With the blue light filter and high color accuracy, these have been the best Asus monitors I have used so far. On some of the less expensive Asus monitors, I have noticed dead pixels and maybe a weird stand configuration. These are not issues that I have dealt with on these monitors. Currently I personally use four of this model of Asus monitor. The two in the picture have been in use every day for the past two years. No flickering, no issues.If you are trying to charge a laptop, and also get video from the usb c connection, that is apparently possible (depending on the device), but you will need to do a software update on the monitor first. You will need a clear usb drive for the software update. I would not plan on using power and video through a single cable though, especially for a laptop. Maybe you can use your iPad like that, but there can be issues with laptops. Plan to use a separate power cable, and second video only cable. This should not be a deal breaker, as there are so many docking station options that you probably should be using. Do not expect a monitor to act as a docking station as well.These monitors do have smaller speakers integrated into the frame. You can only send video with audio over hdmi, so do not expect to connect a DP or usb c cable up and get audio over video. Expect to install other speakers if you are using this as your main desktop though. The integrated speakers are more for OS sounds or to listen to someone talking. Music will not be full sounding, with the flat monitor speakers only of course.The 75 mhz screen refresh rate is correct, and works for me through both hdmi as well as dp video connections. Certainly a good value when you compare other monitors in this price range. For the same price you can get a non color accurate HP monitor. Or a Chinese made Samsung with a bunch of dead pixels. Or a reliable, but basic Dell monitor. I chose this monitor, again four times.Depending on the monitor size, you may receive different types of stands. The stand for the 24” version allows you to flip the monitor sideways without disassembling anything. The stands also hold the monitors securely, and do not move around while you are typing. Surprisingly I never thought the stand would be an issue until using some other Samsung monitors.These are VESA mount compatible. When you take the stand off, the mounting holes are underneath. Very clean monitor mounting as well. No extra weird part of the stand is poking out or anything. Like on some other HP and Samsung monitors.Games look super clear. But these monitors are really designed for the designer using illustrator or photoshop. Someone who needs color accuracy for correct print designing. Normal things, like the windows desktop, look beautiful though. So yes you can play games and it will look very clean.If you are debating going up to the 27” or 32” size, you will probably only need one monitor at either of those sizes. The 24” size is perfect for most normal desks with a two monitor setup. A single 27” could work in place of two 24” monitors, like at the desk setting in my pictures.I would not recommend the 32” unless you are using it in a conference room or sitting back from your screen a considerable distance, like minimum six feet.I have set up thousands of computer workstations throughout the mega office buildings around Northern Virginia and DC (this is not an exaggeration). This information has come from that experience in dealing with these workstation setups, and the issues created when moving all these items around.Make sure you are able to take your monitors out of the box and thoroughly test the screen before final install, within the return window time. This way you are not finding strange artifacts or scratches on your screen, from a rough delivery, after going through the trouble of removing the old monitors and installing the new ones. I have not run into monitors ruined from the delivery process often. But if you do, you will be glad you are in the return window still.
