I love this monitor. It was my first monitor with increased refresh rate (144hz) and it is amazing. In addition to my gaming looking so much better at the high FPS, the overall picture quality is flat out awesome. I highly recommend this, and plan on getting a second on myself soon for a dual display setup. Again, I love this monitor.

I bought this back in July to replace a 60hz monitor and I am extremely happy with my purchase. Not only is it a slim design, the display is great for my gaming. I've recommended this product to two friends already. I also love that Asus is giving a 90 day warranty extension for writing reviews for their product.
