Hi!

wondering about upgrading from my benq xl2411T 144hz monitor to the asus.

Is it worth the steep price tag?

Intel Core i7 6700K@4,3GHz - Asus Z170 Pro Gaming - Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 - Evga SuperNova 750W PSU - Samsung EVO 500GB SSD - Gainward GTX 1080 GS - BenQ xl2411T 144hz - Cooler Master Haf-X Big Tower Nvidia Edition

Asus makes godly monitors. But a $400-ish premium for 2k? I'd guess it's not worth it. Unless you've got money to burn

Nothing.

It's a great monitor. G-sync is a beautiful thing.

Thrive on change. Embrace volatility.
