Asus ROG STRIX XG43UQ monitor review

In this review, we will be putting the ROG STRIX XG43UQ through its paces. Ultra HD, HDR1000, 144Hz panel, and among the first big-screen 43in gaming monitors that come with HDMI 2.1. For just under 1500 EUR/USD it is your, but is it worth the money?

No FALD, no eARC and its a VA panel. I'll stick with my cheaper, better performing LG C1 48" OLED thanks.

Its a computer monitor that can be used all day, everyday for years.
I had a B series OLED that I used as my monitor and within 2 years it had ghosting and burn in.

great job HH. this was probably one of the more fun jobs @ review.
however, i'm going to pick nits (literally and metaphorically).
as mentioned the competition to this is eminently superior by design.
which means there are fewer parts with fewer points of (potential) breakdown and better uniformity of chroma and luminance and higher contrast in a less expensive set.
ANY C1 series panel from LG (including Sony and Aorus) ranging from less $$ (LG) to more $$ (Aorus and Sony) will outperform this monitor in Real World as well as spec. conditions.
and no TimmyP, your experience with the older B series doesn't count as it doesn't have the modern features of both Asus and LG.
ghosting will be a bigger problem with a VA panel than any OLED especially with the C1 series.
burn-in only happens (nowadays) with 24/7 chirons like Fox news and that's if that was the only use for the tv.
even long slow paced games (like Civilisation) do not burn in the screens of the C1's.
the single biggest problem with this monitor is the implementation of edge-lit FALD which by itself creates the luminance and chroma problems.
the second biggest problem is the color gamut. VA panels are incapable of wide color gamuts. only OLED and IPS can deliver rich, realistic (as in like real) colors. VA panels are fine for gaming but little else which is why they are not used by TV manufacturers.
when someone buys a monitor this size it is always for multiple uses. this monitor has a single case use scenario which would be fine if it was smaller - like 35" (which would still fit desks) but not for a living room. unless the only person living in that room is a gamer. but at this size i'd take a wager that another person is involved in the decision making.
the nits alone do not make a case for this monitor in the real world.
all VA and IPS panels are a work around to OLED.
FYI, i own three Asus monitors (ProArt, TUF, and ROG) this isn't about Asus per se, it's about performance and value.

Cant compete with this for FPS though. 144Hz and 1ms response time. Not to mention proper 1000 Nits HDR and a picture that doesn't deteriorate over time. Sure its expensive but what else on the market does 4K / 144Hz / 1000 nits / 1ms?
And just lol @ no eArc. It doesn't run Netflix.
