Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Best IPS monitor for console gaming. Went from gaming on a huge 50+inch tv to a 27" monitor for what I've heard would be a better and more fluid gaming experience. I have to say I'm never going back to a large screen tv again. Just stick to big screen tvs for movie / tv viewing and monitors for gaming. I use Xbox one to play on this monitor. Now, the "best" is if you want a monitor with the best of both worlds for response time or low input lag, AND picture quality. This monitor has the best and deepest blacks I've ever seen. Console gamers - to get this out of the way, do not buy any monitor thats any more than 75 hz or a 4k. 4k "upscaling" it is a misconception. Consoles will only push 1080 p and 60 hz. This monitor and any monitors I've tested out do just that except for the 4k. Bought a Benq RL series monitor and learned its a TN panel which gives lowest response time but low color reproduction. Which basically I didn't think was the greatest picture quality. Even after calibrating the settings. At viewing angles - especially for console gamers who sometimes want to sit at a slouch position (relaxed) can cut off the image quality. You have to sit in front and upright to get the right viewing you want. As for the speakers - it just merely provides sound. Nothing more. I don't care for this because I game with my Astro headsets. I went out and bought this monitor to begin with assuming it was the BEST gaming monitor out there. It is heavily marketed and talked about in the gaming community. The "best" is misleading. It is a great monitor to its own and recommended for MLG gamers. Theres a reason for that. Bought a Samsung UHD 4k UE590 monitor and learned I didn't need it since 4k is still young. With outdated display connectors, punishing hardware requirements, and lack of os and app support besides netflix and prime that can stream 4k. && the picture sometimes appear grainy while the 4k is trying to push the 1080p and 60hz. Whatever you do... YOU DO NOT NEED A 4k (unless you want to drop 2000+ on a rig and proper video card). Consoles only push out 1080p 60 hz nothing more! so stick to that. Also, theres already talks of a 5k or 8k!! Bought a Asus Vs series monitor (IPS) and compared it side by side with the Asus MX that I chose to keep. The Asus Vs is a great monitor to its own with lower response time but the color reproduction is so VIBRANT with okay blacks. This makes the picture quality appear GREAT but it also makes it appear flat. Thats only because I had the Asus MX side by side with the Asus Vs to tell the difference. When it comes to response time you are talking 1ms (benq), 2 ms (asus vs), and 5 ms (asus mx). THE BRAIN AND EYE CANNOT... CANNOT... tell the difference between milliseconds. Thats a science fact. On paper, yes. Trust me, I went back and forth switching my HDMI to each of these monitors and it all feels the same. So if you are a competitive gamer aiming to be a MLG then maybe, just maybe the 1ms monitor would matter to you... or maybe not (input sarcasm here). Honestly though, it is input lag you want to be worried about than response time. The Asus MX monitor actually puts out the lowest input lag out of all the other monitors I've tested out. Overall I am VERY pleased with this monitor (Asus MX) and the choice I've made. Definitely made my moneys worth. The Asus MX monitor as I said earlier offers the deepest blacks I've ever seen. It makes the picture quality pop so wonderful and definitely doesn't make the picture appear flat like the Asus Vs monitor. The blacks offer texture to the colors, picture, and gaming experience. BE SURE YOUR XBOX ONE SETTINGS IS SET TO PC RGB!!! Oh, front the extra cash if you can for a 27", you'll thank me later. I hope my journey and review helps you find a great monitor for your gaming pleasure or even use it for PC.
