it is really impressive due to its huge 31.5 inches curved display with an amazing gaming experience this is a very good option for gamers who are looking for a budget monitor.

Asus VG328H1B Review

The build and design to very similar to other Asus TUF gaming monitors, the big 31.5 inches 1500R curved 1080p display are good and the stand is small, and easily fits on any desk size but the bad thing is there is no height,

and portrait adjustability only offers tilt and swivel adjustment, so if you use this adjustability consistently then you will definitely miss these features in this monitor.

Image quality is good at this price tag and performance it’s impressive, the colors are good with stable graphics, and the horizontal/vertical viewing angles are not very impressive so needs improvement there. The monitor doesn’t support HDR so you can’t enjoy the HDR gameplay on this monitor.

Build and design

The body is made from decent plastic and the stand is small and perfectly fits on the desk without capturing extra space but you can’t use the height and portrait adjustability,

the monitor only allows you to tilt the display and swivel, so when you are playing games for a long hour you need to change position to a comfortable position but you can’t do this.
