Perfect

Simply perfect! No IPS glow even in the dark, no dead pixels after 2 months of use, this evolution of the VG27AQ is a real satisfaction. I'm coming from TN panels, I was bluffed by the fidelity of the colours, I highly recommend it. The screen is quite nice, modern and efficient, the stand is stable and can be mounted very easily without screws or screwdrivers. Although the instructions indicate a maximum resolution in WQHD, I see that it is possible under Windows and in games to go up to 4K, not yet tried though.

Pixelminator

I wish I could have given a better rating to this screen that I had bought with LDLC's 0 dead pixel guarantee. Unfortunately, after multiple tests and returns, it was impossible for me to get a flawless copy: each of them contained one or more, sometimes even many dead pixels, not to mention the important light leaks on each corner. I could briefly try this screen in game and it seemed to me absolutely great from this point of view, the colours, the fluidity brought by the official G-sync compatibility and even the not at all bad contrast are big assets that can't be taken away from it, but its manufacturing defects and the obviously catastrophic quality control of Asus come to spoil everything. I can't recommend this screen despite my very good experiences with Asus in the past, this time it's a no go. Fortunately, LDLC's 0 dead pixel guarantee and the professionalism of their after-sales service allows me to choose another screen as a replacement, if however you order this one, I highly recommend this additional guarantee to avoid bad surprises but be prepared to potentially send your screen back several times...

        Overall satisfied

        Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. A little bit of IPS Glow but it's still acceptable, it's mostly visible on loading screens or other. In games, the first few hours, I notice it in the lower right and left corners, I don't even notice it anymore. I seem to have fallen quite well.
        The colours are good, it's not surprising when you go from an old screen to a new one, but the contrast is limited, dark scenes are... very dark, but that's the fault of IPS panels.

        Nice picture and nice screen but not always practical.

        No problems with the picture.
        The contrast is a bit strange at times but a refresh from the pc fixes the problem. Maybe it's the PC.
        The backwards adjustments are not practical when you have 2 screens.

        good quality screen

        It is a very good screen, I went from full hd 24 inches 60 hz to 27 inches 2k 170 hz effectively it changes! the display of colours are very beautiful, no defect of display type leakage of light or remanence or others and the screen adjusts in all the directions! for the fast games no problem of display, all the cables are provided with this screen brief I am very happy with this choice

        Superb screen

        Good design, good images. Good QHD screen for video games, very smooth. Also great for high resolution photos and movies and still great for working on editing software (videos/photos). Etc........

        Attention

        Response time mprt 1ms.
        Response time gtg 4.5 ms...

        So if you get this monitor you are going to buy a 4.5ms screen and not a 1ms screen don't be fooled.

        A compromise between fluidity and quality

        I've been using this screen for two months with an RTX 2070S and I'm very happy with the results! QHD is a big improvement over full HD and still very smooth on all the games I've tested. Racing games at 100+ FPS in QHD in particular are very nice!
        The image quality is also top notch with a well distributed backlight, HDR that gives a real life to the images and very well rendered colours.
        A bit expensive, but worth its weight in peanuts!

        Almost perfect

        I had been looking to replace my old 27" 1080p 60Hz screen for a while and the choice was tough.
        I had seen the previous version but too much bad feedback on the panel so I preferred to wait.
        After receiving this new version, the design is really top notch, it changes the square foot of the first version.
        I have a very small light leakage in the corners but it's hardly noticeable even in a dark room. The colours are really intense but it lacks a bit of brightness (hence the half star).
        No dead pixels when I unpacked it, to be seen in the weeks to come (I took the 0 pixel guarantee which I recommend)
        G-Sync recognized without any worries and activated together with ELMB + OC at 170Hz.
        OS very intuitive and easy to configure.
        The 1440p is a very good alternative to 4K for gaming knowing that 4K is still too greedy on most games.
        Coupled with an i9 9900k and an RTX 2080ti and it's the best.
