1.0 out of 5 starsWorst monitor experience ever DO NOT BUY. Piece of junk moneysink. ASUS RMA is terrible
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2022
This was my first 4k monitor and man where do I begin. The fact that it's so slow, I thought all 4k monitors were like this, turns out, after calling support after putting out with it for so long, turns out it's defective, and that a lot of people were saying this monitor sucks. Even in the comments.
The monitor is so slow that even if it's the only monitor plugged in, it gets stuck in No Signal then turns off, even though it works if other monitors are placed. It's so slow it does not see the BIOS POST, it's ridiculous.
In addition, it flickers when used with drawing programs. It turns off and on non-stop from time to time, or when the GPU is being used (while rendering and such and gaming.) This happened a while later after I was not able to fully return, this made me so mad that I spent about $1000 on this useless piece of junk.
The monitor is so bad to the point where sometimes it just blurts out static noise from the speaker, you have to manually disable it from the settings.
The monitor's colors are kinda off as well, my other monitors are more vibrant and red, this is yellow.
It wakes up from sleep so slow to the point, all my windows get scaled down and small and scatter to my other monitors.
The monitor is so bad to the point where, if you idle, or your computer goes to sleep, it shuts down, and you have to MANUALLY turn the damn monitor on by pressing the power button, sometimes several times, because it decides that there is no signal, mind you the cables are sturdy and they WORK, it is NOT a cable issue.
Overall this piece of junk was the worst moneysink ever. I even sent it over to support, they told me to not use the original box, because it'll get lost, so I had to pay $55 for FedEx to get an uneven box to put the monitor in and fill it in with bubble wrap. Total waste of money.
Then the RMA support comes and tells me there's physical damage, EVEN THOUGH I had to WRITE AND SUBMIT a damn report of WHAT'S WRONG with the damn defective unit, and they ignored it and told me there's physical damage on the screen, and it'll cost a whopping $460 to fix it, plus $20 shipping (I thought THEY were paying that) and plus $60 for labor...
This was the worst monitor I've ever had, never ASUS again, worst experience, I've never seen a monitor so damn slow to the point it behaves like a toaster compared to other monitors and don't give me "oh it's 4k, it's slow" I'd expect MORE from a damn $1000 monitor.
Don't waste your money on this garbage.
