- Good color accuracy out of the box. Didn't have to adjust much other than the obscenely high brightness that every monitor seems to come with nowadays.- ELMB is surprisingly good even though it seems to lock the overdrive. If I had to guess, it would be overdrive 60 since it's the default setting of the monitor. I had only heard bad things about ELMB from reviews on other models so I was glad to see it's at least a little bit useful here.- No grainy text or anything of that sort that plagued a couple of 24" models from the previous year.- Menu is easy to navigate and the OSD joystick is of good quality.- Really good heavy stand that can pivot, tilt, rotate, and height adjust.- The speakers are well, monitor speakers. If you've heard monitor speakers, you've mostly heard them all. Can't expect much from 2 watts. The option is there though.Also I'm not sure if this is a feature on every 240hz monitor since this is my first one but I found it interesting that Windows registered the panel as 10 bit color when below 240hz. For the people worried about 60hz performance, sorry. I don't have any equipment or the knowledge to give specific numbers. All I can say is that when I played on my PS4/Switch I didn't notice any excess input lag.All in all I highly recommend the monitor if you're on the lookout for a 240hz panel. The price ($319) is in my opinion really good when you take everything into account (IPS, 240hz, good build quality, ergonomic stand). I tried a 1440p monitor and didn't think the performance hit was worth the minuscule fidelity gain. If you're looking for a monitor you'll strictly use for gaming/browsing, I really think you're better off sticking with the tried and true 24"/1080p combo so that you can utilize higher frame rates and not have to worry about messing with Windows scaling to have easily readable text. It's also easier to utilize multi-monitor setups with smaller monitor sizes. If you need the extra real estate that 1440p/4k gives for multitasking, then probably already know what you want. Everyone has different needs.Edit: Since reviews for this model seem to have been consolidated with a bunch of other models, this is for "VG259QM". I know it should say above the review but I want to point it out here just to eliminate any possible confusion.

For a smaller desk this is a great size, I love the adjustable features of this monitor which makes it superior to others of the same size and quality. I use it for school and some gaming, but I also do have 27” 4k monitor that’s my main gaming one. Obviously the picture quality of this one is less but still looks very good especially for games like fortnite. Cod you can more so tell the difference but still completely playable and enjoyable,I think this is a great value for money and if you’re looking for a comfort ale monitor for work/school or gaming this’ll do it.

The monitor I picked is the "ASUS TUF Gaming VG279QM 27” HDR Monitor, 1080P Full HD (1920 x 1080), Fast IPS, 280Hz, G-SYNC Compatible, Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC), 1ms, DisplayHDR 400"I only had one problem with this monitor and that was the data cable that comes with the monitor (you get 1 HDMI and 1 Data Cable in box plus power cord). I had to purchase a "Infinnet DisplayPort 1.4 Cable 8K 60Hz, 4K 144Hz, 4K 120Hz, 2K 280Hz 240Hz, 1080p 360Hz DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable DP 1.4 HBR3 Cord, HDR, VESA Certified, 3 Meters (9.84 ft) Black" (that is on Amazon for $30) and this cable is so much better than the one that comes in the box (because its gold tipped and not silver like the one you get with monitor) and it actualy fits into my graphics card. Plus it makes the images and text crystal clear and not fuzzy than the original cable. It was so nice of Amazon to help pay for the costs for that new cable. Thanks Amazon!! Now to get Gsync ability you must use the data cable, not the HDMI cable. Some people complain that the resolution isn't good enough, then buy the cable I mentioned. Ever hear of downsampling? Look it up, you can simulate 4k resolution on this monitor (so you get the best of both worlds, better visual and fast hz) and will not hurt it one bit, even though they recommend not doing so, so use at your own discretion but I think its because they want you to purchase the more expensive monitor. Unless you got 32 GB of memory in your rig like I do, then you can do supersampling to boost the visuals and images. I also recommend using at least a MSI Geforce GTX 1080 graphic card for best performance. Now while most software cant go beyond 240 hz yet while this monitor can perform at 280 hz, lets hope the programmers out there can kick it up a notch. Make sure to turn on HD mode in windows when using this monitor even though it will turn off Game Visual in the monitors menu option when you do. Shadow Boost will also be disabled in menu options, not sure why but it doesn't matter, the monitor is bright enough even at HDR 400. The ability to swivel, tilt, height adjustment on this monitor is amazing, you can even view content with your monitor sidways if you wish. There was no bleeding, dead pixels or damages on the monitor and it was very secure in the box when shipped. I recommend getting Prime when purchasing and you can get it monthly instead of yearly. I received it in just 2 days after purchase.The BEST and FASTEST monitor created!
