Asus TUF VG259QM5A: What Real Users Actually Think

After using this monitor I can 100% say especially for this price that I recommend it even at its regular price of $200. Monitor feels very responsive and fluid. Have had no issues with it. Running it on fps mode with color temp set to user mode with Red green and blue maxed out at 100. I can clearly tell the enemies apart from the world itself in the games I played being Fortnite, Valorant, and cs2.

I stayed with 1080p since I didn't want to make the GTX 1650 struggle with 1440p or 4K on my 4 year old Acer Nitro 5. I'd much rather have the FPS than a sharper image. So far I'm really impressed with it. Since the VG259QM is an IPS monitor the difference is night and day compared to TN panels!

Love it. Perfect panel. No dead/stuck pixels. No issues. Great little panel, gets very bright and is way more colorful than I thought it would be. Great motion handling. You can layer on top of each other ELMB and Gsync at the same time, a rare feature down at this price point, altho you do lose a little bit of brightness when you do but much less than I've seen on other panels. Or you can run Gsync by itself or ELMB by itself. I get a consistent 240 hz with zero ghosting.

If a 24" 1080p is your jam, there's no way you can do better than $119 on this one. Plus it's new so it should have at least a year of factory warranty and if you try it out and don't like it, send it back! I've spent more on a pair of jeans, this is a no-brainer.

As far as ergonomics go, it is VERY limited at this price point, there is no 90-degree pivot and not even a height adjustment. It comes with a small fixed stand that you install with screws and all it does is give you some tilt and some swivel but NO height adjustment and NO pivot.

Between these two, the vg259qm5a has the faster panel - 280hz vs 180hz on the msi. Asus also uses a newer fast-ips implementation. The mag 245f x24 has better contrast ratio usually but slower response times. If you play competitive fps, the asus is the play. Both are solid 1080p options though. Just keep in mind the asus has less adjustable stand if that matters to you. I'd lean asus personally for the motion clarity.

I have been using an excellent monitor for 3-4 years, it satisfies me with everything, it is a complete price performance product, it is 280 hz for its price, on top of its response times etc. it feels very good, single colors are also good in my opinion, in general, it is a complete home user monitor that can be bought at this price, I use it both competitively and for movies / series.

Yes, I absolutely LOVE this monitor! It's definitely worth the money and I highly recommend it.

I just bought the 240hz vg259qm5a from asus and it's a great bang for buck. Motion performance is great for fps titles.

I went for the Lenovo one eventually because that was in stock, and it was around $50 cheaper at that time. The colors are decent on the Lenovo. I mean you can't expect some top-tier monitor at that price range, but it's pretty much similar. The 320hz is kinda nice if you can hit the frames.

Have you tried connecting it to all different ports of the monitor? Tried going in the menu of the monitor and look for the setting to select which display output you want to use? (Set it to display port 1/2, hdmi port1/2, etc...)

Thank you for the review. How do you like it? Is there any problems like noticeable ghosting or excessive bleeding or horizontal lines or dead pixels or is it good?

It is practically the same except that you cant adjust height on vg259qmr5a model.

I have the 300hz version of that asus, if you can find it go for it because it's really good.

I have ASUS TUF 240hz 27 inch and I got it for 10,600 and recently my friend bought it too, he only got it for 9k+.
