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

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.

After 1.5 years, the monitor is already breaking down. Have huge expectations, but if your products cant last more than 2 years especially with this price rage is a pretty big red flag. I have bought a lot of monitors and all of them are still alive to this day. Another big disappointment. What else is new. Just go next. Dont bother spending your hard earn cash here.

I’ve been using this for 6 months now. The adaptor is a bit loose sometimes. And although not enough brightness for work sometimes, but since it’s anti-galore screen it can use a monitor bar light on top. Gaming is bright enough since I always do it in the dark.

Very good monitor my son loves it

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 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.

Great monitor. Got one used from Amazon, and I’m super impressed. 10/10

There is a worm in the screen. I finally find it. Soooo sick.

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

The monitor worked great for just under one year. Unfortunately, horizontal lines started appearing across the screen even when it wasnt hooked up to a computer. ASUS support is absolutely useless. DO NOT BUY A MONITOR FROM ASUS!!! It is so frustrating to have a product under warranty and then get the runaround by a company like ASUS. Online support and telephone support took hours and hours of time simply to get a ticket number to repair.
