Product Information

The Asus VG249Q is a FreeSync gaming monitor, but it also works flawlessly with Nvidia’s G-Sync Compatible mode. This duality extends its value per dollar further since you are free to choose which GPU to use without worrying about VRR functionality. Input lag sits at 4ms at 144Hz, so there is no worry about delays while playing competitively. Thoughts on the Asus VG249Q The Asus VG249Q’s pixel response time isn’t perfect, but you can use its Trace Free overdrive settings or its ELMB mode. Maxing out the former partially improves the persistence and blurring that still manages to appear on the screen. the ELMB does an even better job, but it lowers the screen’s brightness by almost half. The Asus VG249Q is a great value option for gamers who want a vibrant IPS screen that goes up to 144Hz. Its image quality is surprisingly good for a budget option, giving us an accuracy rating that you would normally find on prosumer models. The monitor’s design has a few downsides, but the durability and reliability we’ve come to expect from Asus are still there. It doesn’t weigh a lot at a little over 13 pounds, so it’s quite portable in some cases. Build quality for the Asus VG249Q is excellent even if it falls within the budget segment of gaming monitors. Asus spared no expense when it comes to materials, so the product is as durable as its premium siblings in their entire portfolio. There are no cosmetic defects and the stand doesn’t wobble uncontrollably even if you are a heavy typer. The Asus VG249Q offers a familiar format and it’s not overbearing when it comes to size and weight. The 24-inch model will fit most desks with enough space for other peripherals even if you have a full streaming setup.
