5/5 if I'm not being nitpicky. It's an amazing monitor, obviously. Maybe not the best value. But really the only thing with true HDR (because of it's peak brightness) and both 4k and 144hz. So when it works it's amazing. When Windows is being a pain...well... Windows is a pain.

not a typical review.. bought this monitor expecting it to be brand new unused. to find out that it had been sold and returned with issues once set up screen signal issues and turning itself off so being sent back again unacceptable behaviour for the price of this.

An ideal monitor ever built on the plant. You dont understand why it worths 2k bucks until you try this: games have never been so beautiful and gourgeous.

Upping the resolution count of your monitor has always been a good idea if you want to enjoy games with better ...

The Asus PG27UQ surely has to be one of the most anticipated gaming products in recent history. First unveiled a year and a half ago, this is the first monitor to offer not just a 4K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate, but true HDR with a full array local dimming backlight as well.

Stunning image quality; Great gaming performance; 4K gaming at 144Hz is special; HDR looks fantastic; Fully adjustable stand

Very; very expensive; Windows resolution scaling can be iffy; Hugely powerful PC needed for 4K gaming; Not enough HDR content

The ROG PG27UQ is Asus' new flagship gaming monitor that boasts a mind-boggling set of features and a price to match. This 27-inch IPS LCD panel has a 4K resolution and can refresh at up to 144Hz – something no monitor has been able to do before – and it boasts true HDR capability thanks to...

Fantastic image quality; Superb gaming performance; Stunning HDR; Incredible 4K detail

Mind-bogglingly expensive; Still only a 27-inch display; 4K resolution too demanding

To the point, the Swift PG27UQ delivers everything we have been waiting for in a monitor. In doing so, it addresses the shortcomings and compromises that come with owning a 4K display, namely having to settle for a lower refresh rate.

HDR content looks fantastic; Peak brightness of 1,000 nits; Fast refresh rate (144Hz overclocked; 120Hz native; G-Sync support; Accurate color reproduction; Factory calibrated

It's expensive; You need a top-tier graphics card to power this panel fully

Would give a 10 but the price is obviously outrageous. If you can afford it, go for it you wont be dissapointed. If not, well then in a few years time you should be able to get this tech for less than half this price. so sit tight

***Update***

Looks cool; metal base stand

The one I got wouldn't go above 60hz, tried on two different systems with two different GTX1080's; If you select any other frequency like 144hz, 165hz it will switch then just blink off then on; If you set the monitor as you default and reboot it'll never turn on.

For many buyers, price isn't going to be the only issue – after all, size matters. A 4K resolution simply can't make up for the drop in desktop space compared to 32-inch or 34-inch ultrawide displays that cost half as much.

Stunning image quality; Excellent gaming performance; Superb colour reproduction

Incredibly expensive; Limited connectivity; Garish lights and design
