Good for gaming, and almost only that
There is clearly visible noise on black and all dark colours. Good for gaming, but hard to enjoy movies because of that.

Great but get a big desk
Now on deeper desk. 80cm deep. Any shallower and you get too close.

Good monitor,makes the difference in CS and R6. But but the only thing is the stand. If you don't have that big of a desk and you play with low sens,your mouse will keep hitting the stand.other than that good monitor

Horizontal grey lines
Oh man...I was so excited to receive the monitor. What a disappointment :( If I choose any frequency above 60hz, I get grey lines across the screen. I have tried with 3 GPUs and got the same result. Returned.

Brilliant screen, does all you want and then some. The quality is not the best but that’s the trade off of having a 240hz

Pissed off an understatement...
Literally received this monitor today to find it broken out of the box! Turned the screen on for the first time and there was a massive crack on the right hand side of the screen, literally covering a third of the screen, sent it straight back! Not happy...

Do yourself a favor and splurge on this bad boy. The wide color gamut for sdr and nvdia filters are awesome in 422 but, hdr like in the Re2 remake will blow you away in 444. I have no idea how anyone complains about the fan. The monitor doesn't have speakers, so any sane person would be wearing a headset and would never hear the faintest sound the fan gives off. 10/10 would buy again but, wife would leave

Helligkeitsabfall zum Rand durch den Blickwinkel, Schlieren.
Ein 4K-Monitor der GLEICHZEITIG 4K, 144hz und HDR über ein einzelnes Kabel schicken kann?
Ja. Ich glaub das ist der Erste bei dem das geht.
Das Feature nennt sich DSC und kostet, entgegen dem Chroma-Subsampling, das sonst gerne genutzt wird, keine sichbare Bildqualität.
Funktioniert würde ich sagen.
Hätte der Monitor noch eine Glossy-Beschichtung anstatt dem matten Coating wären bestimmt auch 5000:1 Konstrast drinne gewesen. Naja.
Also. Monitor ist groß. Aber da ich von einem 40" 4K Philips BDM4065UC umgestiegen bin, ist es jetzt kein so gewaltiger Unterschied. Die Fernbedienung (ja, richtig gehört, eine Fernbedienung wie bei ner Glotze) ist ... hätte ich jetzt eigentlich nicht gedacht .. geschickt. Denn die erste Zeit mit einem neuen Monitor hat man sowieso nix weiter zu tun, als sich durch die Menüs des OSD zu hangeln. Das geht mit der Fernbedienung nachtürlich viel einfacher, als mit den Drucktasten und dem Joystick hinter dem Panel. Sehr gut.
Schwarz könnte besser sein, aber ich schätze es gibt einige BLB-Geschädigte die sich so ein Schwarz bis in die Kanten wünschen würden. BLB? Gibts es nicht.
Was es stattdessen gibt sind Helligkeitsänderungen, die dadurch enstehen dass das Panel so groß ist. Bewegt man den Kopf verschwinden sie. Ist also eventuell kein Monitor für Leute die 60cm vor der Scheibe sitzen. 80-100cm sollten es schon sein um diesen Effekt zu minimieren. Bei 1,5m verschwindet er ganz.
Ansonsten: Schlieren (wäre hätte das gedacht, ist ja schließlich ein VA-Panel).
Nicht mehr oder weniger wie viele andere VA-Panel die ich gesehen habe.
Beim Zocken fällt das übrigens weniger auf. Viel nerviger ist es wenn man im Browser unterwegs ist.
G-Sync: Funktioniert. Range ist 48-144hz. Mit CRU lassen sich auch 30hz daraus machen.
HDR: Funktioniert. Endlich mal das Intro von Jupiter Ascending ohne Banding anschauen. Hat was.
Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen "HDR"-Monitoren kann man das 1000 Nits-HDR vom Asus auch benutzen. Games wie Metro, FC5, NFS-HEAT oder Fallen-Order profieren davon. Auch wenn das Handling teilweise grausam ist (HDR in Windows anstellen, sich über die unmögliche Darstellung vom Desktop freuen, Game starten). Es gibt wenig Games, die bei abgeschaltetem HDR den Monitor automatisch in den HDR-Modus ziehen.
Ich hoffe MS und die Monitor-Hersteller finden da noch einen Weg.
Die ganzen Monitor-Presets kann man (meiner Meinung nach) voll in die Tonne kloppen. Ich möchte den Monitor so nicht benutzen. Einzig das sRGB-Preset geht einigermaßen. Ansonsten brennt einem jedes Preset erst mal die Netzhaut weg. Die Gamer von heute wollen es wohl knallig? Wenn man die Helligkeit immer voll aufreißt kommt natürlich auch kein vernünftiges Schwarz mehr bei raus.
Ich hab die Helligkeit erst mal auf 2 (ja, das ist kein Schreibfehler ZWEI) runtergedreht. Und den Kontrast auf 75. Dann konnte man auch hellblaue Schrift auf weißem Grund wieder lesen ohne Farbsäume an jedem Buchstaben bewundern zu dürfen.
Mit Schrift hat das BGR-Panel sowieso ein paar Problemchen.
Schwarz auf weiß frisst aus, sobald der Kontrast über 75 ist (jedenfalls bei 100% Skalierung). Weiß auf Schwarz sieht gut aus, aber schmiert dann doch ein bisschen beim Scrollen. Im täglichen Gebrauch macht es sich aber besser. Nicht so anstrengend für die Augen.
VRR mit 144hz auf 4K find ich jetzt richtig nett (wenns nicht so ein bisschen schlieren würde, das verdirbt viel vom Ersteindruck).
Der Monitor bleibt bei mir. Gibt 4 Sterne (Verbesserungspotential ist sichtbar).
Ach ja zur Ergonomie: Wer keine 2m groß ist sollte sich das Ding mit einer Wandhalterung über den Schreibtisch hängen. Unterkante auf Schreibtischoberfläche. Ansonsten muss man leicht hochschauen, was sehr anstrengend werden kann. Also ab den Fuß.
Kein Lüfter ...
Geräuschlos.
So wie ein Monitor sein sollte :-)
Die Soundausgabe ... braucht man gar nicht probieren. Grausam. Hätte man sich auch sparen können.
Schön ist es das man zwei Setup-Profile speichern kann. Ich wechsel also fix zwischen einem VRR-Profil fürs Zocken und einem ELMB-Modus für den Deskop hin und her.
Für die Kohle .... durchwachsen.
Muss man wissen, ob man das tatsächlich haben möchte oder nicht.
Alles in allem ist der Monitor zwar teuer, aber sein Geld wert. Wird erst wieder getauscht wenn es OLED in 40" oder Nano-Leds-Monitore gibt. Bin gespannt.

Die richtige Wahl getroffen mit dem Asus ROG Swift PG43UQ
Der alte Asus 32 Zoll Monitor war schon groß, dieser topt dies natürlich nochmal um ein ganzes Stück.
Da ich mir gerade ein neues System aufbaue und auch den Monitor austauschen wollte, bin ich von den anderen Asus komponenten inspiriert auch bei Asus auf die Suche gegangen und hier fündig geworden.
4K UHD (3840 x 2160), 144Hz, G-SYNC Compatible waren Eigenschaften die mich überzeugt haben.
Jetzt müssen nur noch die neuen RTX Modelle auf den Markt kommen und ich kann auch die alten Grafikkarten austauschen.
Der Preis dieses Monitors liegt natürlich auf einem sehr hohen Niveau, daher leider nur 4 Sterne.

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)!!!

I had high hopes for this monitor, but I have been constantly disappointed. I was willing to forgive the weird looking text due to the BGR (rather than RGB) subpixel layout, but this monitor also has an incredibly annoying backlight flicker whenever variable refresh rate (VRR) is enabled.
When running the monitor with VRR off the picture is stunning and the HDR 1000 brightness is incredible, but being unable to use this monitor without disabling one of it's major features is an absolute deal breaker. I purchased this monitor in May and having now spent nearly 4 months testing a total of 3 monitors though the ASUS ROG RMA process I am now completely done with any hope of receiving a fully functional screen. The money they are asking for this thing is an absolute disgrace.
As of August 26th 2020 the monitor has ceased working entirely with the splash logo barely flickering when powered on, no OSD is visible and the screen is completely blank.

Muy bien monitor. Vengo de monitor 24 pulgadas y este son 43 pulgadas (un cambio salvaje) cuesta acostumbrarse por lo grande del monitor. Resolucion Ultra HD 3840x2160 144hz brillo muy alto no es malo pero cansa antes la vista y cuando hay bordes blancos (yo cambie interfaz de windows para que se vea en colores oscuros y no cansa tanto.) Fuente alimentacion propia bastante grande como de un portatil, cable de fuente normal ( tal vez estaria bien que fuera un poco mas largo si no se compra) formato 16:9 como la mayoria de videos. Al ser resol. 4k puedes cambiar a 2k (ver ventanas juegos) en ventana de 27 pulgadas o incluso panoramico con bordes (se ven muy bien las imagenes ). Por el momento me parece buena compra y estoy satisfecho.

For someone who has dealt with using a TV for 15+ years as a monitor due to being 10 ft away. You need this for yourself. Money is no cause when it comes to this to yourself. Real 4k, Real 120hrz (None of that Tru 120hrs) no more 40ms delay think more like 4. If you area hybrid gamer that uses a PC as a console. This is for you.
Self info. Went through 7 TV's in my lifetime seeking that perfect one. this is it your search ends here guys. From all my testing only issue I've found is doesn't allow you to light up your room at night. Keep in mind you need a Display port cable version 1.4. to get the 120hrz default cable comes with it doesn't support it due to being HDMI.
For those PC hardcore guys? Keyboards are the best. this monitor sucks compared to X? This is the first step to us hybrid guys. There are only 2 43inch monitors that are 16:9 on the market. Please don't wreck it for us. By giving it bad reviews.

* The big problem *
I purchased this to replace an older 60hz monitor of the same size and resolution. However, upon turning it on to my Windows desktop, a problem was immediately apparent. Text looked wrong. Especially small text with fine 1-pixel-wide lines. It is like there is a little bit of vertical blur smearing the fine lines. It looks like a poorly configured sharpness setting, except there isn't a sharpness setting on this monitor, and the problem fades away toward the bottom of the screen! (see pictures!) It is a little hard to discern in photographs, but in person, it makes regular black-on-white text look like it has a drop-shadow.
I believe that many people notice this problem, but for lack of a better explanation, blame it on the BGR subpixel layout. I must emphasize that this problem is entirely unrelated to the BGR subpixel layout. Every 4K 43 inch panel I've ever seen (and I've seen several) has a BGR subpixel layout, and the effect of using RGB subpixel antialiasing on a BGR panel is so subtle that most owners never notice a problem. This monitor's problem is different, and can be most easily confirmed by viewing a sharpness test pattern on the monitor.
* No solution from Asus *
I contacted Asus tech support about the rendering problem, and their reply was a generic copy-and-pasted list advising things like using the auto-adjust button (yes, the one from old VGA monitors, that doesn't even exist on this model), running native resolution (duh), and trying different cables. I tried different cables, and there was no change.
After several replies, they suggested that I return the monitor for a replacement. However, before I returned the monitor, I wanted to know if a replacement would have the same issue. So I scoured various internet forums and was able to receive confirmation that mine was not the only panel with this particular flaw. I returned the monitor for a refund instead, and I will eagerly await the release of a better model.
* General panel quality *
To be fair, many people run this monitor with 125% DPI scaling, which largely masks the effect of the panel's rendering problem. It is also a non-issue in most games. So I will briefly discuss the panel quality compared to others I have used.
This panel has notably poor viewing angles, a fact which my brother was quick to point out whenever I tried to show him something on it. He would look over from a steep angle, and it would be too washed out to make sense of anything. Inevitably, he had to get up out of his chair and move over to look from a better angle. Not so with the LG IPS monitor I was using before (and after) this Asus monitor.
Motion blur is pretty bad for a gaming monitor, too. I spent quite a bit of time playing WoW Classic on it, and green player names drifting by had a distinct streak behind them, especially in dark environments. This was even with overdrive set to the second-highest setting. The highest overdrive setting was drastically overdone to the point that it created horrid overshooting artifacts everywhere there was motion, making it basically unusable for gaming. This monitor does use a VA panel, and VA panels are known for this kind of streaking, particularly when transitioning to/from black. I cannot compare this panel's performance with other VA panels however, as I have never used another VA panel for gaming.
* Conclusion *
As much as it has been eagerly anticipated, I must recommend skipping this monitor. More-advanced models like Acer Predator CG437K and Asus XG43UQ are due to be released soon (around the end of 2019), and with any luck, they may not share the same rendering problems as the Asus XG438Q.

Let me start off by saying that I did a ton of research online before making this purchase and to be honest, I was nervous this would be awful after reading and watching every review on the net. But now that this glorious monitor is sitting on my desk, I realize just how outrageously nit-picky the tech reviewers online can be. Most of their complaints are about tiny differences in specification numbers and subjective opinions that at the end of the day, are virtually imperceptible.
A lot of reviewers complained about the bezels being wide, but I think they're fine. I've heard complaints about text being illegible but text looks just fine to me at 125% scaling with no ClearType tweaking. They said the pixel response times are slow but it feels extremely snappy to me. People whine about the stand not having height or swivel adjustments, but I think it looks dope and the tilt is all I care about. Others complain that you can't do 10 bit color at 120Hz without chroma sub-sampling, which is true but I'll be damned if I can tell the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit color. One guy complained that it was way too big and nobody needs a monitor this big, but it's just perfect if you have a grown-up sized desk with a keyboard tray that positions you ~4 feet away. I even saw a review that complained about how no cables or remote batteries were included, but they must have had an engineering sample because mine came with every cable you could ever need and batteries in the remote.
Ignore all the nonsense. This monitor is pure awesome! I am totally blown away at how much of an incredibly massive upgrade this is from a 1080p HDTV @ 60Hz. The refresh rate makes everything feel silky smooth as long as you have the video card to drive it and configure your game settings properly. The colors are really bright and vivid. There is no perceptible backlight bleed or dead pixels. The 4K resolution is beyond amazing. The brightness is so intense I actually turned mine down a bit from the factory default. When you shut your computer off, the monitor only displays a brief message about no signal then the screen goes black, so you can just leave it powered on all the time if you want.
