When looking across all areas of this monitor, it is the best we’ve tested and the best on the market today. It combines a high resolution that’s well suited to gaming, with a top-end refresh rate, and throws in true HDR performance into the mix with few issues and performance to back it all up. It’s better than the 27-inch 4K 144Hz G-Sync Ultimate monitors in our opinion, although obviously it’s a different format display, so it won’t appeal to everyone.

If you can stomach the $2500 price tag and get past the haloing effect in dark scenes, you will not be disappointed in what this monitor has to offer. I haven’t audibly said, “Wow!” at a piece of hardware in a while, but have with this, and for that reason I had to give it a gold award. You’ll also have a reason to wear your cool sunglasses while gaming as well.
An outstanding, ultra high price ultrawide PC gaming monitor. And one that marries ultra high refresh rates, exemplary HDR support, and stunning SDR visuals... once you turn off that variable backlighting weirdness anyways.
The ASUS ROG SWIFT PG35QV sets a new high bar for premium gaming monitors, with silky-smooth 200Hz NVIDIA G-sync Ultimate adaptive refresh in a huge ultrawide format – but you pay an immense amount for the unique ability.
Overall the Asus PG35VQ is an excellent monitor to have if the price tag is not an issue, and if you do have the budget for the PG35VQ, then, by all means, go for it.
Overall from a technical and performance point of view it's a very good screen. Not without a few faults and limitations, but in many areas it far surpasses what the competition can offer right now. We think this is probably going to fall in to a niche for those who want a premium HDR experience for either gaming or movies, with proper FALD in a desktop monitor and solid performance. That's definitely a strength of this model. The other niche is for those who want a larger and wider version of the PG27UQ and have the cash to spend on what is an expensive, but very decent display.
The Asus PG35VQ is definitely worth the wait if you consider its performance results and HDR capabilities. The product provides an improved, if not the same image quality and gaming prowess like the PG27UQ, but in a more cinematic, and less demanding screen. The device’s features did not fall short of our expectations, although we know a few users who might miss ULMB which goes hand in hand with very high refresh rates.
