ASUS PB258Q 25" Widescreen LED Backlit WQHD Monitor

I use two of these at work every day. Really nice monitors. I mostly write code so the real estate with one vertical is excellent. I haven't played any games on them seeing as I use them at work but I'm very tempted to pick one up for my home pc.

The monitor looks great, this is being used as a secondary monitor to my pg278q. I love the other monitor for games but there's something about watching movies on it that isn't right. There's a jerkiness probably related to the other monitor being at 144hz and not syncing well with the movie format.

I wonder though if there was a glossy version of this would I like it more. My Dell IPS monitors for work are glossy, but they look really good too. I don't have the reflection issues that other people seem to be sensitive to.

  In summary this is the best monior I've used. At work I use/used Dell IPS monitor (21.5"),

  Not sure if this was intentional but the base seems big, but a little smaller would've been nice, but doesn't affect my usage of this monitor.

very nice. good black levels, brightness and color. very good image. also the edge-to-edge screen makes it pretty light for its size. a breeze to assemble or disassemble and a quite sturdy stand.

I was skeptical of if this would be a purchase i'd regret, but after seeing the way my games were MEANT to look, im blown away. I paired it with a GTX 970, and i run almost all my games on Max settings at 50-70 fps.

  -Loud as hell out of the box, make sure you turn it down or rip eardrums -Bright as hell out of the box Both incredibly minor complaints, and only took a second to fix

I bought this in 2016 and it has been bullet proof. I have connected this to my macbook pro to create a more workable desktop arrangement and have been very pleased with it. Would definitely recommend!

I would give it 5 eggs, but there is a tad bit of back light bleeding on my left top corner. I thought I had some on the right bottom corner, but it was the LED on light, and putting black tape over it fixed that issue for me.

  The monitor looks great, and the stand is top notch.

  Had to put black tape over LED because it was so bright.

Happy with how easy it was to put the stand together and how nice and clean it looks. Also came with every cable imaginable, which was nice. There was a slight imperfection on the plastic surrounding the screen but it's very small so I don't mind. Functionality wise it's as expected.

In the bottom right corner, it seems as though the glass is pressed against the LCD. This causes a large amount of backlight bleed/light distortion. It bleeds in a triangle with a height of about 3".

  This monitor is everything it is made out to be. Great color, contrast, and functionality. All for an enticing price.

  Rare quality control issue with my monitor. I am sure the rest have no cons.

We use this monitor to view continuous slide shows from a small computer under the monitor. The colors are brilliant and the range of viewing angles is incredible. The photos have never looked so good and have incredible detail. The IPS display is superb.
