I picked up this monitor a few weeks ago to replace a 60hz Asus 27" monitor that I had. I have eyes that are pretty sensitive and after viewing anything for a few hours on my other monitor I could get a headache fairly easily. I used to never get a headache with my old 160hz CRT. When I heard Asus was going to take their 3D monitor, drop the 3D stuff that came with it and produce a 144hz version of their 120hz 3D monitor I was pretty pumped. And then when I looked up the input lag time (very important to gamers...and don't confuse it with the advertise grey2grey time (which is 2ms for this monitor) and the input lag for it is 3.6ms @ 144hz and 7.9ms @ 60hz (some games, especially on console are locked to that). That's amazing...especially for a high quality 27" monitor (my old asus was almost 20ms). Needless to say my headaches have now gone away and my reaction time is slightly faster since my input lag is significantly reduced (over 1 frame which in fps/fighting game terms is pretty huge).

So far I have nothing but great things to say about this monitor. It DOES NOT come with the 3D kit. You will have to spend 100-120 to get a kit with the emitter + glasses IF you want to run 3D. So keep that in mind if you're purchasing. This monitor is being marketed mostly to gamers who want a good advantage in regards to input latency and also easier eye strain.

I bought this not really doing my due-diligence with more researching first. I have owned multiple upon multiple ASUS hardware over the years and have grown to favor their products and expect nothing but quality. While I'm satisfied with this monitor I feel that for what you get out of it is not really worth $500 (after tax and shipping charges). The 3D viewing experience on this monitor is top notch! The 144Hz refresh rate is very satisfying and really a game-changer if you are coming over from a 60Hz display such as myself. However, IMHO I can not tell the difference between 120Hz and 144Hz when actually viewing fast-paced content or not. While that is obviously subjective I could have gone with the VG278H and been completely satisfied and saved money in the process. For the VG278H the IR emitter is built into the monitor and the 3D glasses comes with for ~$100 more than the VG278HE. Having gone the VG278HE route I had to pay ~$150 extra for the Nvidia 3D Vision 2 wireless kit which includes the IR emitter module and 1 pair of 3D glasses that brought my overall purchase to ~$660.

This paragraph has to do more with the technical aspect of the tech than anything so that those who don't know any better can hopefully get an idea and understand what is being presented to them. Given that this is a TN panel the viewing angles are not as graceful as it is marketed as. Yes, you can still see the screen and make out what is happening at a 160 degree viewing angle BUT the image quality is ugly. While being directly in front of the monitor if you move your head literally inches in either direction this greatly changes the contrast and color (simply stating, you can look up why this change occurs if you are curious enough).

I bought this monitor to replace a Samsung monitor that was black screening and flicking back on a off.lucky for me I got a square trade plan and they are sending me my money back. So I decided to get the ASUS Monitor because it would be better for gaming. This is a way better monitor than the Samsung I had and only cost about 40.00 more. What a difference love it pictures are nice a crisp. JUST A NOTE
TO GET THE •144Hz refresh rate YOU NEED TO USE DVI CABLE ( included with monitor )will not work with HDMI already tried.

I bought this monitor solely with FPS (frames per second) in mind. coming from a 60Hz IPS display (ASUS PA248Q) - actually dual 24" 60Hz IPS displays - this monitor performs excellently, despite its 6-bit panel. (for more on the difference between and IPS, typically an 8-bit display, panel and a TN, 6-bit display, panel like this model go here: [...] it basically boils down to the amount of possible colors the display can produce, but many modern TN panels (such as this one) employ what is called dithering.

with the limited amount of colors a 6-bit TN panel can produce in mind, it's easily understood why this restriction creates more-unnatural transitions between colors or even shades of the same color - known as artifactual tearing. what dithering does, is basically scatter pixels allow the transition line between colors or shades of colors. this creates a sort of blurred effect which tricks they eye into perceiving the gradient as be much more fluid. 6-bit panels + dithering = a display capable of "displaying" 16.7 Million Colors

the range of calibration on this monitor is particularly good. rather than fussing around with the settings of both monitors, I decided to let someone else do the work for me - a professional! product reviews for monitors, when extensively and robustly technical, provide a plethora of useful information for a new monitor owner. I just so happened to find a website which is professional analysis of display performance via digital calibration tools. this particular website also happened to have a database of ICC profiles! ICC profiles, for those who don't know, are a means of adjusting the color/brightness/saturation/contrast/temperature/whatever else you can think of that is in the monitor's OSD menu.
