My Honest Review on ASUS VG248QG Gaming Monitor Review with Specification
My Honest Review on Asus VG278QR Gaming Monitor
Straight out of the package, very pleased with the display. It’s been included in a new episode of Linus Tech Tips, and I’ve managed to find it even cheaper than the price I’ve just seen (~$800). The real MSRP is in the region of $450, so don’t get ripped off if you’re looking at this monitor as an alternative. It’s not a $800 monitor, but it’s not a slouch either.
Assembly was dumb, simple. Connect the frame, insert the power, plug the HDMI or DP cable, and you’re in business. The only grip I have at this stage is that the IO ports on the back are a little closer to the backplate display. Originally, I was going to use a Cable Matters DP cable that had locks on it, but the thicker plug I wanted to use the cable that came with the display. It was also really challenging to get the cable to press on the display owing to the same tight tolerances. It was eventually placed in order, and the monitor fired up.
Ran the Heaven benchmark to change the parameters to where I needed them to be, and also to see how the display works. At first, there was a bit of flashing. Windows Monitor settings were opened and Hz was maxed at QHD, and it seemed to significantly minimize it, but there was always a teeny bit of zig zagging in the shadow boundaries. I noticed the OC alternative in the Monitor menu, and that instantly fixed the problem. I also followed up by maxing the Hz selection under both Windows Display and Nvidia Control Panel settings, but I didn’t look back.
I was able to OC the display using Nvidia at 165Hz, and I had zero flickering or stuttering. Color I was impressed! I know the Asus VG278QR display is being sold at 155Hz, but being able to drive it past that is a good bonus.
The role of the ELMB is also pretty awesome! The picture is buttery smooth, and I can read text on the windows when driving about. I wouldn’t have claimed that it’s crystal clear, but it’s certainly cool!
IPS Screen looks great sitting next to my 4K IPS display as well, the colour of the two default settings is quite close, the brightness is almost the same.
I want the backlights to hang on to the money more than the other display I’ve ordered. If something shifts or this display stops, I’m going to edit this review, but I believe ASUS hits the nail on the head for this one. Really excited with the Asus VG278QR monitor!
