Good to know
To get 200Hz, connect with the included DisplayPort cable and select 200Hz in Windows display settings; it does not switch on automatically. The stand tilts only, so for height or swivel use a monitor arm with the 75 x 75mm VESA pattern.
FAQ
Is 200Hz native or overclocked?
Native. 200Hz is the maximum listed in ASUS specifications, and the monitor is VESA AdaptiveSync Display 200Hz certified.
Does it support G-Sync?
ASUS lists Adaptive-Sync and AMD FreeSync; it is not listed as G-SYNC Compatible. NVIDIA cards can still enable G-SYNC on Adaptive-Sync monitors over DisplayPort, without official certification.
Does it have speakers?
Yes, two 2W speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
