Still love mine. Looking forward to an OLED replacement one day with the same features and size.
thanks for you review
Nice review and monitor. Any similar alternatives to this?
What would be the best portable gaming monitor for the ps5
Will this work on dual monitor setup?
it was expensive to buy this but once you consider the price of a full Custom build Mini ITX Gaming PC with a RTX3060 and this monitor it's still cheaper and more powerful than the latest gaming Laptops available. Fits into my gaming laptop bag with the ITX PC and all accessories Keyboard/Mouse Etc.
Hey 9to5Toys I have read some reviews about this monitor on amazon and some people are saying they paid the $600 and didn't receive the stand which sucks and also like can you change the refresh rate to 60Hz at the office to get extended run time and how long and also then after work if you are still using you can get it to 240Hz for gaming. Thanks and sorry this comment is so long. Thinking of making a purchase soon...
This is really an excellent and well thought product. I wished there was a 60Hz 4K version.
I'd rework the intro, the intonation when you say thanks for viewing sounds like the video is over.
what about the facts? The monitor is so dim you cant see it in normal light, the case/stand wont stay on, why the tripod did not hold it in vertical? this review seems to hide the bad point to much.
I guess there is no tilt control? - would be nice to tilt back or forward a bit.
@@passingthrough... - thanks for the late reply - have been considering this for ages, every few weeks I look again - I gotta get it - as expensive as it is :)
@@passingthrough... - The most appealing thing for me about the Asus is the stand - will go perfectly with my Macbook - so refresh not the main appeal, - so yea - with the stand its priced pretty crazy, and the battery - that I need. - The choice is this or to lug around a 24" dell - which I am currently getting tired of doing.

My goodness I love your video style and voice and overall Chanel I just discovered you from watching one's your videos from a year ago about the logitech z606, and I just have to say absolutely love your style and your voice you seem very calm and relaxed and that goes good with the style the videos are just amazing i just clicked this one and the gopro and 30 seconds in i can tell its amazing, you're a very undrated channel and you deserve more, I hope youtube hits you with there feed strike where you'll be popping up on everyone's feed i swear keep it up i love the amount of effort you've been putting in all these years and its so amazing that your still going at it!!!
No hdr???
Why not place the in/out on the rear of the panel? Cables protruding from the sides are ugly and distracting.
then you would have to make the monitor thicker because the length of the tip of the HDMI for example is longer than the width of the monitor.
@@BIRDYFPS Thank You for pointing that out; it’s making more sense to me now.
Just get L shape extenders if you don’t like the cables sticking out from the side like me. It looks more zen/elegant 😂
I hope Asus makes a version with: 60Hz 2560x1600 with higher brightness for professional use.
Check out the LG Gram View, been using it for months and really happy with it
@9to5Toys what's the size of the Macbook Pro from the video? Thanks
15-inch
Nice question！
Does it support 240hz on NVidia via HDMI or do you need AMD FreeSync via USB C?
USB c will support vsync but not hdmi mini can only do 240hz
@@Carlos13C1536 can you say that again?
@@alvinpatrick both can do 240hz
@@Carlos13C1536 cool. Thanks!
Can this be connected to a Nintendo switch using a usbc cable? I dont have to use the dock , correct? Please answer, I’d appreciate it
I don't know about the usb, but hdmi is ok😀
AFAIK you need a 'dock' of some type. It's not built to charge the switch unfortunately, but adapters are sold, and you could use a separate power source for the switch.
I got this monitor and it had terrible backlight bleed on lower left corner :( also felt cheaply built, disappointed.
Would you consider selling me your XG17 tripod?
I bought this monitor
Yeah? Is it worth it?
@@JaySouth3 Nope
No DiSlIkE!!
Expensive, take my deslike
just got mine and I would NEVER use that floppy crap stand sideways... £530 monitor on flimsey piece of bendy material lol no way.
Can you tell us how the monitor has held up? So many bad reviews about bleeding, not charging, died after a few months, super dim etc etc etc. Thanks
so expensive!
let me translate the title: “low resolution screen that needs to be charged”
Kinda stupid to use for editing
