Asus ROG STRIX XG43UQ monitor review -
Photo overview
The Monitor
In any high-end single-player game as well as mainstream esports titles, the 144Hz refresh rate is sufficient to provide flawless action in any situation. Asus supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, which enables variable rate synchronizing in conjunction with HDR and is compatible with both Nvidia (Adaptive sync) and AMD graphics cards.
Here we have the packaging, it differs from regular monitors as the feet are already mounted. After removing plastic from the two long metal legs, the only thing that stands out on the front of the monitor is the lower frame, which is partly made of plastic like the rest of the screen and partly with a brushed effect, and which is shaped in such a way that it frames the ROG logo with a metallic effect on the bottom.
Packaging is done carefully and really well. In contrast to other panels in the same category, the ASUS ROG Strix XG43UQ does not compromise aesthetics.
As an added bonus, there is a little remote control, which is important considering that we are talking about a screen that is also intended to be used while sitting on a sofa, and the screen is supported by a monitor stand with an aggressive appearance.
Although there are no mechanisms for rotating or lifting the panel, there is a tilt feature, which is quite beneficial for allowing a screen of this size to be used in situations other than the living room.
The overall construction quality is excellent, and this extends to the other three bezels, which are not exceptionally thin but are made lighter by cut corners that soften the outlines of the screen. To the front it's dark, and the back distinctly different in white. I like that.
The Asus gaming monitor is supported by large metal legs and has the ability to project an RGB LED ROG logo onto your desk or TV stand. Its surrounding bezel, on the other hand, is broad, and the item weighs 15.3kg and is 302mm deep, making it significantly larger than the ordinary flatscreen TV. It doesn't offer much in the way of adjustment, either: only 15 degrees of tilt back and forth and support for 100mm VESA mounts.
Today we’re putting the new Asus ROG THOR 1000W PLATINUM II power supply on our test bench. The company is not so much known from their PSUs (as they’re rather associated with the motherboards, graphic cards, monitors, or peripherals). Still, we had a chance to check the first Thor at the end of 2018, when the 1200W version was reviewed (priced 329 EUR/USD), earning the “Best Hardware” award. Will the new version be as successful?
