ASUS VG248QE Black 24" 144Hz 1ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD 3D Monitor Height&pivot adjustable 350 cd/m2 80,000,000:1 Built-in Speakers

Pros: Super fluid motion when gaming, great price, excellent response time, easily adjustable, great OSD, and colors look good for a TN panel once you do some tweaking.

Cons: 1.The biggest con for me is that after a little more than a week I have a stuck pixel. I have tried fixing it, but had no luck. Hopefully, it will fix itself over time since nothing that I have tried has worked. While gaming it's hard to notice it, but it is very noticeable during general use. I have had ASUS monitors before (and so have some of my friends) and none of us have had this problem before. I really wouldn't worry about this if you are a new buyer.

2. The colors on this monitor are really bad out of the box, but if you do some research on google/youtube you can easily find good ICC profiles along with proper settings for RGB, Brightness, Contrast, etc.

Other Thoughts: All in all it is a fantastic monitor. I would have easily given this monitor 5 eggs if it weren't for the stuck pixel. As a competitive gamer I can definitely tell you that if you can get enough fps to benefit from a 120/144hz monitor YOU WILL WANT THIS MONITOR.

Pros: Arrived with no dead pixels, no stuck pixels, and no backlight bleed. Overall quality is excellent.

Cons: The included cable is only 5 feet long and wasn't long enough for my needs.

Other Thoughts: This is my third monitor from ASUS and they have all performed flawlessly. Initially there was some screen jitter when gaming or scrolling my browser page but it stopped after a few days. Maybe these high-performance monitors require some break-in period to 'loosen up' the pixels. Whatever! It's all good now!

Pros: true motion
doesnt hurt the eyes even after 3 hours of fps gameplay
doesn't get hot
swivel up or down
the onscreen crosshairs
makes any game appear to run like butter
the colors are true, blacks are blacks whites are whites i can wait to play amnesia again on this i will my pants

Cons: widescreen rectangle shape
if u have amd card like me 7850 1gb you cant take advantage of the 3d and nvidia perks that come with this monitor

Other Thoughts: for fps games like battlefield where you see far away, this monitor helps me pick up any movement and I take out my sniper and get clean head shots
-270 bucks is not bad but i got this for 255 and at that price it cost the same as my old 27inch samsung 5ms monitor/tv and 3inches smaller is not noticeable
-this monitor says good bye to old games that had screan tearing, like miasmata and gothic 4 arcania plays smooth like butter
*******conclusion**********
after reading reviews saying people would not go back to 60hz after trying this one, I was skeptical but now I see why, in FPS i noticed everything clear and movements across the map are noticeable
i would recommend this instead of a bigger screen at the same price or a resolution higher than 1080p because this is all you need to experience smooth and buttery results. paired with nvidia graphics will give you an even better experience with lightboost and the blur busters site

Pros: crystal clear when playing games and when on the windows desktop
everything just looks better than a standard monitor
no dead pixels

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: after using this monitor i will never go back to a 60hz ever again. it helps so much in multi-player games its unbelievable. i use the cross-hair option way more than i thought i ever would. if your thinking about getting one of these then stop thinking and just buy it already! totally worth it!

Pros: The monitor has a great display and it is bright as well comfortable to site in front of it. the interface is good since it allows me to choose the best connection I want. So far I did not run some "real" tests but the functionally is as advertized.

Cons: would like to see USB 3 interface and improve the speakers sound quality.

Other Thoughts: I like the fact that I can select between portrait and landscape and adjust the height of monitor. The numerous interfaces are also very helpful.

Pros: Fast response, smoother graphics, great for FPS and fast paced games. I really like this monitor and recommend this to anyone that enjoys gaming.

Cons: Not too much a con. You may have make some adjustments to colors. Few mins of tweaking you should find what you feel comfortable with.

Other Thoughts: Get this if you got the cash. You won't regret this.

Pros: upgraded from a 60hz power saving monitor, like saving power matters any more pfft. Anyways the 144hz is miraculously fast for game play and movie scenes as well.

Cons: running on 144hz after a while gets the monitor a tad hot, not that big of a deal. Also going from 120hz to 144hz raises my graphics card heat from 29c to 39c IDLE which is a little crazy.

Other Thoughts: I can see in a few years this will be 1 of the go to monitors because of the speed and consistency the 144 gives, but also the graphics cards will be much better for these when that time comes giving you that much more of an advantage over those power saving players.

Pros: Great for gaming once the monitor is calibrated for 144hz. Lots of customization options between the monitors built in settings and using ICC files. Even the desktop transitions and general movements are smooooth...

Cons: The pros are exactly why this monitor has cons. It takes a considerable amount of time to adjust the monitor to look great. I am using this with an Asus GTX 670 4GB. In fact, there are no clear instructions for what optimal settings for general use could be. Part of the problem with this monitor is that general desktop use is fairly grainy, even after setting up the clear text through Windows.

Other Thoughts: I like the monitor, I just don't love it. There are simply too many settings that need to be changed, and too much time that needs to be spent getting it right... Even for general use.

I'll still be buying 2 more for nVidia 3D surround, but I'm hoping for a 27-30 inch 1440 at 120 or 144hz someday that will require less tweaking and manipulation (at least give us some direction out side of GOOGLE for setup).

Pros: Clear Picture, Vivid Colors, Insane response time, 144 hz will have your game Blazing fast with no tearing.
Its 3D ready.
Display Port, DL-DVI, and HDMI ports give you many options.

I could go on and on about this monitor, but let me just say:

"This is the best monitor purchase I have ever made."

Cons: There is only one Con that I can come up with for this incredible monitor.
It takes a little bit of adjusting to get the perfect mode/brightness/color settings correct.
What monitor doesn't though, I always have to tweak a little here or there on any new screen.

Other Thoughts: If You are on the fence whether to spend the extra cash on this monitor, DO IT!
You will not be disappointed.
Very high quality product.

Pros: Its big

Cons: its horrible, colors are freaking bad even with icc profiles. When i plug in a hdmi cable to it the colors are great, black looks black when i put the supplied dvi i port into it now the black looks pixelated blue. ? Either my only dvi i cable is bad, or i have a bad port on the screen. I Doubt either are the issue as pc gaming is horrible. Im selling this and buying a ps3, nuff said

Other Thoughts: I waited 3 months for this thing, everything about it except its build quality is horrible.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

This monitor should also work with PS3 via HDMI cable. You may want to try a different DVI cable and see if there’s any improvement. If you have any more questions, comments or concerns, please contact me at cl-celeste@asus.com and include ref#1072-11077 in the subject line.
