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

The screen is easy to put together, has all the eye care, and brightness features you’d expect from a monitor today. Also the refresh rate is so good, I often forget it’s only a 1080 screen

Pros: Monitor is large yet compact and will not take up a lot of space on a desk. The ability to raise and lower the screen vertically with just a push makes going from low/eye level when typing to fully elevated for watching movies farther away really convenient. The very bottom of the monitor is 2 from the desk when its fully lowered and 6 7/8 from the desk when fully raised (just some info I wish knew when buying). Although I likely wont use it that often, I also like the option to swivel the monitor into a vertical orientation. Lastly, the 144 Hz refresh rate is extremely noticeable especially if youre coming from an old 60 Hz monitor. Mouse movement, window dragging & video games are so much smoother and fluid. Others may disagree but I found the viewing angles for the monitor to be very forgiving. Granted, if you try and look from a 45 degree angle youll see some yellowing/bluing and darkening but that is expected of a TN panel. Cons: The monitor will ONLY work in 144 Hz mode when using the DVI or DP ports and a resolution of 1920x1080. I bought an HDMI cable assuming it would support 144 Hz but its capped at 60 Hz. Maybe thats just my lack of understanding technical information about HDMI and DVI/DP so I can let it slide, I just wish it was stated. Out of box, in all the default Splendid viewing modes the colors were very washed out and each mode was VERY bright. After a bit of research, this appears to be a common problem with the monitor. The solution is to download custom ICC profiles. A simple search of the monitor model number and ICC profiles leads you to multiple tutorials on how to load these profiles. After the profiles are applied the difference is obvious; the colors, contrast, brightness etc. are all improved dramatically. I only wish ASUS put a little more work into the default settings so I wouldnt have to adjust anything. Summary: Overall, the monitor is the perfect size for sitting up close but also big enough to watch movies from afar. There were no defects, scratches, or dead pixels (so far) out of the box. The screen is very bright and clear, but youll likely have to download an ICC profile or tweak the settings to get the picture/colors that are best for you. Be sure you have a dual-link DVI supported video card before purchasing because the 144 Hz can only be unlocked using DVI/DP. For a $277 monitor with 144 Hz capabilities and decent-good picture quality (after adjustment) its a solid buy.

This is my first monitor I have purchased since college years ago. Let me begin by giving a TL;DR: Excellent introductory 144hz monitor that has terrible color profiles out of the box. Let me begin by saying that this is my first 144hz monitor, and I couldnt be happier with my purchase. The response time is excellent and the refresh rate makes for buttery smooth performance for gaming, as well as day to day windows and linux use. The build quality is nice, and I quite like the stand for what it is. Its easy to adjust the height with two fingers, and the swivel on the bottom of the monitor stand has been a great for convenience. One thing that I didnt notice immediately was how terrible the calibration on this monitor is out of the box. It is EXTREMELY bright, and the color accuracy is lacking. Dont let this get you down, though. A few quick Google searches will reveal forum posts that explain how to set up windows color calibration profiles properly for this monitor. After following a few guides and tweaking my color and gamma settings, everything looks much, much better, and my eye strain due to the brightness was reduced greatly. This isnt a huge deal, but for the average user who has the take what you get mindset and doesnt think to calibrate the monitor, its worth mentioning that you shouldnt settle for good enough here. Your mileage may vary slightly, but it is definitely worth calibrating this bad boy. In the end, my significant other became jealous of my fancy new monitor. She loved it so much that we went to a local store and purchased a second one for her gaming rig as well! (I didnt want to wait for the device to arrive via Amazon. I know, I know.) Highly recommend. Rating 4 stars due to the poor color and brightness calibration out of the box. Other than that, this thing is bang on. Great job Asus.

5 Star product, a must have for serious or competitive gamers! First off I have done a lot of research in trying to find the perfect gaming monitor/TV’s and gaming monitors are the way to go, make sure to get a gaming monitor not just a regular monitor, there is a difference. (I currently have Xbox 360 and also Xbox one) I have read ton of reviews and by far the people who had bad reviews on this monitor are wrong. The issues I have read about them having problems with their monitor I have had none and my friend as well has had no issues (I believe they have had defective product which they can return). Asus also has a 3 year warranty on this bad boy! Now people have said BenQ is the big boy on the block and I believe they are wrong. I have played on BenQ monitors and they really don’t compare to the value and design of Asus. Now I was also worried about the size of this monitor… YOU DON’T NEED TO BE. I have had 27, 29inch monitors and what this monitor lacks in size makes up in performance. Pros /Features– HDMI 1080P 80,000,000-1 Contrast ratio 144hz refresh rate. 1ms input lag which makes a huge difference. If you play a lot of FPS games, input lag is very important. This monitor comes with speakers which are a plus, they are a little weak for my taking, and I use turtle beach headsets when I game. GAME MODE- This monitor has a pretty cool feature called game mode where you can have crosshairs on the center of your screen, this is really good for Gear of War when you need to blind fire. Also has a game timer where you can use it for COD game types like search and destroy when you need to use a timer for a spawn. There is so much to list so little room to write. I don’t want to make this review a novel. OVERALL I love this monitor. It is one of the best on the market and I hope this review helped you out.

The first time I discovered this product is when I was looking for monitors on amazon. I bought this monitor for the purpose to complete my computer setup. the specs of the monitor are it being 24 inches wide, 1920x1080p, and 144Hz. Strengths about this monitor are that it is 1080p, it has a refresh rate of 144hz, it has a 1ms response time, and it also has a cross hair in the middle of the screen for fps games. One thing that i love about this monitor is that is has a spot to hand your headphones comfortably behind the monitor and has cable organizers running down the back of the monitor. Weaknesses that I have to point out about the monitor is that it doesnt have the best eye support technology for long game sessions so it will strain your eyes over a period of time. Another weakness about this monitor is that it doesnt have the best speakers as they can muffle sometimes depending on what is playing through them. One more weakness about this monitor is that the panel used for the monitor isnt the best when faced in direct sunlight as it is hard to see the screen because of the glare. My final thought about this monitor is that it is a good product and I am satisfied with my purchase.

Game Monitor If you get it for the normal price. This monitor is excellent. Pros: 3 year Warranty 144hz + Tracefree Technology Adjustable Stand 144hz capable with DVI-D or Display Cable. Monitor Digital Vibrance (Saturation) Excellent clarity Cons: Colors when using 144hz. Theres no nice way to say, the colors suck by default. You can tweak it but it will take sometime to find exactly what you like. The nice thing though is depending on the profile you select, you can up digital vibrance on the monitor it self. It makes console games look amazing. PS4, Wii U, and Xb1 looks great, But remember, Consoles only use 60hz or lower depending on the game. If you google this monitor you will find a reddit with a bunch of different colors and profiles to try. Motion Sickness: I found this monitor was making me slightly motion sick. Im not use to see 144 FPS in pc games so it was messing with me a little. I expect this will go away shortly as it was slowly getting better over time while using it last night. Final Thoughts: Personally, I love this monitor. I bought it mainly for the 144hz for CS:GO and some other games on PC. The colors arent nearly as close to my 27 LED Viewsonic monitor but I knew that going into it. The monitor is great for competative gaming and for console gaming as well. Even though its only 24, if your playing a game at a desk like I am, it works perfect. If your looking for a monitor to do graphic design or you care a lot about colors, get an IPS screen. This is a TN panel after all. its meant for gaming, and thats pretty much it. Ive used BenQ monitors in the past and they are very nice, but honestly, this monitor is just as good if not better for some. BenQ is like the Apple brand of monitors. Its a big name and everyone loves them but they are also elistest with it as well. Go for whats cheaper and you will not be sorry.

The screen is so bright it makes the colors pop. My old monitor has clouding issues and man, I was missing so much by not upgrading earlier. Maybe I can get a replacement screen for my older monitor so that my eyes will be better off.

I order this for my Xbox, So far it’s been good. Had to adjust settings to get the best gaming quality. No speakers tho, I had to order some separate that was a bummer.

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.
