    5.0 out of 5 stars Go For Broke
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2024
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good gaming monitor with some downsides but at an excellent price.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2023
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding piece of technology.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2024
    Coming from an Acer 27" FHD 75hz from almost 10 years old, this is a breathtaking change. Color, picture, smoothness, refresh rate, resolution are incredible in this monitor. The vertical stand is quite bulky and therefore it keeps the monitor in place without any issue. You can adjust height and tilt (vertical and horizontal). This is a must if you don't want or can't go for an OLED panel. I don't have experience with the latest but it'll take me years before I even think to change this monitor now!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Gaming Monitors for an Immersive Experience!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023
    I upgraded my gaming setup by purchasing two ASUS TUF Gaming 23.8" 1080P Monitors (VG249Q1R), and I am thrilled with the results! These monitors have proven to be exceptional replacements for my old ones, enhancing my gaming experience to a whole new level.
    First and foremost, the visual quality of these monitors is outstanding. The Full HD resolution and IPS panel deliver stunningly sharp and vibrant images, making every game come to life with rich colors and remarkable detail. The 165Hz refresh rate (supports 144Hz) ensures smooth and fluid motion, eliminating any blur or stuttering during fast-paced gaming sessions.
    The 1ms response time is a game-changer, providing instant and precise responsiveness to my actions. Whether engaging in intense battles or navigating through complex environments, the ASUS TUF Gaming monitors to keep up with my every move, allowing for quick and accurate reactions.
    The Extreme Low Motion Blur feature, further enhances the visual experience by reducing motion blur, resulting in crystal-clear and highly immersive gameplay. I can now enjoy fast-paced action without any distracting ghosting effects.
    I appreciate the inclusion of built-in speakers, as they provide decent audio quality for casual gaming and general multimedia use. While dedicated gaming headsets are still ideal for immersive sound, the speakers offer a convenient option for those quick gaming sessions.
    The FreeSync™ Premium technology is valuable, synchronizing the monitor's refresh rate with the graphics card's output, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering for a seamless visual experience.
    ASUS's Shadow Boost technology deserves special mention, as it enhances the visibility of dark scenes without overexposing bright areas. This feature proves particularly useful in games where spotting enemies hiding in shadows can make all the difference.
    Mounting the monitors was a breeze, thanks to their VESA compatibility, allowing easy integration into my preferred setup.
    I highly recommend the ASUS TUF Gaming 23.8" 1080P Monitors (VG249Q1R) to anyone seeking an exceptional gaming experience. These monitors combine stunning visuals, fast response times, immersive features like Extreme Low Motion Blur and Shadow Boost, and convenient connectivity options through DisplayPort and HDMI. Gaming has never been more enjoyable with these monitors, and I'm delighted with my purchase!
