I'll be brief, as I'm typing this on my phone.
The monitor itself, the specs and the perceived build quality is excellent out of the box. It's immersive. But that's about it.
I've followed this with interest for nearly 8 months. But the smearing on this monitor is unbearable, even when tuning it with many different profiles. If playing a slow paced game, you'll get a motion blur effect. But if you're doing anything that has an inkling of speed, it'll be like someone put vasoline on your monitor. This persisted across 4 DP cables that have the bandwidth to drive this. I started to get motion sick from this.
Even worse, there's a quarter-sized 'shadow' in the lower left quadrant. It's fairly centered and took me a few days to notice it, but once I did it's impossible to ignore. It's only really noticeable when viewing on a light blue screen (like a sky box) and when the camera is moving. I attached a video and it's hard to see it but it looks like a smudge. It's burnt in. No amount of screen scanning or other fixes resolved it.
In a monitor this expensive, I can't believe this passed the uniformity tests. Save your money and continue to wait if the size is what you wanted. Maybe even wait until a different manufacturer has a go. But with these panels coming from AUO, it's unlikely different brands will fair much better. It's a shame buying monitors nowadays requires such a time premium in terms of research and exchanges to get something that actually works.
Update: The whole right side of the monitor also flickers depending on the colors that show. You can reliably make this happen if you have a white browser window open, then minimize it to a darker hue. It will flicker for 10 seconds. Persists across different cables.
Unbelievable. See video for demonstration of both the issues I've outlined.

Box arrived badly hit on the side...when picture was taken as prove that it was left in front of my door, the hit side was hidden...This is a Prime product...was it shipped and handled by Amazon? I doubt it, in 5 years with Amazon something like this had never happened...still...the monitor came damaged on the side...how stupid! An over $1000 destroyed and left in front of my door as if nothing had happened! I was sorely disappointed.
---------------Update Nov. 12, 2019---------------
As I called two weeks ago on a Saturday I was promised that I would have someone pick it up on Sunday and that by Monday I would have a replacement.
Relieved I ended the call and did not think much of it. I received no confirmation email. Called again, another agent said that I would get the confirmation 3 hrs later...still no confirmation, called again...explained to another representative and then I asked for a supervisor, explained part of the problem again.
Supervisor was extremely nice. Explained I would not have the monitor picked up on a Sunday but on Monday, and that there are no replacements, and nothing on the warehouse to sell me. Fully refunded...still in process...a week after that I noticed the monitor back...ordered it.
Box came perfect, I even saw the handlers who gave me the new monitor with a big smile. Unpacked and I am using it as I type...still I have a new problem...the screen constantly goes off and on for like a second or two...why is this happening? My other Asus and an LG monitors in my office do not go off...why is this one going off? It seems to me something to do with the static...If I am wearing a robe with much static it will go on and off some 20 times until I lose it, turn it off, and remove all my clothes to be able to use it...this monitor is either sadistic or I am the biggest unluckiest shopper right now...what will I do?
I will call technical support, if it does not work, I return it and maybe...maybe...order a third one just in case...there...it just went off twice...anyways... In the end...I want to keep it, it is beautiful, the settings are hard to follow and the pixels are not as perfect and crisp as they should be, but it is not that bad either, the 43" is something I am used with now...if I end up giving up on this beautiful monitor, I will have to find another brand that is about this size and can actually ... work...
Stay tuned, next update coming up...one start added, let us hope Amazon can help me keep it.
--------------Updated Feb. 23, 2020---------------
I got a third one. No cracks...no scratches...trust me...I tried to find a new reason to get upset but Amazon was so good this time! No flickering, no screen leaking...I have gotten this one since December and I love it...gaming and programming is awesome. Amazon prime redeemed itself!

Winner winner chicken dinner! This thing is awesome! Everyone saying the text sucks or whatever, you can spend 2 minutes and make a few adjustments and it's clear as day. Some things need adjustments color etc. A fast Google and you can find the right settings. But once you take the 5 minutes it's absolutely beautiful. 4k 120hz 4.4.4 is just fantastic! Just hard to find this in stock anywhere. I haunted the Amazon app twice a day and sometimes it just pops up in stock. Glad I got one! Don't listen to all those damn monitor snobs out there! It's awesome!

TLDR; The default settings for this monitor need to be changed, because, out of the box its not that great. The terrible BGR pixel format nearly ruins what could be a perfect product. Despite those things, after using TFTCentral's setup guide I'm happy with the product overall.
I'm very pleased to finally have a legitimate gaming monitor this large with such impressive specs. 43" seems just about right for 4k @ 100/125% scaling in windows.
That being said, the BGR pixel format of this display was a poor design choice. We have all grown accustomed to various RGB layout screens, so when you first turn this monitor on at default settings the picture is terrible. Text is noticeably blurry for desktop / productivity use and the FPS gaming experience is not that great either. There is a very high level of ghosting particularly with dark colors (While playing Borderlands 3 i felt like i was drunk).
Its not all bad news though! After doing a bit of hunting around, TFTCentral did a great write up on this monitor. I highly recommend reading the article, grabbing their icc profile and using the monitor settings they recommend. It significantly improves the usability of this monitor in all aspects. After tweaking the settings, Gaming is great!, desktop use is acceptable, but a far cry from an IPS display.

I was waiting for this monitor since it was announced. I had a 43 inch Acer that it replaced and I have to say, I do like it a lot. The packaging it came in was some of the best I have seen, even better than my Samsung QLED TV .
The build quality is top notch. Very nice and sturdy stand. I have wall mounted mine so it does have VESA capability. I didn't install the ROG LED but I like the fact that its not hard mounted and you can place it wherever you would like. The biggest issue I have experienced is running games at 4k HDR. At 120 hz you will need to replace your cables. I had to do a firmware update to my 10 series 1080ti sli setup and that really didn't even help much. Flickering and crashing happens constantly. I have to stick to 100hz. Maybe when I upgrade in the future to the 20 or 30 series I will utilize this better for PC.
I also use this as a mini TV for my PS4 PRO and X1X. It works great with consoles. PS4 looks amazing, I am unsure if they do HDR different but the coloring doesn't look nearly as washed out as X1X or PC. At least in RDR2. I haven had the chance to test a wide range of games yet.
I did have to fine tune the color and motion settings as there is some ghosting if you turn the OD up too far. I was able to get mine to level 4 without seeing too many issues. I know there were some negative reviews for input lag but honestly I haven't noticed a difference between this or my other monitors I have used in the past. (Samsung CHG90, Acer Predator X34).
The speakers were another great addition. I use this on my PC desk next to a 49 inch ultra-wide monitor so I am very thankful it has decent speakers. I used to use a mini sound bar but these are a way better addition for me. Are they the best speakers? NO. But they do the job nicely and if I want better sound, I just throw on my headset anyways.
All in all I highly recommend this, especially since it's at an "affordable" price point. I was going to buy a TV but I didn't want to spend 1500 and have terrible input lag and glare like crazy. The coating on this panel is very anti glare and doesn't create any grainy like appearance at all, so no worries there.

The monitor looks great except for text. This is due to the BGR layout instead of RGB. You can make it more palatable by adjusting the ClearType in Windows settings.

This is a gaming monitor, so that is what my review is based on. I did my research prior to making this purchase. I am currently using a PS4 pro with a 27" ROG monitor. Which led me to purchasing this larger version.
I went from a 70" LCD tv to the 27" monitor for better response and overall gaming experience. Night and day difference. I have had plasma and lcd, led tv's etc. The price on this vs and OLED tv or QLED tv was in the same ballpark. The one caveat being burn in or picture retention.
I play FPS like COD, Battlefield and currently Apex Legends. HUD in game will burn in because it is static and stays there and with this monitor unlike other options I don't have to worry about that.
Now on to the review. Out of the box it shipped fast arrived undamaged. Took 5 minutes to get it out of the box and set up and running on my stand. I did not Versa mount it as of yet. Fired up the PS4 and spent about 5 minutes tweaking the settings to get a good in game picture quality.Here is where this monitor shines for me. The picture quality is awesome, not quite as bright as my 27", but there is an enhanced feature on this monitor called shadow boost i think, and this makes harder to see areas in game shine while not making the sunlight burn your retinas out of your skull.
I have spent some time with this monitor over the last day or so and the remote comes in handy for switching between video settings and that is about it. I wish it was a more interactive remote that you could control all functions with. That really is my only complaint. I can't speak to the speaker quality as I use a wireless headset. And if I need to say watch a movie with the family I run all of my outside Audio through a Denon receiver and amplifier set up to my surround sound speaker system.
Overall this unit delivers on every visual aspect one could want for console gaming. I hooked my computer up to it as well and it worked well with that as well.
Watching movies through netflix and prime they look fabulous, crisp details true blacks. I am sure movies would look a little better on say an oled tv, but since this was secondary for me the gaming is where it shines. In Apex alone I saw a huge difference, not being blinded by the sun or the ring for that matter yet still being able to see enemies crouching in a corner.
Bottom line if you are on the fence and have a smaller monitor and want to upgrade go for it you will not be disappointed. One of the other selling points is this monitor will be able to run with the next gen consoles as well which is huge right now because I don't want to buy another monitor in a year.
On a side note I am 45 years old so my eyesight is not as good as it used to be, and this monitor makes me feel like a kid again with what I have actually been missing.

I use my monitor for video games, software development, and office work at home.
For gaming, I have had no issues with the monitor. Everything looks great in 4k and runs 120 without much issue. If I focus enough I can tell a difference between this monitor and a TN panel at 144 hz, but it isn't enough to bug me. I would recommend OD level 3, which helped with response time, but minimized ghosting for me.
For software development and office work, having the space of 4k for multiple spreadsheets or an IDE and your program on screen at the same time is a must have. If you've worked with Excel spreadsheets in 120+hz, going back to 60hz hurts.
I'm personally hate the compact design of the monitor's remote. I'm embarrassed to admit it took me way too long to figure out how to get to the actual menu to customize the settings.
At the end of the day, if you want 4k, 120hz, and a big screen, then you won't be disappointed with this. That is my opinion at least.

I had a pair of Philips 40" 4k monitors, and one died. I decided to upgrade slightly on the replacement, so I bought this ASUS. I read all about the BGR sub-pixel layout causing issues, and a whole lot more... but I can tell you, this is by far the best monitor I have used. The text is crisp (I run at native resolution, no scaling), the HDR, although it's only 600, is amazing, and the FreeSync is a great boost to my gaming.
Most reviews call this a gaming monitor, but I use it 10 hours a day as a productivity monitor, and it is SO much better than the other Philips I have, I'm giving away the Philips to get another of these.
Your mileage may vary, but don't be sidetracked by the worrying of some reviewers. Give this a try.

havent had any of the problems people have listed before, almost canceled my order after reading some reviews but then saw how to fix almost all those issues from just googling how to calibrate my color and reading how to turn off the windows text enhancement font.
so far this is one of the best screens i have owned and the best panel of its type i have ever seen.
would always go a panel like this over a oled so you dont get burn in.
so far it gets 135hz when OC maybe i got a good panel iono...

I thought this would be an amazing monitor based on the specs - but I had several issues.
1 - The text readability at full 4K (No scaling) was really bad and blurry. Not terrible for games, but for everyday use - not good.
2 - The image quality is not good at all. First - even on custom settings you cannot get the picture to look natural - it always looks like the Gamma setting is too high - the whole screen has a gray "cloudy" look - either because the View angle is bad, or you just can't get natural looking colors/blacks. The image ghosting looks like a laptop from 1996. It was actually hard to play anything on this screen - even browsing the internet was miserable. I was replacing a 43" Sony XBR 4K (about 3 years old) and this Asus monitor can't even hold a candle to it. Not to mention there is barely any flexibility for inputs and outputs. My TV can only go to 60Hz at 4K, but it looks WAY better. I also get a full android platform as a smart TV on top of being a stellar gaming screen. I'm keeping what I have - no reason to down-grade to a more expensive monitor. I would pass on this one - It's not easy to buy and try this thing - learn from my mistake - and don't even bother.

As good as it gets at the price point... but for it to be easy on the eyes, you absolutely need to be using true HDR display-mode in an operating system that natively supports it, and also 4K scaling.
I initially tried using this monitor on a Windows 7 pc with a GTX 960 and there was no amount of wrangling that could make my viewing experience anything less than visual torture: smeared orange and blue around all the text, cleartype only made some fonts look good while making others into tiny literary needles poking into my ocular nerves, and every contrast ratio I tried was either washed out or baked my retinas until they resembled smoked oysters.
Dropped it on a Windows 10 rig with a 2080 ti, turned cleartype *off*, turned HDR mode in the OS on, scaled windows to 200%, and everything is great. Text adequately sharp, and with HDR enabled, getting the color/contrast ratios looking nice was no more complicated than dragging the sliders around in NVIDIA Control Panel.
Buy only if you have a modern setup; don't buy if you're only looking for a big display.

I was using a 50" TV for a monitor. When it died, I wanted to see what was available in a monitor so I could get away from using TVs. While some TVs are great for this, there are some factors, like input lag, that I wanted to experience from a monitor. This ASUS XG438Q sits very well on my desk with its three point mount. The size, at 43" is quite immersive. The anti-glare screen is great once you get used to it. At first it can seem a little dull compared to when I was using a high-gloss screen but it's still a great picture and having no glare is awesome. The only reason I've given this model 4 starts is because the next version said to be coming out around mid 2020 will be a better monitor. They've improved on this model so I'm unwilling to give the lesser of the two 5 stars.
I do highly recommend this model and can tell you from experience that the size is great. I would not recommend going larger than a 50"-55" display. At 50" I did find myself looking around for the corners of the screen to see a minimap or some other on screen indicator. At 43" I'm not searching for those things as much. I do believe that the sweet spot for monitors will be 45"-48".
The app and the controls for this monitor are great as well. There are a couple of presets and the ability to configure your own settings and save them as a selection in the menu with the presets. It is very customizable.
Of course, without the right video card, you are limited to the capability of the card, so I recommend pairing this monitor with the ASUS ROG Strix 2080 Super. I purchased them together and have zero complaints. You will have to go into the NVidia settings and change it from the default 60hz to the highest option available. If you do not, you will be set to 60hz and capping at 60fps.
This monitor does work with GSync even though it only list FreeSync in the specs.

I'm a bit biased as I moved from a 1440p 34" 60hz panel to what feels like a huge 43" 4k 120hz panel. Games look and feel amazing on it compared to the old monitor. True immersive gaming for the PC gaming crowd. Tested and works on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 systems. Has a plethora of adjustments for color and gaming accuracy. Check out the Level1Techs YouTube channel for a thorough review of the monitor.

Took a chance and purchased it after reading some reviews that weren't too favorable for this big beast but I'm glad I did. Best monitor I've ever owned. I have both the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X hooked up to it and it is highly impressive, hard recommend.

Ужасно
120Hz, 4K, FreeSync 2, HDR....marred by poor black color reproduction. The blacks are so bad, I can’t watch movies on this monitor. Gaming is ok. I’m running a Ryzen 9 3900x, dual Radeon 5700XT, 64GB of RAM, a various NVMe drives. It may be possible that this monitor doesn’t “play” well with Radeon 5700XTs, but that would make the FreeSync 2 feature moot. Maybe I got a bad panel, but, thinking about the size, features, etc. for the price is more the reason. I’ll more than likely replace with an OLED panel. Overall, if you want a large 4K panel, 120Hz, physically appealing at a relatively low cost, this it. If you’re looking for a gaming monitor and a monitor for movies with proper black reproduction, I’d look elsewhere.

Returned this monitor as it is not a competent overall package, Asus should be ashamed of releasing this thing at this price point. The text quality is absolutely terrible even after applying all of the cleartype RGB to BGR "fixes" and pixel format adjustments. The colorshift from 3 feet is so bad it washes out the color around the bezels. Note that these are only problems if you are using this as a primary PC display.
The gaming performance and display quality in games is awesome, the input lag and overall response is worlds better than than my high end 60 hertz 50" QLED TV it is replacing. Would recommend if all you is game on it with a console.
The replacement Acer Predator CG437 I purchased after trying to get the Asus to a usable state is a much better all around PC display with none of issues plaguing the Asus.
If you are using this as a PC display you will need a massive, deep desk

Unit will not even power on, tried multiple outlets that work for everything else just fine, returning for replacement and will change review if I actually get a working monitor
/update/
After receiving replacement monitor, colors are pretty good but HDR is a joke, removed one star due to ASUS only offers settings software no actual drivers for the monitor so windows has to rely on generic driver, and no Gsync compatible certification

The picture quality if amazing. Color is good. Setup takes only takes a minute to do. No dead pixels. I set the text size to 200% in windows. People complained about text at 100% zoom but when it is that small it a letter is like a 1/20 of an inch, it was just to small. The sound quality is pretty good and has some bass to it. I tested the monitor on ps4, Pc(4k 120 fps), and on Switch. All were amazing quality. I had a 32 in 4k 60hz monitor before and this is a huge upgrade. Highly recommend.

Needed a larger do it all monitor for trading and gaming. Moving up from my 27" Dells. This is only a mild sacrifice
in picture quality vs the size increase. I cant recommend FPS games if you are a snob about frame rates.
Colors are decent overall and clarity on trading apps are clear in all areas of the screen!!

Only had this for a couple of days now, but it's been amazing so far. The colors and saturation are washed out from factory, but tft central has a great calibration guide on this monitor. After setting things up correctly, gaming for a few nights, and some regular worksheet projects, I can say it's expensive, but worth the money!
