I've only had this monitor for 3 days, so these are my experience from 3 days with the monitor.This is by far the largest monitor I've ever had personally, a 31.5 inch display is massive compared to a 24, or even a 27 inch display. The extra screen space provided by a 2560x1440 monitor is massive, and quite substantial for work flow/gaming/general use. The pixel quality/density is strong, I don't feel like the pixels are giant like I've seen on some monitors in stores/demos, but maybe someone has considerably better eyes than I do would be able to point that out.As for colour, this is a very vibrant monitor with a large gamut of options available to play with. I will state that I do not like ANY of the presets that came with the monitor, and very quickly opted for a "User Settings" option which allowed to me to customize this to my satisfaction, once I had done that I was very satisfied with the colours/brightness of the image.The monitor has an excellent refresh rate, looks crisp and clean playing videos. The monitor is fairly responsive in gaming situations. I went from an ASUS VG248QE, which has a 1ms response time to this monitor with a reported response time of 4ms. I cannot say that I've noticed a difference, it is a subliminal level of difference and something that I might pick up over time, however as all I've really done on this monitor to this point is play competitive games I feel I can safely say that the difference between 4ms, and 1ms, is not something that will effect your performance in a game unless you're already playing at the upper echelons of what anyones skill can play at.Overall, I would say I have three issues with this monitor, but they do not detract from it's impressiveness in my mind.Issue #1: The stand is not the most aesthetically pleasing stand, it's far too "Gamer" quality and aesthetic. I will admit it is at the very least a very sturdy stand.Issue #2: The monitor did not come with a display port cable. It came with a mini-display port, not a huge deal, but kind of silly. I spent this kind of money, you might as well give me both, no?Issue #3: The monitor when plugged in via USB extender, and via Displayport-Mini will appear in your computers "Playback devices", despite not actually being a source of audio. The monitor requires a 3.5mm audio cable to provide audio, that's not a problem, I'm not bothered by that. I am bothered by it appearing in my "Playback devices" as a default device despite not being capable of producing audio without said cable plugged in, which also did not come with the monitor.

Got this monitor for sale on Black Friday. Had very high ratings across many sites. I was previously gonna 24 inch screen so the size was an adjustment at first but only took a few days. 1440p looks beautiful and definitely a sweet spot for gaming. The curve gives great depth and provides some immersive gameplay. Overall, very solid monitor and a big upgrade for anyone currently on 1080p. I have a gtx 1070ti and most games maxed out (minor tweaks) I get a minimum 70fps + @1440p. I'd say my gpu is on the lower end now for 1440p gaming so it is something to consider when buying this screen.

Red backlighting is cool, not sure if that color option is changeable because I havn't tried. The red is a perfect for for my new PC rig, which is red also. Refresh rates are perfect. The curve is barely noticeable which is a positive for me personally. The monitor options are easy to get to on the back, right off to the side about 1 inch from the corner.The mount is solid and the monitor can damn near do a 180 swivel and be slid vertically up and down the mount for perfect eye level settings.It's just a great monitor.

If you already have a decent 1440p monitor, I would reconsider purchasing it.It's a good monitor. But it wasn't as big of an upgrade as people had led me to believe. It is 144Hz with adaptive sync, but the panel they use is a little worse than the monitor I had. There were no glaring technical issues. No stuck/dead pixels or massive light bleed, it just wasn't a big improvement for what I use it for.UPDATE - After several weeks of owning this monitor horizontal lines have begun appearing, distorting the bottom of the picture. For almost $700 U.S, I would expect it to have lasted longer than 3 months.Now I know that not everybody has QC issues like this, and I'm going to bet that ASUS will replace my monitor with a new one, but I'm not sure I want to take the chance that I'll just get another defective one. It's really rolling the dice here.If I could simply get a refund from Amazon at this point, I would.UPDATE #2 - So ASUS has informed me they will be sending me "another same model monitor" to replace the malfunctioning one. I'll update one I've gotten the replacement.UPDATE #3 - So ASUS after much "encouragement" sent me a replacement, and all was well until the same exact thing started happening AGAIN about a week ago. It's a little slightly higher up, but the same thing, Horizontal lines appearing in the display. I'll not bother contacting ASUS again on this matter, as I don't trust they will resolve the issue. It sucks to lose the $600+ on this, but lesson learned.
