Loving the videos just subscribed, you explain things really clearly. I was wondering what would be the best monitor for the normal PS4 as I don't game on PC.
Thank you! Well I suggest getting something that’s 120 or 144Hz to future proof for PS5 since you can’t take advantage of that on a PS4. I’m not sure if you can do 120 on PS4 though.
@@BijanJamshidi OK yeah I get that. If I were to get this one say to use it for PC in the future, would it still work alright my PS4 or would it not play well, it would just sync up to the ps4s 60hz right?
@@rudenutt Correct. Any monitor will work up to it's max specified refresh rate. So even if you plug it into something that's not capable of running at that refresh rate, the monitor just won't run faster than the output device can.
Friends, please tell me how to put 1ms of response on it? Is this overdrive or when you overclock hertz, overclocking and response? I didn't quite understand) Thanks everyone in advance)
Just bought this monitor. I was a monitor noob and previously got an Asus TN 144hz monitor. This was such a big improvement! IPS has way better colours and viewing angles.

Main question ive been told that the display cable for this is not very good ? would you suggest me to buy a better one or just stick with what comes with it ? This is my first ever monitor purchase
Thanks for the review! But, which one will u choose, vg259qm $360 or xl2546 (without S or k) $460. Im currently using msi mag241c 144hz but at fastest response rate, its too dark for me. The xl254k is $680 on my place .
hey @bijan jamshidi. I have this monitor but for some reason when I click the menu button at the back of the monitor, half of the options like "game visual" are blacked out. I am unable to select it. It's like its stuck in "racing mode" any advice on how to fix this?
hey i have a question and hope you might be able to help me out. I don't know if i should get the 258 with a TN panel or the 259 with IPS. I'm a gamer so I'm usually leaning towards the TN with 0.5ms response time. But most ppl say (i think you said that aswell) since IPS got so much better with 1ms it's not worth it to get the TN. What do you think?
I really like to see an honest reviewer who does post corrections afterwards even if no mistakes were caught before uploading. Also, I like your style, have an extra like and subscriber on me!
I have this monitor and a pg258q my 280hz gets pretty blurry for games and I'm def getting 280 frames. I looked at tft review for 27" and they said optimal for less amount of lag was optimal at 80 so I went off of that. Do you think putting od on 40 it would reduce the ghosting or overshoot?
Question... This monitor or xl2546k for fps games? I like the way of switching profiles on the zowie... I now have a 144hz tn panel... I need a upgraded 😉
Hey Bijan, a recent version of this monitor just released (VG259QMY). Do you know the differences between this one and the new one. I couldn’t find anything on their website, thanks.
I've been doing a lot of searching online about this but there isn't a true consensus... I'm about to get this monitor, upgrading from an Acer GN246HL. I have a 3700x and GTX 1070. Would it make sense to take advantage of the G-SYNC when my fps is between the range 48-240 since input delay doesn't matter as much? (Meaning, single-player/MMORPGS at high/max settings) and turn off G-SYNC when I play 'competitive' games like MOBAS/FPS to prioritize minimizing input delay? Cheers
Exactly as you stated is correct. If you're playing something like Siege or CSGO and running over 240FPS constantly, screen tearing will be very unnoticeable compared to a game running at a lower FPS, so G-Sync being on won't even matter when running games at 240+ and would be best off to eliminate all that unneeded input lag, though it is very minimal impact when on.
Great video again! Would have loved to see a calibration guide or your settings to get the best display settings possible on the monitor tho! Otherwise keep it up!
Thank you! Unfortunately it's not usually the best idea since every panel won't perform the same and if I gave my .ICC profile, it could either make the display slightly better, or worse. But not as good as what I got.
Hello man I want to ask you that there is also TN panel of that monitor and you review just fast IPS panel. So, what is your opinion between TN (VG258QM) panel and fast IPS panel. I do not wanna see bad colors or dull and lifeless screen but also looking competitive game advantage because I’m playing R6. Therefore what is your advise?
Had White screen issues with my Zowie Xl2546S so went ahead and got the Asus TUF VG279QM..jumping from 240hz to 280hz. Playing COD Battle Royale, ADS rendering on snipers was better, flickering is smoother, black equaliser is better than my Zowie. Happy with my purchase, Thanks Asus.
@@elijnr if money was no object for you, go for the ROG PG279QM, 240hz 1ms 1440p..but if you don't have the budget, the more affordable Asus Tuf VG279QM is good enough 👌
HI Bijan, can i use full 280hz with 1ms? I read on teclab this monitor only works até 1ms with ELMB ON, and i couldn't use 280 hz and active ELMB at the same time, cuz its only works até 120hz max, is that real? I was thinking about this monitor, but i need 280hz and 1ms. The site told hes 4ms unless ELMB is on
Hey man I just recently found your channel through the RUclips algorithm haha and I'm enjoying a lot of your reviews you're putting out. Thanks to you I'm really thinking of buying this monitor I was wondering if there's any difference between the 24 inch and the 27 inch. Unfortunately the 24 inch is all sold out. Should I just go for the 27 inch? You earned yourself a new subscriber man! Keep it up!
I’m not sure if the 27 inch is the same. I did a review a long time ago on it but my testing methods for ghosting were terrible back then compared to now so I wouldn’t recommend watching that. Otherwise the monitor is identical, just bigger. But the panel might be different.
I'm on 75 Hz right now and I just ordered one of these. I'll edit this comment once it comes in and I will tell *whoever sees this* how much I like it. [edit] oh my god its amazing
Is it better than the Zowie XL2546s? Or Even the Zowie XL2546? Because im playing Valorant in a Semi pro way and I want the best monitor I could have. Thanks :)
love your review, @bijan since you tested both vg 279qm and vg259qm, whats the difference in input lag and response time @280hz? whats the best OD for 280hz, most people say is at OD 80.
Great review! Had the vg279qm @ launch felt too big, and pixels were way too big. will try this one out now, ppi should be abit better also the size more suitable.
hello .. thanks for the great review. I need ur help between asus tuf vg259q and benq mobiuz ex2510 which one would u recommend ? I am going to get one of them
I got a question. You probably know that in some games you can select the refresh rate of the monitor in the settings. If you overclock it to 280hz, is it even going to show up in the game settings or the max it will be 240hz? Hope you get what I mean. ( For example in GTA V you can chose the refresh rate, between 60,144,240. Will the 280hz show up in the menu?) Cause for my 75hz monitor it doesn't show up more than 60hz in the settings in gta v
You should be able to as long as the game supports it. Most will, but some won't. CS:GO, GTA5, Valorant and such should have no issues, but a game like Escape from Tarkov is a different story where you're capped at 120Hz, which really doesn't matter since the game is so poorly optimized in the first place it's impossible to get over 120 consistently.
@@BijanJamshidi At the end of the day if a system is telling you what refresh rate it is running at, it does not mean that is the truth, why on earth would you want any more than 120 hz refresh?
I have the 27 inch version and I sit an ample distance away from it so I don't deal with dreaded (but negligible IMO) pixel density issue of large 1080p monitors. And yes this monitor is a friggin beast...I'm actually glad I sold me Zowie XL2740 for the VG279QM.
@Bijan Jamshidi I just saw your 240hz monitors comparison(good content!), since you included input lag with and without VRR in the video can you tell us if you noticed any increase in input lag with Freesync/Gsync activated in the VG259QM? Thank your and keep it up :)
Friends, please tell me how to put 1ms of response on it? Is this overdrive or when you overclock hertz, overclocking and response? I didn't quite understand) Thanks everyone in advance)
getting it to work using VG259 as the screen, but it doesn't stay and seems to have wave band problems, flickering, etc. - using HDMI but flickers or goes out all together. Thoughts?

Benq Zowie XL2546K vs ASUS TUF VG259QM, I can't decide which one to get? The Zowie seems nice but the Asus is a lot cheaper, is the Zowie much better for it's price or is the Asus better for the price/performance, when we talk about CSGO and that the Asus can do 280Hz?
Ok so question, G-sync compatible means that it’s technically speaking a freesync monitor correct? Because nvidia released drivers so G-sync would work on freesync monitors. So if i’m running amd will I have freesync?
got this monitor, for me it was easier to notice the difference between 240 and 270/280 than 144 and 240 (felt the same but less choppy / same blur) where as 270-280 felt smoother and less blur
Bijan, help please! I am using this VG259QM right now. I don't have any motion blur on ufotest website, but in desktop, when I move my mouse faster, I see my cursor with ghosting which has 7-8x ghosting. What is the problem? Any ideas? I am using Windows 7, with all updated drivers. Maybe problem is W7? Since I can't open HDR too, I think W10 will solve problems but not sure. Did you experienced this problem when moving mouse in desktop? I think I should see my cursor one time and without ghosting, am I right?
I'm not sure. I recommend posting a video and sending me a link through my instagram or twitter so I can see that you sent me something and I'll see if I can figure it out.
@@BijanJamshidi Basically this, www.technopat.net/sosyal/eklenti/iata-jpg.468655/ not from my screen but it is same problem. at 280hz, no matter slow or fast, i see these ghosting. but in ufotest website theres no ghost behind ufo. it just happens on mouse cursor and spinning windows faster
I'm thinking about upgrading from 240hz AOC VA 27 curved panel to a backlight strobing 240hz panel. Is it worth the upgrade? If so, I found the most afordable options : viewsonic xg2431 vs asus tuf vg259qm. Which one has better strobing tech/overall better monitor? I read somewhere that the veiwsonic is too dim but is more sharp. Im not sure which one to choose.
If you are low on cash purchasing another monitor at 240hz same as your current monitor would be a waste of money period. The only reason you would upgrade your current monitor is if you wanted to upgrade from your 1920x1080 native resolution to a 2k,4k resolution monitor or if you wanted to upgrade your current 240hz to a 360hz monitor for competitive gaming. I must say Curved Panel monitors do look very nice compared to a non curved monitor.
If I were to buy this, to play at 240hz, does 240hz considered as 'overclock'? Meaning that, will some of the brightness / color will change when I adjust it to 240hz ? (with / without ELMB / Adaptive sync? And does the response time 1ms across all 3 types of refresh rates? (144, 240, 280)
Hey i have a couple of question, i came from a standard 24inch benq 144hz TN panel. i upgraded to a VG27AQ 165hz IPS pannel, been playing at 1440p, but the monitor in general just doesn't feel as smooth... when i do quick flicks in game i clearly characters cloning. i'm realy think about bringing it back to the store and get this. But it's a very similar panel and i'm afraid it would do the same thing. i'm not sure what causes this effect i tried every single settings. also wondering you advertise this monitor to 1ms and then say you don't use the ELMB settings ( wich is what makes it from 4ms to 1ms no?) i've tried the ELMB on my VG27AQ, it didn't help my problem and the screen was way too dark to even enjoy gaming on it. anyway i'd realy appreciate your help!
Thanks for helping. The monitor is indeed setted to 165hz, not too sure what you mean by overdrive. I found a thread with someone getting the same fe el im having with a very similar panel www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/64mtmj/bought_an_asus_rog_swift_pg279q_having_motion/
There’s a bunch of comments there I’m reading that can help you. Lowering from 165Hz to 144Hz, lowering graphics settings to get higher FPS in game, setting a different level of overdrive, etc. try the stuff you read there. But it may be that the panel itself won’t be as good for 2 reasons. Early IPS & 144Hz. 240Hz displays usually will perform better in response time.
@@BijanJamshidi i just looked it up for overdrive it's tracefree for me, it's at 60. i have a pretty good background with FPS, played cs for 15 years, like i sais i just recently upgraded to that monitor and playing Valorant, i get 300fps. if i just move normaly in the map theres no problem, it's the fast flicking. it just doesn't feel right. i'm afraid that if i bring it back and get the 280hz, it would do the same!
I'm really trying to figure which one is better and which one to buy between these two "ASUS TUF VG259QM" or the 27" ASUS TUF Gaming VG279QM. Are the differences the size only or is there something else?
I am currently using this monitor but for whatever reason, I have a bit of grainy graphics on the games I am playing (Iron Harvest Beta, Anno 1800, and similar games to both of these, even when running "very high" graphic setting which I have lowered to medium and high just for performance) this is my first PC build and I am currently using a RX580 as a place holder until I get my RTX 2060. My Rx 580 is modestly overclocked as well. Also, the native resolution is set to the 1920x1080 with HDR turned off. Scaling is set at the recommended 100%. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so how do you correct it?
hi, question, i see that this monitor has a hdmi port of only version 1.4, and i read that 1.4 hdmi cables only can offer up to 30hz so does that mean that you cannot play games on like 75 hz? kinda confused about this
I know i am 3 years late too this party but is there anyone here whom use a TUF gaming VG259QM if so which scaling option is preferred for competitive gaming while using the VG259QM. At the monitors Native resolution of 1920x1080 Nvidia Control Panel "Adjust desktop size and position" should i set scaling mode to Aspect ratio or Display scaling? Also should i be performing scaling on "Display" or "GPU"? I have a Intel i9 14900KF paired with a Nvidia RTX 4070 TI. If anyone could please help me answer my question as soon as possible, would be highly appreciative.
I'm really torn between this vg259qm and the lg 27gn750... I used to be a pro Cs 1.6 player, now I only play csgo/valorant and poe for fun and use the pc for work. (All day) I currently have a AOC GC 31.5 qhd 144hz (I like the qhd but the monitor doesn't feel responsive and it's to big) I think the 27 inch would be a sweet spot for me but you talked so badly abou the lg that now I'm afraid... Lol... Any advice?
I’m new to the monitor game, if I’m connecting my Xbox to the asus monitor what other cable is better to use other than hdmi and what difference does it make for gaming?

But, which one will u choose, vg259qm $360 or xl2546 (without S or k) $460.
Im currently using msi mag241c 144hz but at fastest response rate, its too dark for me.
The xl254k is $680 on my place .
Great review, I have this monitor, couldn't agree more!
@Tomer Rubin Hey, just want to ask if your monitor refresh rate also changes when playing? Cheers!
@@ecoins908 what do you mean? I know the refresh changes depends on my fps in game, maybe because of the g-sync.
bro it would be really nice if you can answer my question. ist 24 inch too small or do you think that is enough
@@skibidifun4all In my opinion, 24 inches is the sweet spot for gaming, more than that and you would have to move ur head to see ur full screen.
@Tomer Rubin r there a lot dead pixels?
hey @bijan jamshidi. I have this monitor but for some reason when I click the menu button at the back of the monitor, half of the options like "game visual" are blacked out. I am unable to select it. It's like its stuck in "racing mode" any advice on how to fix this?
Thanks for the review, nice touch on all the details!
Thank you!
hey i have a question and hope you might be able to help me out. I don't know if i should get the 258 with a TN panel or the 259 with IPS. I'm a gamer so I'm usually leaning towards the TN with 0.5ms response time. But most ppl say (i think you said that aswell) since IPS got so much better with 1ms it's not worth it to get the TN. What do you think?
I really like to see an honest reviewer who does post corrections afterwards even if no mistakes were caught before uploading. Also, I like your style, have an extra like and subscriber on me!
Hi! Is it 1ms if I use the ELMB? because when I use it the Overdrive is gray and I cant use it.
oef! that ufo image made me trippy.
I have this monitor and a pg258q my 280hz gets pretty blurry for games and I'm def getting 280 frames. I looked at tft review for 27" and they said optimal for less amount of lag was optimal at 80 so I went off of that. Do you think putting od on 40 it would reduce the ghosting or overshoot?
At 20, 40 or 60, that seems to give best results. At 80 there’s some overshoot. It you don’t mind it, that’s fine.
this guy knows how to review
Question... This monitor or xl2546k for fps games? I like the way of switching profiles on the zowie... I now have a 144hz tn panel... I need a upgraded 😉
My screen is 13 years old, 60Hz i cant wait wait to get this 😂 thanks for the review!
Hey Bijan, a recent version of this monitor just released (VG259QMY). Do you know the differences between this one and the new one. I couldn’t find anything on their website, thanks.
Didn’t even know about it until you mentioned something.
I just looked at the specs. Looks identical. May be a newer model year but the exact same monitor? No clue.
Bijan Jamshidi I actually called them and even the guy couldn’t find any differences... It’s available to purchase on bestbuy for 320.
I'm watching this with this monitor. its soo good. nice that i finally switched from 144hz to higher rates
Do you use 280 or 240 on that monitor, is it good? im looking to get it
@@Champion7581 280hz
what rate are you using with it looking good?
I've been doing a lot of searching online about this but there isn't a true consensus... I'm about to get this monitor, upgrading from an Acer GN246HL. I have a 3700x and GTX 1070. Would it make sense to take advantage of the G-SYNC when my fps is between the range 48-240 since input delay doesn't matter as much? (Meaning, single-player/MMORPGS at high/max settings) and turn off G-SYNC when I play 'competitive' games like MOBAS/FPS to prioritize minimizing input delay? Cheers
Exactly as you stated is correct. If you're playing something like Siege or CSGO and running over 240FPS constantly, screen tearing will be very unnoticeable compared to a game running at a lower FPS, so G-Sync being on won't even matter when running games at 240+ and would be best off to eliminate all that unneeded input lag, though it is very minimal impact when on.
Great video again! Would have loved to see a calibration guide or your settings to get the best display settings possible on the monitor tho! Otherwise keep it up!
Thank you! Unfortunately it's not usually the best idea since every panel won't perform the same and if I gave my .ICC profile, it could either make the display slightly better, or worse. But not as good as what I got.
Bijan Jamshidi aah good point!
Hello man
I want to ask you that there is also TN panel of that monitor and you review just fast IPS panel. So, what is your opinion between TN (VG258QM) panel and fast IPS panel. I do not wanna see bad colors or dull and lifeless screen but also looking competitive game advantage because I’m playing R6. Therefore what is your advise?
Had White screen issues with my Zowie Xl2546S so went ahead and got the Asus TUF VG279QM..jumping from 240hz to 280hz. Playing COD Battle Royale, ADS rendering on snipers was better, flickering is smoother, black equaliser is better than my Zowie. Happy with my purchase, Thanks Asus.
i got vg279qm some months ago.. i was dissapointed because i think zowie is better.. but after i see your comment, im relieved
Im looking at 3 monitors right now. Need help with deciding

HI Bijan, can i use full 280hz with 1ms? I read on teclab this monitor only works até 1ms with ELMB ON, and i couldn't use 280 hz and active ELMB at the same time, cuz its only works até 120hz max, is that real? I was thinking about this monitor, but i need 280hz and 1ms. The site told hes 4ms unless ELMB is on
Hey man I just recently found your channel through the RUclips algorithm haha and I'm enjoying a lot of your reviews you're putting out. Thanks to you I'm really thinking of buying this monitor I was wondering if there's any difference between the 24 inch and the 27 inch. Unfortunately the 24 inch is all sold out. Should I just go for the 27 inch? You earned yourself a new subscriber man! Keep it up!
I’m not sure if the 27 inch is the same. I did a review a long time ago on it but my testing methods for ghosting were terrible back then compared to now so I wouldn’t recommend watching that. Otherwise the monitor is identical, just bigger. But the panel might be different.
I bought the 27 inch and came from 24 inch 240hz and it is really good
thx bro i don't know what to buy VG259QM or XL2546K what is the best for colors and for games please answer me
I'm on 75 Hz right now and I just ordered one of these. I'll edit this comment once it comes in and I will tell *whoever sees this* how much I like it.

I am also playing on an Acer 75hz monitor and finally built a pc. Ordered one of these today I'm excited.

love your review, @bijan since you tested both vg 279qm and vg259qm, whats the difference in input lag and response time @280hz? whats the best OD for 280hz, most people say is at OD 80.
Great review!
Had the vg279qm @ launch felt too big, and pixels were way too big. will try this one out now, ppi should be abit better also the size more suitable.
Did you change it?
i agree, i have the vg279qm qisda panel and i also think that the ppi is not the best...Its ok though. For gaming and movies i cant complain.
hello .. thanks for the great review. I need ur help between asus tuf vg259q and benq mobiuz ex2510 which one would u recommend ? I am going to get one of them
I got a question. You probably know that in some games you can select the refresh rate of the monitor in the settings. If you overclock it to 280hz, is it even going to show up in the game settings or the max it will be 240hz? Hope you get what I mean. ( For example in GTA V you can chose the refresh rate, between 60,144,240. Will the 280hz show up in the menu?) Cause for my 75hz monitor it doesn't show up more than 60hz in the settings in gta v
You should be able to as long as the game supports it. Most will, but some won't. CS:GO, GTA5, Valorant and such should have no issues, but a game like Escape from Tarkov is a different story where you're capped at 120Hz, which really doesn't matter since the game is so poorly optimized in the first place it's impossible to get over 120 consistently.
@@BijanJamshidi At the end of the day if a system is telling you what refresh rate it is running at, it does not mean that is the truth, why on earth would you want any more than 120 hz refresh?
@@tyronenelson9124 if you are fps player it have alot advance
hey, which one is better for better gaming performance, this one or the vg258qm tn panel and 0.5 response time ?
I have the 27 inch version and I sit an ample distance away from it so I don't deal with dreaded (but negligible IMO) pixel density issue of large 1080p monitors. And yes this monitor is a friggin beast...I'm actually glad I sold me Zowie XL2740 for the VG279QM.
Wud u recommend the 24 inch version or your 27 inch for 80 dollars more?
24 or 27
@@MominShahzad guess it depends on if you cringe at the pixel density at 27 inche vs the 24 inch. I'm happy with my 27 tho
How is the monitor holding? I am thinking to buy it this week!
@@jerinsarmin9905 if you’re still liking 1080P gaming you can’t really go wrong👍🏼
@Bijan Jamshidi I just saw your 240hz monitors comparison(good content!), since you included input lag with and without VRR in the video can you tell us if you noticed any increase in input lag with Freesync/Gsync activated in the VG259QM? Thank your and keep it up :)
No sir! With such a small increase on input lag for VRR on vs off, no noticeable difference. Thank you!
That carwow ending though. Lol!
🤣🤣🤣 I wanted to do it. I have no clue if I’m allowed to but I’ll ask and see how it goes for future videos lmao

Benq Zowie XL2546K vs ASUS TUF VG259QM, I can't decide which one to get?
The Zowie seems nice but the Asus is a lot cheaper, is the Zowie much better for it's price or is the Asus better for the price/performance, when we talk about CSGO and that the Asus can do 280Hz?
This monitor is 300 dollars rn 🤯
Yeah, I'm gonna buy it next month. Can't wait to play my games at 280fps (max)
Ok so question, G-sync compatible means that it’s technically speaking a freesync monitor correct? Because nvidia released drivers so G-sync would work on freesync monitors. So if i’m running amd will I have freesync?
Yes you will have.
280hz? Wow!!
Lul
Heard that the color default calibration wasn’t good, is it true ?
got this monitor, for me it was easier to notice the difference between 240 and 270/280 than 144 and 240 (felt the same but less choppy / same blur)
where as 270-280 felt smoother and less blur
Does it have built in speakers??
@@ultrexzy Yes it does but it doesn’t sound good.

Bijan, help please! I am using this VG259QM right now. I don't have any motion blur on ufotest website, but in desktop, when I move my mouse faster, I see my cursor with ghosting which has 7-8x ghosting. What is the problem? Any ideas? I am using Windows 7, with all updated drivers. Maybe problem is W7? Since I can't open HDR too, I think W10 will solve problems but not sure. Did you experienced this problem when moving mouse in desktop? I think I should see my cursor one time and without ghosting, am I right?
I'm not sure. I recommend posting a video and sending me a link through my instagram or twitter so I can see that you sent me something and I'll see if I can figure it out.
@@BijanJamshidi Basically this, www.technopat.net/sosyal/eklenti/iata-jpg.468655/ not from my screen but it is same problem. at 280hz, no matter slow or fast, i see these ghosting. but in ufotest website theres no ghost behind ufo. it just happens on mouse cursor and spinning windows faster
If have a 120hz freesync monitor and a good nvidia gpu like the gtx 980ti would that be bad if i only intent to play 120 locked? Will i get problems?
So I am thinking between this one and the BenQ ex2510 Mobiuz, which one would you recommend better ?
what do you think about the LG 27'' 27GN750-B UltraGear? im currently looking to upgrade my monitor to match my RTX 3080.
I'm thinking about upgrading from 240hz AOC VA 27 curved panel to a backlight strobing 240hz panel. Is it worth the upgrade?
If so, I found the most afordable options : viewsonic xg2431 vs asus tuf vg259qm.
Which one has better strobing tech/overall better monitor? I read somewhere that the veiwsonic is too dim but is more sharp. Im not sure which one to choose.
If you are low on cash purchasing another monitor at 240hz same as your current monitor would be a waste of money period.
The only reason you would upgrade your current monitor is if you wanted to upgrade from your 1920x1080 native resolution to a 2k,4k resolution monitor or if you wanted to upgrade your current 240hz to a 360hz monitor for competitive gaming.
I must say Curved Panel monitors do look very nice compared to a non curved monitor.
Will there be screen tearing if I use an amd 6600 xt graphics card. It says gsync compatible so idk if it’ll work.
Hey Bijan. I am debating between this monitor and the BenQ xl2546k for playing warzone
Thoughts?
If I were to buy this, to play at 240hz, does 240hz considered as 'overclock'? Meaning that, will some of the brightness / color will change when I adjust it to 240hz ? (with / without ELMB / Adaptive sync? And does the response time 1ms across all 3 types of refresh rates? (144, 240, 280)
Input lag increases with lower Hz. 60 Hz is terrible...
@@bravium It's not about the fps bro. Just set your monitor hz to maximum and everything is fine.
would you recommend ips monitor or tn monitor ? can't choose between this asus tuf and asus rog swift pg258q (this one is tn )
Hey i have a couple of question, i came from a standard 24inch benq 144hz TN panel. i upgraded to a VG27AQ 165hz IPS pannel, been playing at 1440p, but the monitor in general just doesn't feel as smooth... when i do quick flicks in game i clearly characters cloning. i'm realy think about bringing it back to the store and get this. But it's a very similar panel and i'm afraid it would do the same thing. i'm not sure what causes this effect i tried every single settings. also wondering you advertise this monitor to 1ms and then say you don't use the ELMB settings ( wich is what makes it from 4ms to 1ms no?) i've tried the ELMB on my VG27AQ, it didn't help my problem and the screen was way too dark to even enjoy gaming on it. anyway i'd realy appreciate your help!
Did you set the monitor to 165Hz? What cable are you using? What overdrive setting if the monitor has one?
Thanks for helping. The monitor is indeed setted to 165hz, not too sure what you mean by overdrive. I found a thread with someone getting the same fe el im having with a very similar panel www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/64mtmj/bought_an_asus_rog_swift_pg279q_having_motion/
There’s a bunch of comments there I’m reading that can help you. Lowering from 165Hz to 144Hz, lowering graphics settings to get higher FPS in game, setting a different level of overdrive, etc. try the stuff you read there. But it may be that the panel itself won’t be as good for 2 reasons. Early IPS & 144Hz. 240Hz displays usually will perform better in response time.
@@BijanJamshidi i just looked it up for overdrive it's tracefree for me, it's at 60. i have a pretty good background with FPS, played cs for 15 years, like i sais i just recently upgraded to that monitor and playing Valorant, i get 300fps. if i just move normaly in the map theres no problem, it's the fast flicking. it just doesn't feel right. i'm afraid that if i bring it back and get the 280hz, it would do the same!
and what do you mean by early IPS and 144hz? it's 165hz and it's a new model from Asus

I am currently using this monitor but for whatever reason, I have a bit of grainy graphics on the games I am playing (Iron Harvest Beta, Anno 1800, and similar games to both of these, even when running "very high" graphic setting which I have lowered to medium and high just for performance) this is my first PC build and I am currently using a RX580 as a place holder until I get my RTX 2060. My Rx 580 is modestly overclocked as well. Also, the native resolution is set to the 1920x1080 with HDR turned off. Scaling is set at the recommended 100%. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so how do you correct it?
hi, question, i see that this monitor has a hdmi port of only version 1.4, and i read that 1.4 hdmi cables only can offer up to 30hz so does that mean that you cannot play games on like 75 hz? kinda confused about this
you have to use display port to be able to use 240hz
Can i get 280hz using displayport - usb type c cable? Or i have to use displayport - displayport cable?
Will this monitor be compatible with the Xbox series x at 1080p 120hz? And in 1ms mode will there be any ghosting or overshoot?
I know i am 3 years late too this party but is there anyone here whom use a TUF gaming VG259QM if so which scaling option is preferred for competitive gaming while using the VG259QM. At the monitors Native resolution of 1920x1080 Nvidia Control Panel "Adjust desktop size and position" should i set scaling mode to Aspect ratio or Display scaling? Also should i be performing scaling on "Display" or "GPU"?
I have a Intel i9 14900KF paired with a Nvidia RTX 4070 TI.
If anyone could please help me answer my question as soon as possible, would be highly appreciative.
I'm really torn between this vg259qm and the lg 27gn750... I used to be a pro Cs 1.6 player, now I only play csgo/valorant and poe for fun and use the pc for work.
