    I bought it for 240€ 3 years ago and I have used it for gaming, movies/series, and professional use. It is quite good for its price. Its response time is quite good as it has not caused me any difficulties in gaming. The image quality for a TN panel is quite good, as well as its viewing angles, it is perfect for movies/series. I have noticed a very slight ghosting, but you don't notice it unless you look for it and it doesn't bother you at all in gaming.

    Asus guarantee. Quality construction, sturdy base without taking up much space on the desk. Viewing angle... okay, not the best, but the colors are very nice. It has built-in speakers, but don't expect DTS.... 120hz, 144hz with 1ms and 27". Adjustable height, cables pass through the base and are hidden. The menu is okay, they could have made it better. At a Black Friday price of 260 euros, it is highly recommended.

    For those who want a 144hz/1ms delay monitor at a very good price, this monitor really does the job! Flawless in every aspect! The difference from a 60hz monitor is unbelievable! The best settings for the screen, in my opinion, are as follows:

    Settings:
    - Cinema Mode
    - Contrast = 83
    - Saturation = 42
    - Color Temperature = User Mode and all 3 at 83
    - Skin Tone = Natural
    - Sharpness = 50
    - Trace Free = 40
    - ASCR = On

    To have 144hz on Windows 10:

    The monitor itself is set to 60hz by default. So, to make it 144hz, go to display settings, click on Advanced Display Settings, press Display Adapter Properties, go to the monitor tab, and change the screen refresh rate to 144 Hertz.

    This monitor is truly worth every penny! Perfect price, perfect image, and comfortable eyes! I highly recommend it!
