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

Update!... Avoid! The 1 button toggle on this not only makes customizing and using the menu a complete and total pain. That single button also breaks really easy.. Whoever thought of a 1 button toggle switch should be fired.. I figure this. If a monitor has a menu. there should be a button for that, then and up and down to navigate it. and to select the setting you want. There should be a button for that.... Oh and if it has more than 1 display port.. There should be a button for each.. How much did Asus save? 0.20-0.30c... I have terrible vision to begin with so dont exactly listen to me... My main complaint is that 1 button toggle. Annoying!!!! I mean, if theres 2 hdmi ports for 2 different computers/set ups.. Why cant we have 2 buttons 1 button for hdmi 1, and another button for hdmi 2... would make it way easier than having to learn and navigate a 1 button toggle menu.. I have 2 pcs. One for my daily driver, 1 for video editing and other loads.. I like to set me editing computer and switch back to the daily driver, then randomly check in on the progress.. I should have a button to just switch between without having to navigate a menu Come on asus. buttons cost what 1/10th of a penny... As for the display.. Its ok. Like I said. my eyes suck anyways.. So everything I look at sucks.. Check other reviews if you want display and picture quality.. Im not the person to really say anything about that

I moved from a 60hz monitor to this, mind blown. Incredible picture quality. You do have to enable the overclocking to get to 165hz in the monitor menu(the button on the back). If youre on a 60hz and on the fence about upgrading -- DOOOOO IT! *Edit* So good I ordered a 2nd one. These are amazing!

So this is my first impression of it so far after using it for about 7 hours in. As a person who updated from a 75hz overclocked monitor and have had 60hz monitors all their life, this was a huge upgrade for me. The games that I play (Mostly fps) run very smoothly and compared to 60hz monitor I had previously, it had much less motion blur, and Id like to say the experience was a little TOO smooth for me because I had come from such rigid frame loading. Anyway the first problem I had kind of noticed for me is that the monitors color is extremely bright and about 1 hour – 2 hours into gaming I had eye strain and noticeably blurred vision which doesnt normally occur to me on my previous monitor after 10+ hours. Id say try to adjust the monitor to your liking, but the lighting even right now is kind of killing my eyes. The price for this monitor though in my opinion is fantastic for its value, though I had hoped that this monitor could be moved on the Y axis rather than a tilt up and down, but that is to be expected. The screen size for me is exceptional and personally moving from an 20 screen makes quite the difference. If youre considering buying this as your first monitor, do it!! But if this isnt your first I honestly would say if you are willing to sacrifice $50-60 more, then I believe you can get a monitor that feels much nicer but seeing as this is my first monitor and I wanted to play safe, I am very satisfied with what I had received and a lot of the color and brightness and be adjusted in the monitor along with for me using the NVIDIA Control Panel. I wish I could give you more information since I hadnt found any other reviews for this monitor but Ill be sure to post updates every few weeks to tell you how it has been for me.

****** IMPORTANT ****** Before I start - As everyone has said on these reviews before, the colors look very pale and washed out once you get the monitor. I highly recommend that you Google or go on YouTube and search for this specific video ASUS VG248QE Color Settings / ICC Profile (and discussing lightboost). The uploaders name is Static Sleet and the video was uploaded in October 2015. There are other websites that teach you how and some Reddit threads that do the same, but this video is extremely straightforward on what you should do as soon as you get your monitor out of the box. Now, I was very hesitant in getting this monitor because Im a pretty cautious consumer and read all the one star reviews. I was so afraid of being one of the dead / stuck pixel receivers, but whew! Everything is perfect. I just upgraded from a 20 inch, 60hz, and not a 1ms response time monitor and the difference is staggering. I have this new one and my old one set up side by side and its like night and day. This monitor is much more bright, vibrant, and crisp than the blurry and dull image I see on the old monitor. The box was well packaged and the monitor very secure, and there are no scratches or any parts bent / out of place. Sure, its not one of the more expensive 1440p models that boast G-Sync and yada yada, but if youre on a budget constraint that allows you only to get monitors around 300-400$, this is a steal. So, if youre like me, stop looking at the $600 - $1000+ monitors and narrow them down to two models - this ASUS VG248QE or its 27 counterpart, or the BenQ Zowie XL2411Z that is probably the other one youve been looking at. The only thing that you should do now is go on Google / YouTube again and search BenQ XL2411Z vs ASUS VG248QE 144 hz Monitor Comparison - Which is best for YOU? by Gus Tech. As you can see through the comments and other sites that pit these two versus each other, ASUS blows BenQ out of the park when it comes to picture QUALITY (color, vibrance, etc). The BenQ is claimed to be more efficient however in games because it stays true and strong in those parts of FPS shooters like CS:GO where youre turning around corners and shooting people very quickly. As a FPS fanatic, I can tell you that it is not noticeable at all. It was a no brainer for me to choose the ASUS model after looking at the video I just mentioned because a little efficiency is not worth sacrificing an amazing picture for. Unless youre some world champ shooter that somehow notices this little difference when youre turning around corners, youre not going to notice any difference in those terms at all. The BenQ colors are just terrible. I wouldnt want to play video games to be better if Im not going to like what Im looking at, and you probably dont want that either. Also, one thing I was debating on before getting this model was whether or not I should get the 27. My 20 is so tiny and I was so sick of it, so I thought - the bigger the better. However, I looked up Is a 27 monitor and 1080p worth it and the results werent that great. Many said that you would notice a loss of quality almost immediately unless your computer is extremely far away from you and to the back of the desk, but that wasnt me because my monitor is sitting only an arms length away. I also read on Reddit from people with 27 models that it was simply too big for them and they actually got worse at high speed video games because their eyes couldnt keep up with everything that was going on in the corners and sides of the screen. So, following that advice, I got the 24 because the quality would seemingly be at perfect balance and not stretched out onto a 27 screen and because I didnt want the problem of not being able to see everything happening if Im playing a fast-paced video game. Im very glad that I listened to them! Im actually having trouble sometimes keeping up with this screen too because its also very big when an arms length away. If I had a 27, it would be great for watching some movies far away but.. not at all for games unless you have additional eyes beside your ears. An added bonus with this is that youll be saving 50$ too (by not getting the bigger model)! Overall, I think you should get this VG248QE if your budget falls around here and youre looking for an entry-level 144hz, 1ms, 1080p monitor. Yes, there are lots of one star reviews because of misplaced pixels, but I can tell you after hours of searching for monitors before I got this one that there is only ONE monitor I found with only 4-5 star reviews - and it cost 2300$ and only like two or three people actually reviewed it.. Every monitor you come by will have problems from consumers such as dead pixels, power failures, the monitor simply dying, buttons falling off, etc. The VG248QE will have a lot more of these simply because of the sheer amount of people that have bought this over the years. When youre producing a lot of these monitors, obviously some are bound to fail. but this model, as you can tell, is always holding strong near 80% five star reviews - which is a lot higher than other monitors that I have seen on Amazon. Just pray that youre not in the 20% and buy it. Dont press your back button and go to the BenQ. Just get it!! Oh, and a lot of people seem to not be getting DVI-D cables with their orders so I read those reviews and got the gold plated, ferrite, DVI-D cable that is under the products frequently bought with this because I thought I wouldnt be getting one. Well, I did get one with the monitor. So, take that with a grain of salt; you may or may not get one.

My first review ever. Unfortunately, its for somewhat of a selfish reason as I have a complaint but hear me out first. I would like to point out that this monitor is great. AMAZING refresh rate...has to be seen to be believed. If you are upgrading from a 60Hz monitor you will forever be changed after using this thing. I cannot emphasize this enough. Be aware that you will need a quality rig to take full advantage of this monitor. At 144Hz, you need a graphics card which can push at least 144FPS. Many gamers will find this difficult to achieve at High or Ultra settings (especially with some of todays AAA games). It is truly intended for gamers or more specifically, FPS games such as CSGO (which is exactly why I bought it for my son). If you are looking to do graphics or light gaming, I would consider an IPS panel as they tend to have more accurate color reproduction. This is not your average monitor and will require a quick Google search to get it to look just right but it can be done as others have stated (look up calibration and ICC profile). Now for my complaint. The problem came just yesterday when my son received an NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 kit for Christmas. This monitor has built-in support for 3D which means it can display both games and Blu-Rays in 3D. When playing anything in 3D there is a blue vertical bar about 5 or maybe 8 pixels wide going right down the middle of the screen. This occurs in both games and movies in 3D. It can be hard to tell at times depending on the color of what is on-screen but it is there. For whatever reason, it ONLY occurs during 3D. When going back to 2D, the blue bar goes away. This cannot be by design and in my estimation is a problem with the monitor itself. I feel I should give the monitor a 1-star rating to bring attention to this issue but it is just too good of a monitor in 2D and I think we may have just gotten a bad one. My main issue here is that this problem was not discovered until AFTER Amazons return policy had expired because we never tested 3D until yesterday. Not sure what to do. For those interested, my sons computer specs are as follows: Intel i5 4670 CPU, MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr, MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Mainboard, 8GB GSkill RAM, 240GB Seagate SSD, 1TB WD Black, Corsair 750W PSU, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, LG Blu-Ray 3D drive, Razer DeathAdder Mouse, Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2014 Stealth Mechanical Keyboard, Logitech Wireless G930, Windows 8.1, CyberLink PowerDVD 14 Ultra, NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 Kit Btw, my son pwns all at CSGO.

Bought 2 of these monitors (several months apart) for a new computer build. Good quality, and the screens offer up a lot of detail in games. The only downside I can really say about them, is that it is very hard to get them to match up even after calibrating. Comparing them side to side after calibration, there seems to be slight color issues, and one screen seems slightly warmer, while the other slightly cooler- this is normal even with 2 of the same monitors due to manufacturing differences. Calibrating any monitor is going to be necessary, and these are no different. Right out of the box, the monitors are good almost as is, and very little calibration is needed for anyone just wanting to use it for general computer work. For gaming however, take the time to learn how to properly calibrate the monitors for the best gaming experience. If you currently have a smaller desk, these monitors might take up a lot of desk space with their default stands, and upgrading to a better stand might be the solution. I used the monitors for over a year with their included stands, before finally purchasing a third-party VIVO dual monitor stacking stand (look for my review on it). Overall the default stands are nice, sturdy, and allow for good adjustment, but for someone like me who needs dual monitors, consider upgrading the stand later on to fit your needs.

Okay, I have had this monitor for a while now. And it took a VERY LONG TIME to be able to get my settings right to make the screen look good. And my comparison was to my old off-brand tv that I also have connected. Out of the box, the monitor will look terrible. It will. The off-brand tv looked way better. I am going to post all of my settings so that it will hopefully help someone else. The reason I am only giving the monitor 4 stars is the fact that the speakers are completely useless and that was the main reason I chose this monitor. Dont use the speakers on this monitor. They are some of the worst speakers Ive ever heard. I bought a nice, THX rated, Logitech speaker set to fix that issue. If they wouldve decreased the price and took the speakers out, I wouldve given this monitor 5 stars. It spins around on its stand for easy adjustment. You can also raise or lower the screen by holding down the base and push the display using its frame up or down as needed. It doesnt take much pressure to adjust, but it will hold firmly in position. The build of the entire monitor screams pro gamer monitor. And I would agree. 144hz. If you havent seen a monitor functioning at 144hz, you really need to see it. 59/60 hertz shows trails and seems to have its own motion blur. When Im playing any game, this is distracting, I might try to predict the balls movement in the game Rocket League and then I miss because the low hertz cause a lot of problems. If you are using a tv for any of your gaming(like I did until I got this monitor) It is an amazing jump. You will instantly see all of the movement without any trails or motion blur. Nice clear fast movement. It wont look like a low frame rate or anything. The top review for this item gives advice before you buy about whether your computer can handle 144hz or not, I suggest that you read that review as well. Most other screen types also have really high input lag shown while this monitor is only 1 ms. You are unable to see input lag at 1ms. Its awesome. Now for my settings. I did not like the settings that were supposed to be the best. The screen looked foggy and the colors didnt look right. Splendid > Theater Mode Blue Light Filter > Level 0 Brightness > 60 Contrast > 83 Saturation > 50 (Dont worry, the colors are still very vibrant at this level) Color Temp > User Mode R > 89 G > 89 B > 90 Skin Tone > Natural Smart View > Off Image Sharpness > 60 Trace Free > 80 ASCR > Off Now whether you like these settings as they are is up to you. You may want to tweak them more. If you modify your settings afterward, post them here so I can try them as well. Sharpness is the only thing I cant decide on. 60 should be the max and you may want to lower it to either 40 or 50.

Realmente es un excelente monitor, algo caro pero excelente. Los 144hz se notan y la calidad de imagen es bien nitida bastante satisfecho

To start off, I will say that I am coming from a 7 year old LG (1650x1050 2ms/60Hz) LCD monitor....so, obviously the technology has advanced during that time frame. After researching LCD/LED monitors, especially for gaming purposes - it boiled down to the BenQ and the Asus. I chose the Asus due to the fact that there are more users and AsusTek is more of a household name when compared to BenQ. Even though both monitors use the exact same TN panel I thought it prudent to go with the Asus due to their 3 year warranty...which just sweetens the deal. Upon unboxing the monitor, I noticed how much thinner the LED panel is when compared to my 7 year old LG. Lighter too. I set it up, plugged in the power cable and crossed my fingers that there would be no dead pixels. Bam! Like looking into a lighthouse. It was bright! But ZERO dead/stuck pixels anywhere on the 24 inch panel. I was very pleased with that aspect but I then faced what other reviewers have stated - washed out colors. Its definitely not a pretty image straight out of the box but one has to realize that everyones eyesight is different and personal preference does play a role. I proceeded to download the ICC profile from www.pcmonitors.info and followed their instructions. Worked like a charm. I have the desktop resolution set to 1920x1080@144Hz and its simply amazing the difference between a 60Hz monitor and a higher refresh monitor. One has to sit down in front of it to truly appreciate the difference. It also works wonders under FPS-style games like BF3 and BF4 as well as War Thunder. Very, very nice. Have not had enough time yet to experience the full gaming experience with this monitor and I will follow-up with a write-up on that. In the meantime, I will state that I am very pleased with the monitor, the colors, the refresh rate, etc. Maybe I lucked out that there were no dead/stuck pixels but I think that the probabilities are that QA at Asus will catch the majority of them before they hit the distribution channels. UPDATE - 01/25/2014 - So, I have had this monitor for a solid 4 days and I continue to be impressed. Performs perfectly under Battlefield 3 and 4, War Thunder (simply AMAZING visuals), Payday 2, Far Cry 3, etc. For those complaining about the colors being washed out...Id recommend downloading the ICC file and then working off of that especially using Nvidia color vibrance controls. Makes a world of difference. Unfortunately, some games misbehave and take complete ownership of the colors and some additional in-game tweaking is in order but its worth it. 5 Stars through and through folks...you wont go wrong with this monitor. For the price/performance...get this monitor...you cannot go wrong!

Fantastic resultion and image quality. It integrates seamlessly with NVIDIAs 3d Vision platform and impresses the hell out of me. When you do set up the monitor, make sure that it is recognized as an ASUS VG248QE and not the actual LCD panels name. If that shows up, download the drivers from ASUSs website to ensure that the monitor is recognized. Two problems arose during operation though. First is the baddie; The power button sometimes refuses to turn on the monitor. It stays black. Im forced to power cycle the monitor via power cable, then the power button lights up and responds. This is an erratic issue and perhaps a design glitch. That entitled one star off with justification and thats being nice about it. The second is the adjustable height. At any time, do not have anything under the monitor or on the stand itself. If the monitor is presses down at the top, it will come down on top of anything that is on the stand and may damage either the item or the monitor itself! I put a big label on my stand that says KEEP THINGS OFF ME to remind me and anyone else not to wind up getting their stuff crunched. I nearly lost a good set of $300 computer reading glasses (titanium frame, thankyouverymuch) that way. It integrates in with an older Samsung quite well. Ive had to run the MS color calibration wizard a few times to get things right and I can barely tell the difference between the two. I run a 3D Matrix screen saver and at night it is very engrossing and addictive. If ASUS does takes note of the glitch with the power button, they can feel free to contact me directly so we can discuss and perhaps diagnose this headache.
