Отзывы о 43" Монитор ASUS ROG Swift PG43UQ, 3840x2160, 144 Гц, *VA

Comment j’ai fais pour jouer pendant plus de 6 années sur un écran LED 60Hz 2ms.

J’ai l’impression de redécouvrir mes jeux.

Que dire de plus, n’hesitez plus et foncez !

Vous perdez du temps à ne pas le prendre.

C'est plutôt un bon écran mais il accumule plusieurs défauts, en même temps il est impossible de nos jours de trouver l'écran parfait...
Déjà les couleurs de base sont très très mal réglée, perso je vous conseil de laisser le mode Racing mais d'utiliser le gamma à 2.5 et mettre les couleurs en manuel (R92/G90/B100) ça sera déjà beaucoup mieux. Mais malheureusement ça ne suffit toujours pas à mon goût, donc je suis passé par le panel Nvidia pour encore ajuster les couleurs (Luminosité 45% et Gamma 0,95) et maintenant le rendu est plutôt bon pour un TN.
Ensuite je trouve l'effet de grain trop prononcé (très visible sur les couleurs clair) et les bords un peu trop gros.
En dehors de ça c'est un bon écran GSYNC/144hz tout ça !

Bon écran pour les jeux et les films. Il faut s'adapter au format 21:9 c'est un peu particulier. Je le trouve un peu cher tout de même pas de hdr et il n'est pas 4k.

Très belle écran taille suffisante mon fils est ravi très bonne qualité d'image

Ecran pas trop cher acheté pour ma nouvelle config. Rien à redire, fait son taf. Nombreuses petites options de personnalisation, en jeux, hors jeux, filtre lumière bleu etc... Câble d'alimentation très long, c'est appréciable.

Je pense que j'aurais du mieux regarder les autres écrans disponibles car pour le rapport qualité prix on repassera. Mis à part ça le produit est de bonne qualité et pour l'instant je n'ai eu aucun problème avec (en même temps vu le prix heureusement)

Pour un écran qui coute 500 euros, peut importe la résolution, le nombre d'ips ou la dalle, avoir un pixel hs qui reste vert fluo gâche tout.

Grosse fuite de lumière, renvoyé.

Très bon écran, j'ai longtemps hésité à cause des autres commentaires. En effet la dalle est blanche, mais au bout d'environ 30 minutes de réglage sur l'écran et le panneau nvidia l'écran est très bien, le 144ghz fonctionne et le g-sync aussi.

La qualité de l'écran est irréprochable, bordure fine ce qui est agréable.
Le gros MOINS : l’ergonomie du pied. Celui-ci prend énormément de place sur le bureau.
Il aurait suffit d'inverser le pied, je ne comprend pas le choix.

Un vrai plaisir ! acheté 1049€ en mars 2020

Comme dit dans les commentaires précédents de petits réglages s'imposent a la première utilisation, passé ce cap ça envoi du lourd !!!
Coté esthétique c'est pas mal non plus, un pied ajustable en hauteur, inclinaison et rotation avec un éclairage rouge pour finition sur la base.
Le 144hz est dispo en Display uniquement pour ceux qui se poseraient la question.

Bonjour,

Cet écran est incroyable, rapidité, efficacité, les préréglages sont parfait, les connectiques au dos de l'écran sont très apprécier.

Rien à dire sur le produit, il est impeccable.

Merci

Franchement si vous avez un choix à faire ......
Un gros conseil N'HÉSITEZ SURTOUT LA QUALITÉ LA PRÉCISION EST BIEN AU RENDEZ VOUS.....

Les couleurs sont assez ternes, de bonne qualité mais difficile de vraiment justifié le prix. Bon écran juste un peu chère pour un TN, la G-SYNC ne vaut pas les 200€ imo.

sans doute le meilleur moniteur, de bonne qualité, un design excellent, très beau, très

Le prix est assez élevé mais il est juste parfait. 1ms / G-Sync / 144 HZ (overclocker à 180 hz) / full HD 1080, capaciter à régler son écran comme on veut. TRÈS BON PRODUIT.

Très content malgré le color banding impossible à faire partir complètement. Cela doit être un problème de win10 ou drivers mais je n’avais pas ce problème avec mon écran précédent. Mais le haut taux de rafraîchissement et le gsync fonctionnent parfaitement.

Produit au top.

J'utilise l'écran pour le gaming. La Gsync fait le taf. Le rafraîchissement de 240hz est clairement recommander pour du jeu de tir.

Ecran magnifique ! D'une fluidité incroyable en bureautique et dans les jeux.
Le G-Sync au top !

Non pris en garantie par le constructeur alors que le produit n'a subit aucun dommage

meilleur écran que j'ai eu, ce que j'aime moins le prix.

Très bon écran. Passage d'un écran 60Hz vers celui-ci et la différence est sans appel. Couplé à une GTX 1060, le rendu est parfait.

Qualité d'image impressionnante

L'écran présente du color banding.
C’est un défaut de fabrication qui peut apparaitre sur des écrans TN.
C’est une forme généralement involontaire d’effet de posterisation.

Par exemple :

Photo N°1 d'origine
Photo N°2 ce que je vois

Photo N°3 d'origine
Photo N°4 ce que je vois

Après avoir tout tenté au niveau des paramètres profond de cet écran, je me vois contraint de le renvoyer...
Selon moi, il n'y a pas que les fabricant de carte graphique qui font du renommage, cela fonctionne aussi pour les écrans gamers
Pour ce modèle qui est quasi l'équivalent des modèles ci-dessous :
VG248Q
MG248Q

l'emballage était défoncé mais j'ai reçu le produit intact. l'objet en lui même est très bien finis et la tech embarquée est vraiment chouette.

Le gros point noir pour moi c'est la qualité de la dalle, c'est du TN je l'ai pris en connaissance de cause mais je ne m'attendais pas a une image aussi dégradée.
sorti d'usine le calibrage est juste dégueulasse et après avoir beaucoup galéré pour restituer des couleurs fidèles, l'image n'est toujours pas à la hauteur. les noirs manquent cruellement de profondeur et les dégradés souffrent de vilains effets de posterisation. ce n'est même pas à la hauteur de mon vieil écran LG, aussi un TN qui date de 2010 que j'avais dû payer 100 balles à tout casser...
Je ne comprends pas les commentaires qui valorisent les couleurs, c'est se voiler la face où ne pas avoir un œil suffisament averti pour en juger, car j'ai bien vérifié, ce n'est pas un défaut propre à mon écran.

je ne doute pas des qualités de l'écran pour de la performance pure pour du gaming, là il fait carrément le taff. mais si comme moi vous attachez un minimum d'importance à la qualité de l'image et la finesse des couleurs, passez votre chemin.

pour ma part je retourne l'article et je me pencherais un peu plus sur les écrans pourvu d'une dalle IPS car celui ci m'a bien refroidis pour retenter le TN.

Génial, le 144hz en DisplayPort une merveille, le G-sync fait super bien le boulot aussi je retrouve la beauté de mes jeux à nouveau. L'écran es réglable en hauteur et on peut le tournée. Je regrette pas l'achat et 0 pixel mort a l'arrivée. Seul l'emballage laisse à désiré.

Franchement l'écran il est pas mal. Le 180hz ca change tout. Meme bêtement utiliset le pc tu vois le différence. En jeu ca n'as rien à voir avec du 60hz. Maintenant si je passe en 60hz j'ai l'impression je vois flou. Les couleurs c'est pas son fort, encore ca reste très bien mais il n'y a pas assez de couleur pour reproduire nettement les contours de ce que l'on voit à l'écran. Maintenant la même chose en ips tu paye 3 fois le prix.

J'enlève une étoile à cause de la livraison la commande s'est perdu en chemin ils ont du m'en envoyer un autre. Amazon doit vraiment laisser tomber postnl, c'est une bande d'incompétent.

Franchement pas déçu de l'écran en 144hz. L'image est très fluide sans pour autant avoir énormément de ghosting.
Les couleurs (une fois tweaké) sont franchement jolis pour un écran TN et le blacklight bleeding n'est pas si prononcé que ça.

Mais les atouts qu'on nous a vendu sur l'écran ne sont une sacré déception... L'écran propose de passer en 180hz en overclockant le taux de rafraichissement. Mais en 180hz & 170hz, on remarque des scanlines qui gênent énormément la vue de ceux qui y sont sensibles (dont moi en partie). Et ces scanlines apparaissent aussi bien même en desactivant la GSYNC. Et aussi avec le mode ULMB quand vous passez en 120hz (aucun soucis en 100hz ou en dessous). Et je précise que je me suis fait remplacer 2 fois l'écran en pensant que ça pouvait venir d'une erreur de fabrication, que j'ai essayé 4 cables displayport et que ça revenait toujours au meme probleme.

Conclusion: Un écran parfait en terme de couleur/contraste en 144hz (avec sa GSYNC, ca rend le tout bien meilleur). Mais de grosses déceptions sur l'ULMB et la feature de l'OC..

Je recommande donc pour ceux/celles qui veulent un écran GSYNC, 144hz avec un taux de contraste et de couleurs plus que correct et le tout pour un prix abordable.

Ceux qui se sont par contre tourner vers cette écran pour son prix et ses features ULMB + OC, passez votre chemin.

L'ecran est magnifique, un pixel mort, couleurs un peu fades de base ,des reglages difficiles a trouver, 144 fps , design gamer , tres satisfait de cet achat

De belle caractéristique pour des gamers exigent il y a mieux pour des prix un peu plus élevé mais il y a toujours mieux de toute manière . La g sync créé de l'input lag pas autant que la synchronisation vertical , mais ça en créé donc resté sur vos garde faite des test . Sur les jeux ou vous avez besoin d'un bonne réactivité je déconseille son utilisation . Après si c'est pour profité d'un bon rpg aller y les yeux fermé c'est top :p

L’écran ASUS ROG Swift PG349Q est juste magnifique. Destiné davantage à un public de gamer, il vous séduira à coup sûr ! Il dispose d’un panorama en 21:9 de 34 pouces incurvée ce qui équivaut à une taille de 86.72cm. L’écran est ajustable en hauteur et on peut également l'incliner ou le faire pivoter selon les besoins. Cet écran a une résolution Ultra-Wide QHD (3440x1440) via une dalle IPS. La densité de pixels est de 109 PPP. Il dispose d’un temps de réponse de 1 ms et d’une fréquence de rafraîchissement de 120 Hz couplé avec la technologie NVIDIA G-SYNC, bref que du lourd. Il est également certifié Flicker-Free ce qui permet de réduire le clignotement pour minimiser la fatigue oculaire.
Côté branchement il dispose de ports DisplayPort 1.2 et HDMI, de jack ainsi que deux ports USB 3.0 de quoi brancher la quasi totalité des équipements du marché...
Petit plus pour les gamers qui aurait des équipements bénéficiant de la technologie Aura Sync cet écran en est lui aussi pourvu ! Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas cette technologie, elle sert à effectuer des effets lumineux pouvant être synchronisés avec d'autres appareils et périphériques compatibles Aura. C’est un petit gadget en plus pour ceux qui apprécient ce genre d’ambiance lumineuse. Tout comme le Light Signature présent sur cet écran, 2 caches avec le logo ROG et 3 caches neutres y sont inclus.
Pour conclure c’est écran est une bête de concours ! Certes le prix est assez onéreux mais ces caractéristiques techniques sont à la hauteur... je recommande donc ce produit !

Je viens de recevoir cet écran, livraison en - de 24h, rien à redire à ce niveau là, Amazon toujours au top !

Seulement, je n'ai pas encore pu tester l'écran ! En effet, la description de cet écran est incorrecte. Il y a soit disant une prise DVI-D alors que rien dutout. Il n'y a aucune prise DVI sur l'écran, c'est dommage, plus qu'a attendre mon nouveau pc ...

Cet écran est vraiment bien. Le support est solide même si on pourrait le trouver plutôt imposant.
La dalle est lumineuse à mon sens mais je n'ai pas assez de recul pour être plus précis sur ses performances.
Je regretterais même de ne pas avoir pu prendre le 27" faute de place sur le bureau car j'en ai pris 2...
Si on peut se permettre de mettre un budget assez conséquent sur les écrans, je dirait que c'est un bon choix. Je ne regrette rien pour l'instant.

Excellent écran. Le meilleur en 1080p. Le passage de 60hz a 240 Hz est phénoménal. Le pied prend beaucoup de place donc prévoyez le bureau.

Ecran de tres bonne qualité, fait pour gamer sans aucuns doutes.

Cet écran est de très bonne qualité de très belles images et dessin je vous recommande vivement cette écran pour un prix très convenable.

Updated to reflect replacement monitor.

Pros: Generally good colours if tweaked (Red 97, Green 92, Blue 100), viewing angles are acceptable for a TN (though not from below - and you'd not want to run this 90deg rotated as 'below' would be 'from left') however original monitor that was shipped had a noticeable yellow tinge towards top of screen is noticeable
Wickedly smooth
Less input lag than my old Samsung 226BWs - the only good panel I've used since my awesome Panasonic 19" CRT bit the dust 10 years ago - I actually have two 226BWs and they are very similar in viewing experience.
Stylish
Nice matt screen finish.
Cons:

Adjusting the Colour Temp, for personal preference, is great unless you then apply the Blue Light filter in the evening as this has the effect of wiping your preferred Colour Temp. and it resets the R,G & B values back to 100 - this means that every day after using this feature you're going to have to reset your preference. That's rather poor in my book.
Light In Motion is just the one colur as opposed to previous incarnations and the 24.5" model I believe.
And now for the failure and why I returned the first monitor that was shipped:
In the Windows environment:
I inititally setup my GPU brightness with Windows colorcpl.exe as the NVidia panel caused severe banding of colours in game if I set it to look right in Windows, however it was still far too bright when viewing a Browser page (such as this). I tried all games modes but had to set the monitor to 0 Brightness in all. nb the black 'X' in the colorcpl.exe setup was always very visible.I settled omn using the default 'Racing' mode.
nb - PG248Q.icm from the Asus disc was installed and is showing in Windows.
Still using the Windows colorcpl.exe, I could not get it to satisfactorily calibrate Brightness/Contrast/Gamma using the Lagom test screens as reference- if I got one to look correct then at least two of the rest were wrong. It was also still quite bright when looking at a predominantly white web page in a daylit room (and too really bright at night even with Blue light filtering) and I found myself leaning back away from the screen to cope.
With the Asus in In Racing Mode and with it's Gamma set to 2.2, Colours tweaked as above(Red 97, Green 92, Blue 100), Brightness at 0 and contrast at 54, no Blue Light filter, no OD, no Dark Boost and no Adaptive control and using the DisplayPort connection (incidentally, HDMI was similarly bright) and, still with the Windows colorcpl.exe, the Lagom Gamma test was showing 1.7 (I simply cannot get a higher value (ie lower down the bar) no matter what I did); the first two in the top row of black squares in the Black Level test were missing; and just about see the 1st bar in the Contrast test; White Level is pure white from 248 onwards with 247 only barely perceiveble if you scroll the screen up/down; Gradient Banding test was fairly good.
With this overall setup, and still in Windows. Just to mention, I do like a dark environment to work/game in but I have only just bought my first pair of prescription sunglasses and am happy with brightness outdoors in general.
In a Game environment:
Now, the above might have worked for Windows but it left me rather in the dark in Game. So I went back to the NVidia panel and found that, keeping the monitor's settings the same (Brightness still at 0 etc), if I were to set the nVidia panel to Brightness 30%, Contrast 50% and Gamma 1.02 would give me a good gaming experience but would again leave me with an overly bright screen when returning to Windows (why this should be when neither of my 226BWs did this is beyond me). The results in the Lagom test now were most peculiar and very poor indeed- only 4 Black squares visible out 20!; White Saturation 253 was just about perceivable - the only test to have improved; Gamma was about the same at abnout 1.7; Contrast seemed to lose bars 2 or 3 and below. Unless I'm doing something wildly wrong then clearly this particular monitor cannot cope with full-screen games and fulfil a passable experience in Windows without two different settings (and even then is still too bright) which is not really satisfactory IMHO.
Some extra detail - if I drop the nVidia brightness to 20 - a bit more comfortable then I'm down to 2 Black square in the Lagom test.

All my tweaking above did not change the yellow tinge, in fact it became more apparant due to one's focus on trying to acheive a good result. I took 4 shots: a shot of a fullscreen blank Notepad which I split and flipped to show the gradual tint, however this didn't really convey the problem fully so I attached three shots of a quick Excel sheet with 3 pairs of random colour blocks and took pictures from above, straight on and one from below to show that it wasn't a viewing angle thing (in fact the 'from below view' was horrible!).

And as for the replacement:
Much easier to setup, though brightness is still dialled right down - probably made easier in part due to all of the previous tweaking I went through on the first monitor, though it may actually be due to the previous monitor being flawed of course. There is still a faint yellow tint to the top of the screen, which can be observed if actively looking for it, though it is noticeably less than the previous problem that was observed. Whilst I can see the difference, and could supply more photos of it, in practice it doesn't seem an issue and is far better than living with a single dead pixel (the reason I had avoided the Acer Predator which seems to suffer from that?).
Ultimately it's still a good monitor albeit with a hefty price tag.

One thing to note is that the Amazon returns policy, whilst very good in this case, has a potential problem as they suggested the Pass My Parcel service to return the monitor despite it being larger than the accepted max size for the PMP service - cue a home pickup ny the Hermes guy.

Ich schreibe gewöhnlich keine Rezensionen für Monitore da Vorlieben bezüglich Features und Optik sowie Wahrnehmung bezüglich Backlight Bleed oder Ähnlichem von Person zu Person unterschiedlich ist.

Im Falle des PG35VQ (sowie dem Acer X35) möchte ich einem potentiellen Käufer empfehlen sich über Flickering und Scanlines bezüglich der G-Sync Ultimate 21:9 Monitore zu informieren. Das hat nichts mehr mit Lottery Problemen wie Backlight Bleed zu tun, das ist ein Defekt von Haus aus der jeder G-Sync Ultimate 21:9 Monitor mit sich bringt. Informieren kann man sich auf YouTube, dem offiziellen Acer Forum und so weiter.

Die G-Sync Ultimate 4K Monitore wurden damals durch ein Firmware Update von ihren Makeln erlöst (Black Crush bei 144Hz). Bei den 21:9 Monitoren scheint es so als ob das Flickering kein blosser Firmware Fehler ist, wodurch sich das Schweigen seitens Asus/Acer/Nvidia erklären würde.

Tut euch den Gefallen und informiert euch vor einem Kauf, und wartet zumindest ab bis es ein Statement bezüglich der Probleme seitens der Hersteller gibt. Für das Geld was hier für einen defekten Monitor verlangt wird kann man mit etwas Preisrecherche einen LG C9 55" sowie einen "normalen" 21:9 120Hz Monitor erwerben.

This is a review of the PG35VQ. The headline specs - 1000nits of brightness, 512 zones of FALD local dimming, 200hz refresh, and G-Sync. This true HDR, the real deal, and nothing like the phoney 300-400nit "HDR" with no local dimming HDR on so many PC displays. On paper, this should be as good as it currently gets on a PC. (at least until the MiniLED panels arrive later this year)

My points of comparison are my old first generation Dell ultrawide for which this was the replacement, and my LG OLED in the living room. The Dell was 300nits of dull, lifeless, washed out flatness, capable of turning even the most dynamic of games something uninspiring. The moment I fired up a game on this Asus, the difference was, to say the least, astounding. I immediately saw near OLED levels of contrast, deep saturated colours, and searingly bright whites. Unlike an OLED, there's no ALB (automatic brightness limiter), so large areas of 1000nit white can fill the screen without the panel going into panic mode and reducing the brightness. This stays bright no matter what. It's too bright at times, in all honesty, but that's a nice problem for an HDR display to have.

As this isn't an OLED, I knew there would however be some caveats, and having read many reviews of this before buying I knew what to look for. First off, fan noise. FALD panels run hot and need fans to keep them cool. I had read the horror stories of the sister panel to this, the Predator X35 with its noisy fan randomly spinning up. On the Asus though, the fan is virtually silent, even when gaming. I can sometimes hear it a little, but it's essentially a non issue. Next up, haloing. This is a glow which can be seen around bright things on a dark background and the FALD brightens the backlight. In exists, and if I move my mouse pointer around on a black background then I can see the haloing. I also see it on HUD elements in dark sections of games. Mostly though, it's another non issue and can't be seen. Finally I was concerned over this being a VA panel, but as long as I sit in the sweet spot, right in front of the screens, it's again, a non issue.

Other things to note - Firstly, HDR in Windows is still a bit of a mess. If you don't have HDR turned on then some games will assume you have an SDR display and won't switch to HDR mode. (some however, do switch). If you run some SDR games with HDR turned on, they're a blown out incredibly bright mess. Windows itself is also a little too bright with HDR on, even with the HD colour settings tweaked as much as possible, but if you turn it off, as well as losing HDR in some games, you also lose the ability to play HDR video. It clearly needs more work.

I went through a good selection of games in Steam and GamePass, and here are a few real HDR ultrawide standouts - Jedi Fallen Order, Gears of War 5, Metro Exodus, Forza Horizon 4, GRID, Shadow Warrior 2,
Monster Hunter World, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. There are few upcoming HDR games this year which I expect will also impress - Doom Eternal, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and Cyberpunk.

Secondly, this monitor includes an audio DAC and has a 3.5mm audio jack. This is listed as a headphone socket, but is fine for powering speakers too. A nice little bonus, especially if you have a second device plugged in through HDMI which needs audio out.

Thirdly, backlight uniformity isn't great. When I look at a full screen of black, I can see a lighter patch in the middle of the screen. This isn't noticeable in actual real world use, but I imagine I might notice it during a very dark section of a movie.

And finally GSync is pretty damn amazing. I had only ever owned 60hz displays before, and the jump to 144hz and above (assuming you have the graphics card to power it) is truly amazing. The fluidity is genuinely game changing. Even Windows is so much nicer at 144hz.

Also, one little quirk with this screen is that in HDR mode it defaults to a contrast of 90. This completely blows out several games so they look pretty terrible. I found that a setting of 70-75 transforms them, and it's rather baffling why Asus chose such a poor default.

I did run into some issues using a Framemeister with this plugged into HDMI, but I won't pad this review further with the specifics. It's solvable and if anyone has problems leave me a comment and I'll fill you in. In short, 960p DVI doesn't work on this panel.

This is an incredibly expensive display and for the price it should be genuinely amazing, and it is. Gaming on this thing is just phenomenal. If you've been used to an non dimming SDR display, this will be an utter revelation. As for comparisons to my OLED, well the OLED still wins in all honesty, due to its per pixel dimming, incredible panel uniformity, and superior colour accuracy, but this is a very honourable second place. If you can stomach the cost, then this monitor will amaze and delight you. Oh and you can turn off all the gamer RGB nonsense too.

240fps looks amazing. I was a 4k gamer before that and heard all the pros play with high refresh rate. I played 4k for over 2 years now but was curious what exactly 240fps looks like.
It is amazing, even though I had a downgrade in resolution, the frame rate has quadrupled. Its like driving a car that goes 60mph and driving a car that goes 240mph.
You will easily predict where your opponents go in matches. In gears of war 4 horde mode, playing as the sniper is so easy to hit headshots even when an enemy is running sideways far away from me which is near impossible on 60 fps.
Mind you also need hardware to support the high refresh rate. I have a gtx 1060 and a i5 6600k. I have to be honest, my frames are usually around the 140-160 mark but it feels so smooth and responsive that I am going to upgrade to a gtx 1080 so I can get a consistent near 200fps or more. I play my games on full HD, low graphic settings to get the most out of the frame rate. If you are a pc gamer or looking to become one, from someone who has had a high res and a high refresh rate monitor, I 100% encourage you to go for a lower res with a high refresh rate monitor.

Il confezionamento del prodotto si mostra abbastanza buono e solido per il trasporto. Tutto stà sempre ai corrieri, il mio è arrivato sdraiato con alcune scatole sopra -_-‘ con una botta in un angolo ma che NON ne ha precluso il funzionamento.
L’unboxing è stato facile, grazie anche i pochi video online, e cmq il codice stampato all’esterno della scatola è PG43U e basta. Successivamente riconosciuto da alcuni soft con PG43U altri con PG43UQ…cosa che ancora non approfondisco del perché questo dettaglio variabile.

Qualitativamente il monitor è di Ottima fattura, con audio passante da dport 1.4, anche discreto ma non vi aspettate bassi profondi. Mi sarei aspettato dei neri più veri, molto di più del normale nero di un LCD, invece siamo lì. Il monitor è arrivato a 0 pixel bruciati (per fortuna) e c’è nella garanzia la solita <5 o >5 come garanzia generale.

Mi sarei aspettato davvero di più, ma considerando che è il primo DSC con 144Hz in 4K e dport 1.4, comprendo anche la mossa di mercato.

I 144Hz in 4K li raggiungerete solamente in sogno!!! Uso una asus strix 2080Ti OC su un Intel i9 9900KF con 32gb a 3200hz ed ho cercato di raggiungere il massimo degli FPS con COD Modern Warfare ma è letteralmente IMPOSSIBILE XD, ho dei droprate assurdi. I settaggi grafici sono in 4K full ULTRA + RTX. In pratica si gioca fin dall’inizio dai 58/50 ai 120hz variabili in moltitudini condizioni ed anche andando avanti nel gioco è questa la realtà. La fluidità c’è, ma non vi aspettate i miracoli!
Per farla breve è un’utopia raggiungere 144hz stabili durante tutti i titoli del momento (ma era cosa nota nel momento in cui recensisco 09/03/2020).
(chiaramente i test sono stati fatti STOCK, senza alcun OC di nessun tipo. Sistemando bene windows10 ed i settaggi della MB sono arrivato a 80/110fps. Probabilmente è possibile guadagnare ancora un 20fps ma non è alla portata di tutti, in quanto sono OC spinti al massimo)

Confermo il funzionamento con il cavo HDMI 2.0 a 120hz, ma unicamente alla risoluzione 2560 × 1440 (QHD, WQHD)!!!

Parto col dire che l'esemplare che mi è arrivato è assolutamente perfetto: nessun pixel difettoso, nessuna traccia di sporco dietro al pannello, retroilluminazione omogenea. Questo modello monta un pannello AUO particolare, prodotto esclusivamente per il pg258q e anche altri 2 esemplari che ho visionato da miei conoscenti erano perfetti.
Da assiduo utilizzatore di videogiochi competitivi online, possiedo già un altro modello con pannello TN 240hz del quale sono soddisfattissimo.. istantaneamente sono diventato dipendente dei 240hz, perché offrono un'esperienza visiva impareggiabile.
Per quanto mi riguarda non c'è paragone con 4k\1440p, hdr, oled e cose simili. La vera esperienza videoludica si acquisisce avendo un effetto smooth TOTALE delle immagini in movimento, con tutti i dettagli sempre perfettamente fermi e a fuoco qualunque scrolling\rotazione subisca l'immagine e tutti gli elementi che la compongono. Oltre a questo, la riduzione dell'input lag rende l'interazione col gaming assolutamente 1:1, andando ad eliminare qualsiasi "filtro" tra il vostro controller\mouse e l'alter-ego virtuale.
Questo è vero gaming per me. Inutile dire che gli occhi ringraziano (intendo anche a livello di comfort visivo) e pure le performance online.
Il pg258q ha un pannello incredibile in fatto di pixel response, dettando nuovi standard a riguardo.
Col profilo ICC reperibile su un noto sito che recensisce monitor e i settings da loro consigliati, il pg258q se la cava bene tutto sommato anche in fatto di colori. Per il sottoscritto è un pannello da gaming puro che merita a occhi chiusi 5 stelle su 5, con un film opacizzante che per fortuna è molto meno invasivo di quello che montava il pg278q.
Strutturalmente il monitor è curato, con una base stabile che consente le solite regolazioni delle basi professionali. Esteticamente il look cibernetico e futuristico può piacere o non piacere, ma dona al monitor la personalità che merita (io sono per look più sobri e seri sinceramente). Il logo che viene proiettato sul tavolo funziona bene, ma lo lascerò disattivato per sempre.
Il monitor monta il modulo gsync che fa il solito ottimo lavoro, sincronizzando il refresh del pannello coi frame in uscita dalla scheda video, per immagini prive di stuttering e tearing. L'esperienza su Battlefield1, Counter Strike e titoli simili che uso ogni giorno è di altissimo livello.
E' compatibile anche con 3d vision2 per gli amanti del 3d con occhiali attivi nVidia (kit non incluso voglio precisare).
L'alimentatore è esterno col solito mattoncino visto sugli altri monitor Rog.
Il menu a schermo per i settings è asciutto.. c'è quasi tutto lo stretto necessario per un monitor destinato a questo utilizzo, se non fosse per la mancanza della regolazione del parametro della definizione (avrei preferito regolarla un filo più elevata per rendere i pixel più vividi).
La risoluzione 1080p abbinata a una diagonale tra 23 e 25 pollici rimane secondo me la scelta migliore per un gamer che fa competizione online: la definizione è più che soddisfacente, il carico sulla gpu non è eccessivo e permette l'erogazione di tanti frame per secondo, infine la diagonale e il rapporto d'aspetto permettono di tenere facilmente tutto sotto controllo. Ho provato tutti i vari modelli 21:9 gaming, ma questi fulminei "piccoletti" sono impareggiabili dal mio punto di vista.
Concludendo
PRO:
_pannello super rapido in fatto di pixel response e input lag, primato assoluto per ora
_240hz e gsync offrono una fluidità visiva tale che è difficile immaginare di meglio
_qualità del pannello utilizzato e qualità dell'assemblaggio all'altezza
_1080p abbinati alla diagonale contenuta sono la scelta perfetta per il gaming competitivo
_estetica curata e futuristica che dona al monitor personalità
_materiali di qualità
_funzione ultra low motion blur utilizzabile fino a 120hz
_compatibile con 3d vision 2
_buona connettività

CONTRO:
_ho visto di meglio tra i TN come colori
_qualche tocco tamarro
_niente casse integrate

Seriously disappointed and annoyed with this monitor. Totaly unacceptable build quality issues for a £1,000 monitor.

There is horrendous back light bleed. The image is completely washed out and almost gone after only moving a few degrees around the monitor. Black levels are aweful straight on (very washed out dark areas)

Worst of all is the Yellowing. There is a permanent yellow tint that I cannot correct with settings. it's almost as thought the blue light filter is on, but permanently.

Build quality / Quality control is "meh" at best. The monitor itself is wonky on the base (There is no swivel adjustment) and the right side is slightly higher than the left (enough to be distracting)

Thankfuly i'll never use them, but the inbuilt speakers are very "Smartphone from 10 years ago" All tin and rattles. Seriously, TV's at half the price have sound technology that is miles ahead of this.

After going through hours of monitor tests and calibration images, I cannot get this to even display full colour gradients (Which my budget samsung can)

This is not on for a £1,000 gaming monitor. My £99 24" Samsung had better color reproduction and almost totaly pure whites compared to this.

From researching forums and seeing other reviews, buying these monitors is a STRAIGHT UP LOTTERY! If you're willing to gamble and roll the £1,000 dice, go for it. If you get a good one, it's a breathtaking display. but prepare for the possible disappointment.

Will be requesting a refund and exchange for something else.

I've been an ASUS fan for years, and most of my build is all ASUS RoG gear, but it feels like their build quality, and QC have slipped as of late on many of their items. Time to start a new build with a new theme methinks.

Update: March 2020: Still stuck with the same monitor. Amazon are unwilling to ship me a replacement and seem largely uninterested in providing any support.

ASUS Direct have been more helpful, but their only solution is to send me a "service exchange" monitor (Which basically means they will give me a dusted, second hand monitor)

If I was buying a cheap-o screen, yeah fine. But to drop a grand on a faulty display, then have both the retailer and manufacturer basically tell me you're either stuck with what you got, or you can have a second hand unit. No thanks. Last piece of tech I buy from Amazon...

This monitor is noticably fast. The refresh rate, response time and Gsync make it a very powerful asset for games like CS:GO, Battlefield etc making for an incredibly smooth experience. Do you need 240hz over 120Hz? Unless you only play CS:GO, probably not because most games won’t perform at that high frame rate consistently. But when you look at the market you’ll be lucky to get 120Hz gsync monitor much cheaper than this one at the moment. Only thing I don’t like Is the contrast ratio of TN panels but that’s nothing specific to this monitor in question, it’s 95% of “gaming” monitors. Seen some reports of “bad backlight bleed” but outside of the normal spill around the edges I’ve not had any issues there. Anything other than an OLED panel with have a certainly level of backlight bleed. The monitor it’s self is very robust and has a great build quality. So far I’d say worth the money.

A vertical line of distortion appears randomly in the centre of the screen creating a mirror image on the left or right extreme edge of the screen.

Apparently this is known problem with this model (Asus ROG themselves posted about it on their website). Not known to me before I bought it! Asus request buyers do an RMA and send it to Asus so that they can update the firmware, with the consumer footing the postage bill!!

Amazon should not be selling a defective product. I can't fault it for actually playing a game it's just going back to the desktop when things to wrong. A real shame because that 165Hz overclock was outstanding.

Do yourself a favour and buy something else.

EDIT

I should add this is the PG279QE, since this review section appears to have mixed in reviews of other Asus monitors which is rather stupid.

I have specifically bought this monitor for one purpose: Multitasking.

Other than the fact that I now have more horizontal screen space on my multiple windows, I can also run my games on 3440x1440 at 120 Hz.

With the addition of G-Sync, it makes the Ultrawide experience flawless.

Even though I downgraded from 165 Hz to 120Hz, it was totally worth it. Bear in mind, I only play fast-paced games casually. Most of the time, I play driving games, such as Forza Horizon 4 and Project Cars 2.

For those two games, other than VR support on Project Cars 2, the immersion in racing is unmatched, in comparison to a 16:9 monitor. The curvature of the monitor also adds a lot to the immersion. It is a very impressive monitor indeed.

Other than the fact that the price is extortionate, I would highly recommend the monitor for immersion purposes in games, or for multitasking on multimedia.

The graphics card used for this monitor was a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super.
