ASUSVG248QG 24" G-SYNC Gaming Monitor 165Hz 1080p 0.5ms Eye Care with DP HDMI DVI,Black

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.

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.

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.

Even in today's day, this monitor is still a beast. If your not looking for an OLED monitor, this is probably the best alternative.Everything is very well done with this. Easy to configure and it comes with all the cables you'll need to get up and running with your desired format (HDMI, DISPLAYPORT).Different color profiles to get you started and they can be further tweaked with the monitors controls.I got this as part of Prime Day and it was a steal. It puts my old monitor to shame. Ultra clear visuals. Supports up to 165hz refresh, which is ridiculous but the option is there.I cannot stress how much you will love this monitor. Worth every penny.If you plan on mounting this monitor to a stand (especially a tension arm of some sort) then make sure the mount can support up to 20lbs. This monitor required me to purchase a new stand (one up to 44lbs) because previous one could not hold the weight.

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. ;)

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.

After changing from a 2k monitor to a 4k monitor I finally realized I'm not shortsighted I just need a better screen. Anyways it's a good monitor and I really like it. Don't turn on the ASCR in the settings otherwise the brightness with change automatically according to the content displaying on the screen.
