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

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!

I loved my monitor and will be buying a second!

I had this monitor before please be aware when you have it vertical the screen is curved and it can cause the screen to warp like my last one regardless good screen~ I have OCD kind of so I needed it to match my other monitor which is the same one.

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.

When my old Dell Ultrasharp met an unfortunate end, it was time for a new monitor. I was looking for something under $250 US, with good color for both gaming and general family use. I knew there would be tradeoffs at this price point, so I spent quite a bit of time on research. When I decided on the Asus 249Q, I tried to buy it at my preferred retailer for electronics - Best Buy - but they were out of stock. Fortunately, Amazon had 9 available. UPS trashed the package during delivery, but the monitor itself was unscathed. Assembly was laughably easy ... really good engineering. My priorities were: 1. Screen quality - IPS panel, 144Hz, 4ms/1ms response. This is a first generation IPS gaming monitor, and I am very pleased with how it looks and performs out of the box. The on-screen controls are plentiful and easy to use, but I thought the stock settings were perfect for my use. 2. Stand quality - I wanted something solid and adjustable. This stand swivels, tilts, and has height adjustment. Its footprint is small, and I love the minimalist look. The connectors on the back are a bit difficult to reach, but I like that they do not disrupt the lines. This monitor has an elegant look from every angle, including the back. 3. Connections - I needed both an HDMI (for my Xbox One X) and a DisplayPort (for my computer). And the trade-offs: UPDATE - Asus was less than honest in listing the specifications. While featuring that the monitor supports FreeSync, they did not specify that this is only via DisplayPort, not HDMI. They are smart people and must know that this omission is misleading. 1. No G-sync. If you are looking to buy or built a computer with a GTX GPU, this might be an issue. 2. Connectors. There is one HDMI, one DisplayPort, one VGA, and strangely one audio-in jack (no audio out jack). Thats it. No USB. This works for me. 3. Speakers. I dont believe monitors should try to do audio. It never ends well. This monitor includes speakers, and, no surprise, they are thin and weak. I was initially very pleased with my purchase and gave it 5 stars. The monitor has no evident quality issues. I am disappointed with Asus for its misleading specifications regarding FreeSync support. Anyways, if any additional issues come up, I will circle back and update this review.

Bought the monitor a few months ago, works great, is absolutely amazing but the only issue for me is that it is much to big for my desk which is not a very long length. Thus, I am desperately trying to get rid of it for a fair price since it is too late to return. Selling it for 200 or best offer. message my reddit u/usa-chann

Smooth and beautiful display.

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.
