I have NEVER had problems with Asus monitors. Every gaming monitor I have bought is from them and all were great for their time. In fact I even use their graphics cards and motherboards without issue. when I first built a PC almost a decade ago I decided to go with an Asus MOBO, GPU and monitor because I heard good things and even though recently I hear some youtubers talking about bad experiences I personally have not experienced it. I have an almost entirely Corsair setup because I like to control my whole PC under the same software and Asus MOBO and GPU RGB is controllable via Corsair iCUE software which is why after the first motherboard problem with the backwards capacitor which technically was not their fault it was the factory that was producing for them (they did do a bad job with the RMA and the only problem was a backwards capacitor which could have easily been fixed by the user if they know how to solder and flip it back around and wanted to go that route). I have only ever RMA'd one thing from Asus and I had a good experience and it turned out that the motherboard I sent for RMA was not even broken and was my Corsair power supply because the motherboard would light up but the power button would not work even when I bridged the power connectors on the actual motherboard I was told power supplies can still be dead and still be able to provide power to the components (I confirmed the problem by bridging 2 connectors on the PSU which I was told would turn on the fan inside which never turned on). Corsair also had a really good RMA for me and I got a replacement within a week after the old PSU had arrived at their RMA centre. I will wait several months to see if there are improvements. I currently use an RTX 3080 from Asus and a 170Hz 1440p HDR monitor from them too with a Crosshair VIII mobo and these work fine. If Corsair does collabs with other brands for software on computer parts I may consider them whenever I next build a PC but right now my main focus is on improving my setup rather than getting a new PC because I have been using a trashy old office chair I got for free and over the years I have never upgraded the setup only ever put my money on my PC and monitor and I am also the type of guy who is not rich but will spend as much time as possible saving up for something really high end rather than jump the gun on something cheap because I spent a while saving up for that 3080 12GB and was living off a sub $150 GPU for a year (I built this PC when the GPU pandemic had just started and I never managed to get a GPU at launch because of scalpers until the market died down and when it did I didn't have money because I needed it for other stuff). I am currently slowly saving up a ton of money to drop on a Herman Miller chair or something because I have sat in one of the cheaper ones which had an entirely plastic back and that was the most comfiest office chair I have ever sat in and I have sat in chairs worth a couple hundred dollars (it was in a charity thrift store and was put up for auction on their eBay store page and I was outbid by a huge margin which I did not have at the time although I still would have payed it if I had the money because there was no scratches at all besides the wheels from the chair being pushed around outdoors in the street and so on by the people dropping it off as well as being in the warehouse)

If you have the AW3423DW/DWF and you buy this one you will see the difference in clarity and colors, I was so excited for this monitor and loved the 240hz,curve, extra brightness and features more than than my alieneware 34 inch oled but as much as I wanted the 240hz and this immersive curve that increases visibility in fps. I felt I need to pack it and return it as the clarity in text(even after using Mactype app) and working in windows especially whites showes some of that coating smearing. Also the price was 1236 euros for an open box new was 1450 euro. If I was coming from the Ips 34 inch 160hz lg ultra gear I would have been impressed, but coming from QD oled 34 inch 160hz, I felt even if I have downgrade back to 160hz and the lesser 1800R curve its a better oled experience IMHO.
