> 24 hourThis is my first and last monitor Ill purchase from ASUS. Sadly, as you can see from the above pictures I have a single pixel defect on each. The first has a stuck red pixel. Programs that supposedly unstuck a stuck pixel did not work after a couple of hours and Im sure not going to press physically against it like some websites suggest. If it remained stuck it might as well be dead. So I refunded and tried again ... and ... I get monitor with a dead pixel! See the other picture. Sadly Ill take my $250 lost and call it a day and just leave this review here for anyone that stumbles upon it and hopefully I can save you a headache or two. The monitor is great when I can force myself to forget theres a dead pixel but quality control leaves much to be desired. PS: I understand the concept of pixel lottery and I dont care, Id keep refunding until Id get a perfect one but Im too afraid to get flagged by Amazon for refunding for a single pixel defect twice in a row. Doesnt the fact I have to gamble for a perfect monitor sound stupid to you because thats what I did here and lost.

> 24 hourI’ve been using this for 6 months now. The adaptor is a bit loose sometimes. And although not enough brightness for work sometimes, but since it’s anti-galore screen it can use a monitor bar light on top. Gaming is bright enough since I always do it in the dark.

> 24 hourI’m an Asus guy. Not that, that’s all I use but, I tend to drift toward their products. This monitor, another fantastic product by them. It’s a 1080 monitor and it’s perfect for what I use it for. It’s a solid build and heavier that I expected. I’d say, it’s worth every penny. It helps that it does come with a display port but, having to manually switch between HDMI and Display Port does get a little annoying.

> 24 hourThis monitor is horribly blurry, yellow tinted. Do yourself a favor and buy any other monitor its not worth it. I returned and replaced the monitor thinking that the yellow tint was a defect but after receiving my replacement I learned that is just how the monitor looks. The replacement I got also was damaged with the frame bent causing backlight bleed. Definitely not worth the money or the hassle.

> 24 hourMonitor has good, highly adjustable stand. Had 1 dead pixel in corner. Only problem is monitor settings are stuck through seven gamevisual presets with limited customizability. If u can turn that off somehow, then its great.

> 24 hourThis monitor is really good for my ps5 since it can do 144hz even though the ps5 can only do 120hz but sometimes it goes black screen for 1 second or 2 every now and then but never gets in the way of gaming.

> 24 hourIf you want a monitor that will give you true, natural color, look somewhere else. This monitor is a waste of money - if I didnt miss the return window I would have returned it, heres why: Im an avid gamer and used the VG248 as my primary monitor. I wanted an IPS monitor with the same specs to use as a dual monitor, so I bought the VG249 (this one). While the IPS has certain advantages over a TN panel, the coloration options for the VG249 make it unusable for anything other than specific gaming functions. The main problem is that there is no Standard Mode, like on almost EVERY OTHER MONITOR out there. I have to choose between 7 different modes that all make pictures look nothing like the original taken on a camera. Mostly, the pictures come out with a reddish/darkening hue which cannot be adequately fixed by changing Windows or monitor onboard color settings (in fact, for most of the monitor modes, you cant edit color settings at all). This monitor is completely useless for doing photo or video editing, and if you want to do normal tasks like look at a family photo album, everyones face will look like theyre about to have a heart-attack. On the VG248, standard mode makes pictures look normal/the way they were taken. Yes, images are sharper, but the discoloration is abominable. What a waste of $250.
