Review: amazing - amazing monitor the shadow boost and ulmb are a game changer for IPS but so sad i have a 1 dead pixel , returning for replacement but seems comon with this panels to get dead or stuck pixel
Review: I spent months and months reviewing monitors and reading reddit and numerous forums to find the perfect monitor. For the last few years I've been gaming at 1080p and have really looked forward to 1440p to match my new gaming pc with ryzen 3900x, asus strix 570e and a Asus strix2070 super. I was hesitant to drop $600 on a monitor especially a new one with not many reviews. Boy am I glad I took the chance because this thing is epic. First let me say desertcart got it to me in under 36 hours from order date. It came in 2 boxes and was well protected. I have ran multiple monitor testing applications on this and there is not a single dead pixel. Not one. It was super easy to set up. The colors are outstanding! Super bright beautiful colors with dark blacks and perfect whites. It's very bright. Not too bright but just right. I was worried about the panal texture as I had read numerous complaints about it being crummy. Well either those people are crazy or they have fixed the issue because its gorgeous and looks fantastic. I have been gaming like crazy since I got it. Doom Eternal and Modern Warfare look soooo good. Better than I could have ever imagined. 1440p on 144hz with gsync has been buttery smooth. You can overclock it anywhere between 144hz to 170hz. 170hz runs well and is very fast. The stand and design are superb and very well made. The stand does sit deep so you will need a decent amount of depth on your desk to fit it. If you on the fence about which monitor to get strongly suggest this over the TUF gaming ips and all the LGs. And as for old pg279q, why get an older model that's more expensive, slower, not as bright, and only benefit is a g sync module which isnt even necessary anymore. G sync works wonderfully with my 2070 super. This monitor has significantly better backlight bleed than my friends 3 pg279q's. The lottery with these panal is significantly better than previous models. The colors are fantastic and super saturated beautiful colors its hard to even look at my old monitor now. desertcart has excellent return policy so trust me on this one and give the XG279Q the try it deserves. You won't regret it.. Update 8/10/20 Have had the XG279Q for about 3 months now and I am still extremely happy with my purchase. Games look soooo good on this thing the colors just pop. I have had zero issues with mine since day 1 I have zero dead pixels. It is disappointing to see some having issues with theirs but remember the majority of people who buy this panal are happy with it and dont even leave reviews the few that have QC issues are sure to come leave a review. I realize I was lucky and got a good panal but thats why desertcart is great you have free returns. If you aren't happy with it return it. But it's one the best all around 1440p monitors in 2020. The price fits the performance and quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The fact that does not have DisplayPort 1.4 is an issue for future proof matters?**
A: No. Display port 1.2 is sufficient got 1440p monitors 170hz. Display port 1.4 is only needed when using 4k resolution this monitor does not offer.

**Q: Freesync/ adapative sync over hdmi? or dp only ?  really important question i need anwsered. asus told me they do. i literally had to buy hdmi to dp.**
A: DP only

**Q: I know Asus monitors, sometimes have an issue with their ventilation and the monitor can be pretty loud, has anyone noticed if this is loud at all**
A: Mine doesnt get loud but it does get quite hot.

**Q: Is Gsync active at 170hz?**
A: Yes, although I keep mine at 160hz. While playing Red Dead Redemption 2 I experienced some slight flickering when the screen turned mostly white at the full 170hz
Although in counter strike and other games I had no issues. Monitor is insanely awesome! Was skeptical at first of the price tag, but now that I have it I couldn’t go back!

Also easy to switch from different Monitor speeds on the fly. So going from 170 to 160 or 144 and back is quick and simple.

*by A***R on 30 October 2021*

Do not listen to most of these people who are giving this monitor bad reviews. This monitor is a beast and probably one of the best 1440p monitors out for this price. I would highly recommended this over its competitors and the 270hz doesn’t hurt either.
