colors
-Bright Whites with the right settings enabled
-Deep Blacks (See it, and you never want to go back to LCD or IPS monitor ever again, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED).
-Fantastic Response times/motion handling, perfect for gaming or making that clear and smooth killshot, no visible ghosting or overshoot
-3 Year Warranty ***Unclear for BURN-IN Related defects***
-True Black Glossy Screen, almost like looking at a picture but lively, must see in person.
-Dual-Mode Functionality (4k UHD 165hz/1080p FULL HD 330hz), perfect for 4k console and/or 1080p PC competitive gaming
-2x HDMI 2.1 Ports, perfect for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One X, PS4 Pro & Playstation 5/Pro
Cons:
-$1000, if you got the money to purchase it, or you are an avid gamer and want the best visuals, if not better than a traditional GPU upgrade would provide, go for it. Otherwise, go for the 1440p OLED equivalents.
-DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), may not be a dealbreaker for some, but it's 2025 and worth mentioning.
-Glossy Panel Maintenance: the screen panel itself is very delicate and can get scratches, smudge marks, or oil residue very easily. Using distilled water and a Microfiber cloth will suffice.
-Monitor/stand adjustments: love the low stand real estate it takes up; however, the minimal movement it has, especially the height adjustment, kinda sucks.
-Colors dont match up with QD-OLED alternatives
-OLED CARE: Not a problem for some who take care of their gadgets and tech properly, as well as the features asus provides for oled care, but still worth mentioning. If you fear OLED burn-in and do not like dealing with the hassle of proper consistent care, I do not recommend this monitor.
-OLED PWM Sensitivity: again not a deal breaker for the majority of people, but just keep this in mind if you are susceptible to symptoms of PWM on display electronics.
-Max Brightness: Full Window at ~250 nits, enough for low light or dark rooms, peaks ~1000 nits @2% window with the right settings.
-Text Fringing: not a huge deal given the size and resolution, but still worth mentioning, especially for productivity work.
Overall, if you are a hardcore gamer that wants the best visuals, gaming experience, as well as the best monitor you can buy for the money, I highly recommend it! WOLED technology has gotten a lot better in recent years, and it's great to see massive improvement when it comes to burn-in defects. However, it's still a potential problem and this monitor like most is still susceptible to it. It's also a $1000, definitely be aware and don't be abusive with it. With that said though, if you put yourself in the right mindset like using screen saver and using neo proxy the monitor comes with, keep all oled preventative features turned on, slowly work on habit building like when to use HDR for console gaming and desktop use, and treating the monitor well through thoughtful treatment and respect, you will not have to worry about burn-in anytime soon.
***UPDATE*** (12/21/25)
Make sure to update your monitor's firmware from MCM101 to MCM103. I used the USB-C to laptop method. Fixes the visual static noise issues on my monitor when HDR is enabled, now works flawlessly.

★★★★★Beautiful monitor!
If you buy this around the lowest price of $799 it’s a steal! Connected it to my new M5 MacBook via OWC Thunderbolt 4 cable and it’s running at constant 165hz with no issues on MacOS Tahoe! The screen is absolutely beautiful! Way better than my old Samsung M80C monitor! Very bright and vivid once you dial in the right settings! Build quality is great and the controls are very easy to navigate! It’s nice and versatile that I can also connect my PS5 Pro to it as well and switch between those two devices seamlessly!

★★★★★Trueblack WOLED
The media could not be loaded. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/C1oTJVQ1LCL.mp4 https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NKt2xgY9L._SY256.jpg Edit: one week of ownership after purchasing from Amazon Used official and I have the worst screen retention I have ever seen on a display. No amount of pixel cleaning or firmware updates have been able to resolve. The screen expensive, you’d expect way more quality for the money you spend.
Wow.. the screen is beautiful. Identical to my LG C1 that I purchased off Amazon a few years back. The quality and functionality is already apparent. You have many options to flip thru and there is even a widget you can download to play with all your settings. I think this is the perfect size monitor an it weights close to nothing. The base however is a little heavy and you want that to anchor your monitor down. Gaming is next level also, everything looks so crispy. I would recommend. I was on the fence about which monitor I wanted until I came across this one. WOLED has some benefits that I appreciate. Colors look vibrant and refresh rates are up there for gaming consoles.

★★★★★My first OLED
This is a lovely viewing OLED for those who want crisp true black image and clarity for a smaller form factor. It's bright, crisp fast and looks marvelous for my games. But what i bought it for was movies on my computer, and there is no more bloom, no fades and rough outlines of my older IPS and VA panel monitors. It's a decent size screen for desks with good power, and crisp clear visuals, and a nice light weight. Good options for HDMI, Displayport, headphones or speakers, and a few USB connections.
