Hey,

I am thinking of buying this monitor which seems to be on heavy sale right now. Anyone know if this is worthwhile?

No all these monitors with nvidia sync v2 have fans which are quite distracting.
I would say get the Acer XV273KP is better as it’s using the same panel minus the backlighting and nvidia now supports freesync.

I am not a fan of Acer mate tbh, the lights wouldn't bother me I just wanted to know if the monitor was worth the price.

Think he was referencing the fald backlight which is a good thing. The issue with the asus is the fan that's needed to cool the panel. It can be pretty loud by some accounts.

No worries, it's ordered now anyway so will let you all know what it's like. Thanks

I’ve owned this monitor and the fan was never audible. It’s currently the holy grail of monitors. The HDR is the best I’ve seen, and image quality is excellent. Only real downside is cost and 4K being a bit demanding for gaming, depending on your setup.

I kinda wish it’d go on sale again, at 1799 it was tempting me but the current price is mental
