Item has arrived broken. Dead pixels and a section of the left screen a weird grey.
Have contacted ASUS three times now and been messed around by their team being pointed in different directions each time. My return and replace request was denied because I hadn't sent in pictures... despite that I Had already done so.
I'd invited my mother to stay for the day since I was working then specifically to return the item so I was furious when I came home to find they'd cancelled it.

I was so excited for this monitor- and even when it arrived broken was looking forward to getting it traded for a working one. But due to them not pulling their weight after releasing a faulty panel I'm just going to go for a refund instead.
Disappointment.

This monitor is crazy good, but I'd like to explore a few things before making a recommendation.

- The monitor is very large, so make sure you have the space. It takes the entirety of my deck, and the thing is HEAVY so if you're looking at mounting it, it's likely that the majority of mounts won't work.
- There's a lot more games that don't support 32:9 that do, so you will end up playing games with black bars. A large amount of AAA games support 21:9, so you'll still get the ultra-wide experience.
- Get a copy of DisplayFusion Pro; you'll need it. Managing windows to snap into different locations will be difficult without using a software like this. There's a lot of sales on this application, as usually it can cost £30. G2A have licenses for £15.
- Get a hand. Putting this monitor in place is difficult work, so a spare person will help a lot.
- If you're looking at playing games at the ultra-ultra-wide resolution to take full advantage of the screen real estate, understand that it's graphically intensive. I'm currently using a NVIDIA 2070 SUPER, and anything below this would struggle massively. Yes, it's an expensive upgrade, but it's a big monitor, and the graphics card is going to have to output to this.
- Colour on this monitor is good, but not stupidly accurate for things like print/design. Keep this in mind if you're looking to do design work, but most people won't notice this.
- It's FreeSync 2, meaning that it passes some of the feature set needed such as HDR. The darks look brilliant, the brights look decent. It's not 1000 nits, meaning it's not completely true HDR, but it's really good.
- No. There's no VGA, no DVI. It's not the standard anymore, so please don't expect it. Converting the cable will impact performance, so look to upgrade your video output (graphics card) if you want good quality high performance video out.
- I'm happy to answer any questions you have on it. I purchased it, and I'm not selling it.
- The back of the stand has a metal post, meaning you can't push it all the way back. This is expected, and the weight of the monitor needs some serious grounding.

If this review is helpful in anyway, please mark it as such! If not, thanks nonetheless! :)

Honestly an amazing gaming experience, after watching many reviews and researching I decided to purchase this monitor. In many reviews the 200nits brightness was critised oftenly. However, I found this not to be an issue with gaming the brightness was by far better then expected after listening to them reviews.

Inconclusion, the build quality is amazing and I would 100% recommend this monitor it is on another level of great.

Overall, this thing is great quality. No issues when unboxing, and VESA mounting was easy. Build quality seems good, and no dead pixels to speak of. Illumination is absolutely even - no bright/dark patches to speak of.

On the whole, the effect while using this thing for gaming is stunning. I upgraded from three old 28" 16:10 HannsG affairs, with fluorescent lamps. I was worried that as this single screen wouldn't be as tall or wide, the effect would be diminished - far from it. Having no bezels separating your screens is what really makes the effect, and this thing does it in style.

I'm using it with a GeForce GTX1070, and it seems to make use of G-Sync with no issues; the on-screen refresh rate counter happily goes up and down when gaming, proving that the feature is working. For anyone not in the know, nVidia gave up on G-Sync as a walled garden, and made it compatible with FreeSync earlier this year. All you need are the latest drivers, and a 10 series card or higher.

There is also a 'panel' feature, where input from different sources can be fed to different sections of the screen. I haven't tried this yet, but I have no reason to believe it doesn't work. At any rate, you will need to connect using DisplayPort to make use of as much refresh rate as you can.

Picture quality is immense, but it did take a bit of fiddling with Windows settings to get that I needed to leave HDR turned off to get full access to the monitor's image settings. On that subject, there was no disk in the box, so I looked what software was available online. There is no driver as such, but there is an application called Asus DisplayWidget that contains all the OSD settings, to save you having to mess around with the hardware buttons etc. This would be a great addition, only it doesn't work properly; repeatedly, when changing settings in the software, the display would glitch out and go pink, meaning I had to disconnect and reconnect to get it to reset. It's supposed to start with Windows, which it does, but it can't be opened. You need to quit it then restart it. In the end I gave up on it, and decided to stick with the OSD. This is really my only quibble, but I guess it's an additional feature, so giving it 5 stars anyway.

It's a lot to fork out for a monitor, but so far, I haven't regretted it.

Great monitor and the high refresh rate is great in fast paced games. The only issue is the ugly stand which is rather large and does take up a lot of desk space, plus the vesa mount on the back is quite recessed so you have to use long screws and spacers to enable attachment of the bracket. Mine also came with no UK plug, if the monitor performance wasn't really good I would be unhappy but it works great.

I don't know where to start, I figure if you’re going to drop this much on a monitor, you ought to know what could go wrong.

strap yourself in for a long read, otherwise you might have to learn the hard way!
(Check the TL;DR at the bottom if you want the quick answer)
=============WHY?===============================================
-This review is primarily coming from someone who owned an ASUS PG279Q for 3 years. It had a few minor operational issues that once again no one was wanting to take responsibility for (Microsoft/NVIDIA/ASUS I am looking at you!)
-This monitor literally appeared out of nowhere, being released late Feb/early March 2020, no marketing, nothing.
I saw this listed on amazon by pure chance, and I jumped at the chance to buy the XG279Q as I wanted the true one stop shop king of 1440p Gaming/Media Monitors
But did I not know what I was in for...
-I would say your monitor is probably the second most important item (of course after PSU) in your setup when it comes to experience and enjoyment with a gaming/media PC
-Can you imagine paying THIS MUCH for a product within its class, and receiving a faulty, badly QA'd and poorly functioning product?
-Well if you purchase any 'top line' ASUS monitor that's what you get!
-Looking at existing reviews for this exact model, I must have gotten extremely unlucky, or the people who were pleased must not be aware of the nuances to owning these models.
///////////I am now on my THIRD RMA with these monitors\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
-The quality control is truly AWFUL
-I have simply given up trying to find a decent grade model and am going to pray my existing model will last me.
Anyways…

========================FEATURES========================
Speaking Technically, over the PG279Q, you are getting:
-HDR 400 (this is the minimum standard for certification)
-1ms Response time
-170 Hz Refresh (up from 165Hz overclockable)
-Fancy RGB effects, which are on the BACK of the monitor...where you can't see it...
-Refined OD/ELMB Sync options (which are explained in a review linked at the bottom)

==============PROBLEMS:==================
/DEAD PIXELS\
-My first 2 models had a large dead green pixel which was oddly within the same region both times, just slightly up and left from the middle of the screen, It's EXTREMELY jarring when playing a dark video game or movie. When you see it, your eyes will not pull off it.
-My current 3rd Monitor has a stuck green pixel to the bottom middle and a stuck blue pixel to the -top left
-I have tried a very aggressive 'stuck pixel fix' to help remedy the issue, going as far as to gently cover the screen with a vented fabric pc screen protector to help warm the screen, in my short term testing it fixed not a single pixel on all 3 monitors.
-The most slap in the face part about this is that the ASUS warranty states that an ‘acceptable level’ of dead pixels is 3-5, there should be NONE for an item at this price point! There are cheap mass-produced screens that don’t have this level of poor QA (and yes, I know its not in the same realm of production)

/BACKLIGHT BLEED\
-They have INSANE backlight bleed, on All 3 models the backlight bleed was even beyond an acceptable level, once again, playing a dark section in a game or movie completely pulls you out when it looks like your screen is being possessed by a holy light.
-Additionally, a WARNING! if you of these already own one do not read this, you cannot unsee it!
these monitors seem to have a very weird starry sky effect, mainly to the top right of the screen.
The best way to describe this is if you look close enough (again to the top right) you will notice miniscule pinhole sized green pixels like a starry night sky, thankfully, I don't think these are the same as dead pixels, and you cannot see them unless you are inches from the screen with it being blacked out.

/HDR ISSUES\
-HDR is barely functional, probably the worst part of this monitor: It does however work extremely well when watching some HDR enabled movies, the difference truly is night and day and you will find it hard to go back, it has some smearing issues and ghosting which will be mentioned below.
-It will take EXTREMELY long to tab out of a game when HDR is enabled as the monitor needs to disable the function when going back to the desktop, even if it is enabled in Windows 10
for games HDR barely works, you will notice a vertical light banding effect across the screen when a light source is detected, I tried it on numerous AAA games, and it did not function rightly (MK11/ Shadow of TR/RoTR/Doom Eternal/BF5) parts of the screen will be backlit and stay like that till something changes on screen when it goes dark and is very distracting to look at. The brightness and colour levels are also EXTREMELY messed up!
This is also caused when doing something as simple as moving your cursor on your desktop a faint backlit halo will trail your mouse in addition to random areas of the screen becoming bright then going dark (again, the same inside games and some movies)
-The screen itself has some sort of grainy panel overlay, unlike the PG279Q where the picture is extremely smooth across the panel as well as general PC usage is not as clear.
========================POSITIVE POINTS:==========================
1. This is an exceptional Gaming monitor, in terms of raw gameplay, it will crush the competition, the usual buzzword ‘buttery smooth’ is the best way to describe it, G-Sync works beautifully and 1440p 170Hz 1ms is absolutely a treat. If you spend every waking hour playing video games, then this could still be for you.
2. The monitor does produce a much MUCH better colour scale during gaming, even when not in HDR mode.
In SDR, It is still actually incredible, when you are gaming the colour is truly a wonder to look at, very distinct but not in an oversaturated sort of way, the monitors are calibrated out of the factory, I’m almost on the border to say that this would make the monitor worth buying, it makes that much of a difference in some games, the biggest upgrade from the PG279Q
3. This monitor has the ability where you can accurately scale your brightness setting inside a game, kind of like a TV, on the PG279Q, no matter how low the screen brightness or in game brightness you would still see the on screen brightness guider, this does make a really big difference!
4. The bezel is a lot slimmer with less borders and helps with immersion, similar to the UQ 4K version as well as the rear side design.
5. You have a lot more OSD (on screen display settings) options than the PG279Q, as well as the possibility to update the firmware in the future (I think?)
6.The monitor can come much closer to the stand unlike the PG279Q, which I like to have it very low.
Other than that? The PG279Q is substantially better in every way, why? Because none of the additional features that separate this monitor from it even work!!!! The PG279Q is a plug and play monitor with similar image quality minus the colour depth and much less QA Risk. (Though I returned my first one due to horrid backlight bleed)

===========TL;DR===========
If you own any of the 1440p high refresh rate/G-Sync Premium monitors by ASUS or others such as the Acer XB271HU; there is NO reason to buy this as it offers very little over it,
If you are looking to jump into or from another premium monitor, you are taking huge risk that you will get a bad model.
==================================================================================
/CONCLUSION\
-Almost SIX YEARS later after the launch of their 1440p premium line PG278Q TN panel, they cannot address QA issues with their models. If I could take this thing out the box and not have to worry, I would give this a 100/100 review but taking such a risk with an amount like this is truly unacceptable.
-I am permanently shaken when buying an ASUS product, knowing I paid this much, and I still fear what lies in wait every time now… I will no longer be purchasing their motherboards, graphics cards and other peripherals for which I have done the better part of 8 years, always been my go-to.
-I would simply wait a few more years till they release another so called 'penultimate 1440p' monitor or wait till a competitor shows them they can’t ship in this state.
-An Important read if you still want to pull the trigger, a much more technical review by Amazon user BPG shows that the functions this monitor is supposed to excel at, is actually where it is the worst (ELMB SYNC/OD/HDR/GTG performance)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3IYMDGOMILTZD/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B083Z8JXW6

-If you still DESPERATELY want one, if it has no dead pixels then I advise not to chance another RMA, even with bad backlight bleed, because there is a possibility the warmth over time will reduce pressure from the panels on the bezels and reduce if not completely mitigate the backlight bleed. (I will update my review if this is the case).
==================================================================================
Also, a huge thank you to amazon for it's amazing customer service and troubling them with 2 RMA's, any other company would have forced you a restock fee as well as having to pay for return postage. The state of these monitors was purely NOT the fault of Amazon, they even made sure my replacements were packed inside giant padded boxes, Thanks amazon!

Just a awesome product
