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!

Very good monitor my son loves it

I followed a setup guide on reddit; very few settings to change.

We have had this nearly 11months, and so far it is doing well. I like the fact that we can reduce the blue light and it is large and clear enough for us. But to be honest, we are not gamers; I bought it because of the reviews and a few other features, and I didnt want a camera in my monitor since if we need that we can use a laptop.

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.

Good

The monitor is good enough but I thought it had the new ELMB Sync feature for freesync and backlight strobing at the same time but it doesnt.

Nice FPS screen

For the money I think this is a good monitor. My one qualm with it is that the black level isnt great, which I suppose to be expected from most IPS panels. The colors and motion on the other hand are quite good!

I absolutely love this monitor. I chose this for a low-end gaming build just to fall in love with it and now I would like to purchase 2 more just for my mounted 3 screen gaming setup!
