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

High hz and low price with an above average picture quality compared to other monitors this price range made me pick this one up. No complaints here. 5/5

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.

but after I tried it diffidently worth buying it. ty ASUS no deadpixles no screen tearing I love it UPDATE: after two years I wont recommned it just buy another monitor with better colros picking washed up monitor colors just sad ppl are so obssesed with 1ms which never happen to be accurate ,

I am missing screws no where in the description did it say I was getting a used second hand piece of junk

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.

Very good for FPS games or Minecraft, I thought I scratched it once, but it healed itself in a few hours. Very high quality and crystal clear gameplay.

I havent tweaked anything yet but out of the box this monitor looks great. I love how the mount works.

The moniter base did not come.

FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO READ: -Fantastic color range (in racing mode) -Fantastic viewing angles -Sleek design -Overall great monitor Now to the nitty-gritty: This monitor is super stylish. Despite it only being a 24” panel, it looks massive due to the lack of bezels. With that being said though, I am coming from an ASUS VG248QE monitor, which the bezels are very big on that. It has a fantastic range of color, I found that putting it in “racing” mode is the most color accurate. Only other setting I changed was bumping the blue from 100 to 99. Fantastic viewing angles, and blacks definitely look as black as they can get without using an OLED panel. My only complaint was a tiny scratch/indent on the bottom bezel. With that being said though, the scratch kinda looks like an M so my pea brain thinks it’s kinda cool. Either way, I can’t see it past my microphone so I guess it doesn’t matter.

Good features, good panel, good quality control. Pretty satisfying buy.
