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

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

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.

Good

poor picture quality with obvious sharpness issues. not worth the price imo. more like a $150 monitor.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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