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.

A-lot of people tend to push this monitor aside for other monitor forms and as such this doesnt gain much attention. However, this monitor has been great over the half year and I dont intend on changing it anytime soon. The quality is great, the brightness is amazing, and its amazing for gaming with its 144 hertz.

Weve bought these three times and my kids love them! They are one of the better monitors for the price. We tried others, but returned them and got another of this exact monitor. If youre gaming on a budget, this is your monitor.

The quality was really good and what expected. The only thing I noticed was this single red pixel. I don’t think it was dead pixel because it wasn’t white. It’s not noticeable unless you really look at it, but I am overall really happy with the monitor

Monitor has good, highly adjustable stand. Had 1 dead pixel in corner. Only problem is monitor settings are stuck through seven gamevisual presets with limited customizability. If u can turn that off somehow, then its great.

Ill come back after a couple of months of use but so far, this is a very good monitor! These are my initial impressions. Lets start with the main reason I bought this: IPS monitor at 144hz combined with ASUS ELMB (extreme low motion blur) has been a fantastic experience. The technology to be able to combine a high refresh rate and a low motion blur is fairly knew so I imagine there are people out there that do not know it exists. For those people, let me say, that it is very nice to play with. I know there are monitors out there that are better and do the same, but I am talking based off of this being valued at a lower price which to me, is extremely awesome to have such a lowly cost monitor that provides such premium features. The ASCR mode (dynamic contrast) paired with ELMB made my gaming experience coming from a TN panel much better. The colors are more vibrant, I get nearly the same response time as my TN panel does, and I have not noticed any input lag while playing so far. No dead pixels out of the box and no flickering although I will say, if you are experiencing flickering on your above 60hz refresh rate monitor, I would recommend investing in a more expensive display port cable because sometimes companies will not tell you that the display port cable wont support anything above 60hz and as a result you may think your monitor is going bad due to the flickering! **THIS MONITOR COMES WITH A DISPLAY PORT THAT SUPPORTS 144hz!**

The high refresh rate is a joy to use. The screen looks beautiful!

I loved my monitor and will be buying a second!

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.

Havent experienced any issues with my monitor I love it!
