Host compatibility
ASUS lists Full HD at 120Hz output from a PS5 and from an Xbox Series X or S. ASUS lists Adaptive-Sync, not HDMI 2.1 VRR, which is what Sony says the PS5 needs for its VRR feature.

What works. What doesn't.
Connection and power
Over HDMI it runs on its battery or takes power through USB-C at the same time. Tom's Hardware measured about 2 hours at 240Hz with 80% brightness and the speakers at full volume, and about 3 hours at 60Hz at full brightness.
Panel
RTINGS says it may not be bright enough to overcome glare and that blacks look gray in a dark room. It called the response times excellent and the input lag low.
Mounting and portability
Tom's Hardware found the folding cover a debatable stand and a poor protector, since it leaves the sides and back exposed.
Drivers and software
Tom's Hardware notes the Auto Rotation feature needs ASUS's DisplayWidget software.
