Review: Fear Burn-in?! READ THIS - Best Image Settings I Found for peak brightness and optimal OLED care : 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.
Review: Excellent display...no issues and looks great. - Not a gamer so really don't have anything to share on that. However, this thing looks great. Colors are vibrant and sharp, the resolution makes text easy to read. Been working quite well and better than the previous Asus display I had. I tried to order a 2nd one this same size (28") but that doesn't seem to be available any longer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make sure you have Firm Ware Version MCM106
*by J***N on November 13, 2025*

I got this at a nice discount because I bought a 'returned' monitor. After hooking it up I was less then happy with the way it looked. it was pretty awful. washed out and red to the red orange scale. My first thought was I'd be returning it as well. Thankfully I checked for Firmware updates first. It was on firmware 105 Update 106 was available. I downloaded and installed it. Easy peasy. Bam! The monitor was fixed. I'm a big fan of Asus. Been buying their MB's for years. since like 1995. I don't know what was going on in their heads to ship this monitor as it was. I suppose someone, maybe even me could have figured out how to fix it in the control panel without the update. Thankfully I did not have to fiddle with that. Downloading and installing MCM106 Fixed it. Hint - it is very easy to install if you have taken the time to run a USB cable from the back of the monitor to your computer. The install directions tell you to make a USB drive with the install file on it and then plug that into your monitor. Which I was getting ready to do. 1st had to find one I could clean as they wanted no other files on it. While working on that the monitor installed 106 on its own. So my only downside Is the previous owner registered it before sending it back so when I went to register it I was told it was already registered. So no 3 year warrenty. Hopefully nothing goes wrong but I would like to have it show when I go to Asus and log in along with my previous MB's and the one I just bought and my new asus graphics card.
