ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q 23.8” Monitor 144Hz Full HD (1920 x 1080) 1ms IPS ELMB FreeSync Eye Care DisplayPort HDMI D-Sub

Love this gaming monitor so far so good no problems I recommend this for gamer

Good

Everything on the monitor is great. I almost thought it was too good to be true for the price. However, I got a dead pixel. I even switched out my HDMI cable to see if it was that and it wasn’t. Please think before purchasing this monitor. Or you can take the risk. I am returning this for a refund.

This monitor is horribly blurry, yellow tinted. Do yourself a favor and buy any other monitor its not worth it. I returned and replaced the monitor thinking that the yellow tint was a defect but after receiving my replacement I learned that is just how the monitor looks. The replacement I got also was damaged with the frame bent causing backlight bleed. Definitely not worth the money or the hassle.

Ill come back after a couple of months of use but so far, this is a very good monitor! These are my initial impressions. Lets start with the main reason I bought this: IPS monitor at 144hz combined with ASUS ELMB (extreme low motion blur) has been a fantastic experience. The technology to be able to combine a high refresh rate and a low motion blur is fairly knew so I imagine there are people out there that do not know it exists. For those people, let me say, that it is very nice to play with. I know there are monitors out there that are better and do the same, but I am talking based off of this being valued at a lower price which to me, is extremely awesome to have such a lowly cost monitor that provides such premium features. The ASCR mode (dynamic contrast) paired with ELMB made my gaming experience coming from a TN panel much better. The colors are more vibrant, I get nearly the same response time as my TN panel does, and I have not noticed any input lag while playing so far. No dead pixels out of the box and no flickering although I will say, if you are experiencing flickering on your above 60hz refresh rate monitor, I would recommend investing in a more expensive display port cable because sometimes companies will not tell you that the display port cable wont support anything above 60hz and as a result you may think your monitor is going bad due to the flickering! **THIS MONITOR COMES WITH A DISPLAY PORT THAT SUPPORTS 144hz!**

Havent experienced any issues with my monitor I love it!

So I’ll break this down into 3 categories. Things I like, things I don’t like, and who I would recommend this monitor to. First off, things I like? - I think the overall picture quality is amazing. It provides a snappy crisp image that with a little bit of tweaking in the monitor settings, you can make vibrant and colorful. This is all done without any screen bleeding or tearing. - Number two for me has to be the size and look of the monitor. I tend to gravitate towards a more minimalist look for anything gaming related. I like character but I don’t like anything over the top topically. This monitor provides extremely thin bezels making the monitor feel and play more like a 24in. This doesn’t take up a lot of desk space which makes it perfect for duel monitor setups especially with the thin bezels and the ability to attach this to a monitor mount. The monitor has the brushed dark gunmetal grey sliver frame with some black as well giving it a nice sleek character with little red accents in places like the base stand. - Third I like the adjustability of the monitor. You can rotate it 360 degrees and lean it forwards, backwards, and also adjust the height quite a bit. Now things I don’t like. - the monitor doesn’t have an opening in the stand to rout cables through like the VG245 had which can make hiding the cables a little more difficult. -Second is that this monitor only has one HDMI port, now this does have a display port and comes with a display cable, this isn’t anything you need to worry about if you are a console gamer. I wish this had two HDMI ports instead of one because having to switch cables going between consoles, or a laptop or pc can get annoying. -My last complaint is the navigation buttons on the monitor to navigate through the settings. Now while this was pretty easy to adjust to I still wasn’t the biggest fan. I prefer what the did on monitors like the VG245 where the had a joystick on the back of the monitor that made navigating through the menu much easier. Now who would I recommend this monitor to? - I think this is the perfect monitor for anyone who is playing on the new set of consoles or any PC or laptop that caps at anything higher than 175hcz. I think this is also the perfect monitor for anyone who competes on a shooter like cod or halo especially with its response time. If you want a perfect medium to smaller sized monitor for any kind of desk gaming I think this is perfect. Now you will definitely have to mess with the monitor settings in fact I will put mine down here - I play on FPS mode -blue light filter 0 -brightness 100 -contrast 85 -saturation 90 -color temp “cool” -skin tone reddish -sharpness 60 -trace free 60 And everything else leave the same as it comes. If you want a crisp smooth playing experience with vibrant beautiful colors than I highly recommend this. Weather you are competing on it or just casually playing solo or with friends on any of the new consoles or on a pc that caps under 175hcz than I think this is your best choice for the overall package. I hope this helped.

I have bought this monitor twice now one in Jan 2020 and one now Apr 2021. This is my favorite monitor in the world. Has amazing colors and is a gaming monitor. Like YESSSSSSS Its perfect for me as a artist and gamer! I never once had an issue with dead pixels or anything happening to my monitors out the box the packaging is always great and handled with so much love and care and I just really love this monitor Its so worth the price.

FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO READ: -Fantastic color range (in racing mode) -Fantastic viewing angles -Sleek design -Overall great monitor Now to the nitty-gritty: This monitor is super stylish. Despite it only being a 24” panel, it looks massive due to the lack of bezels. With that being said though, I am coming from an ASUS VG248QE monitor, which the bezels are very big on that. It has a fantastic range of color, I found that putting it in “racing” mode is the most color accurate. Only other setting I changed was bumping the blue from 100 to 99. Fantastic viewing angles, and blacks definitely look as black as they can get without using an OLED panel. My only complaint was a tiny scratch/indent on the bottom bezel. With that being said though, the scratch kinda looks like an M so my pea brain thinks it’s kinda cool. Either way, I can’t see it past my microphone so I guess it doesn’t matter.

NO problems at all with my monitor. Have a new PC and what better way to treat it with having a high refresh rate / IPS monitor at a good price! The stand and versatility of rotating the screen is what made me fully decide to go with this monitor! Its great! I had an old LED LG monitor that capped at 60hz and difference is just beautiful with the new PC. Also, does include a Display Port cable but no HDMI cable, just a heads up. I wish it had a remote because toggling through settings, you have to Click the buttons under the screen. Thats really the only CON id give it, personally.
