Arrived earlier than expected. Everything as expected, great quality. Although i would have returned this item if it was a gift to someone as the asus box had scuffs and some continuous dents on it as if someone hit it with teeth of a hand held saw. Screen was still brand new

I own both this model and the entry-level Asus model that runs around $160. The economical model uses a separated cover that folds into a triangle as a single, angled support for the monitor. It’s very mobile, but it’s my beater - the family mini-van of mobile monitors. It gets the job done, not very well, and I don’t want to be on it for too long. Stacked next to a MacBook, the resolution difference is hard to overlook. This model is bulkier with the folding stand. Twice the thickness due to the stand, but allows the user to angle it exactly how you want. The HDMI cable did NOT work with my MacBook, but the Type C cable worked fine. Apparently, not all cables work, based on some data that’s exchanged between the monitor and MacBook before it registers a display. Also comes with a USB power adapter, but the MacBook M1 powered it fine. I’m really happy I paid for this higher model. The resolution and brightness against my 15” M1 is a lot closer than the models with less resolution. It makes working on it way more enjoyable and a more cohesive, visual experience. I’d opt for the better display if you can. It comes with a soft case. I wish, like the less expensive model, it came with some type of hard protection for the screen. For now, I just put some thick cardboard in the protective pouch. By the time the soft pouch has the monitor, USB adapter, HDMI and USC cables, the pouch is at least an 1.5” thick. So assume when you travel with your laptop/Macbook, stick the accessories in there. Nevertheless, would recommend.

The screen, unlike the 144hz 1080p version, gets sufficient charge to not drain when connected to USB C port on my laptop (Asus M16). The screen and image qualities look good to me and the gaming performance is good. So why 4 stars? 1. The bottom bezel is massive relative to the M16, which also has a 16" 2560x1600 screen, making it impossible to line up the screens without propping up the laptop. 2. The menus are very difficult to navigate, but that's really an Asus thing across all of their products.

I love the resolution on it; the color is amazing; the precision of it is nice; it is very clean; and in portrait mode, it looks amazing and is very useful. Let's just see how long it will last before something happens, which I hope will be a long time because it is very expensive. Other than that, if there was anything that I could say about it, it is that I wish I would of bought a touch screen, but I am okay without it. The quality and sturdiness are there. Overall, great buy. I would recommend it to anyone seeking an additional screen.

Purchase this to pair with a ASUS Zenbook S13 Ultra. They are the perfect pair for any traveling professional. Fantastic picture Quality. Solid construction. Price was reasonable as well.
