I was recommended this monitor previously by someone here on the forum for a budget $500ish gaming monitor and if I hadn't already purchased mine I would take the deal!

I agree that it is a great deal but the reviews are so bad.

Lots of people having problems with it, i read the reviews and im terrified of getting a bad monitor especially that im on a budget.

what is your opinion about it?

I ended up ordering one. Give it a shot, and if it has issues, I'll send it back. . .

From what I hear if the monitor even comes to you without any issues its a great monitor but overcoming the dice roll is what many people are experiencing, you always have the option to RMA it if you happen to get a dead pixel, or back bleed but personally for me I would take the risk at such a discounted price and just keep crossing my fingers to get a good one, it sucks that ASUS quality control isn't up to standard but at least you always have the reassurance of getting your money back or an exchange. I'd say if you have a tight budget and want a great monitor I would put the money on it if you don't mind the possibility of spending potentially months until receiving a good product. But if you are more concerned about getting a product at your door step that works right out of the box guaranteed then it might be better to look into spending more money for a different more reliable monitor.

Since this is an accessory monitor to my triple display setup replacing my RMA'd LG UWS that is currently being replaced (and then will be sold brand new). I have the time to wait it out as needed. Wont go back to newegg though, I'll go straight to ASUS and use their rapid replacement program.
