This monitor is many times better than even the best 1080p screen I've ever owned. It's got great color, amazing blacks, lots of customization in it's settings, and is nice and bright even in a well lit room. I wasn't sure what to expect at it's current price point, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how good of an image it displays and how great my games look on it.It did take me a little bit to find the right color settings to suit the way I like, but even right out of the box it looks good. It's stand is metal, fairly beefy, and not flimsy feeling like most of the other monitors I've had. It does have tilt adjustment but does not have a height adjustment. For me that's not too much of an issue, but I figured I'd mention it.I did a lot of comparison between brands and even models of the same basic screen and this one had more of the things I was looking for in a monitor than it's competition for the price range, and I have to say I'm happy with my purchase.

The media could not be loaded. This is my very first monitor and it’s surprisingly good. I make music, commentaries and i game a lot, so I was in need of a monitor. It takes up a lot of space on my desk, my desk is about 5ft to 6 ft wide. I did a lot of research before I bought it (4 months before I bought it). I was very hesitant because of the price and not a lot videos on YouTube gone in depth about the monitor other than showing gameplay. I wasn’t expecting it to be so big let alone run this well either. Finding a gaming monitor at the moment is hard just because finding a well made monitor that plays and runs most games is somewhat rare. It took no more then 12 hours for it to come in after i purchased it (I have Amazon prime) and the box itself was actually pretty big. Setting everything up was easy and simple.Using it for gaming:There’s a bit of settings and you can play it at native 4k 60hz on the Xbox one x and there’s a major difference with some games like Cod MW (2019) Halo MCC & Halo 5, and any game that plays at 60fps. It may not be a noticeable difference with games that are locked to 30fps, but there is a major difference when playing games at 60. Some games looked better but ran somewhat worse compared to 1080p or 1440p. With the One X you can play some games in HDR and there’s a major difference with HDR and some games looked better with HDR. I’ve seen HDR on 4k tv’s and looked amazing, but being able to use it on a monitor like this was also really surprising. Again not all games on the One X have HDR, but the games that do have HDR ran somewhat better but frames did drop considerably when things picked up in combat. Cyberpunk 2077 while looked better on the One X, ran a lot worse at native 4k and with HDR on. Some parts of cyberpunk were steady and nice, as soon as combat picked up, the games frames would drop. So again it just depends on your settings and what games you play the monitor on.Using it for my Music & commentaries:For the last few weeks I’ve been making music & commentaries on this monitor and my workload had jumped up considerably. I can finally see everything and mix the way I need too. It’s a lot easier for me to see my mixes, I had to get a new keyboard, mouse, and desk mat just for this monitor. My work flow has improved and the monitor goes well with the lights around my studio. I’m getting a gaming computer soon to see how it truly runs, I have laptop at the moment so it runs well but I’m in need of upgrade for a new computer.Final Thoughts:Buy at your own cost. The settings are customizable and it looks good on my Xbox one X, I plan on getting a gaming computer to see how it truly runs. It’s worth the price and ships really fast (if you have Amazon prime). Picture quality is amazing, the brightness is adjustable and it’s really good for gaming. Worth the price!If you have the money, get it, if you game a lot, get it, if you’re in need of good monitor, get it. You can’t go wrong with it. Even after a month, I haven’t had any problems with it. I’ve been using it everyday since I’ve bought it.

this monitor is so much better than my msi one. brighter more crisp pic. clear great build and pic quality. mounted up to my monitor arm with ease. no extra attachments which is good.

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B is a monitor that I’ve been using for quite some time and it has definitely enhanced my setup. It has a 32 inch carbon curved screen with a 1440p resolution. In my eyes, that combination of size and resolution is the best. Clarity of the text is impeccable, sharpness of graphics is very pleasing and there is a lot of screen space without it being overwhelming. It has a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz and combined with a 1ms response time, everything from fast paced games to smoother experiences feels incredible. I primarily play racing and shooter games and the difference in performance when compared to a 60Hz monitor is very noticeable. That smoother performance does wonders with reaction time and overall improves the experience in gaming. The curvature of the monitor is not highly aggressive, it is in fact very subtle but extremely useful for immersion, especially for when you sit right in front of it. It encapsulates your viewpoint to just the right extent to feel more connected and engaged with the on screen actions. Also, there’s the Free-Sync Premium tag, which is carried quite nicely since there’s no tearing or stuttering even when frame rates slightly dip, and there’s the ELMB feature that stands as ELMB is strong, preventing things from becoming blurry during fast movements in scenes with high action. It has speakers built in. Not great, but really not bad at all, especially if you’re not plugging anything else in. That being said, I use a headset most of the time so I don’t really have a use for them. It’s also VESA mountable so that’s cool if you’d like to clear up your desk with an arm mount or just get it off the stand. Well, brightness and color are more than fine for me. It gets plenty bright, and colors look pretty natural to my eye. HDR is supported. It’s not the most amazing HDR I’ve ever seen, but it does improve the look in some games and videos. Don’t expect OLED-level blacks or anything, though. Overall, this thing has been totally worth it. It has everything I look for good image quality, smooth performance, and that little bit of immersion from the curve. If I had to do it all over again, I’d still buy it. No regrets.
