Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Asus ROG Strix XG438Q is a well-placed, well-priced step for this new category. It's large enough to act as both a really big gaming monitor and a modest TV. Display Stream Compression (DSC) was supposed to be the first monitor to support it.
Pros
- Very large for a gaming monitor
- High refresh rate
- Very good color
Cons
- No HDMI 2.0 support
- Some chroma subsampling issues
