ASUSTUF Gaming 24” (23.8” viewable) 1080P Monitor (VG249QL3A) - Full HD, 180Hz, 1ms, Fast IPS, ELMB, FreeSync Premium, G-SYNC Compatible, Speakers, DisplayPort, Height Adjustable, 3 Year Warranty

The ASUS VG248QG is a solid 24" monitor that's perfect for gamers and multitaskers alike. The 165Hz refresh rate is buttery-smooth, and the 0.5ms response time makes fast-paced gameplay incredibly responsive. It’s truly plug-and-play, which makes it an awesome choice for anyone setting up their first gaming rig or dual-use workstation.Build quality feels sturdy, and the widescreen display with G-SYNC compatibility performs great out of the box. Picture clarity is excellent for a 1080p monitor in this price range.That said, color accuracy can be hit or miss depending on your expectations. Some users love the vibrant display, but others may find the colors slightly off and the brightness a bit harsh, especially in dim environments. If color precision is critical (e.g., for photo editing), you might need to tweak the settings or consider calibration.Overall, this monitor delivers fantastic performance and value for the price — especially if your main focus is smooth, responsive gameplay.

This monitor is fantastic. Crisp images. Gorgeous color. Huge! I play Skyrim, Rising World, and Minecraft among other games on it. When I type on it or browse the internet I have to shrink the window I'm using as it's too hard to read. I would definitely buy again. It was a great price, too!! It also moves up and down and swivels. It's exactly what I wanted.

Purchased on: April 19, 2021 and reviewed as of January 17, 2023.I tend to look at Asus more favorably because of my good experience with the brand so I ended up buying this monitor after reading Rtings' review on this model. (if you are interested in a very technical and more in depth review, I would suggest to look them up)The quality it offers for the price is great. I didn't have any issues with dead pixels, packaging was great and it arrived in good condition, the color profile looks great and very accurate (although I don't have the measuring tools to make this claim from a creative standpoint). The VESA mounting screw holes are well positioned in a way that you should be able to use any VESA plate. (this is important to consider as other models, like my other monitor, which has a square hole for the entire plate and it is a little to small to fit most VESA mounts despite having accurate screw holes)For general media consumption and gaming, this is an incredible monitor. In general, I would say I could never go back to using a standard widescreen for a PC. Ultrawide is a massive upgrade with the extra screen size. The resolution this monitor offers is great too as the text looks clean and it isn't as resource taxing as a 4K monitor would be. I would say this monitor is a great entry point for anyone considering an ultrawide screen. Black uniformity looks good in my opinion despite the lack of any dimming zones.Another great feature that it has is the 4 USB hub right underneath (USB 3.2 type A). Although I wouldn't use it for a keyboard and mouse if you are a serious gamer, it is very useful for other things such as charging your devices, plugging in an RGB strip so you can use it as a backlight, external storage or any other accessories or USB drives. (In addition to those, it has 2 Display ports, 2 HDMI 2.0 ports and a 3.5 headphone jack)On the other hand, there are a few things to keep in mind. You will not be able to use 10bit colors with the 165hz this monitor supports at the same time. If you go for 165hz, you will be limited to 8bit colors. However, if you are okay with 144hz, you can enable the full 10bit colors range.Another thing often criticized about this monitor is the slight smearing sometimes appearing in dark scenes where you might see the trails of a red/greenish pixels turning as a brighter object moves. This can be somewhat mitigated with overdrive settings. Unfortunately, this is more of a VA panel common issue than anything else and your best option if you really can't stand it is to go for an IPS or OLED panel at much higher cost.Overall, I would say this is a good quality product and I would highly recommend it. I can't speak much about the stand as I use a monitor arm and, I would suggest everyone to use one as well due to the flexibility and movement it offers on top of making your setup much cleaner.

I've had the monitor for about 3 years now, it's been packed and moved plenty of times and it's always kept great quality and good features. It is definitely worth the price and it's a good basic monitor that comes with a lot of bonuses especially for gamers. If you're not looking for a good solid and reliable monitor this should be the one.

An otherwise excellent monitor is plagued by bad heat dissipation. Even in "Eco" mode, this heats up enough to warm a small room by a degree or two. Plus, not crazy about the control arrangement on the back. That cost this bad boy a star.The picture sure is nice. The build quality is typical ASUS. It delivers on the 165hz refresh on the DP input at 3440x1440, no dead pixels, sharp as heck and has plenty of adjustment capability. Does the VSync trick with the appropriate cards. Does HDR. All that's as advertised, and it's a bargain at the <$300 it generally goes for. I got it for $285, and I don't regret it.But it'll factor into my heating fuel bill this winter. ;)

Love this monitor. Colors look very nice and the 4k high refresh is amazing for the price. This is probably the best 4k gaming monitor for the money you can get.

The Asus monitor is extremely durable and of great quality. Its size isn't too large, nor is it too small to see. It functions well, and the 165 refresh rate is ideal for gaming. The thickness is not bad, but it could be better. I've used this computer for 3 years, after switching to a 240hz monitor, but I'd say the screen's quality and color are better than my 240hz monitor. It's an extremely reliable monitor for anyone who is looking to purchase one. In addition, the adjustment capability allows you to rotate it, and adjust its height and angle. Allowing for multiple different setups to fit anyone's needs.
