First, UPDATE THE FIRMWARE. It's ages old and has a ton of problems.
Second, CONNECT THE USB. It's used for some driver control or something. Even thou it's supposed to be only a passthrough. The armory crate use it and it help with the problems.
Third, LEARN NEW CURSE WORDS. Yes, no way around it.
The big problem: Displayport HPD .
What? It's a bug/feature that detects when the cable is connected and turns off your monitor. As if you didn't just connect it yourself and expect the thing to show an image. NOOOO it will just go to sleep.
There is no solution and ASUS will not move a finger for it.
Expect to waste around 5 minutes every time you start your rig. The PC will not detect a monitor, so you manually turn the monitor on, then the PC is already not sending signal so you manually enable it, but the monitor is already asleep because of HPD and everything all over again. Until you get lucky and PC and monitor agree to work together and let you play.
What could asus do? disable HPD !!! or give it longer detection period, like, more than the 1 frikin' second that it has now.
( Note, some genius is selling a hardware emulator that keeps the HPD alive and fixes the universe... it costs more than the monitor... )
The display looks great, good build quality on the stand, you can easily twist and turn the monitor's position very well. The image quality is good, once you fiddle with the settings. The 4 buttons aren't in the best spot, on the back of the right side. The overlay for changing display settings is caveman-esque at best, just a bunch of squares thrown together, but you figure out the buttons in a few minutes.
My problems with the monitor were the following;
Any refreshrate above 60 at 4k using the provided HDMI 2.1 cable had flickering issues. Usually it would stop after the monitor was on for a minute or two, but it would seemingly happen randomly overtime.
It's also very unclear if the monitor is off, starting up, or connecting to the input. Many times I turned the monitor off, thinking it was off, but it had just not connected to the input. You can't use the bios while it's loading. The startup screen is also very slow, and covers the middle of your input for a solid few seconds after loading.
My main problem was bad quality assurance. The first monitor I bought had a dead pixel in the center of the screen. The second one had two. If I'm paying $600+ for a product, it shouldn't have issues like this. No question. After the second one, I chose to buy a different monitor, which was a very good decision.
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.
I am happy to say this is one of the few outrageously expensive items that I am satisfied "the price was worth it". I am fortunate though to have a gaming budget and can save for these kinds of things. I game to offset the stress from my work. And if I am taking the time to game, I want it to be the best experience possible. For the crazy people out there who just want the best monitor (or TV < 32") for whatever the cost, I think this is it for the PS5.
Pros: IMHO, Best monitor (or TV for that matter) for the PS5 at 28". My career is focused on cyber/technology type stuff, and I have plenty of references to have tried prior to ordering this. I put in a lot of research, and this monitor exceeds my expectations.
Cons: Expensive - I decided to get the warranty; I pretty much never do that since tech changes so fast. There will probably be more cons in the future, but ASUS has been good to me. If I'm using this in 5 years as a desktop monitor for work, then it was worth it for me.
NOTE: This review is specifically for the PS5 and does not include Xbox/PC gaming testing. For someone reading this review and wondering about how it looks for anything else, I suspect it will look great.
The VESA mount is deeply recessed, not flush with the back of the monitor. If you have a mounting plate that slides over the monitor mount, you will have to install the mounting plate on the monitor loose before hanging the monitor on your stand. I have desk mount monitor stands that have this issue.
This monitor has an in-line power brick and not an integrated power supply. Seems like it could have been integrated into the monitor electronics.
The control buttons are located on the side of the monitor. If you have a dual monitor setup, you will be moving the left one a lot if you need to access the menus.
When enabling some features from the monitor's OSD, it disables many others. Its a mickey-mouse system. Once you enable HDR in Windows, you lose the ability to change the brightness and other settings from the monitor.
Now for the bad parts. In some of the reviews here, people are complaining about the colors. When you connect the monitor at first, the colors are super saturated. This is not specifically an issue with just this monitor but rather how HDR is handled in general. You have to select "HDR mode" in the graphics settings which correct the colors and in fact give them more volume.
The second issue is with the Display Port. When the monitor goes to sleep, it doesn't wake up properly when moving the mouse. Specifically it turns on, flashes a black screen with "Display Port input" banner and then turns off again. It can be turned on again by using the power button, but this is not how it's supposed to work. I saw several people complaining about it. The fix is to stop using the Display Port and go for HDMI.
Over all, I would but it again.
If not for the dead pixel literally everything else was as expected, not as bright as mingled back lit style monitor but plenty bright, speakers work, 4k looked great, shadow boost was a surprise bonus that will make those dark environment games so much easier to see on.
(Update, got another one no dead pixels, great looking monitor. The base has pretty long legs, be sure you have a big enough desk space to not hit your mouse into the base.)
ASUS makes some great monitors just send me a 100% working when I buy new and I'd give it 5/5.
I play in 120 on a PS5. I play Rocket Lg, Call of duty, and MLB the Show. Baseball just recently came out for 120FPS. I am looking forward to all the years I will have with this. All games look fantastic. But I mainly play rocket lg and baseball in 120 FPS. 120 FPS isn't that mind blowing, but yes its def noticeable and needed after you get used to it. Pair that difference with these amazing colors and you have an amazing gaming experience. I'm amazed at when I 1st turn this thing on every time. I would buy this again.
Problems:
- When connecting it will start playing complete static over the audio for no sensible reason. This is when I am connected to DisplayPort and computer is not outputting audio. In fact the monitor audio settings say it is 0 volume and off. But it will endlessly play static. This annoying drone of static I am currently listening to and has motivated me to write up a bad review logging it's issues, so maybe there is some good coming of it.
- The monitor is smart enough to be incredibly stupid with multiple inputs. I have a work computer on HDMI and a gaming computer on DisplayPort. I restart the gaming computer while monitor is using its DisplayPort and it will immediately switch to HDMI. Then I have to go and switch back to DisplayPort in the monitor settings as it won't switch back on it's own. The monitor doesn't like to switch inputs via the menu and often refuses to do so unless I give it a good 10 seconds between input switches. This is longer than my gaming PC takes to reboot and is very annoying.
- The monitor refuses to let you look at the menu if there is no active connection to a computer. If it isn't connected (or just doesn't think it is) to an active video connection it will immediately go to a standby mode when turning on, and it's impossible to see menu settings. When first turning on the monitor I thought it was broken since I couldn't bring up a menu.
- The monitor often can't be reached or detected by my Windows 10 gaming PC with RX 580. I power cycle my computer several times over and the monitor never connects to my computer. Adding another monitor to the PC reveals it has booted and is functional and the display can't be detected by windows. After 20 minutes of having no idea what is going on the display randomly starts to be detected again.
- The monitor advertises 4k @ 144Hz over DisplayPort but that is only possible if using a DP1.4 connection AND using DSC (compression) otherwise you are over the DP 1.4 bandwidth. However DP 1.4 can support 4k @ 120hz which is close enough, however the monitor EDID doesn't create a profile for that. So the highest setting I can get on my computer which doesn't support DSC is 4k @ 100hz. I had to use the CRU windows tool to force 4k @ 120Hz which works great but should have been available by default for the monitor.
I have had several previous monitors and these issues are all unique to this monitor. I was on V024 firmware and updated to latest V025 firmware but these issues are all still there.
I thought ASUS was a reputable company and time will tell if they fix these but I'm seriously considering returning it given these issues. The hardware all seems decent behind the product but it seems like they fell short seriously on the firmware for the monitor.
