Comparison Charts
Pros & Cons
Pro:
- No color temperature artifacts (a bit of red, which are the less visible than green or blue color temperature artifacts in which the most Full HD 1080p, 144 Hz TN panels suffer)
- Freesync with a range from 48-144 Hz + Freesync works great
- Excellent (best) build quality and a beautiful design
- Own settings are saved within presets + 2 Favorites
- Excellent foot stand & cable management
- Easy OSD overview and navigation
- NVIDIA 3D Vision support
Neutral:
- Included is a "Display Widget" software to manage settings within the Asus software (nothing special, it's an OSD menu as a software app)
- A bit washed out colors without gamma setting changes within graphics card software or hardware calibration
- No backlight strobing feature
- No black equalizer
- No USB hub
- Build in speakers
Cons:
- Not the best blacks. A bit grayish. Blacks are pretty important and giving better colors, contrast and improving the overall image quality)
- A "small" pixel inversion Problem @144 Hz (horizontal scan lines, by far not that noticeable like on the Asus PG348Q or the Samsung CHG70 for example)
- Not that good overdrive settings as on WQHD G-Sync models or other Full HD Freesync alternatives. However, the difference in games is pretty slightly whereas the difference within test images is much more visible
- No gamma settings
