Most Favorable Review

Great first step toward better gaming

ASUS ROG Strix 32 inch WQHD 2K 1440P 180Hz with AMD FreeSync 1ms HDR400 ELMB Sync USB-C Ai Powered Curved Gaming Computer Monitor with Phone accessories slot Height Adjustable, Swivel & Tilt stand XG32WCS
ASUS ROG Strix 32 inch WQHD 2K 1440P 180Hz with AMD FreeSync 1ms HDR400 ELMB Sync USB-C Ai Powered Curved Gaming Computer Monitor with Phone accessories slot Height Adjustable, Swivel & Tilt stand XG32WCS

Pros: Sturdy: Most monitors require snapping plastic into plastic to mount the stand, not this one. Metal hand screw to imbedded metal receiver for the base, four metal clips to mount screen to stand. Solid. Built in Menu is very intuitive and a breeze to use. Excellent picture. I'm running a 3060 as my gpu and it's not even raising a sweat. No anomalies, just beautiful displays even with high speed games.

Cons: Could have used longer power cord and longer HDMI or Display Port Cords.

Overall Review: This is an excellent monitor to start playing and streaming in 2K. Reccomended!!

Pros: I managed to get this card by use of the New Egg Shuffle. Very quiet, in fact the card has to be put under a very heavy load before it gets warm enough to spin up the fans. Even then the fans are quiet. Huge jump in gpu power from my old R9. While I would have rather had a 3080 or 6800, I'm very happy to have gotten this card.

Cons: Disappointed that ASUS didn't have a ROG driver ready when this came out. Had to use the generic Nvidia driver for the first two weeks until ASUS got caught up on it's driver support page.

Overall Review: Excellent lower end card for gaming. It will easily handle 2K graphics for most games. A little disappointed in the cost, but such is the nature of the market right now.
