We are so very pleased with this product that we purchased 2 of them! We have a 2019 MacBook Pro and a 2020 MacBook Air and this monitor provides greater picture quality at a very affordable price. We had previously ordered the a Dell 32" curved monitor that did not provide the clarity of the ASUS and tried a 4K 32" Dell that had good sharpness, but it would randomly go black because of incompatibility with our older MacBooks (not even work on the Air model).The ASUS product looks great, has USB-C so we can now power and communicate with our Macs using a single cord, the sharpness and brightness of the picture is amazing, and the numerous features are incredible.We are so thankful for being able to purchase these on Amazon!

I have an Apple Studio Display and was using a BenQ PD2705U 4k display with my work and home computer setups. The BenQ worked fine and looked decent but it just wasn't bright enough in my office on sunny days. I was considering a 2nd Studio display but needed a KVM that would allow me to switch between my work MacBook Air and my personal M2 Pro Mac Mini. This works perfectly. Single cable connection to the laptop for charging and display and 2 cables to the mac mini. I have the MacBook air connected via the USB C input to provide power delivery as well as the video feed. I have the Mac Mini connected directly via the HDMI 2.1 output on the Mac Mini, and USB devices are shared via connecting a USB-C from an OWC Thunderbolt 3 hub. This setup appears stable and works well. I do not share my Studio Display with the MacBook air so the Asus is just a shared monitor between these 2 devices that I switch back and forth as needed. The monitor shares almost identical panel height with a Studio Monitor so if you have the 2 setting side by side one doesn't look significantly larger than the other.This is much brighter than my old BenQ monitor and the default display profile is very very very close to the Studio Display's default profile as well. If you pixel peep you can see subtle differences in color but for the most part the 2 displays look identical without a lot of tweaking of settings. The color calibration certificate for mine shows a delta for DCI-P3 or .53. For sRGB it's .65. I saw some reviewers that mentioned light bleed from the backlight. I tested this and if you're really looking, in a dark room, there's a little around the edges of my unit but it's so minimal I think it's a non issue.The connections are relatively sparse compared to the BenQ but there are enough so that I can connect the Logitech Bolt receiver in the USB A under the chin of the monitor and share a mouse and keyboard between the 2 computers wirelessly. The cable management is adequate. It accomplishes the task but you do see the cables when you set the monitor to match the height of the Apple Studio Display. Some reviews I read mentioned that the stock stand is a bit wobbly, that hasn't been my experience. It levels and adjusts relatively easily and isn't particularly wobbly although I do have a very stable 4 legged sit/stand setup so perhaps that contributes to the stability.The buttons in the chin work fine. They aren't as convenient as the puck that BenQ uses but once I had the monitor setup I am usually only using the shortcut to switch inputs. The KVM switches reliably although it does take a few seconds longer than the BenQ. It takes about 6-8 seconds. One quirk I found is that I have to switch my logitech keyboard and mouse to connect to my laptop via bluetooth and provide some input to the laptop if the laptop is closed. If I don't, the KVM's auto sensing doesn't detect the signal and just switches back over to the active input. Other than that one quirk everything works as expected.This is an excellent monitor at an amazing price for what you're getting. It has outstanding video quality and color accuracy. It's 5k so it scales with a mac perfectly. The build quality isn't as good as the Studio Display but it's on par with most other monitors. I am super impressed by this monitor and very happy with my purchase.

I have reasons not to give it 5 stars, but I think that people who buy or are thinking of buying this monitor should at least watch a few review videos on YouTube about the product. Yes, the speakers are terrible, it doesn't come with a webcam, the stand shakes (I don't know that one because I'm using Vesa mounting), and so on and so forth. When I bought it, I knew exactly what I was expecting: an anti-glare 5k monitor for my Macbook M1 Max, with USB-C connection (not Thunderbolt 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9), no fancy aluminum parts, but a good quality image in a 27" 5K monitor, that is it. That is the reason I'm giving it 5 stars, it is exactly what I bought, $799ish 27 5K monitor, which allowed me to buy 2 of them without having to sell my kidneys to afford. Now that I already talked about what this monitor does not have, let's talk about what it has: excellent image quality, excellent anti-glare panel, excellent brightness (around 400 nits), and excellent color calibration out of the box (at least for me a software engineer that does not care about the perfect color P3, adobe, etc.). Would I recommend it for my enemy? No, perhaps I would recommend the Samsung Infinity S9. Would I recommend it for a friend? Yes, absolutely.
