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

Amazing response rate! This is the current top of the line for fast gaming . 144hz mode is great, but the real advantage is using 120hz mode with the lightboost trick. This trick eliminates basically ALL motion blur by syncing the backlight with pixel updates (so only correct images are displayed). This is at 120hz - so you get amazing response, no input lag, and no motion blur. Not sure how it can get any better than this as far as performance is concerned. One drawback is the color gamut. It is not top of the line, and probably worse than the average LCD panel in this price range. But that is the price to pay for its amazing performance specifications. Using the lightboost trick removes almost any calibration you can make to the monitor, so unfortunately theres not way to get both a great picture and great performance. The adjustable stand is great - lots of vertical movement, rotation (of the stand and monitor), and tilt. Not much downward tilt, so youll have to make sure your eyes are at least at the middle of the monitor in a natural position, but the monitor collapses to that its about 1 in off the the desk, so this shouldnt be problem in most situations. Havent used 3D on it yet (but the 3D features are required to do the lightboost trick). Theres a new technology coming out, Gsync, from nvidia that is the successor to the lightboost trick (since this isnt officially recognized by nvidia), but requires a hardware upgrade. So far, this is the only monitor that supports Gsync (with the upgrade), though im guessing more monitors will come out with it built in. For the price, you cannot get a better gaming monitor.

This monitor is a HUGE step up from my previous monitor, which was a generic Samsung 1440x900 60Hz 19 monitor, so I might not be able to give a great review. Basically, this monitor is pretty awesome. Asus is a great monitor maker (along with almost anything else tech related it seems) and they knew what they were doing. 24 inches is a perfect size (Im a college student living in a dorm and the monitor barely fits underneath the shelf above the desk), 1080p (which in my opinion is all you need right now since you would need to buy a much more expensive graphics card to power a higher resolution monitor) and 144Hz is just plain overkill. The stand is great with pivot, tilt, etc and all the ports are there. Why only four stars? Two things: the speakers on this monitor are horrendous. Yes, I know, they are monitor speakers, but for a gaming grade monitor a part of me wishes that they could have at least put some better front facing speakers somehow. The second thing is now that there is G-Sync and FreeSync, its hard to recommend such a high refresh rate monitor without either of these technologies. G-Sync was even developed with this specific monitor! Now G-Sync I can understand why they dont include, since the module itself is expensive (thanks Nvidia), but FreeSync is suppose to cost almost next to nothing for panel manufacturers, so I would personally recommend you wait until those monitors come out or pick a G-Sync monitor (ex ASUS Swift line) if you plan on sticking with Nvidia for a long time.

Very good monitor very easy to setup and it’s very smooth I use this monitor for gaming and watching movies it’s has a lot of customization.The color is very nice and had no problems with it.

Monitor review will begin with a * infront. So let me first start off by saying this is my 2nd Asus VG248QE. The first one was delivered but within 10 mins of being on my step, police think someone followed the delivery truck and jacked it. It arrived apparently with the monitor not in another box but just a big box with a handle displaying your beautiful monitor. Niceee. So I now have no monitor. After 3 days investigation with USPS and Amazon and the Local PD. We conclude that it was stolen right under my nose while I was home and on my way to grab the box after hearing my text alert. Amazon, thank you again for being 5 star and not only handling this matter but sending me a replacement. I have it now. Its setup and Im just so thrilled. Its beautiful and Im blown away by the clarity. Amazon I will be a customer for life for your awesome and understanding service representatives. Conclusion! Watch packages carefully and set up custom delivery instructions or a safety box to deliver your merchandise safe and sound to prevent this. I bought ring cameras with solar that are rechargeable, wireless, and 1080p. You can get them on Amazon aswell for 220 roughly. Theft wont occur ever again at my step! *monitor is heavy but light. Its a solid quality build. No dead pixels. The visuals are night and day and I was using a pretty good fairly new 60 inch by sharp aquos with 4k. I actually see how a smaller monitor is better for fps! And my oh my do I love this monitor. And yes it flips sideways! All in all. Just buy this one!! PS thank you Amazon for making this difficult transaction very easy!!! P.S.S. whoever stole my monitor. I hope you use it to the full potential and it helped your family out. If you sold it for drugs. Shame on you. Go get a job and learn what it feels like to earn something from hard work. Thank you very much.

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.

Keep in mind you will only get 144hz if you are using anything other than display port. Your gpu should have the port already if it is a newer one.

This is probably one of THE most popular gaming monitors right now, as it has been referenced time and time again on the PC forums. This is the monitor to go with if you are after certain expectations, with little (fixable) drawbacks that you need to worry with. BUY IF: If you want to step up your gaming beyond 60 FPS Your needs support 1080p vs 1440p vs 4k Your space supports 24 > monitor size only You want to dabble with 3D Gaming now or later Skip IF: Your GPU Can not processes > 60 FPS Your wanting to go into 1440P or 4k gaming soon You NEVER have the intentions of using Nvidia 3D You use AMD GPUs. Currently, I am running three of these monitors with Nvidia surround technology loaded, as well as Nvidia 3D running on certain games. By itself, this monitor is simply superb, I even attached my xbox one to it and found it more enjoyable to game on versus my 47 or 60 TVs (personal preference perhaps). The trick about this monitor that you must accept is, if you plan to use it at 144hz, you need to know that your GPU can handle the frame rates required. It takes a lot of horse power to get up in frame rates on some of the newer AAA titles like Call of Duty Black ops III (horrible optimization at the moment), Witcher 3, Just Cause 3, SW Battlefront, etc. If your GPU is running an Nvidia 970 or < you will be fine. If you are planning to push 120fps with a 960, or anything lower than this, you will have to turn down a bit of settings to make it happen (no AA, dynamic shadows, god rays, etc). My setup - i7 4790k Devils Canyon (OCd 4.7ghz 24/7) (Liquid cooled) SLI (dual) GTX 970 (OCd to 1550 / 8100 @ 1.275V) Asus Hero VII Maximus MOBO Results in all games maxed out with greater than 120 fps on a single display. In Surround. . . Black Ops III ~ 110 fps with all settings on Medium to high Witcher 3 ~ 60 fps on High preset (extremely demanding) Battlefield 4 ~ 120 fps locked all settings ultra Diablo 3 ~ 120 FPS locked max settings The downsides mentioned. . . Thick bezels. but you know this going in - there are plenty of thinner options out there, but none at this price point with this feature set. Horrid color calibration out of the box - youll need a new color profile ASAP. I used the x-rite ColorMunki calibration tool and sunk all 3 monitors in order to match profiles. AFTER this, the monitors look EXCELLENT and are able to match printed colors.

Ok guys so I got this monitor exclusively for my PS4, with that said I know I will not be able to take advantage of the 144Hz and the other features that the monitor has. The one thing you can take full advantage is the 1ms response time and the Game Plus Function with different recitals, I will be honest I was very skeptical about this feature. Well I unboxed it and put it together, took about 5 mins and fired this baby up. I adjusted the color, etc,etc, simple to do. Well I am a BF4 player so I went into that game and fixed the settings, I went into the training range to try out the game plus thing, at first I was ok so this is knida of cool. I played around with it for a bit just to get my eyes adjusted to it. Well I went into my first TDM match,using the SAR, well I went 39 and 5, went into another game 45 and 10, third game 35 and 6!!! I kept on playing for about 2 hours and every time I would end a match with over 25 kills and les then 10 deaths?? To be VERY honest this game feature helps out so much that at times I felt like I was cheating. I also did notice that I felt that I had an advantage towards other player with response time, I dont know its weird but you WILL notice it! Now before you guys start saying that this is bs, I also have a gaming rig with a ASUS VG278H which I also used with my ps4. The only reason I got this monitor is because with my VG278H I just felt that my reaction time was slow on my part, not on the monitor, this was an issue with me. I am an older guy so my eyes are not what they use to be plus I where glasses, And I also play at my desk. The ASUS VG278H is an awesome monitor too dont get me wrong, but now this smaller one I can focus my eyes a lot better for me. Bottom line this monitor is beautiful and yes you will see people say you will not benefit with this monitor if you are using it for a console. Its your money do what you like with it, but from a PS4 fan this monitor works awesome. The one tip I will give is the TRACE FREE fuction, set that to 60 or 80, not a 100 you will see a bit of screen tearing or like the ps4 is trying to catch up to the monitor, other than that GET THIS MONITOR!!!!

Overall I have had this monitor for about a week so far and I love it. This was an upgrade from my 20 (1600x900) and that size upgrade is so great to have. PROS: > 144Hz refresh rate is probably one of, if not the most amazing thing on this monitor. Playing video games on this thing feels like playing butter because everything is just so dang smooth. Of course your FPS should be rather high to actually enjoy the 144Hz. > Extremely fast response time (~1ms). > Has a little box/hook thing on the backside of it to keep your cables together. > The swivel/rotation/tilt feels very smooth and nice to me. > Anti-reflection is very nice on the screen. > Mine came with no bad back-light bleed or dead pixels! (ordered from Amazon) CONS: > As with most reviews of the VG248QE, the colors seem very bad out of the box and require calibration for the most part. I have always used TN panels and therefore dont really notice that huge of a color difference between this one and other TN panels. However, if you switch from 60Hz to 144Hz, the colors seem to wash out slightly so keep that in mind. > The Dual-Link DVI cable that is included is short (for me) so I had to move my tower a little closer towards me until I get my BlueRigger DVI cable. > Does not cook me dinner. Other Thoughts: I have not tried the Lightboost yet but I hear its a really nice thing to have. This monitor supports Nvidia 3D Vision but you need the actual components yourself. This monitor apparently comes with speakers but I have not tried them out yet because I have a separate audio system so I do not know the quality of that. Straight out-of-the-box, the brightness is enormous on this monitor and it was hurting my eyes at first until I turned it down.

If you are looking to upgrade from a 60 hz monitor or considering getting a graphics card but sticking with a lower quality monitor, take this monitor into consideration. I say this because upgrading to a better monitor, whether it is for gaming, work, or general use, a monitor has a huge impact quality-wise. You will notice a difference without having to change any of your computers internal hardware. This monitor is a great upgrade for most gamers. You will notice a huge improvement in detail just by getting rid of that outdated one you are using with your current computer. If you do want to get this, I would highly recommend having a graphics card/motherboard that supports DisplayPort video out connections. This allows you to utilize the 144 hz refresh rate the monitor is built for. I personally like this monitor so much, I bought a second one a year or two after I purchased the first (I multitask a lot). So far they have run well for years (countless hours of gaming, watching movies/tv shows via streaming services, and web browsing) without issues. My recommendation is, if you do plan on getting this monitor, wait for a sale and get the best deal you can.
