ASUS TUF Gaming 24” 1080P Monitor (VG248Q1B) - Full HD, 165Hz, Extreme Low Motion Blur, 0.5ms, FreeSync Premium, Eye Care, DisplayPort, HDMI, Shadow Boost, VESA Wall Mountable, Tilt Adjustable

This monitor is a great one, I cant deny that. Id give five stars all around but I bought this monitor in February (2020) and in May (2020) I already had 2 dead pixels. It is now October and I still only have those dead pixels, and I hardly notice them. Was just very odd that I got a brand new monitor and within 2 months already had dead pixels. I didnt write a review sooner as I wanted to see if it would get worse but so far it has not. 2nd issue is that randomly when my monitor turns on from sleep mode im met with a screen of static. I can easily fix this by pressing the power button on the monitor then turning it back on, but this issue does happen a couple times a week for no apparent reason. Id definitely say its a good monitor besides those two things. Very bright, great for gaming, good response time.

Clean install of Windows 10 w/ an EVGA 2080TI had random display freezing issues. The exact same system ran w/o issues on 3 BenQ monitors. Upgrading to Windows 11 did not address the issue. These ASUS displays (3 of them) would appear frozen but the Windows Event log would show that the computer was running just fine. I tried swapping out the graphic card, DP cables (bought thicker gauges, shorter lengths, w/ propper pinning), lowered refresh rates, and did the whole dance of making sure the latest chipset/graphics card/etc. drivers were installed. After a few weeks of trying different things, disabling G-Sync cured the issue. Not sure if it is because there is no driver for the display, I have too many connected (3), or what. It is disappointing, but at a 165hz refresh rate, I dont know if disabling G-Sync will matter. Also, these monitors seem to take a slightly longer time to wake from sleep compared to my other 3-monitor setup using BenQ monitors. Which could also be a difference. The control scheme on the back of the monitor is not ideal for multiple monitor setups. Controls that run along the bottom edge or along the front bezel are preferred. The controls on this monitor are on the right back side which makes the middle and left monitor in a 3-head setup, hard to get to. After initial setup, it wont matter much unless you are the kind of person who actually swaps monitor modes based on what you are doing. Other than that, the monitors seem great. High refresh rates (165hz), color scheme, etc.

I order two of these monitors and I am more than satisfied. If youre in the market for a good 1080p monitor for gaming this is it, especially FPS games. That is assuming you have a video card setup than can make use of the 144Hz refresh rate. Even for fast paced action movies these monitors are great as your image stays clear even in the fastest of action scenes. I really noticed a huge difference in BF3 game play but like most people say not so much with non-FPS games. Sure its better for everything but not as noticeable out side of an FPS gaming. I read a lot of reviews on this monitor before my purchase and there were a lot of complaints about the colors being horrible. Well, they look just fine to me, maybe not the best but accurate enough at the very least if youre not OCD about it. I have mine set in Standard Mode, TraceFree 80, Color Temp Normal, and dropped the brightness to 80 and see zero problems with my colors. Theyre better than my previous monitors and far better than a lot of other monitors I have seen in my day. Something to note though, if you do not have a video card with two DVI connectors like myself, remember to buy the appropriate DisplayPort cable so you can run multiple monitors at 144Hz. It will not run at 144Hz off of an HDMI connection. You need to run it off of DVI with the supplied Dual Link DVI cables or buy DisplayPort cables separately for 144Hz. Couldnt be happier with my purchase as these monitors have a great feature set and require just a few minutes of browsing through the settings to tweak things to your liking. :)

Love this monitor. Bought 2 for dual screens. Really clear pic.

Pretty good monitor for 1080p gaming. Would recommend if you are using with headset or external speakers, the internal speakers are quite low audibly.

I purchased this monitor on April 10th, 2014 and received it on April 17th. Im going to go over what I liked and do not like about it. I owned a Ben-Q XL2420T 120HZ monitor prior to this unit, so I will be comparing both of them according to performance and price. First Ill talk about 144hz compared to 60hz for those who do not know: 144Hz is a way of describing how many times the image on your monitor refreshes every second. 60hz means that the image you see on your monitor is relayed from your computer to your monitor 60 times per second, and 144hz means 144 times per second. Basically you see more then double the amount of information your graphics card is processing with a 144hz monitor compared to a 60hz monitor. NOTE: If you are looking to purchase this monitor for console gaming, there are better alternatives. You will not be able to utilize the 144hz feature. Consoles only put out 30-60 frames per second, so a 60Hz monitor is all you need. Now on to the review Pros- -144 Hz is amazing. There is no ghosting when making fast movements in high action games. The increased amount of frames you are able to see gives you an extremely good edge against your opponent. -Perfect screen size for me. The 24 inch screen allows me to have a good field of view in the games that I play so I dont miss valuable information, but isnt so large that I need to constantly scan with my eyes to be aware of the image on the screen. -Good physical size. The circular base of the stand measures roughly 9 inches, so it doesnt take up more desk space than it needs. -PRICE!!!!!!! I paid about 500 USD for my Ben-Q XL2420T. This monitor has 24 more Hz than the benq, similar build quality, and costs about half as much. At 279.99, this is the best monitor I have ever purchased. Cons- -The colors out of the box are a little bland, but with proper tweaking I found color settings that worked well for the games I play. All in all, this is an amazing monitor, the price is right, the features are worth more to me than the price. 5 stars.

Bought as a gift. Picture is very crisp. Easy to connect. Son is pleased with the monitor.

I bought 4 of these monitors as I just may have a small gaming addiction. Although better than having a crack addiction, my choice led me here for a monitor with a better frequency which in turn gives better refresh. All in all, I do not regret one thing except that I had to pay for them. I used 4 of these, in pairs vertically to frame a 30 Dell I had previously. I set my old Samsung displays which, neither were Vesa compliant, on other PCs in the home giving them major upgrades and then used these. I mainly game 5 or 6 different games at the same time and needed more space. I do however love the joy of being able to do research having word open, multiple webpages and documents and maybe a program or two without flipping through. Very productive. Pros: 1. They are pretty darned fast with no flaws that I have found, dead pixel or image projection. 2. Although they came in with some settings that were quite bright, another reviewer gave the link to a preset profile which was super easy to upload and bring them to a more manageable appearance. Worth the little extra effort, the profile works for all as they are simply the same display. You may need to tweak it, nothing is made exactly the same and you may simply not like the way it looks. It is called preference. 3. I have triple SLI Nvidia gtx680s. The ability to use the displayport on these screens was a big plus. Displayport will be the standard as they will shift vga, dvi-x out at some point for the sheer performance. DVI was used on one as I only had three ports and that works great as well. The displayport interfaced displays were jacked up to 144 mhz but I have to tell you that I am unsure I personally see the massive difference. Maybe I do not play the right games, but Crysis 2 looks sweet 4. Although I didnt use them, the base looked real nice. This is one place that some displays really skimp you. Not much more for me to tell as I did not implement them. 5. Cable management was a nice little touch. I still cable tied everything down the back side but they do provide a way to route the cables in a clean manner. Cons 1. Minor, very minor. Since the buttons were on the bottom, I needed to leave some room to have the ability to turn them off if needed. Do I? Almost never and that is only because of the stand and placement I used. Not pulling a star for that. I would buy them again but I sure hope I dont feel the need to :) Update 09/112019: Still going strong and not one issue after all these years. A couple small notes: - Asus as a brand has lost all my respect because of the lack of quality their overall company brings out in products today including my new graphics cards, but these displays held up great with 0 display issues. - In regards to the graphics cards, I have 2 Asus Strix GTX1070s and both have lost one display port now. One lasted a month and needed warranty replacement for a firmware lockup and the new one came only to lose one of the two display ports like the other. This is a trend. I do not believe the display is an issue because i can switch to the working display port on the same card with no issue and the other that went out was to one of the other screens. - Sound. Not sure why it likes to do this, but every single time I update my graphics driver it latches the sound driver as default. Weird, I didnt tell it to but Nvidia seems to think my main sound needs to come out through one of my displays. Multiple ways you can stop this. - When loading the graphics driver, always click advanced setup and choose clean install, graphics driver and physics driver only. Skip the sound driver all the way and it will never mess with default sound. - Go into sound properties and delete the sound devices pertaining to the display. Drives me nuts. Displays themselves still rock and even with the Asus name I would consider buying them again. Really, REALLY hard to beat a Samsung display but these have worked real well for me.

I upgraded my gaming setup by purchasing two ASUS TUF Gaming 23.8 1080P Monitors (VG249Q1R), and I am thrilled with the results! These monitors have proven to be exceptional replacements for my old ones, enhancing my gaming experience to a whole new level. First and foremost, the visual quality of these monitors is outstanding. The Full HD resolution and IPS panel deliver stunningly sharp and vibrant images, making every game come to life with rich colors and remarkable detail. The 165Hz refresh rate (supports 144Hz) ensures smooth and fluid motion, eliminating any blur or stuttering during fast-paced gaming sessions. The 1ms response time is a game-changer, providing instant and precise responsiveness to my actions. Whether engaging in intense battles or navigating through complex environments, the ASUS TUF Gaming monitors to keep up with my every move, allowing for quick and accurate reactions. The Extreme Low Motion Blur feature, further enhances the visual experience by reducing motion blur, resulting in crystal-clear and highly immersive gameplay. I can now enjoy fast-paced action without any distracting ghosting effects. I appreciate the inclusion of built-in speakers, as they provide decent audio quality for casual gaming and general multimedia use. While dedicated gaming headsets are still ideal for immersive sound, the speakers offer a convenient option for those quick gaming sessions. The FreeSync™ Premium technology is valuable, synchronizing the monitors refresh rate with the graphics cards output, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering for a seamless visual experience. ASUSs Shadow Boost technology deserves special mention, as it enhances the visibility of dark scenes without overexposing bright areas. This feature proves particularly useful in games where spotting enemies hiding in shadows can make all the difference. Mounting the monitors was a breeze, thanks to their VESA compatibility, allowing easy integration into my preferred setup. I highly recommend the ASUS TUF Gaming 23.8 1080P Monitors (VG249Q1R) to anyone seeking an exceptional gaming experience. These monitors combine stunning visuals, fast response times, immersive features like Extreme Low Motion Blur and Shadow Boost, and convenient connectivity options through DisplayPort and HDMI. Gaming has never been more enjoyable with these monitors, and Im delighted with my purchase!

Brightness/Contrast - wow, its greats for the movies and games that you might enjoy the contrast and brightness ratios that it offers. Stand - pivots and rotates for those who like the option to flip their screen 144 HZ - Amazing for gaming and you need some decent gpu setup to even make use of the 144 hz. Its only the downside, but you can always pickup a cheaper 60 hz monitor. Sound - Not too many monitors do the whole integrated speakers too often, which works great for consoles that you plug into the monitor and it has a headphone so you dont bother others. 3d support - Granted it works should you have the right 3d glasses to work for games and movies, but it when it does; its great. Settings - take a bit of time to adjust the screen, so it doesnt bother your eyes that much. Just wished you could set your own predefined settings that you could switch easily. Like the game/night view, standard, and rgb modes. The monitor is seeming to fail, and it has been flashing white constantly lately. Not really sure whats going on here. Had the monitor for at least 6 months and now it seems to do this while gaming or watching a movie. Looked up to see if anyone else is having this issue. Not really much on it. Probably going to need to get a replacement soon. Well, the screen acts up and in which there is alot of flickering going on and then seemingly just stops. Update: 1/29 The warranty - is so slow. Like one to two weeks to get a replacement sent out after you send in your old monitor. Advanced replacement can be sent out on your behalf; well if you want a 250 charge on your card. Advanced replacement still takes one to weeks; irregardless of sending in the monitor and then waiting the one to weeks out. Any who, rma process is supposed to take two to three day, then you use the fedex shipping that asus gives you. Of course asus covers shipping fees, which is nice not too worry about. Wish there was an expedited shipping on the advanced replacement or returning process. Probably at least a month without a monitor sucks, but at least the warranty will cover this.
