Me, still having a 10 year old, HD Ready monitor... I feel like the built-in speakers are the most useless thing in any recently released monitor thats above $150
@Josh Wallace my aoc 24g2 is the version with extra speakers and a usb hub... didnt cost more. it is an okay extra, yeah the speakers are shit, but they are an extra
built in speakers are something I appreciate, since I always use headphones and don't want a set of speakers cluttering things. So when occasionally I want my wife or kids to be able to hear, flipping to some shitty monitor speaker is perfect. The actual useless feature is probably the extra 40hz, given the already small to non existent benefit of going from 144 to 240
I use my built in speakers all the time on my asus MG279Q. They come in handy for youtube viewing when just sitting about eating lunch or casually watching content. I'll use my headphones otherwise but the speakers are very nice to have.
I guess the speakers are there to support consoles for people who don't have a TV. It is sort of a gimmick. But to me it is a welcome one even with the crap quality.
@@fVNzO Soooo terrible though. It was one of the features I looked for when I bought my monitor and they're basically useless. Zero bass, zero treble all mids. I laughed so hard the first time I heard them.
DUDE I'M SO HAPPY!! This morning I saw your Omen HP 27" 1440p review, right as I finish and settle on buying it, it's sold out everywhere and don't feel like waiting so I settled for this one (but didn't know you review it). Picked the last one at BestBuy, came home, tested it. Now, only to see (and watch) that you did review the VG279QM and that your title boosts it. Not only do I feel good about my purchase, I can't wait to see what you can teach me about it! Yay! :D
Thats pretty much what Monitors with an actual Nvidia Gsync Module can do. They adjust the overdrive impulse based on your refresh rate. Sadly Freesync monitors do not have that kind of feature.
@@TheThunder168 its not an g sync exclusive feature. Some freesync monitors have it. Its extremely difficult to make for the vendor. Thats why going for gsync (which already has it) can be easier but ofcourse more expensive aswell.
I think that the idea behind 27" 1080p monitors, despite the pixel density concern, is that compared to 24-25" panels, you can put 27-inchers farther away from your face to produce the same effect while being more easy on the eyes for longer game sessions. I use a 27" 1080p 165Hz monitor (Asus VG278QR) and I have to say, playing for 8 or so hours straight doesn't make my eyes feel fatigued at all and I've been doing that pretty consistently since the start of quarantine here.
I agree. I have both an LG 27 inch 1080p IPS 144hz and an AOC 24G2 with 24 inch ips 1080p 144hz. I mainly use Lg 27 inch and prefer it. The pixel density does not bother me at all. Plus my gaming Pc can run games easy 1080p res.
Even 2 years later this monitor holds up extremely well. If you pause at 5:40 you can see the refresh rate compliance and overshoot is near perfect at 240hz so I use the monitor at 240hz fixed refresh rate. Even in 2023 I'd recommend buying this. I also have a 1440p 240hz samsung odyssey g7 and for games like valorant I still much prefer this monitor (the 25 inch version that is)
At 2:55 you should put a clip of you describing the monitor's flexibility on the screen while you were making the adjustments. Would be extra work, but would've caught me off-guard and imo would be humorous. Awesome vid!
I have the 24.5'' VG259QM version of this and I love it. When I first ordered it, got one dead pixel but seller replaced it very fast with no questons asked and been loving it ever since. No other issues at all. Chose it over this just because of better ppi. 😎💪🏻
1 year later... How many dead pixels you got since then if any? I saw so many people complaining about this issue. I would like to buy this one but.. It's kind of a bummer for me tho. I'm thinking about this one or alienware w2720hfa.

Upgraded to this from benq xl 144hz. Was plesently surprised by the image quality and clarity. I use ELMB in csgo and it does make things more clear. Also the much better contrast was a surprise. to my eyes 27 inch 1080p is fantastic and i can't see individual pixels from 20cm away. with 24 inch i had to put my face right in front of the monitor when playing csgo. Only thing missing is automatic monitor profiles. It would have been nice to have automatic profiles to each game.
Have y’all seen the secret OD120 option for the smaller VG259QM? Average response time of 2.6ms with the slowest at 3.4ms giving 100% of the transitions inside the overclocked refresh window of 280Hz. I recently applied this setting and it’s insane how fast and clear everything is above 280fps!

Looked everywhere but couldn't find a detailed review. Thanks for reviewing this. I feel like Asus is selling this at a discounted price to not let the viewsonic xg270 and acer nitro xv273x compete. Both of those are Ips panels at 240hz 27 inch but they're definitely not going for 400 dollars. So the extra 40 frames really becomes more of a selling point.

@@smellypooper69 it depends if your pc or console can handle those specs, you'll notice a difference between 144hz and 280hz but it won't be a huge difference like going from 60 to 120hz in my opinion.

@@astroyt7389 27" 2560x1440p 165hz. Was on 1080p 60hz since forever and decided to finally upgrade. One thing I'll say is that at first you don't really notice the difference until you go back and try a 1080p 60hz are are just like "EWWW I didn't know this was THAT bad"- could never go back. Soo smooth, crisp, and great for gaming. The resolution is nice, but the real star is that refresh rate and ELMBsync omg, you actually see the frames your graphics card is able to pump out. When it's 1080 its still super clear! I use this resolution when playing online and it's been great
@@astroyt7389 I have this VG279QM, and to be honest if u playing games/watching movies/videos on youtube its not that bad for 1080p with 27" but for other things, yeah its quite blurry for my eyes xD. I`ve been using acer predator XB271hu (1440p 27") for 4 years and just sold it because its already out of warranty and i don`t play alot of games lately and yeah 1440p on 27" way way way better xD But i can`t complain since this monitor only cost less than half of that XB271HU prices xD
Please can you review Acer Predator XB273UGS ? (Acer Predator XB3 XB273UGSbmiiprzx 27", IPS, 2x HDMI 2.0/DisplayPort 1.2/G-sync/165Hz, UM.HX0EE.S01) i need to know is it any good gysync 2k 144+hz ips monitor? please. lots of love from Croatia!
Please make a review of the Acer NITRO VG252QX 240hz IPS monitor, it looks like a really interesting budget option especially considering it's 1080p at 25". :)
hey. i dunno if you will read this. i just bought the asus vg249qm1a it should be close to the vg259qm. is this true? like the vg259qm is slightly brighter and the 10hz more when oc thats all i can find (and the vg259qm should be the smaller version of the vg279qm). the 1a at the end of the model name should just be the non adjustable stand. like there are close to zero reviews on the vg249qm1a its incredible xD and im confused if i can take the 259qm and 279qm reviews for reference. would be very nice if you can tell me the difference between the vg249qm1a and the vg259qm/vg279qm. ty in advance
ELMB @ 240/270Hz might've interesting to test, given ELMB locks the OD @ 80 and seemingly anything below 200Hz in this case has noticeable overshoot with this model, hence why I guess the 144Hz here has the inverse ghosting and crosstalk. For whatever reason, the 280Hz ELMB not much clearer than the 280Hz with OD 80/ 140HZ ELMB seems a bit clearer overall, safe for the artefacts. This makes me wonder whether 240/270Hz might've yielded a better result. Sadly, with fixed refreshes 165, 180 and 200 are not options. Unless you're using VRR + FPS Limiter or something.
@6:50 Sorry for the noob question.. Would appreciate if someone could help.. You mentioned left with 2 settings OD 80 best at higher refresh rates and OD40 at lower refresh rates. Does it mean I should turn off G sync and use OD80? I purchased this mainly for CSGO and get more than 300fps in that game (other games fps range vary of course).. What would you recommend the best settings for CSGO in terms of response time? Should i keep gsync off or on? with OD 80?
how about the asus VG35VQ? 35” ultrawide VA panel with elmb sync at 100hz. not gonna be able to afford it anytime soon at $579 but I’d like to know how it performs anyway, just in case
The main thing that bothers me about the G7 models is the 1000r curve. I can see it working well with the G9 ultrawide, but it just seems excessive for a 16:9 panel, the 32" might be better, but it's just not needed on a 27". I changed from a curved Samsung VA panel to the LG 27gl850 a while ago and I think I prefer the flat panel over the curved Samsung (the panel tech itself is hands down better, the flat vs curved thing is a bit more subjective) I'd be interested to see how it works out though, if it can genuinely compete with top end IPS panels in terms of response times then it could be quite good, my LG doesn't deal with blacks as well as my old VA Samsung did, that's about the only thing I miss.
I'm also keen to see this reviewed and compared to the 240hz ips monitors out there like Alienware AW2521HF as those two are currently what I'm tossing up against.
08:38 are you Means Ovedrive 80 and not 40? right or maybe iam not understand corectly because on your chart OD 40 have more response time ms then OD 80
I’ve been eyeing the new Alienware AW2521HF. Their new 25” 240hz IPS offering seems like a great buy and I’d like to see how it stacks up against the competition. Review coming soon?
what methodology do you use when you say it's time to full colour calibration of a monitor ? I'm thinking of going after either the asus vg259QM or the msi Mag251RX. Since i will be using it for 3D work as well, i will need good colour accuracy.
@@Hahalol875 They really are very similar maybe on paper you see tthe differences clear as day but from a subjective point of view going from 144 to 240 is like going from 100 or 120 to 144 it's noticable but barely.
@@Hahalol875obviously it's better, but it doesn't improve your aim unless you like 360 quick scoping every shot... its not worth the prices at the moment, I'd rather save for more processing power b4 going to 240hz.
Hello sir, what would you recommend me to buy between the vg259qm and xl2546k 2022? I want the best performance (Estons are the easiest monitors to get in my local market)
I dont really understand the overdrive and undershoot thing regarding the responstime. it says 1 ms GTG - but is a tn panel with 1 ms gtg(for instance xl 2546) still a better option compared to the vg279qm ?
Hey! Which one do you guys think would be a better monitor for csgo gaming when looking to get the most responsive feel and lowest possible lag? Would it be ASUS VG279QM or Samsung Odyssey G7 C27G7 27"? I'm interested to get a monitor that would be suitable for competitive play. Most likely going to run it at 240hz.
Shieftain honestly I turn my lg c8 oled on like one a week just cus I feel bad for not using it 😂 I don’t really watch tv or movies since I build my gaming setup
What would be best for competitive (fortnite) gaming, this or the Benq xl2546s with dyac+? If you have a monitor that you think is better than both of these please let me know. (I don’t really care if it’s fn or ips, speed and performance is my priority)
Have finally purchased this one after watching your ind epth review. Firstly best wishes for your channel and Lots of love! keep up the amazing job you guys are doing..
Man i hate researching monitors All those diffrent color gamut percents, diffrent response times Not knowing which are color calibrated and which arent 🤷 Would love to have a simply list: 1440p 144hz best color accuracy out of box Etc etc
@@dutchdykefinger the problem is not just pixel density but also viewing distance. You normally sit a lot further away from a TV comparing to a monitor. That's why a 27 inch 1080p monitor is not a good idea.
Hello, I could get feedback on this ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A monitor? I bought one but it had a monstrous IPS Glow, I am waiting for its return, I wonder whether to order 2 or take another monitor for the price? What do you recommend?
micro led will be the next thing and looking at more loacal dimming zones + better colours id be alright with it if we get decent Strobing options havent had good strobing since crt
Things I'd like to see in monitors: Now: - More Gsync or other scalers that offer variable overdrive - Profiles per input - VESA support on everything - Making sure all the inputs can offer full performance - USB hubs with faster USB specifications Stretch: - OLED, Mini and Micro LED - HDR, as in 1000+ HDR. At consumer price points - Better out of the box calibration for all monitors, not just pro - The ability to flash calibration to the monitor instead of the system being used (perhaps a standard can be created to facilitate this across all brands)
hello, will it work perfectly with ryzen 5 5600x + 3070 gpu? or should I really go for 1440p monitor ( ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27 inch)? to maximize my gpu? im confused what to get
Laptop displays don't use the same type of connection as an external monitor, ie HDMI, Display port, etc. This is because the laptop graphics card connects directly to the integrated display allowing for higher bandwith and therefore a larger refresh rate.
Monitor makers: Give me a freaking 2560x1080 240hz IPS display, please thank you. And go and tell Valorant and Overwatch they should allow 21:9 monitors so you can start selling 21:9 240hz monitors to everyone.
becouse freesync is AMD branding and amd hijacked it in the first place kinda becouse the tech behind it actually is VESA Adaptive-sync ofc amd has also made it work with HDMI what is a good thing.
Hello, I just bought this monitor but 25" version , when I enable the ELMB Sync I can hear a very small buzzing sound coming from the monitor, can you please check if your monitor does that?
Hi, I just recently bought vg259qm, and I would like to know if there's any disadvantage in using 280Hz overclock feature? Like, maybe less accurate color or something? Thank you in advance
There are many reviews of Asus vg279qm on the Internet, but there is not one about Acer vg252qx / xv253qx, except for Vietnamese, where I do not understand anything. Can you tested the Acer ips 240 hz model at 25 inches?

Answered your question for you. You can thank me later.
Also I'm fully aware English is not everyone's first language, that doesn't excuse not being able to use correct grammar when you can construct the rest of the comment so well.

Watching this on my
ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27, it's amazing!!
What is the resolution? And if its 1080p Is it blurry or not clear?
@@astroyt7389 27" 2560x1440p 165hz. Was on 1080p 60hz since forever and decided to finally upgrade. One thing I'll say is that at first you don't really notice the difference until you go back and try a 1080p 60hz are are just like "EWWW I didn't know this was THAT bad"- could never go back. Soo smooth, crisp, and great for gaming. The resolution is nice, but the real star is that refresh rate and ELMBsync omg, you actually see the frames your graphics card is able to pump out.
When it's 1080 its still super clear! I use this resolution when playing online and it's been great
@@indyvidual3917 thanks for that it helps alot, now I am just deciding between the:
Asus TUF Gaming vg279qm
MSI Optix mag251rx
@@astroyt7389 I have this VG279QM, and to be honest if u playing games/watching movies/videos on youtube its not that bad for 1080p with 27" but for other things, yeah its quite blurry for my eyes xD. I`ve been using acer predator XB271hu (1440p 27") for 4 years and just sold it because its already out of warranty and i don`t play alot of games lately and yeah 1440p on 27" way way way better xD But i can`t complain since this monitor only cost less than half of that XB271HU prices xD
Does this work on a Nividia geforce gtx 970 graphic card?

can you review Acer Predator XB273UGS ?

Please make a review of the Acer NITRO VG252QX 240hz IPS monitor, it looks like a really interesting budget option especially considering it's 1080p at 25". :)
hey. i dunno if you will read this. i just bought the asus vg249qm1a it should be close to the vg259qm. is this true? like the vg259qm is slightly brighter and the 10hz more when oc thats all i can find (and the vg259qm should be the smaller version of the vg279qm). the 1a at the end of the model name should just be the non adjustable stand. like there are close to zero reviews on the vg249qm1a its incredible xD and im confused if i can take the 259qm and 279qm reviews for reference. would be very nice if you can tell me the difference between the vg249qm1a and the vg259qm/vg279qm. ty in advance
ELMB @ 240/270Hz might've interesting to test, given ELMB locks the OD @ 80 and seemingly anything below 200Hz in this case has noticeable overshoot with this model, hence why I guess the 144Hz here has the inverse ghosting and crosstalk.
For whatever reason, the 280Hz ELMB not much clearer than the 280Hz with OD 80/
140HZ ELMB seems a bit clearer overall, safe for the artefacts.
This makes me wonder whether 240/270Hz might've yielded a better result.
Sadly, with fixed refreshes 165, 180 and 200 are not options. Unless you're using VRR + FPS Limiter or something.
@6:50 Sorry for the noob question.. Would appreciate if someone could help.. You mentioned left with 2 settings OD 80 best at higher refresh rates and OD40 at lower refresh rates. Does it mean I should turn off G sync and use OD80? I purchased this mainly for CSGO and get more than 300fps in that game (other games fps range vary of course).. What would you recommend the best settings for CSGO in terms of response time? Should i keep gsync off or on? with OD 80?
Same question
I would love to see a side by side comparison of the Asus VG279QM and the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546 for motion blur and features etc. Cheers!
@Hardware Unboxed should I consider the smaller version of this monitor VG259QM or the MAG251RX if I am primarily interested in CSGO/LoL?
Great review. I would love your opinion on the alienware 2521HF(L) 240hz IPS.
how about the asus VG35VQ? 35” ultrawide VA panel with elmb sync at 100hz.
not gonna be able to afford it anytime soon at $579 but I’d like to know how it performs anyway, just in case
I'm excited for the Samsung Odyssey G7 27", it's specs are great but we'll see how it reviews.
When are they coming? 🙂
The main thing that bothers me about the G7 models is the 1000r curve. I can see it working well with the G9 ultrawide, but it just seems excessive for a 16:9 panel, the 32" might be better, but it's just not needed on a 27". I changed from a curved Samsung VA panel to the LG 27gl850 a while ago and I think I prefer the flat panel over the curved Samsung (the panel tech itself is hands down better, the flat vs curved thing is a bit more subjective)
I'd be interested to see how it works out though, if it can genuinely compete with top end IPS panels in terms of response times then it could be quite good, my LG doesn't deal with blacks as well as my old VA Samsung did, that's about the only thing I miss.
@@LyK0sa Yes that is also why I went with the asus out of this Video
Does the ELMB look better at lower refresh rates? I found ULMB looks best on the Acer predator 27XU at 85hz and not 120hz be interested to know
I'd like to see a review of the BenQ XL2546S, mainly its strobing implementation.
I'm also keen to see this reviewed and compared to the 240hz ips monitors out there like Alienware AW2521HF as those two are currently what I'm tossing up against.
08:38 are you Means Ovedrive 80 and not 40? right or maybe iam not understand corectly because on your chart OD 40 have more response time ms then OD 80
I’ve been eyeing the new Alienware AW2521HF. Their new 25” 240hz IPS offering seems like a great buy and I’d like to see how it stacks up against the competition. Review coming soon?
thank youu been waiting for this

Review one of the the LG OLEDs please!
what methodology do you use when you say it's time to full colour calibration of a monitor ? I'm thinking of going after either the asus vg259QM or the msi Mag251RX. Since i will be using it for 3D work as well, i will need good colour accuracy.

@@Hahalol875 It doesn't.
@@Hahalol875 They really are very similar maybe on paper you see tthe differences clear as day but from a subjective point of view going from 144 to 240 is like going from 100 or 120 to 144 it's noticable but barely.
@@Hahalol875obviously it's better, but it doesn't improve your aim unless you like 360 quick scoping every shot... its not worth the prices at the moment, I'd rather save for more processing power b4 going to 240hz.

Hello sir, what would you recommend me to buy between the vg259qm and xl2546k 2022? I want the best performance (Estons are the easiest monitors to get in my local market)
Can you guys from Hardware Unboxed make a review of Asus VG249Q?
I dont really understand the overdrive and undershoot thing regarding the responstime. it says 1 ms GTG - but is a tn panel with 1 ms gtg(for instance xl 2546) still a better option compared to the vg279qm ?
overclock from 240hz to 280hz... that's useful.
Hey! Which one do you guys think would be a better monitor for csgo gaming when looking to get the most responsive feel and lowest possible lag? Would it be ASUS VG279QM or Samsung Odyssey G7 C27G7 27"? I'm interested to get a monitor that would be suitable for competitive play. Most likely going to run it at 240hz.
27"
1080p
Saved you several minutes of your life.
There is also a 24" version tho.
not realy i apriciate the details from the review and specs arent everything
Not a big deal as people make it out to be
27" being to big for 1080p is your typical reddit pcmr circlejerk
Could be pretty useful with a 3080 in a few months. Pure pixel count, no. DlSS 3, still appears to be a higher resolution.
@@eqxotiC I don't agree.
I sometimes think that 24" is already too wide for 1080p.
Not especially in gaming tho. Mostly text and editing.
hello, can i ask how do you "overclock" the monitor? and if it can damage it or its purely just boost. iam noob to these things. nice video anyway
Still crossing my fingers that you'll be able to review the LG CX 48" OLED TV as a monitor when it comes out.
I'm looking very forward to that one. It just might end up being THE TV for PC users.
Shieftain honestly I turn my lg c8 oled on like one a week just cus I feel bad for not using it 😂 I don’t really watch tv or movies since I build my gaming setup
@@ancientflames Just hook up your PC to the TV.

Not knowing which are color calibrated and which arent
🤷 Would love to have a simply list: 1440p 144hz best color accuracy out of box

Me too bro
1440p 144Hz = LG 850 (27')
1080p 144Hz = Aoc 24G2 (24')
I would say that's the best panels for the money
at 27" also.
Hi! Wich one is better this one or the Dell AW2521HF? Thx!!
1080p on 27'' is absolutely not a good idea, think twice before buying your monitor.
Long time user of 40" 1080p television: i don't see the problem
I use 1080 and I don’t see the problem, what’s the problem with it?
PuDDING you can't understand the problem if you haven't used 1440p before.
its personal preference mate. ive been rocking dual 27" 1080p monitors for years and theyre fine for me. have a 4k tv for dick waving in the lounge.
@@dutchdykefinger the problem is not just pixel density but also viewing distance.
You normally sit a lot further away from a TV comparing to a monitor.
That's why a 27 inch 1080p monitor is not a good idea.
Hello, I could get feedback on this ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A monitor? I bought one but it had a monstrous IPS Glow, I am waiting for its return, I wonder whether to order 2 or take another monitor for the price? What do you recommend?
Neat. *waits for oled
micro led will be the next thing and looking at more loacal dimming zones + better colours id be alright with it if we get decent
Strobing options havent had good strobing since crt
Waits for them to solve the OLED burn in issues, and color deterioration before I jump on that bandwagon.
Things I'd like to see in monitors:
Now:
- More Gsync or other scalers that offer variable overdrive
- Profiles per input
- VESA support on everything
- Making sure all the inputs can offer full performance
- USB hubs with faster USB specifications
Stretch:
- OLED, Mini and Micro LED
- HDR, as in 1000+ HDR. At consumer price points
- Better out of the box calibration for all monitors, not just pro
- The ability to flash calibration to the monitor instead of the system being used (perhaps a standard can be created to facilitate this across all brands)
Oh boy, I can't wait to pair this monitor with a 4700X on my B450 motherboard!
If ure not kidding then u missed alot
Well, I guess that B450 was a waste of money😂
Oof.
Enjoy gaming with your rx590 (rebranded 480)
hello,
will it work perfectly with ryzen 5 5600x + 3070 gpu? or should I really go for 1440p monitor ( ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27 inch)? to maximize my gpu? im confused what to get
suprised we have 300hz laptops and now finally 280hz. Any explanation guys?
Laptop displays don't use the same type of connection as an external monitor, ie HDMI, Display port, etc. This is because the laptop graphics card connects directly to the integrated display allowing for higher bandwith and therefore a larger refresh rate.
300Hz screen but then they barely keep up with 200 fps lmfao laptop and gaming in the same sentence makes me laugh
Bruno M Then you can stick with PC I guess?
I got the VG278 some years ago and it's been a fantastic monitor. Maybe I'll look at upgrading to this.
Monitor makers: Give me a freaking 2560x1080 240hz IPS display, please thank you.
And go and tell Valorant and Overwatch they should allow 21:9 monitors so you can start selling 21:9 240hz monitors to everyone.
With DisplayPort 2 you can have 3440x1440 @240hz IPS :D
I'm fine with most competitive games being stuck at 16:9.
That wouldn’t be fair to people with 16:9 because you would be getting a higher fov.
Why Valorant and Overwatch? Should be appealing to games with higher player bases.
@@rossharper1983 because are very popular games with big playerbases. And they happen to be the two that don't support 21:9 for balance reasons.
Have owned it since February. Fabulous monitor
Why can't we just call it freesync instead of letting nvidia hijack the brand?
*adaptive sync
@@_BangDroid_ *freesync
becouse freesync is AMD branding and amd hijacked it in the first place kinda becouse the tech behind it actually is VESA Adaptive-sync ofc amd has also made it work with HDMI what is a good thing.

It's not the best just based on the specs. 27" should be at 1440p.
Andrew Heavenridge thank god they offer a 24” version!
Who plays 1440p at 240hz? Why limit your customer base? That's bad business.
There is a 24" version, the VG259QM which is the same monitor I think atleast according to the specs it is and it's cheaper
1080 looks fine on 1080 for gaming, and competitive gamers don’t play 1440 because they’d rather have the additional 100 frames available....
Great job Tim, thanks
why do these review channels say “uh soose” i thought it was “aye sus” ASUS not USOOS
