> 3 dayI bought this as my only option for a 144hz monitor with a non-TN PANEL. I am blown away by the quality. I only wish it had the updated control buttons as the GUI is kind of terrible

Greater than one weekI have been looking for an ips monitor to replace my current Asus vg248qe for a couple of months now. The problem with the current market of gaming monitors is that most of the ips gaming monitors come in 27. Since I sit close to my monitor, this would be too large and uncomfortable for my eyes. I almost gave up and was going to settle with a 75hz ips monitor until I spotted the Asus TUF 23.8 VG249Q gaming monitor. This monitor is the real deal!! I previously gamed on a TN pannel and the transaction to IPS is glorious. Colors are very punchy compared to TN pannels. The only thing I changed in the monitor settings was color temperature. I changed it from warm to normal since it looks more realistic. Other than that, I have not touched any of the other monitor settings. Its that great! Not to mention, gaming at 144hz is an experience unlike any other and I am glad I didnt have to give that up in order to get an IPS pannel. Additionally, the almost nonexisting bezels makes the monitor look very sleek and save desk space. If you need an affordable 24 IPS gaming monitor with 144hz, l would highly recommend this product. Even though I only had this monitor for a short time, my expectations have been exceeded!! Buy this ASAP!

> 3 dayVG249Q advertised as a 144hz, 1ms, IPS, Freesync display, but does any of that hold up, and is it all worth it? Lets start with the positives: +great picture quality quality, especially sRGB mode. +both the displays I used had agreeable blb. +Response time settings dont impact picture quality. +great stand! quite easy to put together. +Freesync and 144hz work flawlessly. Now, lets get to the negatives: -Bad tinny speakers, do not expect to be using this monitor without separate speakers. -confusing osd with limited options -you cant configure color profiles, monitor comes with preconfigured profiles, and if you dont like them, youre out of luck. -horrible quality control, the first monitor I ordered had dead, and stuck pixels, on top of washed out colors, although the blb wasnt too bad. thankfully, this is Amazon, so I sent it back for a replacement. the replacement monitor itself had good color recreation (what was advertised in the first place), minimal blb, much better than the first, but that was it, the replacement too had stuck pixels which wouldnt go away no matter what I tried. But seeing as theres a certain pandemic going on atm, and increased shipping times, I bit the bullet, and kept it as I didnt want to bother, or waste any more of my time. -build quality could be better. -worse overshoot than the 24g2 on max response times. Firstly, definitely not anywhere near the advertised response time (no surprise there), but it is still the slowest monitor, response time wise around this price range with my testing pegging it a good 2-3ms slower on avg. at 9.83ms than the 24g2 at 7.53ms, and this is on 100 trace free, its fastest setting, and combined with worse overshoot than the 24g2 at these settings as well, its not really enticing if youre a competitive gamer, though keep in mind that this display definitely has better picture quality at those settings than the 24g2. -overpriced. Overall, this monitor IS NOT WORTH the price premium, considering it costs around $80-100 on a good day compared to its competition. It is a ~$150 monitor masquerading around as a $249 monitor. If youre in the market for such a monitor, Id recommend looking into cheaper, and imo better alternatives such the AOC 24G2, MSI G241, the Acer Nitros around this price range, or the VP249QGR (which is this exact same display, with a worse stand for consideriably cheaper) before Id recommend buying the VG249Q. Sorry, ASUS, but this monitor truly is not worth its asking price especially when your competition is offering much better products at much cheaper prices.

> 3 dayI bought this product thinking I was getting a 144hz monitor but instead just found out 3 months later that it is actually a 60hz monitor but being advertised as a 144hz monitor. I would love it if I could get a resend of the correct product.

> 3 dayFor the money I think this is a good monitor. My one qualm with it is that the black level isnt great, which I suppose to be expected from most IPS panels. The colors and motion on the other hand are quite good!
