My PC randomly recognized this as a new monitor. Most of the black plastic has a slightly gray appearance compared to other black peripherals on my desk. Does not allow you turn off the USB pass through when the monitor is asleep as the MG279Q did.

I don't need an LED to tell me if my monitor is on or off. but has no option to turn off the LED as the MG279Q had this feature which was nice. Power LED is used as an indicator and so it changes from yellow, red, and white etc. Red ROG logo goes into breathing mode when monitor is asleep instead of turning off. Red ROG logo is not RGB so I turn it off as red doesn't go with my PC build or theme.

Price, this monitor is expensive but not unreasonable for what you get when compared to other monitors, you get what you pay for. No gloss! Textured plastic stays clean and looks good all the time. Slim bezel and flush screen make the image on the screen appear as though it's sort of floating there and look someone what magical or futuristic compared to older screens with larger bezels. USB pass through handy for wireless headset and keyboard which don't get as good of reception plugged into the back of PC tower. 2560x1440 gives more space for multitasking in window or more room for more buttons in MMO games or wider view in FPS games. Makes using windows and even viewing webpages appear more sharp and vivid. Most 4k YouTube videos are available in 1440p and video games will have the option to run in 1440p. 1440p is noticeably sharper and better looking than 1080p when the content is available. Aesthetically pleasing to look at, aggressive styling yet look good with my some what un derstated professional look. Quality build, looks and feels quality, very sturdy even when adjusting height, pivot, swivel etc. G-sync turn on and off when it supposed to easily with no hassle (compared to MG279Q which I could not get to work with certain games namely BF4) Full range G-Sync from 30-165 fsp (compared to it's free sync equivalent MG279Q with 30-90 FPS range) 165Hz is great for gaming IF your video card can put out that kind of refresh rate. Vivid colors from the IPS panel (compared to a TN panel, specifically the Asus VG248QE) This review is from: ASUS ROG PG279Q Black 27" WQHD IPS 2560X1440, NVIDIA G-Sync Gaming Monitor, 165 Hz refresh Rate, Slim Bezel Design with HDMI USB Ergonomic EyeCare Technology
