Technical benefits: what it actually gives you

0.03 ms GtG: the pixel stops being the problem

An OLED switches every pixel individually, so the state change is roughly twenty times faster than the best LCD. Ghosting from slow transitions and overshoot (those bright halos trailing objects) both disappear. Whatever motion blur is left isn't produced by the panel any more, but by the eye-and-frame system itself.

Glossy finish: more perceived contrast

The matte anti-glare coating on most monitors scatters light and lifts blacks slightly. This panel's glossy finish preserves the OLED's absolute black and sharpens the perceived crispness of text and silhouettes. The condition is controlling the light in the room: with a window behind you, you'll see reflections.

Cooling and OLED Care against burn-in

OLED's historic weak point on a PC is the static interface. ASUS combines a dedicated heatsink, panel-care functions and Anti-flicker technology, and backs it with a three-year warranty that covers burn-in. It doesn't eliminate the risk, but it turns it into an insured one.

How it performs by game type

Tactical shooters

Valorant · CS2
9/10

240 Hz and 0.03 ms give a very clean image, and OLED contrast makes a silhouette in a dark corner stand out far more than on TN. It gives up some raw frames and some persistence handling against the BenQ with DyAc 2, but the gap between 240 and 280 Hz is milliseconds: most players gain more from the contrast.

Mechanical speed and precision

Rocket League
10/10

Probably the best of the three here for Rocket League: 1440p at 240 Hz with instant response draws the ball's path with no trail, and OLED contrast separates the ball from the background on dark maps. The extra resolution also gives you more usable information than 1080p.

High click-rate PvP

Minecraft
8/10

Visually spectacular with shaders, but it's the scenario where OLED Care matters most: HUD, hotbar and minimaps are static elements shown for hours. With the care features on and burn-in warranty behind it, the risk is manageable.

Mixed competitive play

Roblox
9/10

For a player who mixes competitive with social games and content, it's the most balanced option: 240 Hz is more than any Roblox experience needs, and the panel is just as enjoyable for video or browsing.

Pros, cons and who it's for

Strengths

  • Third-generation WOLED panel with 0.03 ms GtG
  • 1440p at 240 Hz: resolution and speed without choosing
  • Glossy finish with absolute black and 99% DCI-P3
  • Dedicated cooling and a three-year warranty covering burn-in
  • G-SYNC Compatible

Weaknesses

  • Glossy: it reflects if you have direct light behind you
  • Fewer hertz than the BenQ and no DyAc-style strobing
  • Burn-in risk with static interfaces, even if it's covered
  • 1440p at 240 fps demands considerably more GPU than 1080p

Ideal for: Someone who wants one monitor for competing and for everything else, and prefers the OLED image to 40 extra hertz on a TN.

Review summary

4.4 (769)

The reviews agree that this is many buyers' first OLED and that the jump in image quality beats expectations, with frequent mentions of the glossy finish and the blacks. The usual OLED pattern shows up too: users asking about burn-in and valuing the warranty coverage.

First time OLED User

I absolutely love this monitor! This is my first OLED monitor, and I decided to make the upgrade as I was completely revamping my setup. First things first: the OLED panel - Super crisp. The colors are exceptionally vibrant, and every game just looks better to the eyes. The 240hz refresh rate is a nice plus, although I will say, I did not notice any real difference by jumping from a 180hz monitor to 240hz. Next, is the size - At 27", this monitor delivers amazing 1440P quality. At first, I was hesitant to downsize from a 32" 1440P to a 27". However, I genuinely don't even feel like I have noticed a significant difference, especially as I also upgraded my VESA Mount to an articulating mount,

Great gaming monitor!!

Love it! Have had it for maybe 3 weeks now no issues. Picture quality is great u definitely need the right HDMI cord that can support the type of quality u are trying to stream. Xbox supports 4K and comes with 2.1HDMI so I am able to use 4k at 60hz for watching things on this monitor and it will activate the HDR settings at that point. The only “con” I would say which isn’t really a con just an annoying thing is the pixel cleaning. I make sure to do it whenever I have the pop up bc I don’t want burn it but it takes like 6 minutes and sometimes I just wanna get right on and play but I have to wait. But it’s worth it for the longevity of the monitor. U do need speakers it has no speakers. I di

Crazy Blacks, Amazing Value, 100% worth the money

the sweet spot for gaming really is 1440p and 120hz++. This monitor is amazing. I cant really see the differrence in 4K vs 1440 but I can absolutly see just how amazing the image looks on this glossy OLED. I watched Tron - Ares on this monitor and all I can say is wow. The onscreen menu is simple and easy to use. The G-Sync with VRR worked out the box with my 5090. I had two minor problems with the monitor so far. I didnt use the included stand, I have my own vesa mount. And the included vesa mount attachment for the monitor was VERY difficult to get attached. I was hesitant to really press down hard to get this thing to click in becuase I didnt want to damage the monitor. I did get it in bu

Glossy W-OLED is incredible and EVERYONE needs to know

I almost never do reviews. I've had this monitor for 5 months now, and it's been exquisite. Every now and then, an EPIC product comes along that is leagues above it's class or previous generation. Products like the first AGP video cards, DDR memory, Intel core 2 Duo, the 8800GT, the first TI graphics cards, solid state hard drives, the GTX 1080, AMD 5800x3D, and now there is this monitor right here. Ever since LCD look over the market, nothing has some close to the response time, clarity, and brightness of CRT monitors. This monitor right here is as close as it gets. Expect the INKIEST of blacks. The gloss is perfect, just enough matte to prevent heavy reflections while maintaining 90+ perce
