Strengths:
-Only 42" 4k120hz 16:9 W-OLED monitor on the market at this time along the Phillips Evnia
-Great SDR color gamut
-Great for productivity, gaming (SP games, not for competitive FPS)
-Optical digital audio output (S/PDIF)
Weaknesses:
-HDR issues since day 1, still hasn't been fixed by Asus engineers. Color gamut and tone mapping is wildly inaccurate even on the latest firmware (V040). It's been nearly a full year.
-Poor port placement/design (leads to flickering issues via DP1.4)
-Only tilts +/- 5deg, no other ergonomic adjustments are possible
-Poor SDR peak brightness with uniform brightness
-Matte coating (great from a bright office environment, bad for dimly lit rooms and vibrancy is poor compared to glossy)
-Most expensive 4k OLED panel on the market ($2000 w/taxes originally)
Additional Comments:
Do not buy this monitor - the LG 42" C2/C3 is a much better panel used as a monitor and it's glossy. It's also half the price.
