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

Llevo ya unos meses de uso con el monitor, no me ha dado ningún tipo de falla y la verdad es que me parece una de las mejores compras que pude hacer en lo que respecta a este mercado, el de los monitores ips con alta taza de refresco.

The quality is great

Very good monitor my son loves it

The refresh rate is to tier

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.

PROS: -- No dead pixels on mine (this is the one thing I am wary about when it comes to ordering a monitor online) -- Perfect size for 1080p (high pixel density at this size) -- Brightness and contrast look great -- Lots of different settings in the menu -- Build quality seems solid CONS: -- Speakers sound ok, but not amazing; I personally use headphones so it doesnt matter to me -- Power button should ideally be right below the LED indicator, not half an inch to the left of it -- It looks like the border is only about 1/16 inch thick, but the usable part of the LED panel actually ends about 1/8 inch from the plastic frame, so if you are planning on running 2 of these side by side, be aware of that. You will have about 1/4 inch black border (including the frame part) on each side of the monitor. A minor point, but one that should be mentioned. As you can see, there really isnt much to complain about with this monitor. I set mine for 120 Hz (My current GPU cant run games at 144 frames per second anyway). Setup was easy. For a couple games I had to delete content of the games Settings folder in order to get the game to work with this monitor (namely Doom 2016 and RDR2) because those games stored settings from my previous monitor. Its hard to find a 1080P IPS that is this fast and has all these features in a small size. Most IPS 1080P monitors are 27 now, which is too large in my opinion. This is the perfect size for 1080P.

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.

No signal from displayport. Everything plugged in and triple checked. Its apparently a known issue. Fails at the 1 job a monitor has.

If you want a monitor that will give you true, natural color, look somewhere else. This monitor is a waste of money - if I didnt miss the return window I would have returned it, heres why: Im an avid gamer and used the VG248 as my primary monitor. I wanted an IPS monitor with the same specs to use as a dual monitor, so I bought the VG249 (this one). While the IPS has certain advantages over a TN panel, the coloration options for the VG249 make it unusable for anything other than specific gaming functions. The main problem is that there is no Standard Mode, like on almost EVERY OTHER MONITOR out there. I have to choose between 7 different modes that all make pictures look nothing like the original taken on a camera. Mostly, the pictures come out with a reddish/darkening hue which cannot be adequately fixed by changing Windows or monitor onboard color settings (in fact, for most of the monitor modes, you cant edit color settings at all). This monitor is completely useless for doing photo or video editing, and if you want to do normal tasks like look at a family photo album, everyones face will look like theyre about to have a heart-attack. On the VG248, standard mode makes pictures look normal/the way they were taken. Yes, images are sharper, but the discoloration is abominable. What a waste of $250.
