What customers say about "Key Specs"
ASUS ROG Strix XG258Q eSport Gaming Monitor
- If you're looking at playing games at the ultra-ultra-wide resolution, understand that it's graphically intensive.

- Gaming is great but I need to update my rig to take advantage of the higher resolution.
- Overall very good quality product with good resolution.
- It’s surprising just how much better working is with this size and resolution.
ASUS ROG Swift PG258Q eSport Gaming Monitor
- 240fps looks amazing. I was a 4k gamer before that and heard all the pros play with high refresh rate.
- Very good! Really love the bigger resolution, G-Sync, high refresh rate.
- So how is 3440 x 1440 as a resolution. Amazing is all I can say.
- I though I would miss the 4K resolution, but after using the monitor continually, I have zero regrets whatsoever.
- This is truly a great monitor, great build, great size, great resolution.

What customers say about "Features"
ASUS ROG Strix XG258Q eSport Gaming Monitor
- No issues when unboxing, and VESA mounting was easy.
- The on-screen refresh rate counter happily goes up and down when gaming, proving that the feature is working.
- It's FreeSync 2, meaning that it passes some of the feature set needed such as HDR.
- Well made really good options and features and the perfect size for gaming, designing doing work.
- When you remove the stands you lose the extra lighting feature.
ASUS ROG Swift PG258Q eSport Gaming Monitor
- The colors are superb the g sync feature makes a noticeable difference when playing games on high.
- Gsync is AMAZING. I think that it is the best feature of this monitor
- Disable backlight if you are using it for work.
- Games do not work fully and can still have screen tearing, but just switch on V-Sync as well and you are fine.
- The OSD is good even if the UI takes a bit of getting used to.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
ASUS ROG Strix XG258Q eSport Gaming Monitor
- At any rate, you will need to connect using DisplayPort to make use of as much refresh rate as you can.
- Don't even bother unpacking the supplied HDMI and/or Mini Display cable, they're utterly rubbish and don't even support the specs.
- This monitor does come with a display port cable and a HDMI cable.
- Comes with display and hdmi cable.
- Only 1 hdmi 2.0 port, stands take up a fair bit of desk space.
ASUS ROG Swift PG258Q eSport Gaming Monitor
- Pretty much every option available to connect the monitor to a PC.
- I connected the monitor up to my PC running SLI GTX 1080. Good connection.
- It came well packaged, with everything you need (even a HDMI and DP leads!).
- The DP cable that came with the monitor did not want to post an image at all.
- The monitor does come with both a display port cable and hdmi, however I would recommend using your own as both of these cables are rather short.
