    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.

    Brightness/Contrast - wow, its greats for the movies and games that you might enjoy the contrast and brightness ratios that it offers. Stand - pivots and rotates for those who like the option to flip their screen 144 HZ - Amazing for gaming and you need some decent gpu setup to even make use of the 144 hz. Its only the downside, but you can always pickup a cheaper 60 hz monitor. Sound - Not too many monitors do the whole integrated speakers too often, which works great for consoles that you plug into the monitor and it has a headphone so you dont bother others. 3d support - Granted it works should you have the right 3d glasses to work for games and movies, but it when it does; its great. Settings - take a bit of time to adjust the screen, so it doesnt bother your eyes that much. Just wished you could set your own predefined settings that you could switch easily. Like the game/night view, standard, and rgb modes. The monitor is seeming to fail, and it has been flashing white constantly lately. Not really sure whats going on here. Had the monitor for at least 6 months and now it seems to do this while gaming or watching a movie. Looked up to see if anyone else is having this issue. Not really much on it. Probably going to need to get a replacement soon. Well, the screen acts up and in which there is alot of flickering going on and then seemingly just stops. Update: 1/29 The warranty - is so slow. Like one to two weeks to get a replacement sent out after you send in your old monitor. Advanced replacement can be sent out on your behalf; well if you want a 250 charge on your card. Advanced replacement still takes one to weeks; irregardless of sending in the monitor and then waiting the one to weeks out. Any who, rma process is supposed to take two to three day, then you use the fedex shipping that asus gives you. Of course asus covers shipping fees, which is nice not too worry about. Wish there was an expedited shipping on the advanced replacement or returning process. Probably at least a month without a monitor sucks, but at least the warranty will cover this.

    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.

    This is my 3rd ASUS monitor. The first two were purchased years ago for a dual screen setup. This was my first experience with a 144hz monitor (the previous monitors were only 60hz) and all I can say is What a difference! Games were fantastic with my GPU set to 144hz refresh rate. Fast scrolling through webpages looks like Im literally moving a long piece of paper. The page isnt choppy at all. I wish I would have had the funds to go 1 step further and get the 4k monitor from ASUS. The stand is great. Easy height adjustment with just slight pressure up or down. Plenty of tilt and rotation as well as being able to rotate the monitor vertically 90 degress which would be great for coding. It seems quite stable as monitors go as well.If you get any wobble from typing/gaming its probably due to the quality of the desk it sits on and not the stand. Mine doesnt move even a little on my desk. If it matters, the buttons are on the bottom (my previous ASUS monitors were this way as well). The big difference with these buttons is that the power button is more protruded than the others (both the buttons on this monitor and the buttons previously used by ASUS) and it lights up which combined makes it easy to locate by both feel and sight. Switching between view settings is easy. It comes with pre-set views optimized for different uses. Or you can customize it to whatever you would like. If you dont have your heart set on 4k or the AMD/Nvidia plugins, you will not go wrong with this monitor. Its a great buy and I highly recommend ASUS monitors for their price/performance.

    Pretty good monitor for 1080p gaming. Would recommend if you are using with headset or external speakers, the internal speakers are quite low audibly.

    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.

    Clean install of Windows 10 w/ an EVGA 2080TI had random display freezing issues. The exact same system ran w/o issues on 3 BenQ monitors. Upgrading to Windows 11 did not address the issue. These ASUS displays (3 of them) would appear frozen but the Windows Event log would show that the computer was running just fine. I tried swapping out the graphic card, DP cables (bought thicker gauges, shorter lengths, w/ propper pinning), lowered refresh rates, and did the whole dance of making sure the latest chipset/graphics card/etc. drivers were installed. After a few weeks of trying different things, disabling G-Sync cured the issue. Not sure if it is because there is no driver for the display, I have too many connected (3), or what. It is disappointing, but at a 165hz refresh rate, I dont know if disabling G-Sync will matter. Also, these monitors seem to take a slightly longer time to wake from sleep compared to my other 3-monitor setup using BenQ monitors. Which could also be a difference. The control scheme on the back of the monitor is not ideal for multiple monitor setups. Controls that run along the bottom edge or along the front bezel are preferred. The controls on this monitor are on the right back side which makes the middle and left monitor in a 3-head setup, hard to get to. After initial setup, it wont matter much unless you are the kind of person who actually swaps monitor modes based on what you are doing. Other than that, the monitors seem great. High refresh rates (165hz), color scheme, etc.
