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.

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.

I was honestly surprised by how much quality came from a $120 monitor. This is definitely a buy and I would buy more if I had a bigger desk. The ASUS VG248QG 24" G-SYNC Gaming Monitor is a fantastic choice for gamers seeking a competitive edge. With its 165Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time, this monitor delivers incredibly smooth and responsive gameplay, making it ideal for fast-paced games where every millisecond counts. One of the standout features is the G-SYNC compatibility, which ensures that screen tearing and stuttering are minimized, providing a seamless and immersive gaming experience. The Full HD resolution (1920x1080) on a 24-inch screen strikes a good balance between clarity and performance, ensuring that games look sharp without putting too much strain on your graphics card. The monitor's ergonomic design is another plus, offering tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments to find the perfect viewing angle. The build quality feels robust and durable, which is typical of ASUS products. Additionally, the monitor includes several gaming-centric features like ASUS GamePlus and GameVisual, which enhance the gaming experience through customizable crosshairs, timers, and color settings. On the downside, the monitor's color accuracy and viewing angles are not as impressive as those of higher-end IPS panels, but this is a common trade-off for the speed and responsiveness of a TN panel. Also, while the built-in speakers are a convenient addition, they lack the depth and clarity that dedicated external speakers or headphones can provide. Overall, the ASUS VG248QG offers excellent performance for its price point, making it a solid investment for gamers looking to upgrade their setup. Its combination of high refresh rate, low response time, and G-SYNC compatibility makes it a standout option in the crowded market of gaming monitors.

This monitor is an amazing upgrade, especially for the price. I only wish I read that it was a tilt only. Monitor does not raise at all, so taller folks may need a boost under it. But as for the quality, everything is so crisp. Was simple to setup, don’t think I used the instructions. Turning on all the features for gaming makes things look so good.

I bought this for only SR1,600 including import tax. Super bargain price and worth the money. I used it as an external monitor for my Macbook Air. I can't appreciate the 165hz refresh rate because the Mac can only give 60hz refresh rate using hdmi port. Once i upgrade to M1 Mac, I can experience the real high refresh rate. The resolution is enough coming from the 720p screen of Macbook Air. Ultrawide is truly i like about this monitor. I can multitask and split screen especially on charting on tradingview.

This is the best VA panel I've used as far as response time. With the Variable OD set to level 3, blurring isn't noticeable to me and there's no overshoot. Anything higher there's a bit overshoot in dark areas. Contrast is very good at an impressive 4100-4200:1. I had issues with my first unit where there was some very noticeable dirty screen effect on dark grey screens. The replacement is much less noticeable. First panel measured ~4300:1 contrast, second panel measures ~4100:1. Both better than the advertised 3500:1. What also measures higher than specified was the brightness. In both SDR and HDR I measured a peak brightness of ~360nits, while the monitor is rated for only 300nits. This doesn't give a great HDR experience, but it should be plenty bright enough for most conditions in SDR. If you want a better HDR experience, you're looking at 3x the price of this monitor. My only gripes with this monitor is that there is no gamma setting. The panel natively measures ~2-2.1, which is a bit lower than the recommended 2.2. Picture looks pretty good despite this. Also a height adjustable stand would've been nice, but it sits at the perfect height for me anyway. Overall, I'd highly recommend this monitor. It is the best 32" curved VA gaming monitor I've tried in this price range, which includes the Alienware AW3225DM and Gigabyte M32QC. The Alienware had good color, good build quality, height adjustable stand and is brighter, but the contrast is the worst of the 3 and there's a terrible local dimming implementation in HDR that cannot be disabled. The Gigabyte also gets brighter, but it has the worst response time with noticeable smearing in dark areas.
