Even Windows is so much nicer at 144hz.Īlso, one little quirk with this screen is that in HDR mode it defaults to a contrast of 90. I had only ever owned 60hz displays before, and the jump to 144hz and above (assuming you have the graphics card to power it) is truly amazing. This isn't noticeable in actual real world use, but I imagine I might notice it during a very dark section of a movie.Īnd finally GSync is pretty damn amazing.

When I look at a full screen of black, I can see a lighter patch in the middle of the screen. Thirdly, backlight uniformity isn't great. A nice little bonus, especially if you have a second device plugged in through HDMI which needs audio out. This is listed as a headphone socket, but is fine for powering speakers too. Secondly, this monitor includes an audio DAC and has a 3.5mm audio jack. There are few upcoming HDR games this year which I expect will also impress - Doom Eternal, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and Cyberpunk. Monster Hunter World, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I went through a good selection of games in Steam and GamePass, and here are a few real HDR ultrawide standouts - Jedi Fallen Order, Gears of War 5, Metro Exodus, Forza Horizon 4, GRID, Shadow Warrior 2, Windows itself is also a little too bright with HDR on, even with the HD colour settings tweaked as much as possible, but if you turn it off, as well as losing HDR in some games, you also lose the ability to play HDR video. If you run some SDR games with HDR turned on, they're a blown out incredibly bright mess. If you don't have HDR turned on then some games will assume you have an SDR display and won't switch to HDR mode. Other things to note - Firstly, HDR in Windows is still a bit of a mess. Finally I was concerned over this being a VA panel, but as long as I sit in the sweet spot, right in front of the screens, it's again, a non issue. Mostly though, it's another non issue and can't be seen. I also see it on HUD elements in dark sections of games. In exists, and if I move my mouse pointer around on a black background then I can see the haloing. This is a glow which can be seen around bright things on a dark background and the FALD brightens the backlight. I can sometimes hear it a little, but it's essentially a non issue. On the Asus though, the fan is virtually silent, even when gaming. I had read the horror stories of the sister panel to this, the Predator X35 with its noisy fan randomly spinning up. FALD panels run hot and need fans to keep them cool. It's too bright at times, in all honesty, but that's a nice problem for an HDR display to have.Īs this isn't an OLED, I knew there would however be some caveats, and having read many reviews of this before buying I knew what to look for. Unlike an OLED, there's no ALB (automatic brightness limiter), so large areas of 1000nit white can fill the screen without the panel going into panic mode and reducing the brightness. I immediately saw near OLED levels of contrast, deep saturated colours, and searingly bright whites.

The moment I fired up a game on this Asus, the difference was, to say the least, astounding. The Dell was 300nits of dull, lifeless, washed out flatness, capable of turning even the most dynamic of games something uninspiring. My points of comparison are my old first generation Dell ultrawide for which this was the replacement, and my LG OLED in the living room. (at least until the MiniLED panels arrive later this year) On paper, this should be as good as it currently gets on a PC.

This true HDR, the real deal, and nothing like the phoney 300-400nit 'HDR' with no local dimming HDR on so many PC displays. The headline specs - 1000nits of brightness, 512 zones of FALD local dimming, 200hz refresh, and G-Sync.
