    I was reading all the positive reviews and I decided to get it as my main monitor for gaming. Now that I have received I wouldve rated it 1/2 star or even zero if I could. It had the advertisement of 120 refresh rate (hertz) is completely untrue. This is a normal 60 hertz monitor and I would not recommend for gaming. When I first turned on the monitor I instantly noticed a significant difference within the color of the monitor. The color display is extremely whitewashed as presented in the photos I uploaded. Yes, I tried calibrating the monitor it just would not go to the normal colors of a monitor and even tried switching from a normal hdmi cable to a hdmi to displayport cable and still did not do the trick.

    I’m not sure where all the good reviews come from on this monitor aside from the price. I bought it as a second for chat and and web browsing while gaming and any angle makes it impossible to see. The second star is only because it was cheap and usable but I barley, my eyes stress while using it

    I tried it on my 1070 and my laptop 740m along with updated drivers, HDMI 2.1 and anything it could possibly be. It is a misprint. I also bought it from J-Electronics and their service is as bad as you can tell when they dont respond to anything. I tried to cancel and then after Ive bought it, am having a hard time returning. Moral of the story is, I am A+ certified and know computers pretty well so believe me when I say that it is bunk. Its also super bright and makes things look worse than on my DVI display

    I bought a similarly priced/similarl spec asus monitor back in 2013 ($90, 1080p, 1ms response). I accidentally broke the screen, so i needed to replace it. I mistakenly believed, that this monitor would be aproximately the same.... BOY WAS I WRONG!!! where can i start? how about the only good thing: LATENCY: This is literally, the only thing i look for when buying a gaming monitor... thats why i bought the 2013 ASUS, and thats why i bought this one. this thing is fast and responsive, and it feels good playing on it. same deal as the 2013. Manufacturers never actually specify input latency, but you can usually deduce it from the pixel response time and the refresh rate. This monitor has a very respectable 1 ms/75 hz... and as expected, there is no perceptible input lag, even when playing fast action games from the 80s and 90s on FPGA hardware. --- Thats it for the good news... read on for the abysmal everything else: VIEWING ANGLE: so, the viewing angle is bad from left to right... but its SO BAD from top to bottom, that its impossible to position my head properly so that i can see an even picture from top to bottom. Its absolutely pathetic. It would suck trying to play local multiplayer on this junk. Ive never seen a worse viewing angle on any display, ever... maybe an original Gameboy, or something like that is worse. Im not exaggerating at all. By comparison, my 2013 asus had a viewing angle over 170 degrees. BRIGHTNESS: well... i mean... its fairly bright if you are looking right at it, but it just looks washed out. Again, im comparing it to my 2013 model which was EXTREMELY bright. COLOR: the colors are nowhere near accurate, but only an idiot would buy a $100 and expect an accurate color reproduction. to compare it to my 2013 asus, the colors on that panel were overly bright and saturated, but it looked great for gaming... the colors on this panel are washed out and lack contrast. It just looks awful. AUDIO: it has speakers, but they are, again, complete garbage... this is normal (and at least it has speakers)... but there is no way to connect external speakers or headphones if you are using HDMI. What the....? Oh, and get this... there are no volume controls... you have to use the awkward button interface to navigate to a THIRD LEVEL MENU TO ADJUST THE VOLUME!!!! What the...? Ive never seen anything like it in my life. CONNECTIONS: There are 3 connections hdmi, vga + audio in. I havent used the VGA yet, but i will check it out in a day or two. Im not even gonna bother with the audio in. if you are using VGA, plug your audio into literally ANYTHING else, and it will be better than this. By comparison, my 2013 Asus had 2 HDMI ports, one VGA port, and both audio in and audio out (which doubled for headphone output). It even had dedicated volume controls!!! What the...? -- BOTTOM LINE: This company has created a product which obviously neither the designers nor the quality assurance team cared about. If you need a gaming monitor with a fast response time, and you can overlook the TERRIBLE everything else, this might be an ok monitor for you if you can get it for under 100 dollars... (and you cant find anything else at that price point) otherwise... you should buy literally anything else. Ive never seen a worse monitor. Maybe try something from Sceptre, Acer, or LG if you are looking for a cheap gaming monitor.

    We bought this as a second monitor because its the newer version of our other Asus monitor. We were expecting them to be pretty close to the same. Its crap. The picture quality is so low, I hope you dont need to read anything small on it. Everything is fuzzy and grainy and its so dim- and thats on the best setting I could get it on. I wish I hadnt destroyed the box or I would be trying to return it. But its under $100 you say? Yeah and its worth about $20. If you have no monitor and HAVE to get something cheap, still look for other options first.

    My screen came with a horrible yellow tint, that made any whites look dirty yellow. after playing with the RBG settings for over 3 hours, resetting to defaults at least twice, and making sure the blue light reduction was off, i still couldnt get rid of the yellow tint unless i made my screen look incredibly washed out. Either solution using the screen pretty bad, will be returning and would not recommend at all. its also not 120 hz as advertised.

    It is definitely white washed viewing and playing with the contrast etc didnt work. It will work for my needs for the time being. had to buy a vga cable for it as it didnt come with one.

    monitor looks dark from angles to the point where you can barely see anything. I use this as a second monitor and I have tried to improve the colors and display settings but this monitor is a waste of money. Id spend a little more money to get something better. I will be returning this.
