As far as the Asus’ appearance goes, the side bezels are a bit large, and the top and bottom bezels aren’t the same size, which I find visually off-putting.

I also feel it comes across in how colors present. Technically, the monitor’s results are modest for an OLED monitor: It has a color gamut that spanned 94 percent of DCI-P3 and 89 percent of AdobeRGB. That’s a tad more narrow than top QD-OLED monitors, which can hit up to 98 percent and 95 percent,
