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

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.

Well... To start off, heres what came in my box (as of July 8, 2017) 1x DVI Dual Link Cable (DONT USE THIS GARBAGE CABLE THAT COMES WITH THE MONITOR!! More info down below) 1x ASUS VG248QE Monitor 1x ASUS VG248QE Monitor Drivers CD (Im not exactly sure what this is, but its in the box! lol) 1x Audio Cable 1x Power Cable 1x Manual Actual monitor review: I have owned this monitor for exactly a month! Its definitely the cheapest 144Hz monitor that you will find at this price range (as of this review it is fluctuating around $250). If you are coming from a 60Hz monitor then you will definitely be able to see the difference. (Its life changing! No more strain on the eyes!) The way the monitor is built is also outstanding. You can turn it in all directions possible! The vertical height of this monitor is astounding, and turning it horizontally is a breeze with the lazy susan type of thing it sits on. I really only have two issues with this monitor, and both of the issues can easily be resolved. My first issue would be that the ENTIRE monitor is a glossy finish which results in a lot of fingerprints and visible dust collection, but that isnt a issue with the monitor, more on personal preference. My other issue is that when you first get this monitor plugged in and ready to go and turn it on, your eyes will bleed. The colors that this monitor is preset to is awful. The presets that they have in the menu option are also awful. It hurt my eyes when I first turned it on and configuring it to get it to a usable color saturation was difficult as this monitor really favors yellow hues (at least in my opinion). But the color issue I fixed within the first hour of owning it so no biggie! Some tips and tricks if you have issues with your monitor (Such as a flickering red pixel problem like me): I suggest that when you receive your monitor to go and check for dead pixels (just type in dead pixel test in Google). I did this when I first got it and it was clear for dead pixels, yay! My reason for 4 stars though is because exactly after a month (the time you get to refund an item no questions asked on Amazon) I got flickering red pixels on my screen when I watched videos or played games!! Yikes!! That freaked me out! I thought I was out $250, lol. Google is my best friend though and I passionately looked and hoped for a fix to flickering red pixels. Most of the solutions were to check my GPU. Everything was already updated though and at this point I was pretty sad. Then I saw a solution which was try switching out the DVI Cable. I thought this was so stupid but at the same time so brilliant! (Or maybe I thought it was stupid because I didnt even think of doing that at first...hehe) I used the cable that came with the box originally. I just went out to my local electronics store and picked up a DVI dual link cable and BOOM! No more flickering red pixels!!! So I would definitely say DO NOT use the cable that comes with the box. It will give you a very big headache and a sense of impending doom... I hope this review helped!

Lets address a few things. This monitor delivers on speed, hands down. If you play online multiplayer games like Battlefield 4, you will have an advantage over those who have a regular 60hz monitor. Some critics claim that the human eye can not see frames produced at that high of a rate so 60hz is fine. They dont know what they are talking about. FrankieOnPC on youtube explains this very well, and a higher refresh rate makes all the difference. Next, out of the box color issues. This is a huge deal for a lot of people. When you fire this monitor up the factory color settings are terrible. It looks like youre looking at a picture under water. However, minor adjustments are the key to making this monitor look dynamite. If you Google the model number people have included their settings and an ICC color profile that you can download to make the colors even more vibrant. But, let me tell you what my settings are for reference: Brightness: 60 Contrast: 80 Saturation: 50 Then I set ASUSs Splendid mode to Theater. This gives the deepest blues, reds, and blacks. It provides strong division on the grey scales, and makes the yellows and lighter greens (which are very bland out of the box) pop. After that I did install an ICC profile found on Reddit and various other sites. This was the icing on the cake. Performance wise, its very hard to notice the difference between 1ms and 5ms input lag. But the 144hz refresh rate is very noticeable. Everything is much smoother. Screen tearing is gone. And if you want to run Vsync, you can. But chances are you will have gotten rid of tearing without having to enable Vsync. I wish I bought this monitor first for my gaming rig. I had no idea how much of a difference a higher refresh rate made. Its night and day. I will never go back to 60hz.

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.

Sometimes the sounds gone, sometimes it doesnt, but when the sound can finally connect, the sound got smaller than when it first got here. phew

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

I purchased this monitor before G-sync went live and fell deeply in love with the response rate and the 144hz speed. I am a professional gamer and play games that require twitch movement and speed. I went from a 70Hz 6ms Asus monitor to this whopping 144Hz 1ms monitor and I DEFINITELY notice a difference. From games such as Starcraft and CS:GO, this monitor provides you with the edge in game. I demand performance and this is exactly what it gave me and more. I installed G-Sync following the DIY tutorial on NVIDIAs web site. The installation was easy granted that I have experience dismantling and building computers and components. The overall installation only took 20 minutes for me and really improved my gaming performance. The twitch games such as CS:GO are the kind that I really saw a jump in improvement. The G-Sync along with the 1ms and 144Hz gave games such as BF4, Crysis, and CS:GO a great boost in fluidity and responsiveness. As stated before, my old monitor was 6 years old and this upgrade turned my whole life around. The responsiveness, cleanliness, and fluidity are very noticeable and give me more of an enjoyable gaming experience. I have even restarted various games such as Metro and Bioshock because the gameplay was that much more enjoyable with this monitor and with G-sync installed. If you are in the market for a gaming monitor that is G-sync capable, look no further. For the price you are getting a top-notch monitor with the capability of adding g-sync to really boost your experience. This is by far one of the most important parts of my gaming rig i have purchased and is one that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to get the most out of their computer and their gaming experience. Side note: I have recently ditched my 60hz 42in TV from my living room since I am no longer able to bare the slow 60Hz. I now watch TV on my Asus monitor...

i went from an old office monitor to this one and i love it, the quality difference was insane. I recommend the monitor.

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.

Los colores se ven muy bien y la respuesta de la pantalla es bastante fluida
