Thanks for the review Sir! I will be having this monitor in a few days and will also use this monitor for work at night. Do you also have recommended settings for office use to reduce eye strain other than turning on the blue light filter?
Congrats on the new monitor! Yes, you definitely have to set the blue light filter if you're going to be using this at night. A few other useful features would probably by setting gamevisual to sRGB mode, since it also lowers the brightness and image intensity, so you're going to put less strain on your eyes. Also Shadowboost, if you feel like the image has too much contrast in the dark areas. Hope you enjoy your new monitor, and don't hesitate to comment if you have more questions!
I just wanted to buy myself a monitor for Christmas but I do not know which one to choose. I have my eye on 2 monitors and I have a dilemma which one to choose. one of the monitors is LENOVO Legion Y25-30 and the other is ASUS TUF Gaming VG249QM1A. I would be very grateful if you could help me.
I would choose the Y25-30 over the VG249Q. The lenovo monitor has a higher refresh rate at 280hz compared to the Asus Monitor and its bigger in size too. Both panels are ips displays which are both good but the asus is smaller than the lenovo, its really preference. do you prefer a 24.5 inch monitor or a 23.8 inch asus monitor?
I'm thinking of buying it too, but on Wednesday. I've read that this monitor has a high incidence of dead pixels. Have you experienced similar problems or not?
@@Massa2034 I found others with the same issue I had. I think the issue is really bad for this model. I had since sent mine for RMA to ASUS. They replaced it with a newer model (VG249Q3A) since the old one was no longer in stock. I really do hope the newer model doesn't experience any issues.
For those who have or have used this monitor. I use a 1080p TV and since multiplayer at home is pretty much dead, i’m thinking of buying a monitor. Though, i’m not an expert on monitors and could use a little bit of help. Is this monitor worth it?
I love this monitor for the price but depends where you will sit. I reccomend a vesa arm mount for the desk to help you adjust its position to what works best.
Hi! I just got this monitor and I'm wondering if the overclock would void my warranty. Also would it lessen the lifespan of the monitor if I always have it overclocked?
hi! just figured id let you know, in most cases overclocking isnt covererd in the warranty, if overclocking damadges the product some companys are okay with refunds as-long as you bought it whithin the past 90 days, but if i were you personaly i whouldnt risk it.
My ASUS tuf monitor is only showing 144hz on a 165hz monitor so I’m wondering if I can use custom utility resolution software to overclock it to 165hz since the monitor does support it or just get a usb c to display port adapter what are your thoughts

The speakers are trash. They are very hollow. If you’re getting this for gaming just use headphone and keep the speakers on mute. If you’re getting this to watch media content then even cheap computer speakers that plug into the headphone jack will sound 1000x better than the monitors

Hello! Upon checking the specs, the ASUS TUF A15 supports displayport out via USB-C, so I would suggest that you get a USB-C to Displayport 1.4 cable to make the most out of this monitor. Hope this helps!
I am using the Asus Rog Ally with this Monitor. Its connected via Hdmi and the official Rog Gaming charger dock. The problem i have is, that in AMD Adrenalin Software the Freesync is not supported. Someone know i can solve this? Freesync on the monitor is on.

What’s your gpu? If it’s even remotely decent then this shouldn’t be an issue for heating. If it is then you need to look into how you’re cooling your system and what kind of ventilation your case is providing. 120hz at 1080p shouldn’t be an issue.

when i mount vesa the back of the monitor is curved forward the bottom holes are ok but the upper ones i had gap and i needed to press when screwing the screws is that normal i didn't have any spacers
It’s just an unfortunate part of the design. Mine is the same. Just don’t over tighten. It’s a light monitor and the mount will hold fine. Get them snug but then stop.
The GTG response time is but that’s just a selling point for people who just see the number. Its MPRT is closer to 4-5 ms I believe. Which is a better metric for actual gameplay.
Just turn down overdrive and turn off elmb or freesync. Also your maximum refresh/resolution on console is 120 at 1080p so the 144hz or even overclocked 165 are not even possible on console and require a PC and display port.
Are you in power saving mode? If you are then turn that off. If you’re not then are you playing on a console or PC? And if you’re on PC are you using display port? If you’re on console then your max is 120hz so you can’t overlock at all. And if you’re on PC but using hdmi then you’ll be capped at 144 and once again can’t overlock.
@@miguelhxrnandez not true. The monitor has to have 120+hz AND hdmi 1.4 and newer to support 120hz at 1080p and higher through the cord and display. Don't worry since most modern gaming monitors have hdmi 1.4 and higher

If you’re on console then your max is 120hz so you can’t overlock at all. And if you’re on PC but using hdmi then you’ll be capped at 144 and once again can’t overlock.
