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

I had an Asus 21 inch 60Hz monitor for five years before I upgraded to this. I game quite a bit and have never owned a monitor this nice. I have been slowly upgrading my weakest computer computers to some nicer spec gear and this finally hit my list. I have to say I have never used a 120 or 144hz monitor before this and the difference is like night and day to me coming from a 60hz monitor. I was on a budget when I initially built my computer but of all the components I cheaped out on I must urge you not to do that on your monitor. This monitor was only about 100$ more than the one I initially bought but it is easily worth 3x that in price compared to a standard 60hz monitor. I really didnt think there was that much of a difference until I tried it but I am never going back to a 60hz monitor. I thought my video card was just more dated than I wanted to admit but in reality I just couldnt see what my video card could actually do because my monitor wasnt fast enough to display it. I mainly play FPS games and there is no screen tearing anymore and I feel like I can respond faster to things on my screen since I can actually see them faster. This was one of the best single component computer upgrades I have ever bought. Also my original Asus monitor didnt fail, I just wanted to upgrade. I have had no issues with that one for over five years and this one has been functionally perfectly as well. I love the brand and would easily buy this product again or recommend it to anyone.

ASUS VG248QE 24 Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 1ms... What do we all want to know about the ASUS VG248QE 144HZ monitor.For a while i was curious and started my research about monitors and the refresh rate and what the benefits were and how much it would affect my budget along with do i have a decent graphics card and how that would affect my gaming experience and myself coming from a ips monitor was it going to be worth it and could i take the leap for a 144HZ monitor and like i have read beforeand let me tell you,if you are ready for a TN monitor at 144HZ look no further this ASUS VG248QE 24 is absolutely beautiful,and i mean you could be watching one of your music videos and kinda get the feeling that you could just reach into the monitor or put your hand right under the front of the this monitor and scoop whatever you want and grab it right out into the palm of your hand/s,and this is no joke.I really dont see how some people complain about the color because after a couple of days i found my settings and not the settings you will see posted here on some other reviews to work for this monitor.So if you are truly ready for a TN monitor with over 60HZ look no further because i spent over a year reading post after post,site after site and i will never go back to a IPS monitor again hands down.So anyone reading this post congratulations and kudos for taking the leap of pixels.

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 upgraded my gaming setup by purchasing two ASUS TUF Gaming 23.8 1080P Monitors (VG249Q1R), and I am thrilled with the results! These monitors have proven to be exceptional replacements for my old ones, enhancing my gaming experience to a whole new level. First and foremost, the visual quality of these monitors is outstanding. The Full HD resolution and IPS panel deliver stunningly sharp and vibrant images, making every game come to life with rich colors and remarkable detail. The 165Hz refresh rate (supports 144Hz) ensures smooth and fluid motion, eliminating any blur or stuttering during fast-paced gaming sessions. The 1ms response time is a game-changer, providing instant and precise responsiveness to my actions. Whether engaging in intense battles or navigating through complex environments, the ASUS TUF Gaming monitors to keep up with my every move, allowing for quick and accurate reactions. The Extreme Low Motion Blur feature, further enhances the visual experience by reducing motion blur, resulting in crystal-clear and highly immersive gameplay. I can now enjoy fast-paced action without any distracting ghosting effects. I appreciate the inclusion of built-in speakers, as they provide decent audio quality for casual gaming and general multimedia use. While dedicated gaming headsets are still ideal for immersive sound, the speakers offer a convenient option for those quick gaming sessions. The FreeSync™ Premium technology is valuable, synchronizing the monitors refresh rate with the graphics cards output, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering for a seamless visual experience. ASUSs Shadow Boost technology deserves special mention, as it enhances the visibility of dark scenes without overexposing bright areas. This feature proves particularly useful in games where spotting enemies hiding in shadows can make all the difference. Mounting the monitors was a breeze, thanks to their VESA compatibility, allowing easy integration into my preferred setup. I highly recommend the ASUS TUF Gaming 23.8 1080P Monitors (VG249Q1R) to anyone seeking an exceptional gaming experience. These monitors combine stunning visuals, fast response times, immersive features like Extreme Low Motion Blur and Shadow Boost, and convenient connectivity options through DisplayPort and HDMI. Gaming has never been more enjoyable with these monitors, and Im delighted with my purchase!

I have been happy with most ASUS products I have owned over the years. Reading some of the harsh critical comments about this unit did give me pause, but I went with my gut feeling and purchased it anyway. So far I am very happy with it. I find the standard setting to be the best compromise as far as what, to my eyes, seems accurate and natural looking for games. I bought this to replace a 20 HP which I got at Walmart years ago. However, I wanted to step up from 60Hz to 122 or 144, since my video card is fully capable of 150 frames per second on my games. I play FPS pc games pretty exclusively and this monitor has given me a slight edge, when combined with a larger mouse pad and my Razer mouse/keyboard. The bigger screen and smoother action has helped me with twitch targeting slightly, and is much more pleasurable to view overall. Foolishly, I initially went to a website to find what the experts recommended as far as user-tweakable settings and, along with a few other things, cranked up the Trace Free setting to 100, as directed. Later, when I tested one of my games, I was getting horrible ghost-like edges and a rainbowish motion blur. Of course, I completely forgot about the Trace Free setting and became disillusioned when I returned all settings to what I thought was factory default, and the problem persisted. Eventually, after much exasperation, I returned the Trace Free setting to factory, (40), and the monitor looks beautiful now. As far as the low ratings here, I must conclude that there are simply enthusiasts here who are a bit too snobbish for their own good. Are there better monitors out there? Sure, I have seen a couple, but, if you are like me and you do not want to invest $600 in a monitor, then look no further. This one will be a very welcome upgrade. I recommend you buy it.

This is based off using this for 2D Gaming. I wont be using this monitor for 3D gaming because I think its terrible. Pros: +144hz eliminates almost all motion blur in games. If you have the computer power to push them higher frames. +60hz vs 144hz is night and day. +Anti Glare Coating is super nice. Not grainy looking at all and keeps glares at bay. + I havent noticed any input lag at all in various games. +Price is right for this tech +I love the adjustable stand +Asus OSD is easy to navigate with good options to calibrate +Very easy to fine tune using Spyder 4 elite Negatives: - Very poor luminance uniformity. Spyder 4 showed 35% difference on upper left sector. - All 4 Asus monitors purchased in last 2 months all had stuck pixels. (Three pb278q returned with zero problems because Amazon is the best in the business) -Minor backlight bleed -Worst colors out of box I have ever seen. Spyder 4 elite made this look half way decent. -TN Panel, so poor colors compared to newer IPS/PLS Panels. Most these problems point to quality control IMO. UPDATE 1/26/2013: All TN panels look bad to me after buying a Asus pb278q which is a pls panel with amazing colors, so I am probably being a bit harsh when I say the colors are bad. But 60hz is just too slow for fast gaming. Where this panel really shines is first person shooters, barely any motion blur. 144fps in Battlefield 3 has helped my aim so much its not even funny. After playing at higher refresh rate, I cannot play on 60hz anymore, it looks terrible. Im raising this one star to 4/5 after gaming on it hardcore for last 24hrs. Would be 5/5 if not for the poor uniformity and stuck pixel. This panel will have to do tell the big companies make a 120hz IPS/PLS or Oled monitor but we wont see that in the near future because you would need so much graphic power to run 1440p at 120hz and get acceptable frames. My EVGA 690 cant even max out all eye candy in games like Farcy 3, Metro 2033, etc... and keep 120+fps constant on this vg248qe 1080p monitor.

Great monitor for gaming, arrived fast.

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!

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.
