ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q 23.8” Monitor 144Hz Full HD (1920 x 1080) 1ms IPS ELMB FreeSync Eye Care DisplayPort HDMI D-Sub

I’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.

I am not qualified at all to talk about the picture quality but I dont see any ugly motion blur or something so I think its a pretty good monitor especially when its on sale for like 169 bucks

PROS: -- No dead pixels on mine (this is the one thing I am wary about when it comes to ordering a monitor online) -- Perfect size for 1080p (high pixel density at this size) -- Brightness and contrast look great -- Lots of different settings in the menu -- Build quality seems solid CONS: -- Speakers sound ok, but not amazing; I personally use headphones so it doesnt matter to me -- Power button should ideally be right below the LED indicator, not half an inch to the left of it -- It looks like the border is only about 1/16 inch thick, but the usable part of the LED panel actually ends about 1/8 inch from the plastic frame, so if you are planning on running 2 of these side by side, be aware of that. You will have about 1/4 inch black border (including the frame part) on each side of the monitor. A minor point, but one that should be mentioned. As you can see, there really isnt much to complain about with this monitor. I set mine for 120 Hz (My current GPU cant run games at 144 frames per second anyway). Setup was easy. For a couple games I had to delete content of the games Settings folder in order to get the game to work with this monitor (namely Doom 2016 and RDR2) because those games stored settings from my previous monitor. Its hard to find a 1080P IPS that is this fast and has all these features in a small size. Most IPS 1080P monitors are 27 now, which is too large in my opinion. This is the perfect size for 1080P.

Love this gaming monitor so far so good no problems I recommend this for gamer

I already had a replacement on the way due to delivery issues, we shall see if the second one has any defects. Im already dealing with a dead row of pixels on my LG that is 7 years old. wasnt expecting something this nice to come with a free dead one lol. will post pictures of the second unit, I packed up the first one before I had the chance to while in call w amazon CS.

The moniter base did not come.

I loved my monitor and will be buying a second!

I was looking for an IPS, 144hz, 1080p, 24 monitor for a long time, and this was the perfect choice! IPS looks insanely better than TN, but I could never find a high refresh IPS monitor for a mid range PC like my own. The only high refresh IPS monitors I could find were all 27 at 1440p, which my PC couldnt push enough frames for, or 1080p, which looks awful at 27 in my opinion. So this monitor was the perfect option. (Btw, Id stay away from the VG259Q. I tried that one first, and the colors on it were really messed up, and I saw a few other who had that problem as well. The only major difference is it being about an inch bigger, and being a bit more expensive.) The picture quality is really good too! The settings I landed on are: - Racing Mode - Brightness: 100 - Contrast: 80 - Color Temp: User Mode: R:90 G:95 B:100 - Trace Free: 100 Trace free threw me off a little bit, but thats just Asus way of saying overdrive. I suggest cranking it up to 100. At 100, I see no artifacts, and it makes the response time of the monitor feel way snappier. Given everything I said so far, I would have easily given this monitor 5 stars, but there are 2 major problems I have with it. 1. For some reason, Asus didnt include their amazing joystick controls for the OSD, and instead opted for ancient feeling row of buttons. My previous Asus monitor had the joystick, and navigating the OSD was sooo much nicer. 2. There is no aux output on the monitor, and the built in speakers dont sound that great either. Oddly enough, they did include an aux input, just in case you wanted to plug your iPod into the monitor and jam out... When using my computer, I can obviously use its aux output and run it to my speakers, but I like to play console games on the monitor sometimes too, and when doing so, I have no easy way to route the audio through to my speakers. To fix this, I bought this HDMI adapter that pulls an aux signal out, and I use that to plug into my speakers. Overall the monitor is amazing, and those couple problems arent the end of the world. Id still highly recommend it.

very satisfied

NO problems at all with my monitor. Have a new PC and what better way to treat it with having a high refresh rate / IPS monitor at a good price! The stand and versatility of rotating the screen is what made me fully decide to go with this monitor! Its great! I had an old LED LG monitor that capped at 60hz and difference is just beautiful with the new PC. Also, does include a Display Port cable but no HDMI cable, just a heads up. I wish it had a remote because toggling through settings, you have to Click the buttons under the screen. Thats really the only CON id give it, personally.
