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

I was looking for an IPS, 144hz, 1080p, 24 monitor for a long time, and this was the perfect choice! IPS looks insanely better than TN, but I could never find a high refresh IPS monitor for a mid range PC like my own. The only high refresh IPS monitors I could find were all 27 at 1440p, which my PC couldnt push enough frames for, or 1080p, which looks awful at 27 in my opinion. So this monitor was the perfect option. (Btw, Id stay away from the VG259Q. I tried that one first, and the colors on it were really messed up, and I saw a few other who had that problem as well. The only major difference is it being about an inch bigger, and being a bit more expensive.) The picture quality is really good too! The settings I landed on are: - Racing Mode - Brightness: 100 - Contrast: 80 - Color Temp: User Mode: R:90 G:95 B:100 - Trace Free: 100 Trace free threw me off a little bit, but thats just Asus way of saying overdrive. I suggest cranking it up to 100. At 100, I see no artifacts, and it makes the response time of the monitor feel way snappier. Given everything I said so far, I would have easily given this monitor 5 stars, but there are 2 major problems I have with it. 1. For some reason, Asus didnt include their amazing joystick controls for the OSD, and instead opted for ancient feeling row of buttons. My previous Asus monitor had the joystick, and navigating the OSD was sooo much nicer. 2. There is no aux output on the monitor, and the built in speakers dont sound that great either. Oddly enough, they did include an aux input, just in case you wanted to plug your iPod into the monitor and jam out... When using my computer, I can obviously use its aux output and run it to my speakers, but I like to play console games on the monitor sometimes too, and when doing so, I have no easy way to route the audio through to my speakers. To fix this, I bought this HDMI adapter that pulls an aux signal out, and I use that to plug into my speakers. Overall the monitor is amazing, and those couple problems arent the end of the world. Id still highly recommend it.

I won the Asus IPS panel lottery no damage whatsoever just a little back light. Leading but very minimal not even noticeable up close. It’s a great monitor and it works smoothly with an nvidia gpu during my eso and other elder scrolls gameplay. Also for steam games like holdfast and odyssey. Great picture quality just download an ICC profile and calibrate the monitor it’s easy. At first I was worried about getting this since it’s not a gsync monitor but then I looked up stuff and there’s a guy reviewing this monitor who has a rtx 2080 so it’s perfect for gaming.

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.

The quality is great

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 wanted a 144 Hz monitor because the main game I play is Call of Duty and 120 fps makes a big difference. Throughout the process of me looking into monitors, it was really annoying trying to find out if they actually could run 120 fps on the PS5. Obviously this varies game to game, but certain monitors just literally aren’t compatible for whatever reason. Can confirm that when you put the PS5 in performance mode, it will automatically enable 120 fps on games that support it. As far as the monitor itself, the IPS panel looks great for the most part and the actual build of it doesn’t feel cheap. Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a good 1080p 144 Hz monitor.

Compared to the other monitors Ive used this one is probably my favorite. My 1440p monitor didnt have as much saturation and had lower refreshrate, my other 144hz 1080p monitor was a bit large for 1080p meaning I could see some of the pixels or jagged edges and this one is just perfect. Great picture, 144hz, the right size for its resolution and has built in speakers which is nice for youtube while in bed. Might I mention, theres tons of visual customization with this baby? There is and its awesome.

This is a great gaming monitor! It truly is 144hz, has great IPS paneling, and lots of different modes to choose from. I actually liked the shadow boost setting, especially for games like Metro Exodus. It also has probably the best mount I’ve ever seen on a monitor. It’s so sturdy and has many adjustment options. I had no dead or stuck pixels first try. If you’re not looking to spend too much but still want a great monitor, this is the one for you.

Good

Everything is perfect except the stuck pixel. When out of box it has a stuck pixel in center of screen. I replaced it and now it has a dead pixel on right bottom side. I will try one more replacemnet. If it still has dead or stuck pixel. I will get refund it try other product. Everything else is good. No ghosting, elmb, 144fps so smooth and love it.
