Excellent choice. High quality, well priced!
I’m switching from 2021 Sam sung 4k 28″ monitors that both failed right after the warranty expired. I’ve always had good luck with Asus products, so I chose to go back to Asus on my monitors as well. No regrets with buying two of these to replace them! 1st improvement is that these do not have wall warts or power supply bricks, so cabling was a breeze with the standard PC 3-pin power cables. 2nd feature I like is the super thin, almost frameless design. While the viewable size isn’t the size of the actual display when off, it adds for a sleek look, especially when running two side-by-side. The image quality is excellent, brightness is good, and response time is perfect. I have a gaming PC connected to both, A PS5 to one, and a Raspberry Pi 4 and MS Surface connected to the other. The monitors transition seamlessly from one input to the other as things are powered on.. a feature with my Sam sungs that was a pain because I had to cycle inputs manually behind the monitors. The stand has 4 screws holding it in that can be used for the VESA mounting which is a great design. Last but not least, these have a gaming mode.. so playing hardcore in COD, the displays have a customizable and adjustable on-screen sight to assist. Love it!

Size, Clarity, and Versatility
When it comes to functionality and performance, this 38″ 4K Asus monitor offers a lot to love. Designed to cater to work, gaming, and creative needs, it brings an array of features to elevate your digital experience.Readability is a standout feature; the clarity of text is remarkable. If spreadsheets and articles are part of your daily grind, your eyes will be in for a treat.Color accuracy is another high point. Creative professionals and color aficionados will find this monitor meets their expectations.A word about screen size and distance: at 38 inches and best viewed from 2-3 feet away (approximately 60-90 cm), this is about the largest screen that’s comfortably usable at 4K resolution.The IPS panel does show some minor corner glow on darker scenes, but this is unlikely to interfere with your day-to-day activities.As for HDR, it’s more of a checkbox feature. While it’s there and technically functions, don’t expect it to be the star of the show. Consider it a “nice-to-have” rather than a game-changer.Where compatibility is concerned, the 16:9 aspect ratio with 4K resolution is spot-on. Need to downscale to 1080p for graphically demanding games? No problem—everything scales smoothly, sans glitches.For gamers, the Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) options are a boon. With G-Sync compatibility included, the monitor promises smoother gameplay whether you’re using high-end Nvidia and AMD cards or modern consoles like the Xbox Series X and Sony PlayStation 5.One more perk for those worried about the longevity of their screens: this monitor doesn’t suffer from the image burn-in risks that you might associate with OLED technology.While the monitor has 5W speakers and USB connections, consider these features the cup holders of this technological “sports car”—nice to have but not why you made the purchase.Now, if there’s a chink in the armor, it’s the lack of deep blacks that OLED technology offers. While the monitor excels in many areas, if you’re seeking OLED-level blacks, this isn’t the screen for you.In summary, this 38” 4K Asus monitor is a nearly perfect blend of size, clarity, and versatility. If you’re eyeing an upgrade, it comes highly recommended.

Amazing monitor, though I did return
This monitor is absolutely fantastic. The colors pop at 10bit 4k HDR. It didn’t have any backlight bleed. The matte screen eliminates reflections. Text is razor sharp. Stand is solid, though I mounted mine on a desk clamp monitor arm. The remote is awesome and I wish it were a standard feature for gaming monitors. The OSD has a ton of options to adjust the color mode, aspect ratio, etc. It’s the perfect monitor… except for my use case, it’s too big. I have a 30″ deep desk and even with it pushed to the back of my desk using a monitor arm (which you can do as the monitor includes stand-off hardware that gave me even more depth), it was too much for my 90/10 productivity-to-gaming usage ratio; I developed eye strain. If I had a 40″ deep desk I could’ve probably managed. Or if I primarily used it for gaming, I could’ve sat back w/ a controller. It just wasn’t practical for me and it’s a real shame because I really enjoyed it otherwise.

Sets the bar high.
This is a quality monitor that’s very thin and light weight. It has excellent performance and superb colors. It’s a perfect size monitor for gaming or everyday use, it sets the bar high. With this purchase you won’t have to upgrade for a very long time so the value is perfect.

Dont know what to think.
It’s a good monitor. Vibrant colors. 4k resolution. 144 hz with 1ms response time. If you’re going from 1440p to 4k you wont see a big jump like 1080p to 2k. My only gripe is HDR. Whenever I turn it on, the colors seem more dull even though I’ve tried calibrating the settings. My biggest gripe is when I’m gaming on the Xbox Series X it seems like the video input is constantly changing when going from in game to the home screen instead of a smooth transition between game and home menu. The screen will flash black as if it were changing video input signals and does the same when going back to in game. Is this what HDR suppose to do? I don’t see how anyone would be OK with this. It also makes loading longer than it should. Due to this, I just leave HDR off as it looks better without imo. Not sure if it’s the XBOX series X doing this or the monitor.

Primero creo que en relación a otros monitores 4K el precio/calidad es bastante conveniente. Hice el cambio de un 1080 hdmi 2.0 y la diferencia fue el día y la noche, el HDR se sincronizó automáticamente con mi PS5 en resumen una excelente opción si buscas mejorar tu monitor.

Excelente respuesta, muy rápido, con buena fluidez. Lo uso para jugar en PS5 y el rendimiento es de otro nivel… En resumen es un monitor que ofrece precisión y alta calidad de imagen.MUY RECOMENDABLE!

Check all the right boxes for me:- Large 16:9 format- Non-OLED, so no burn-in- Non-OLED, so BRIGHT even with 100% white- 4K- 144hz- RBG sub-pixel layout so PERFECT text claritySure it’s not “inky black” like OLED but considering I don’t need to worry about OLED-specific nonsense like burn-in or ABSL, I’m perfectly OK with the black level of IPS. Beyond this, everything else is perfect. Colours are rich, whites are bright, above avg refresh rate, VRR, clear text.10/10.

Whether exploring open worlds, engaging in fast-paced shooters, or enjoying a visually stunning game, this monitor will deliver in spades. 100% recommended!

You should buy this one, it’s best for the price. Try using SVP software, it made my monitor look 10 times better after adjusting brightness, contrast & saturation settings in my media players (you also need to setup the proper codecs in media players or HDR will not work at all, google how to get your media players to work with SVP to get HDR to work… mine wasn’t even working even though I thought it was). I seek through the video to a dark spot and set your brightness, contrast and saturation in the media player there. After this, the darks and brights are so unbelievably awesome because there is 60 times more color than SDR, and the rest of the colors makes a difference too. I never had a clue it could look this good!! Use the DisplayPort Cable they give you in the box (it is superior to hdmi). Also, make sure you go Windows > Settings > System > HDR Option (turn on), and click above that option for more HDR options. There, the windows “HDR/SDR brightness balance” slider controls the SDR still visible (only the HDR pictures and videos can be HDR, so the rest is SDR, and therefore that slider does not affect the HDR at all.Change settings in monitor before switching to HDR mode in Windows, because you cannot change any monitor settings in HDR mode. (choose different modes in “GameVisual” category, I think Cinema Mode and Racing Mode or something allows you to change brightness, contrast, and even saturation.)After that, you never would have guessed it could make such a difference! Just remember to turn the HDR back off and on.Also, it literally gives off any heat at all somehow even though it’s so huge and powerful! It even has cheesy speakers don’t expect much there though haha.The DisplayPort cord they gave stopped working (or something? idk haha) It’s just a cheap cord, you should buy a good one!Overall, since I always use headphones, not the speakers, I give this monitor 10 out of 10 in everything else.
