Blurring is slightly more noticeable than some models we've
IPS panels are not made equal
The screen still looks grayish in the dark like most IPS panels
sometimes difficult especially in the dark
the refresh rate is limited to only 60 Hz
A bit pricier than the ASUS model
60 Hz refresh rate is a downer here
No HDMI to HDMI cable is included with the monitor
integrated monitor speakers are generally disappointing
The screen appears to have almost no bezels
the small buttons are a little too eager in response
otherwise does not adjust in height or rotate to portrait orientation
Asus has a tendency to exaggerate and imbalance its color palette
touch-sensitive buttons are a little too eager in their response
it makes colours looks slightly less vibrant
its stand is fixed
text looks a little jagged on a screen
backlight bleeding in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen
viewing angles fell a little short of the claimed 178 degrees
the display does not rotate to a different orientation or does not swivel
it is clearly not made from metal
Picture quality is only passable
missing are powered USB slots
the picture does look a little soft and fuzzy to us
color variances will not be as noticeable in games or movies
IPS screens generally encounter homogeneity problems
there are no advanced gaming features
has a lower input lag and higher peak brightness
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
Ergonomics score has dropped slightly
the 1080p resolution is limiting if you often consume higher resolution content
