Pros & Cons
Pros
Mini-led makes a huge difference. In hdr mode, it is super nice, vibrant, and immersive. It has a matte finish. The only issue is the fact that there is a green tint when utilizing hdr.
Firmware is upgradeable via usb6. The firmware can be updated.
This packs a wallop for the price. Ergonomics and adjustability are excellent. I highly recomend it if your trying to move up and not spend what you shouldnt.
Asus 4k designo has speakers designed by bang and olufsen. A little more tweaking with picture controls should help. Good for gaming, not so good for productivity unless in text mode.
Cons
Customer service is slow and took nearly a month to approve the rma. Usb-c fails to wake and display port at times. Kvm usb hub seems to only be 2. Lastly, fald itself needs work.
The coolermaster gp27u is very buggy and i’d recommend you avoid getting it until they fix the obvious issues with it. The monitor suffers from tremendous light bleed. Firmware update process is not very refined and you end up with system menus that m... Read More
Local dimming is poor, especially with the mediocre anti-glare coating. Hdr mode has very limited brightness for me by default, and the brightness adjustment slider stops working after 30%.
Highlights
Quality
Excellent color accuracy, great pixel response, smooth transitions between inputs.
This monitor is advertised not only for gaming, but also for productivity workflows because of high black levels with mini-led,... Read More
Poor colors in dark backgrounds and lots of blooming when local dimming is enabled.
It makes the screen have a rainbow glitter effect on any bright color so for any web browsing it was heavily distracting.
Price
This has been the best for the price.
For the price, the specs on this monitor are amazing.
Bought it when it was on sale, made the purchase even sweeter.
Would recommend it, especially for the price.
Shipping
It arrived a week early and in perfect condition.
Had to wait a while to receive it overseas.
It shipped the same day i ordered it so that was great.
I ordered mine 2/2/23 and got it on the 7th, and the delivery originally said the 16th.
Packaging/appearance
Arrived in perfect condition with no dead pixels.
Came pre calibrated with an hdr profile from coolermaster.
Competitiveness
I'd compare getting a true hdr10 display coming from sdr alienware uw like dvd > bluray.
The tempest's speakers easily lose the contest, but for me, having speakers in the monitor is better than not having them.
Because the asus 4k designo is sitting right next to the tempest g27u, i can make a/b comparisons rather easily.
