Is anyone else bothered by how badly Linus seems to handle review hardware lately? I mean, I get it. They get it for free but there's no need to throw monitors, CPUs and graphics cards aroun.
I also noticed it, smashing the screen, rotating it very rough, etc. When I got my new monitor I handled it like a baby, I still don't dare to touch the glass ;)
yeah me too, came here to say that. even his little tap at 5:41. his hand going up got me.. then it was just a tap. but i would still never tap a monitor like that >.>
bit ten I thought it was already too hard
maybe Linus is into bdsm
Bill Pairaktaridis I was just about to comment. The way Linus treats the hardware triggers me.
best gaming monitor out there - *slams it on the table*
the delivery guys probably did worse things to it.

lol the way he treats the monitor is scary.
he treats everything else the same way
That monitor hertz my wallet.

Craig Smith yeah, sure and im the king of Zimbabwe
Yesto did I say 2000? I meant 3000 😂
Yesto, Hello king of Zimbabwe
Yesto No that's me, shud up you heathen.
That guy's sensitivity is SO. DAMN. LOW.
yeah with that
his wrists are flippin miles away!
the vast majority of pro csgo players play with low sensitivity
Yes... in csgo you don't play like call of duty (aka a high sensitivity) csgo is much more about recoil control, precision at long distance, and preaiming around corners and stuff than most fps games are. that's one of its appeals
most cs players play at 800 dpi or dots per inches.... I think that's what it stands for... and my in game sense is 1... however I play at 400 dpi and 1000dpi with my Logitech g502

I wish the big tech channels would cover less of the crazy super high-end stuff. (this video isnt the best example as this monitor isnt outrageously priced)
I want to get excited about things I can afford; not a marketing stunt for brand attention or products for people with more money than sense. (no offense to you rich guys out there, but even you have to admit you're not always practical)
I know I'm probably the weird one here but I would like to see some more normal product videos.
Charsept the unfortunate reality is that the high end components have larger margins and therefore have more marketing budgets to push out content like this. I can almost guarantee that tech tips got the monitor for free and possibly a kickback. Yes, midrange products sell more in terms of volume but are far less profitable. that said, I would also like to see more affordable products more often
I would ALWAYS save money to get a high end/high midrange product. It makes no sense to me to go low end just because you can buy it within a short time frame rather than something higher end that would last years. Often times I see people save money for like 2 months and then cave and buy garbage. I'm glad I spent time waiting to get something better.
(assuming you live in a country where hardware prices don't cost limbs on the black market, aren't struggling to keep food on the table, and don't have mountains of debt. Even with these stipulations many people just can't save money. Not everyone who buys high end products are "rich")
Charsept Have you ever heard of the channel RandomGamingHd? if u dont know it you maybe want to check it out, he makes great videos about parts wich are not crazy expensive. I dont think its weird that you want less crazy high-end stuff.
I find enjoyment from trying to stretch lower end products to their limits. Get the most out of something 'cheap'. For example, I'm an avid fisherman. I have multiple rods and reels. Yet I've never spent more than $40 on a rod or reel and almost never more than $4 on a lure. This philosophy spreads to everything. Cars, computers, housing, etc. I'll never buy the best of anything because it feels wasteful and I take pleasure in the challenge of making the most of lesser things. Putting these restrictions on myself makes me get creative and more efficient. Now I may not always buy super low end stuff all the time. But at the very least, I'm a mid range guy through and through. It's not a matter of money (even though I am pretty broke), it's a matter of principle.
Charsept Smart way to live by. :)
1440p 144 fps is still best. 4K 144 fps will be satisfactory. Beyond that one will start to witness diminishing returns.
Assuming we stay in the 25-40in monitor range. If it existed and i had the money i would buy an 8k 80" 240hz monitor in a heartbeat.
Nick Wallace 80 inches would introduce too much frame tearing, frame drops, and latency issues.
+James Oldfield not if it were 4 individual panels with zero bezel width. that has been done before, but it took a monster PC and special software to run, along with very limited media options to display
seth newman Sure, if you have an INFINITE vastness of wealth. Why not?
+James Oldfield yeah just saying it's possible. I wouldn't want it.
I'd be ecstatic just to have a 1440p 120hz screen let alone the 4k 120hz that are coming in march
Linus makes everything sound exiting. Exceptional Speaker.
$800 for 240Hz, holy damn. 144Hz with FreeSync costs only around $200.
I'll pass for now.
not for peasants
only 200? damn.
AOC G2460PF, I've got one it's nice but the colors and black contrast aren't as good as the ASUS and BenQ models
Hamboner5 thats why I bought a xl2411 instead of a g2460pf.
It's $600 at Microcenter and $570 on Newegg
*Huh that looks pretty cool*
$800 *kbai*
you buy everything you look at on UA-cam?
No, it's too expensive for anything I can afford xD
It's $600 actually.
Not all countries pay the same for the monitors.

hey, any plans to review the AW2518H?
21:9 or bust.
There is no reason for 16:9 to exist anymore; completely inferior aspect ratio.. as it was over a decade ago in comparison to 16:10.
So stupid.
Yeah, true. still wish my 21:9 could do 144hz though but it's IPS.
Still using 5:4, nice
overwatch doesnt support ultra wide
A lot of games don't, but that's because the developers are lazy. Making fixes for UW gaming is really easy.
there are 3rd party programs to force anything to run in Ultra wide. if it doesnt work you're doing it wrong.

I bought this exact monitor Asus ROG Swift PG258Q 240hz Here is my quick review:
Build: Quality build is good but mostly the display port problem is the biggest issue.
Performance: 240hz is really noticeable unless your reflexes are quite slow. I played on the same monitor 60hz vs 144hz vs 200hz (because my older gpu can only manage and supports 200hz), I really can tell the difference between 200hz vs 144hz in both browsing and gaming. Every time I activate the Overdrive system to extreme, there is not much motion blur. You can even read text in your browser even if you move/scroll the window up and down. To be honest 200hz with OD to extreme is already like a matrix (slow motion). Just think if 200hz is like that, what more for 240hz? It is crispy smooth.
Color: One of my biggest issue on this monitor is the out of the box color as you need to calibrate it to be a good looking TN monitor. The modes on this monitor ain't the best but the FPS mode is quite good for PUBG only needs to lower the brightness a little bit. My first impression coming from another 2009 hp tn monitor was the color looks washed away, so I read a calibration guide. Brightness is also my issue here as it looks way too bright. ULMB looks good in actual only if you can reach 144hz consistently.
Downside: You can't activate gsync and ULMB at the same time.
Calibration settings: Racing Mode, Brightness 0 to 17, Contrast 50, Color Temp. User mode, Gamma 2.2 is the best. Dark Boost=0 unless you wanna play PUBG or dark games just to see enemies clearer. Adaptive contrast control= mostly disabled or depends on what you are doing. Blue light filter=0, 3 if reading or in a dim light (4 is too much redish screen as this monitor mostly warm in colors) Overdrive=normal if you are just doing simple task, extreme is for fps (matrix mode).
That mouse sensitivity man...
you could swipe that thing around the room and still wouldnt do a 360 spin on the game...
Linus face in the thumbnail looks creepy
holy shit I thought i was the only one

benq xl series master race = same high end panels as asus except you dont get a 500$ price gouge for g-sync memes
except gsync is genuinely great.
no gsync or freesync
Im waiting (Will be years) for 4K, 240Hz.
Decades*
4k 144hz is almost here though thanks to acer and asus from CES
But nobody is going to bother with 4k 240hz as market for such monitor would consist of 2-3 people.
Hector Amador 2.5k*
and even 100hz is a huge jump from 60hz. 60hz is terrible
A year or 2
*Meanwhile console peasants think 30Hz is human limit so they game happily on their 30Hz device*
"the human eye refreshes 17 times a second" stfu no it doesnt
Shitposting no only 5 you moron
Lol i play on 144hz
I heard one kid while i was on my PS4 saying that the human eye can only see 9 fps, then the whole lobby started roasting the shit out of him.
Ethan Perreault lmao
I love the way in which these videos are produced. You guys do an amazing job
Going for 144hz and 4k next year i dont need to have no 240hz
So you do need one?
pls tell me what gamesa you are expecting to play on 4k with 144fps? And with which gpu?
Admiral Ashik what the hell are you saying? it is an lcd panel.... ips is not the only type of lcd
+Konan Pruiksma 1170 sli, all games basically
Gaaah the double negative, my weakness!
srsly, picking up the mouse? cringy.
It's because he's on an extremely low sensitivity. A lot of CSGO pros play on very low sensitivity and you have to pick up the mouse to turn.
Seems like a great way to develop carpal tunnel syndrome. That dudes mouse is WAY too slow. Downloading pro configs doesn't actually make you good. Enjoy making those 60 degree flicks, because that's the max you will be able to make 😂😂😂
David Scheindlin enjoy staying in silver 😂😂😂
Edzel is a global elite, clearly he's doing it right like most pro's are and using a very low sensitivity.
kaimelis You're cringy
i remember getting the STRIX XG258Q and it came with the 60hz settings and i played on that for about a year then i found out how to change to 240 and it just looks so different
so you where playing Clash of Clans @60 fps if you played 1 Year on 60hz 🤣🤣😬😬
Never seen someone as rough with expensive tech as linus. Its so satisying
the 4ms killed it for me
I think that was a mistake on Linus' part, on Asus website its 1ms
Its Blizzyyy ssly I hope so I have the pg278q but I would make the change just for the 240hz + hdmi
Would love 240hz 1080p but 144hz 1440p is also pretty good IMO, so I'm not sure what I would go for. Maybe would play around with them first before I decide
Linus was talking about the frametime, not the pixel response time.
1000ms=1 second
1000ms/240hz = 1 frame every 4.16 ms
1000ms/60 Hz = 16.67 ms
1000ms/75 Hz = 13.33 ms
1000ms/120 Hz = 8.3 ms
1000ms/144 Hz = 6.9 ms
1000ms/165 Hz = 6.1 ms
1000ms/180 Hz = 5.56 ms
Aaron Campbell I did not understand nothing but long story short is it 1ms or 4ms
so uh
240hz and 1080p and tn panel
how much is it
He said its like $500
ah i see now, like basically for competitive gaming?
When does it come out??
Yes. It's BEAUTIFUL
UA-cam User are you dumb or are you stupid?
you are my favorite blogger and unboxer and speaker about tech on market ! thank you linus!
6:24 Omg! That mouse sensitivity!
yeah wtf. its like 200
Well how about BenQ 25" ZOWIE XL2540, 240Hz e-Sports -monitor
Mucheros ikr
exactly... why are people just now hearing about 240hz.... benq made one months ago....
i hear it's not a true 240Hz, they slip a black frame or something. Might be wrong though, sorry.
gggtml no the BenQ zowie one is the exact same panel as the Asus one I think. you are thinking about that other fake strobing 240hz (120hz) monitor from last year. AOC BenQ and asus all are making this 240hz panel.
eizo had one 2013 with this "upherzing".
4:36 over 1000$ for a monitor but no software to change the logo like you want ? cmon
its not a fukin projector man its just a red light
didnt he say 500?
Adrian Hutt you cant seriously ssay you care about that
Adrian Hutt How would they even do that? It's just a red light, not much they can do, or should do as that would pretty much never used
While it doesnt make or break the monitor. I do find it silly that they added this feature and didnt give you the RGB option. This will not look so good in any setup thats not red/black/white or a mix of those. So essentially there's a feature on the monitor that im paying for that will not be put to use because somebody in Asus didnt have the foresight to make it just a tiny bit more customizable.
Still a wonderful piece of hardware.
Is there a big difference between this and the xg258q? Please I really need an honest answer. I can't decide :(
I'm pretty sure they are like the same thing
for shooting games like COD, do you prefer this monitor or 144hz 2k?
It has always bothered me how LINUS treats the equipment, I remember watching him do a customers build years back and he was just throwing the guys computer components all over the place miss handling everything. CMON Linus show some appreciation for the stuff you handle my man!! Especially sense probably 70% of your viewership cannot even afford the stuff you do reviews on.
Computer parts aren't NEARLY as fucking sensitive as the people that think they are. They're not made of paper.
No they are made of money usually quite expensive as well it is called "appreciation" and respect. And none the less miss handling someone else's components as in the example given is uncalled for and down right disrespectful again especially when the working Joe that slaved away to build his dream rig has ole ANUS here just throwing his components around like trash. But I guess when you've made it in the big league and you don't have to pay for the components anymore because it is all sponsored by the companies that you sold out for and can't even give an honest review on components you do reviews on because of it then it does not really matter I guess huh!
"But I guess when you've made it in the big league and you don't have to pay for the components anymore because it is all sponsored by the companies that you sold out for"
Your ignorance is painful. Linus started small, working under NCIX. He put blood sweat and tears into making Linus Media Group and without him tech videos wouldn't be at the standard they are today. He was "throwing components around" even when he was a smallfry under NCIX. You're completely ignoring the effort put into these videos and their focus and fixating on the fact that he's heavy-handed with computer components. If you'd worked with a high volume of PC parts before you'd know how desensitized you get to being delicate with them every time. They are made to stand packaging and rough handling UPS drivers and they're made to last for years against the elements in your home. The fact that you belittle any of what Linus does over your inability to understand that computer parts aren't made of fucking silly putty is pathetic.
No it is not pathetic at all your response is, And you are making computer components sound like there made titanium which is laughable and that is where the ignorance lies my friend. Obviously they are not made of feathers or jello, but yes they are delicate and in many different ways. And if you have been a long time Linus follower such as myself which you sound like you are not sure hard to tell with the tears falling from your eyes and drowning out your ability to speak the truth especially on him "selling out" on that I don't know how you cannot admit the fact that he does not give honest reviews especially when the product is sponsored. (That is an issue with a lot of reviewers on UA-cam though eg. when sponsored) And when you say he has always treated the components like shit even when he was a smallfry as you put it only further compliments what I stated. But again all the more power to him seriously he worked hard for something and made it, I am glad for the guy that is awesome. But like I said it has always bugged me the way he treats the components and like the example I gave the big one for me was when he was just miss handling and throwing around someone else's build that they paid for with there hard earned money. Call it what you want but it is simply fucked up and disrespectful. Bad business in every sense of the word. If you took your computer to Best Buy to have then look at your computer because it was having problems and as they dismantled your rig they just threw your parts on the ground with force, and literally just tossed other parts over there shoulders with zero care you would be ok with that? Hey maybe you would but I on the other hand would have a serious issue with that especially as a customer. A. I take care of my stuff and B. When your running a business you should never conduct it like that I thought that was common sense? But again like you said he just does not care and that's my point. Either way I was stating my opinion nothing more nothing less and opinions are like Asshole's everybody has one ;) . Anyways man Thank-You for the conversation and have a nice day Frostbite don't get to butt hurt over my opinion friend we all still love U. XoxoxoxoX.................. Hugs And Kisses Brother!!!

davidtburr lol
davidtburr I didn't?...
good for you!
ur gay
i got this monitor kinda long ago now and ... it’s a game changer having 240hz monitor in general.. lower input lag when hitting 240 fps or even higher .. g sync adds input lag so better to turn off .. so as ULMB so apparently it’s better to be set to fixed refresh or whatever its called ..
if u can’t hit a stable 240fps or even higher then don’t bother buying it
if i have ryzen 7 2700x and evga rtx 2070 xc should i get this monitor?
dubb I believe yh! as long as u got a good mobo and a high speed ram .. cuz once i had an issue n turned out that it’s my ram wasn’t fast enough..

7:00 You can clearly see the switch to 144 Hz caused the screen to flicker on *this* monitor. Some flaw in the tech, or the monitor isn't made to implement it properly. Human perception needs 85Hz, above that benefits peter out quickly. Put on top of that that even 1ms (gray-to-gray timing now) TN panels have slow black-to-white timing, far below 60 Hz. All that matters is the speed of the pixels. When BtW timing is back up there with CRT monitors @ 85Hz, we'll be back to when monitors were good for gaming. Until then, all that matters is the speed of the panel and >=85Hz support.
I already have triple 240hz 1ms 4k g sync screens, what exactly does this add to my collection?
bigger pixels
Yarnell Riley more value for your money
That is a lie
Unless something was recently unveiled, I'm fairly certain that there is no 4k, low latency, 144+Hz monitor on the market yet. Please provide me proof, because I've looked high and low for such hardware.
That you're full of shit.
Not IPS not 4K, not best
GuardianLords an IPS panel would kickass
i want him to review the 4k 144hz monitor
100% wrong. The total input lag times as recorded and detailed on places such as tftcentral is what you should look for, *not* the headline pixel gtg response times. Asus' 1440p 144Hz IPS turned out to have just as quick a total input lag time as the TN one from the year before, meaning no advantage for that particular TN (which is the fastest around) over that IPS (which is also the fastest around). Please learn stuff.
+Trump I think during CES Linus said that 4K 144Hz one requires two Quadros to drive, which I don't think he has on hand.
you do not need any more than 60fps at 4k tbh
Alienware has a sale on their version of a 244 hz 1ms monitor, it was only $300 when I posted this comment. I ordered it. :D
Its very nice
Arctic Fox you mean 240 hz
There is no gsync tho
@@likunjian1850 who uses gsync on a 244hz monitor
@@purpleey People with a functioning brain, or don't have a Zowie monitor.
You know that if you just put a slight cut in the tape on the bottom of the box that when you flip it over the air comes in and you avoid the vacuum. The inside package slips out easily.
Again... BenQ/+ZowieGear did the 240hz for 500$ at 1080p, first. Plus instead of gSync they had their own sync tech. that could work for whatever gpu you wanted. Noone ever did a video on that though, so it's not liek I know what the experience is liek but it's BenQ and zowie gear so I would think it's kind of worth it, 500$ and all.
Oh i thought this thing was like 700$ or 900$, nvm linus.
But it is 800$ as pre-order in the UK.
Noone NEEDS to make video about that. Everyone expects zowie to be at the top... I am not saying the video shouldn't be made. But I don't need to see it to know what to expect from Zowie.
Can anybody else agree that it is hard to tell refresh after about 120 hz?
If they are side by side it's quite easy to tell. 240Hz monitors are one of those things you will only really utilize during twitchy moments where fractions of a second count. Other than that its like cruising around town in regular traffic in a Charger Hellcat.
XaviarCraig I would think that would be the case. On my 144hz I can't tell past about 120. It feels great though.
well, also if ure have to work for a realy long time on screens. like medical monitoring (one of the reasons, why the realy high end stuff often still runs on CRTs.
Now I have a question after it being this long and the price dropping is this a good monitor to buy?
Kurtis Haack I’m here with you
Kurtis Haack the moniter is still great but it cost rn on Amazon 480$ I think sooo not very cheap but if your gonna get something that expensive you should get the alien ware 240 hz moniter(ninja uses it and a bunch of other pros also use it) or just get a 140 hz moniter in the 120-200 price range
Wow this only just got reviewed and the ROG SWIFT PG27VQ and PG27UQ etc has been announced now. Looking forward to a review on these :)
Hey guys see the two links below for detailed TFTCentral reviews of this panel (1920x1080) vs the 200hz acer predator z35 (up to 2560x1080). Summary: this Asus or the benq or aoc version is faster if you are strictly looking for the lowest display lag and fastest response time. see below;
in case anyone has a 200hz predator z35 here is the review. I will reply in a sec with the TFTCentral detailed review of the AOC version (exact same panel) of the Asus pg258q from this video. www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/acer_predator_z35.htm
Here is the review of the exact same 240hz panel. Asus, AOC and BenQ all are using the same 240hz panel www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/aoc_agon_ag251fz.htm. This 240hz Asus pg258q is definitely faster (avg response time avg of 2.6 (lowest was 1.0gtg) vs 9.0ms and 240hz vs 200hz) than the 200hz Acer predator z35 which came out in Jan 2016. in case this helps anyone who enjoys the super detailed reviews oscilloscope etc. This is really only for those twitch fps gamers where you play on low with single or dual ( insert high end card here) just to ensure you stay above 240fps on overwatch, bf1, bf4 obviously. you would be giving up VA for a TN with the extra response reduction and lower display lag of course.
Should I get this monitor or the Dell S2417DG? The dell has a higher resolution (1440p) at the cost of being 165hz (which is still really nice).
ZippetySticks you will notice 1080p vs 1440p but 165hz vs 240hz isnt that noticeable
I have used a 1440p 96hz Korean Display and a 1080p 144hz. I can definitely say that I play faster paced games like CSGO better on the 144hz monitor as the difference is noticeable, but slower paced survival games like 7 Days to Die and RuneScape are much more enjoyable on a 1440p display, so I am probably going to go with the Dell as it seems like the best of both.
The only thing I am a bit worried about is going back to TN from IPS, but it shouldn't be too bad. I am probably not going to save another $300 for a monitor that is only slightly larger and has IPS.
The Dell TN panels are one of the best you can buy. Once calibrated correctly with a color profile they really get near the quality of an IPS display. You should definitely get the Dell one. I have the 27" 144hz Rev A4 model and it's truly awesome. It's really close to the quality of my factory calibrated U2515H.
What SunRed said. I've used the 24" and 27" versions of the dell and prefer the 27" for scaling of browser and applications. Games did look better on the 24" because of higher pixel density, but I appreciated 1440p more on the bigger screen and the extra work space along with it.
More stoked for the Acer Predator XB272-HDR and Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ releasing in Q2
It's a pretty swift monitor, but it only has 1080p resolution.
You dont need more
Can you do a video to investigating the benefit of using gaming monitors or other gaming accessories like mice? Do they make you a better player, or more likely is it just a placebo.
Dan Bodine yea sure i loose games not because i am a noob but because my monitor refresh rate
***** That's what I have been saying for some time, but I still think a "proper" study should be done in the name of science.
get a decent mouse and a 144hz monitor and you'll definitely notice a difference, but it's not an "increase skill" button
Matthew Wu So if doesn't make you better why would you buy?
Dan Bodine same reason as buying a 10000$ watch a titan xp
You made a mistake: 144/120 Hz with ULMB compared to 240 Hz is a bad comparison because ULMB adds input lag. You should've compared 144 Hz to 240 Hz (both without ULMB). I expected too much of you there I guess.
Yea he should have set it on windows to 144hz simple comparison.
What is ULMB?
Ultra low motion blur.

87detto bruh, you need to get a job headass 😂
Correct me if I am wrong, but the only difference that a gamer would see from this fast of refresh rate is when playing other people. For instance, if the build and internet were the same and the only difference was the monitor, the faster refresh rate would deliver a picture slightly faster than the person with the 120 or 60. I could be mistaken but I believe that if the picture refreshes faster that it will give(the most slight) advantage over someone else. Thoughts???
I thought that refresh rates only mean that when playing a 60hz game on a 60hz monitor you use its full potential. If you play a 60hz game with 240hz does it make a difference?
Red boy if you play a 60hz game on a 240hz monitor its the exact same as playing a 60hz game on a 60hz monitor. But there really are no games which are only 60hz
Pepe The Frog except roblox
Hz in terms of gaming are measured in the outputted frames per second (FPS) in terms of games. There arent any games released in the past decade that can only output a maximum of 60 frames.

2 Problems: Price and Resolution
Asus' quality control is questionable at best.
indeed it is indeed it is
Jim Harol thing is its not asus who makes the screen. Acer and asus screens are the same. But asus often has better menu controll and better calibrated colours at the start. Basicly you should wait some months for the manfacuter iron out the.prolems and hope you dont get an early one
i'm loving the Acer Predator series
I must be one of the lucky ones. I've been purchasing ASUS motherboards and other products since their Socket 3 board in 1994. Since then I've RMA'd one product. And kept most of them well past their warranty periods in working order.
Asus is hit and miss for me, I do have a mobo from them made back in 1999. Called the P3B-F.
6:30 he has the lowest sensitivity I have ever seen
Dhjcucjsb Shah it’s cs most people use a 400 dpi and a 1.8 to 2.5 sens
I use 400 dpi .8 sens
700 dpi 4,1 sens 😳
Just bought me a PG258Q that I won on eBay at auction for only £250 with free postage. It may be seller refurbished but at that price its a steal.
Digital displays on airplanes all run at 400 Hz. Get on my level.
Now just to figure how to get Crisis 3 to run on an navigation computer....🤔
It doesn't matter the eye cant see over 30 fps
I'm just kidding man i have a 1920 x 1080 monitor and 1920x1080=2 073 600
which means i have a 2 million herz monitor
Your youtube image goes perfect with what you said. lol
RawLaks *2 million pixels
2 million pixels!! dats a lot man i can change between 1920 or 1080 pixels
Actually I believe the eye can only see at 1 fps
Got this monitor 2 days ago, its awesome.
So far ive noticed:
1) Uber-imba color banding (specialy black color in videos) - if someone told me this ammount of banding is possible, probably wouldnt believe it
2) Very annoying vertican (scan) lines. Specialy when you play games (fps- when you move left right they appear, when you stop it gets back to normal)
3) Slight flickering (game loading screens - etc)
4) Very very ugly colors and contrast/brightness
5) Some backlight bleeding (but its not spectacular as color banding - can tolerate it)
6) Did i mention worst unimaginable color banding?
Will RMA tommorow right after breakfast and coffee.
p.s. Is there PG258Q without this problems at all???? Ive seen that this problems come across most - if not all ROG's
All 24.5 inch ( 25) 240 hz panels come from AUO and they all have a huge defect . They have vertical pixel inversion when the image is in motion. The effect is more obvious the lower the hz and looks like vertical lines across the screen. For example a Playstation 4 can only use 60 hz wich makes the effect very bad . Even on 240 hz on PC you will face this issue. It does not matter who manufactured the monitor, all Acer, Asus, Alienware ,etc. use the same deffective panel. The only 240 hz monitor that i have tested and does not have this issue is a 27 inch LG named 27GK750F.
6:21 pls add some DPI
Had to scroll way too far to find this comment
Jono WANG nope scream uses high sens
Jono, pros use sensitivity in which they can always turn 180° with a quick swift motion, Edzel would have to make like 3 moves.
Evbil_wafflez 400dpi and sensitivity 2.5 is high? rly?
maybe yu havent played cs!
Can it display tetras well?
Narwhal Bacon the fish?
Just ordered this monitor. Linus dont let me down!
When, he spoke about gaming & Edzel's remarks. I think it's the same as if you used to play on a high ping (somewhere at 200-300ms) and then, jump down to low ping (0-60ms) everything is just a little way too instant that... that preemptive adjustment for latency that you used to do before is now making you way too fast. Kinda' like if one thing used to make you miss a shot by hitting way too right. This is making you hit way too left. Needs a while to adjust.
If the monitor has a refresh rate of 240Hz does that meand that you have to be able to run every game at 240fps or more to be able to use vsync without artifacts? Or is 60fps still good at higher refresh rates? I still have a 60Hz monitor but this doubt has kept me on buying a 75Hz or even a 144Hz monitor. Thanks in advance.
If your pc can't push the extra frames having a higher refresh rate is useless. As far as vsync goes I wouldn't be worried about that if you're getting a high refresh rate monitor, and would opt for a freesync or gsync monitor instead.
60fps will work fine on higher refresh rate, you're only winning with it because if your GPU actually pushes more than that your monitor will be able to display it.
I often play console ports that are locked to 60FPS. All I do is crank up the graphics settings and turn GSync on. Works perfect for me.
If you play at 240hz+, you're probably playing competitive anyways, so vsync is disabled as it always causes input lag. Even freesync and gsync do.
GV I have gtx 1060 :| So 144Hz instead of 240Hz?
The "Screen tearing when gpu is under or over 60fps" is not correct. It happens when the gpu and monitor is unsynced. Vsync forces the gpu to render only when the monitor is ready, and if the gpu cant keep up stuttering happens. But yes, to get the full experience, you still need 240fps
Who buys a dope ass monitor and expensive PC just to play old shitty games?
Warren Quick It may be old but it's not shitty game
Old =/= Bad.
If you're not playing CS or Quake Live on your 240hz gaming monitor, you bought 180hz more than you needed.
brosephjames every game benefits fron 240hz... if you can't see the benefits then your eyes got problems
Which is why I'm fine with my 1080p 60 hz monitor alongside my gtx 1070.
Overkill? Not really, Some games get fps as low as 40 with a gtx 1070 at ultra settings at 1080p. So yeah, I did make a good choice.
Hoped to see the on-screen crosshairs by ASUS. Hopefully another review will cover it.
The light and rog logo should be orange or white. Red doesn't match the orange. Maybe I'm just being picky though.
great ... but who games on a 25" monitor ? - also shouldn't that be HDMI 2.0 ?
I game on a 24".
mines 21 inches and plenty.
I know a semi pro csgo player who games on a 7 year old Asus 15.6 inch laptop(with no spacebar, he uses alt)
Uh... 25" 1440p monitors are great. =) I've 2 of them. Higher DPI looks nicer.
lmao he is a true gamer
25" is a bit too large for my taste tbh.
what the fuck happened to your thumbnails?

linus 2017: 240HZ THIS IS THE BEST MONITOR
linus 2020: 360HZ THIS IS THE BEST MONITOR
linus 3000: 1000000000001HZ THIS IS THE BEST MONITOR
I just bought that before seeing this video... I’m also building a PC and only have to buy the case and GPU now (Corsair Graphite 780T and RTX 2080 Ti, but I might get an RTX 2080 Super)
I'm not buying another Asus monitor based on your review, Linus, no matter how much they paid you to praise it. I got PG279Q and I couldn't even return that back-light bleeding piece of shit.
LOL go TN AsusPG278QR
25" screen is too small. 1440p on 27" is good for normal desks.
yes
25" is perfect for 1080p. If this monitor had been 1080p at 27", it would have been even worse.
25" 240Hz and just 1080p and its not even cheaper than the 27" big brother with 1440p and 165Hz
I never said smaller inches monitors would be bad on 1080p. I said larger monitors on 1080p makes no sense.
Dunno if it was posted but i found a workaround with some monitors that dont push full hz out in the preset options. Use Nvid Control Panel or Amd Advanced Settings to Create A Custom Resolution, then put in the refresh rate you should be getting and test, it should work, i had a monitor that did 144hz but it was korean so it didnt readily recognize it, went into nvidia and set it to 1080p at 144hz and boom it worked no problem but there was no option anywhere else.
Missing the flicks shots may also be because you have you tune your mouse sensitivity to adjust to the new refresh rate.
You guys know the AOC AG251 monitors have had these specs since before ASUS announced this monitor? It's also cheaper than the ASUS screen.
Travis Law ???
Travis Law Both 1080p, both 240Hz, the ASUS is 24.5 inch and the AOC is 25 inch. The AOC does freesync whereas the ASUS does GSync, although I'm sure there's a GSync version of the AOC. The AOC is cheap and actually available at the moment, whereas the ASUS' RRP is higher than the AOC sells for and isn't actually for sale anywhere in England yet, if anywhere at all. What facts do I need to check?
TheRebel3000 do you think you can find the AOC version with G-sync? cuz I wanner get that but can´t find it with g-sync anywhere!
Yeah, but Asus.
Travis Law AOC´s 240Hz monitor is the same panel as the Asus in this video! The AOC is just a Freesync version!
Anyone thinking of buying 240HZ, don't. You will regret it.
I used the BenQ ZOWIE 25" LED XL2540 for 3 weeks and I can honestly say that 240HZ isn't that big of a deal. It's not worth it at any point right now. Staying at 144HZ is definitely fine. Going for IPS/VA 144HZ is much smarter if you like good colors.
Right now I'm using Samsung C24FG70 which is a VA panel with 144HZ. No problems whats so ever! Only thing that we still suffer from is some back light bleed on pitch black. But that's just because OLED spoiled us.
Also, found a dead pixel close to center within the first couple of weeks with the Samsung.
I had the Samsung c24fg70. The main problems was BLB and the freesync purple trailing and blue line issues. Really disappointing, as I loved the colors on the panel. Had to return it. Word of warning to anyone interested in buying it.
givemethesantahatfoo yea BLB was horrible. Went back to my benq 120hz. I think I will buy MG24UQ. I remember my first 4K TN, amazing quality only problem was colors and hz. But I will game on the benq and movies etc on the MG24UQ
The purple trailing seems to be a problem with models before october 2016. After that they got a firmware update fixing these issues.
Was BLB really that bad for you? I'm considering to buy this monitor along with some others and I haven't read about massive BLB anywhere yet.
It's not that bad. I mean, how often do you look at pitch black really. It's not a deal breaker. The monitor was amazing! But I shipped that one back as well because of the dead pixel.
I have a TN 120Hz panel right now, so I thought going for 4k IPS is probably the best option right now. I've been trough at least 8 monitors in the high end. From 34" inch monitors back to early 4K TN panels. And the one one monitor that actually left an imprint in my brain is the 4K TN I had 3 years ago. So I think going for 4K IPS will be the best choice when I already have a 120 TN panel. Waiting for the Asus MG24UQ to arrive within a few days :D
P@r@m3d!© the Blb wasn't the deal breaker. It was the fact that I had returned the monitor three times to get a November model. after three returns and 5 hours with Samsung/amazon customer service, I was left with a flawed monitor and utter disappointment. If you want to take the risk, then go for it, but I would wait until they deplete their October models completely, so you don't get scammed. gl
Does g sync work with this monitor
(2070 super for example)
U can get g sync on freesync monitors if they are g sync compatible
I was on an Xbox x just upgraded to a pc getting this monitor and a beast pc can’t wait to see more than 30/60 FPS
XL2540? Linus.....
Twitch_ Zena yea its 240hz legit
Twitch_ Zena benq, asus, acer, and aoc all have the exact same 240hz monitors using the same display model. the only difference is the design
Dank Guy
yea read the title
Twitch_ Zena yeah, read my comment
Hey Linus, What would you say would be better: This 1080p 240hz monitor or asus other 1440p 144hz Monitor. I have a current 4k panel and its just not doing it for me. I have 1 1070 atm Might upgrade to sli
Trum p I would say 1440p 144hz, you get much better ppi and 240hz is overkill and not really noticeable
Trum p get dell 2417 its only like $420
get a 144hz 1440 27 inch and don't look back
seth newman tyty
depends what your priorities are, res or RR. But ya 1440p120-144 is very good choice.
Barber: What haircut u want fam?

Tempo4200 link?
i was about to say that
?
It was in this news article that Linus was slick talking to some dude that ended up stomping the shit out of him. Linus is trying to say it was something else but this article tells the truth...eleccafe.com/tag/linustechtips/
i have autism
I just got cancer
I think these guys died
Sean Cayer so do i
Sean Cayer same the struggle 😫😫😫
K. Ferhan Batıoğlu i have autism and I don't get it lol
Behind u is the part of Luke's "Mad Max" PC :D xD
What matters more when it comes to competitive gaming? Higher resolution, so you can see opponents clearly (like tactical shooters) or higher frame rate? (like Quake)
Does Linus realize he has entire workforce there to help him unbox expensive and fragile stuff?
AlucardNoir That's part of his charm
Thanks for pointing that out. I really should stop trusting google.
For me, I always loved high FPS recording (I play mc pvp). There were 60 FPS recording, 120 FPS, 240 FPS, 360 FPS, 480 FPS, 600 FPS, 720 FPS and 1080 FPS. So 240 FPS would make my dream come true without seeing the blur on recording
Always, thank you for all the work and vid u done with the great information. When-ever i stuck with computer issues, first thing i do is to check on ur UA-cam.
But, this time I had no clue on my recent question for my computer setup, so i carefully ask you with my monitor issue.
I try to buy 32 inch monitor for my gaming and graphic work, but i have no idea which one is better.
(I did little research on 32 inch monitors but most of them don't have tilt or high adjustment and ones does function are just too expensive)
It would be really great if you to reviews on recent 32 inch monitors.
I really hope this happens :)
Always, thank you for ur effort.
In addition, my location is in Korea, so maybe that's the reason why I have lack of options.
Linus tech tips videos are always very satisfying to watch This is because his delivery and enthusiasm in making his videos is genuine. Because of his videos I am know more knowledgeable about pc gaming (which I definitely cherish more than console gaming).
