The monitor is ideal for home office, provided you are already using Windows 11. With W11, you can arrange the windows optimally (usually by dividing the screen into thirds). With Windows 10, only 50:50 was possible natively, which doesn't quite do justice to the width. You can fix this with Windows' own PowerToys, but it is cumbersome.
The ASUS ROG Strix XG49VQ monitor does not have RGB lighting. The monitor's described functions and specifications include various technologies such as FreeSync™ 2 HDR, HDR10, and Shadow Boost, but there is no mention of RGB lighting.
I mounted mine on an extendable wall mount with VESA. I used these spacers to equalise the depth: https://www.distrelec.ch/de...
I can't remember if they were M6, but with a length of 20mm you can get the screw points flush with the housing and onto the mounting plate of the monitor stand. A little tip: Electrician companies often have such spacers in the panel construction, maybe you have a colleague who can get hold of 4.
This is old hat, since the Nvidia driver 417.71 their graphics cards GTX10xx upwards can also use Freesync if you use DP. However, I cannot guarantee this.
Alternatively, simply use the underlying technology V-Sync, which should support every relevant game.
If you opt for a graphics card of the latest generation, it will be able to handle the resolution of the monitor without any problems anyway, making any sync issues obsolete.
Hi; you have an HDMI or display port and can choose to display one (wide) screen or two "normal" formats side by side. I can't say anything about the Mac, but I don't expect any problems. I use it as a single screen where I can park windows. I often work with 6-8 windows at the same time. Note that the screen takes up a considerable amount of space, both in width and depth.

Yes, of course. The graphics card is powerful enough. I work with a Surface Pro 6 and it works perfectly.
However, I recommend connecting the screen via DisplayPort. I also tried it with an HDMI2.0 cable, but it didn't work.
You need the "DisplayWidget" software from Asus. Unfortunately, I haven't found any Apple software variants on the Asus website. Maybe you have more luck:

Small additional tip: Use a DisplayPort cable. I couldn't reach the maximum resolution with the HDMI cable.
Probably not.

The monitor has not been "officially certified" for this by nVidia.
This means that it may or may not work.
I bought the screen myself for 700.- and have been watching the price fluctuations for half a year. It's crazy what's going on...
At the moment you can get the screen at Interdiscount for CHF 639.90.
