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

Good features, good panel, good quality control. Pretty satisfying buy.

It works well but I regret not getting a 2k monitor. I only have a 4gb 3050, but it turns out it can actually play games in 2k with it, older ones anyway. As far as the monitor goes it is OK, good not great. The settings are a joke, at least to me. I only use it on RTS/RPG mode for games, but I use scenery or cinema for movie/tv stuff. The stand is excellent, very high quality. The plugs are hard to get to, but I dont unplug it very often so thats ok. I say it is a good monitor, not that I have much to compare it to other than my laptop display. It is better than that for sure, way bigger and easier to see. It has strong viewing angles, can see the picture from very sharp angles. I like it but I would rather have the 2k version, I just didnt think that GPU could do anything in 2k.

Very good monitor my son loves it

The moniter base did not come.

The downward spiral of the picture quality after only 10 months is drastic. For home use, I would avoid this model. Its fairly unwatchable at this point and there is no recourse to return or fix.

Design: Very thin bezels and the stand allows for tilt, pivot and swivel. Good for a multi monitor setup. Image quality: Picture looks very sharp and clear compared to my Tn panel. No dead pixels on my unit and backlight bleed and Ips Glow is minimal. I only see glow in the bottom right corner. Dark scenes look ok on this monitor. Ghosting/ Input lag: The monitor displays little ghosting during fast scenes at 144hz. The monitor also has an Elmb mode that looks impressive at 144hz and eliminates motion blur completely, but has a faint double image affect that becomes more prominent at lower framerate. 60fps fighting games dont look too good with it on. Speakers: The monitor includes decent sounding speakers. Inputs: Has HDMI, Displayport and D-sub. The D-sub should have been another HDMI or Displayport as it seems useless for a monitor like this.

I would suggest you to rethink twice before purchasing the VG249Q: This is a $150 IPS monitor, advertised as $250 TUF gaming monitor product. It is the same picture quality and identical OSD as ASUS VP249QGR a $100 cheaper option with a worse stand. When the product was delivered, I was stunned with the quality of the build as previous reviewers had stated poor quality control with dead/stuck pixel issues as well as massive glow. I did not have this issues, however my main issues are how the colors look on this monitors, and its picture quality. First off, the colors looks odd, even when calibrated it feels like a shade of color filter is applied to the picture. The standard mode is Racing Mode which is weird since you can not adjust some of the settings in OSD, where as a typical standard mode can be fully calibrated (if you are looking to calibrate your own monitor you may think twice). The second thing you should know, is that the picture quality is blurry, and such mode such as sRGB and Racing prevents you from adjusting its sharpness. The vivid pixel makes the image looks sharp, however it is a bit pixelated even if it is at a minimum settings. IPS glow is expected in every IPS monitor. If you are into a competitive FPS game, you should know that this monitor is averaging around 8 GTG ms response time at a maximum trace free 100. My conclusion: This monitor is not worth the price. If you are on a budget and are looking for the same product get the VP249QGR or AOC 24G2 as they are much cheaper, and have the same Panda panel. As I said, the VP249QGR is the same monitor as VG249Q. All you need is a VESA mount which cost around $20. Meanwhile, there is the AOC 24G2 which has a bit faster GTG response time around 5-7 ms and wider color gamut. If you have a budget of $350 I recommend the VG259QM or MAG251RX which are 240hz and very fast IPS monitors.

I received this product with a dead pixel in the bottom left of the screen. It was out of the way and doesn’t bother me so I didn’t make a big deal of it but it is a bit annoying paying this price for a product just to have a small defect right away out of the box. If it would have been in the middle of my screen this may have been much different as I’m pretty sure the warranty for this you must have 3 or more dead pixels for a return. Although, I am not positive on this. I just didn’t want to look into it. I love the quality and the features it has. You definitely won’t be disappointed with this monitor. The tilt and spin capabilities is awesome. You can adjust the height of the screen to your liking. The blue light filter is something I originally didn’t care about but now I find myself using it from time to time. The only other complaint I have is the set up of gsync/freesync. It is somewhat difficult to figure out and once I got it I was getting occasional flashes of a black screen. The only thing I wish this monitor had was easier compatibility with gsync and obviously no dead pixels. I understand dead pixels can happen on any monitor but seeing a black spec on your brand new screen is slightly disappointing.. that’s the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that, I have no complaints and this is a great product!

Asus always make great products and this will last me a while

Great for 144 hz 1080p on a budget. Free sync is underrated with this if you’re using an nvidia Gpu I feel no lag and no screen tear of course.
