I've compared this monitor with in-person testing to two 1080p Ultrawide Gaming Monitors:- Acer Nitro XZ306C (VA Panel, 1ms VRB, 200Hz) (Purchased for $219.99 + Tax, MSRP ~$397.99)- MSI Optix MAG301RF (IPS Panel, 1 ms, 200Hz) (Purchased for $269.99 + Tax, MSRP $329.99)This unit is also an IPS panel, 1 ms, 144hz native refresh rate, but overclocked to 220hz, purchased for $399.99 + Tax. MSRP when this first released was $899.99, but Amazon keeps it on a steady sale.The Acer, obviously was cheapest (at the price I purchased it), and had great vivid colors (VESA Certified HDR 400!), but also horrible streaking, ghosting no matter what settings I did. Typical VA panel experience, but unfortunate that I couldn't take advantage of the capabilities because it was intolerable visually. (I recommend this panel for gamers that play "scenic games" primarily, you won't be disappointed. Horrible for FPS.)The MSI I believe to be the best value of the three, because 200 Hz, 1 ms is very respectable, and the variety of appealing 1080p Ultrawides for FPS gamers is extremely limited. Most 1080p Ultrawides have lower refresh rates and there increasingly is a push for 1440p panels, even though there's still many users of graphics cards 2-3 generations old. So if you want a high refresh rate 1080p Ultrawide for your GPU (in my case a RTX 3060 Ti), the field of options gets small real quick. The MSI packs everything you'd expect in this: low response time, high refresh rate, a bit more screen real estate without crushing the GPU, and the price is good. Don't expect impressive HDR.Which leads me to the ASUS, which is the best on paper and in application, but it is NOT the best value. Why?PROS:- The specs of the panel itself (20hz higher refresh rate over the other two).- A more versatile stand than nearly any other monitor I've used and many on the market (how many OEM monitor stands have an integrated 1/4" socket for DSLR and webcam right out of the box)?- A built in KVM switch for multi device use- USB-C with DisplayPort functionality for laptop use or sufficient power delivery to charge up a smartphone (the only gaming 1080p Ultrawide I'm aware of with this function)CONS- The included cables are extremely stiff, and the port placement being poorly implemented makes it quite difficult to plug in and cable manage when setting up if your monitor / desk has a wall behind it.- The stand, while extremely versatile, lacks sufficient height adjustment for tall users like myself (6' 4") because of the 1/4" socket taking up the final 1-2" of the stand. The low range of adjustment is not uncommon among OEM stands, but just because it's not uncommon doesn't mean it's acceptable to require tall users to either get a different stand, set the monitor on a separate elevation, or buy a separate stand, or face poor ergonomics. ASUS ROG makes a desk clamp on stand for its ROG monitors, but this unit is not compatible (major fail ASUS).- The price. $399.99 is a great deal relative to its MSRP, and the ASUS has the best specs and the best feature set. But is it worth $130 more than the MSI? I would argue it isn't. 20hz is not a tremendous increase in refresh rate (pretty much not noticeable in my experience), and a 1/4" socket for a camera nor a USB-C port makes a $130 value perspective justified either.Which one do I daily use? This one! The ASUS! It is the best in its category, and if I'm going to keep / use this monitor for years to come, I wanted the best that I could buy for the specifications I required. If you share that, then get this one! If you just want high refresh rate, low response time, and 1080p Ultrawide, you won't be disappointed with the MSI alternative either.
