I am interested in this monitor. I would like to use it for gaming, on and off line, surfing the web, email, and other general home use. I cannot afford the high system requirements of the 34um95. 2 to 4 Nvidia gtx 780s, titans and such which people...

Hi George. I have a i5, 16gb ram, and a GTX 660. I play Borderlands, Evil Within, and other games on max video settings and on the native (max) resolution. The games run perfectly and your video card has more power than mine. I love this monitor! I have also tried using the 29" and it really was too small. If you need any examples or demos on the monitor, let me know and I can make a youtube video for you. Youtube video: http://youtu.be/ypMN7Ya4j9c

Ware - thanks for instructions, the good news and the calibrate info. Very much appreciated. I have two 970s and like them but for the big LCD I want to try to get as good a picture as possible so will order a 981. At least that looks like the best bet. I hope so.Whoops! Meant "...big DLP..." if that matters.Thanks again!

Yes. That extra edge costs money. Go look at the equipment reviews on tomshardware.com (cpus, video cards, etc...) they have monthly best buy guides, and performance per dollar charts. When you start hitting that bleeding edge performance, prices skyrocket. Frequently for improvements that are outside the realm of human perception. That being said, I am very happy with my 2ms response time, and have decided that all my future monitors, if they are anything like this one, will be BenQ

It all depends in your price range, personally this is the best monitor I have ever owned, and I'm considering getting a second one

Is this the monitor I want to get for fact paced FPS games? Is it a 60 or 75 MHz monitor? I run a Nvdia gtx960 card.

This monitor has only a DVI dual link connector, no VGA nor HDMI. If you can install a dedicated graphics card that (also) has that sort of connector, you're in business. It's a very clear and sharp monitor. Be sure your card will support the resolution to get the best out of it. I[m using a GTX 770 card. I've had no issues with this monitor so far. it arrived with no dead pixels.

As a life long Apple user I'd be the first to tell you if it was worth it for the Apple display, but it's not, not when this screen is $300. This screen would be amazing if it was $600, thats how beautiful it is. Don't get any ideas Asus. Seriously though, don't get the Apple Display. If you buy this screen I personally promise that by the end of month one, you'll love it just as much as the computer you use it with. if you're a gamer I would pass on this display, but for everything else this is what you need. I'm looking at it right now (it's hooked up to my PS4) and i'm smiling. Thats how happy this amazing screen makes me, but to answer your question, it's works perfect with the macbook pro.

While it has the performance to play most modern day games, it doesnt reach its peak capabilities due to the graphics card. If you are looking for gaming, its recommended to get a resolution of 1920x1080 and a graphics cards that is a Nvidia GeForce gtx model of the series rather than an nvidia geforce gt. Only problem is the cost will be. much higher, so if this is in your budget, this isn't a bad choice

Hi j. If you want it for surround it's fantastic but if you use it in one screen even 1440p I would recommend 780ti unless you go sli like me. I ran 3 lg 1440p then get red of them. I now using two screen 27" lg 1440p 60hz for work on it and 27" asus 1080p 144hz for heavy gaming. It is like dream. But in my opinion right now go fo 980 it will be 15% higher than 780ti and the price around 500-600. You can go sli around 1200$. GoodLuck

I don't game, if you are a casual gamer maybe, if your a serious gamer you probably wouldn't of asked! for $400 it works well, a good game card (GPU) start @ $250, hope this helps.

Heres my advice, Get the 29" Ultra Wide, 2560x1080 is amazing. $423 is worth the price. you will never go back to dual monitors ever again. Now that being said, you first have to get used to having a shorter monitor but will love the ultra widescreen. Almost all games I have played support the 2560x1080 (I love all the extra space) and yes games do keep their aspec ratio, you just see more on screen without stretching or squishing. anywho GET IT! or the $1000 LG.Now if you have funds for something bigger and better then checkout the LG 34UM95with a resolution of 3440 x 1440https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnrxNfxRK_4 Heres my advice, Get the 29" Ultra Wide, 2560x1080 is amazing. $423 is worth the price. you will never go back to dual monitors ever again.

Depends on your monitor setup, really. How many monitors are you rolling? What are resolution you will be running at? I love my Titan. but the GTX 780 is also quite awesome. But do you need 6 GB of RAM or 6 GB?

I can't imagine having 4 Titan Blacks in Quad SLI. That's 4k for 4k. I bought 2 GTX 770's in SLI and am told it would run really slow on a 4k so I will probably go with a high definition ips monitor. If you got money like that though I don't blame you for going for the best.

Yes, it is an awesome monitor. I had to turn the brightness down, but this is true with any monitor really. I get eye strain, but this is a personal thing. However, it is an awesome monitor well worth the price. Asus makes great hardware.

Hey man. Yeah I bought it for gaming. It's freaking awesome man, it works perfectly and has been the best piece of equipment i've owned yet. I bought it to finish my $1,200 gaming computer setup. I highly recommend this monitor.
