I have tested 5 different large display monitors and this one, by far, takes the cake for me. The resolution is perfect for both immersive gaming and productivity tasks which is a balance that I found difficult to achieve with other monitors.
I’ve compared this with 2 Samsung Gaming monitors, the 55″ Ark and the 43″ flat gaming monitor. Also compared with the 48″ LG gaming monitor and the 38″ flat ASUS gaming monitors. No need to share part numbers because there’s only one monitor with those specs from each manufacturer.
Picture quality: Excellent, although I haven’t tested HDR as some other reviews have mentioned, regular non-HDR picture quality is excellent in productivity apps, games and cinema.
Variable Refresh Rate in games: I use G-Sync and it is flawless
Curvature: Perfect for me, as this monitor is placed arm length from me.
Resolution: Perfect for immersive gaming and productivity (split screen too).
Build quality: Excellent, the stand is solid, the monitor itself feels solid, but definitely follow instructions provided in the box.
Gaming features: Excellent, you get the crosshair and you get to choose which kind. You also get a desktop app so you don’t have to mess around the monitor menu if you’d like to change something quick. G-Sync works flawlessly. Variable Refresh Rate is a definite for gaming if you ask me, but you’ll have to manually enable the feature.
OLED Care: Excellent, monitor takes care of itself with pixel shifting, cleaning and screensaver so no worries about OLED related issues, much less likely to happen as a result.
Text quality: I have seen little evidence of text quality issues, however this is App dependent. I have noticed this in some text boxes on few websites in my Firefox browser, but nowhere else. I use a variety of Microsoft productivity apps, other browsers as well and this is a non-issue for me, but your mileage may vary.
In summary: Excellent monitor 5 stars, I hope other concerns brought up by previous reviews (text quality and HDR) get resolved soon with firmware, however I wasn’t able to replicate them myself. Good job ASUS.

I was waiting for ASUS to make the first move and we finally got our first firmware update for the hdr issues. I believe some more firmware updates will make this perfect. Still some color banding, but depending on your game film grain will take care of it. Example Cyberpunk 2077. I will come back and give it its five stars when ASUS have fixed the color banding issues. Overall I seriously love this monitor it’s my 32 inch 1440 p monitor but more screen, immersion, color (OLED)and refresh rate amazing! Paired well with my 4070ti super.
Only honest complaints. The stand is horrible. I like my desk a certain way and the stand does this weird vortex with the legs. Had to buy a desk arm but it looks even better! Text isn’t great but I knew this, and wanted it for gaming specifically.

There arent a lot of reviews on this monitor. I know becasue I could barely find any.
Ive been searching for the perfect monitor for awhile. I’ve tried a few. Im’m a software developer who games in my off time, so lets call it 60 Productivity / 40 Gaming. I recently bought the AW3225QF 32 inch 4k OLED which has great resolution for an OLED. The 32 lost the immersion in games and was just a little too small to have two windows open comfortable. I was trying to get away from a Samsung G9 that while looking great, didnt have enought vertical for software development and was too wide for gaming (The hud was way out).
On paper, this is my perfect monitor – almost. I was reluctant due to the price and the resolution (3440×1400). The few reviews I saw mostly complained about poor text quality. The truth is, the internet is full of keyboard warriors who have an opinion but never tried it. Then it went on sale, so I took a chance.
My take with it sitting in front of me? Its 90% of the monitor I wanted.
I mounted it on my HD arm. Its taller than the G9 by 2 inches and a few inches narrower. Perfect size for gaming. OLED is beautiful for both games and productivity and I cant go back.
Productivity:
Its wide enough for 2 windows, 3 if one can be smaller. I get all the height of the 32. Scared about burn in? Not really. By the time I get any (if I do), Ill be upgrading anyways. This is a gen 3 panel, so theres a lot of ways to keep that from happening.
Text Clarity:
Heres my ONE complaint. What I wanted was exactly this monitor with either a 1600 height or higher resolution in OLED. They just dont exist – yet. Roadmap from LG says 2025, so hopefully a year or less away.
Clarity is less than both my AW3225QF and my mini-led G9 – marginally (at standard settings). Im getting older. My eyes are getting worse, so while day one I noticed it, by day 2 I had all but forgotten. I made a few settings changes like upping scaling to 110%. In browsers, I went to 125%. I still have plenty of real estate.
So heres my two cents, at the right price, for me, this will carry me I think until the same size is available in OLED at a higher resolution. Becasue I love everything else about this monitor, I plan for this to be my daily driver until an upgraded version is released. Until then, Id highly recommend this monitor.
PS – this arrived on Friday. Tomorrow is Monday, so back to work. If anything changes when Im more productivity focused, I’ll report back.
