Title: High quality product
Review: The ASUS VG258QR is a powerhouse gaming monitor that delivers an unparalleled experience for both casual gamers and esports enthusiasts alike. As an avid gamer, I’ve had the pleasure of putting this monitor through its paces, and it has exceeded my expectations in every aspect.First and foremost, let’s talk about the display quality. With a lightning-fast 165Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time, the VG258QR ensures silky-smooth gameplay with minimal motion blur and ghosting. Whether you’re engaged in fast-paced shooters or exploring vast open worlds, every frame is rendered with stunning clarity and precision.The Full HD 1080p resolution may not be the highest available on the market, but on a 24.5-inch screen, it’s more than sufficient for crisp visuals without sacrificing performance. Additionally, the inclusion of ASUS’s exclusive Game Plus and Game Visual technologies enhances the gaming experience by offering customizable crosshairs, timers, and various display presets tailored to different game genres.One of the standout features of the VG258QR is its Adaptive-Sync (Free Sync) technology, which ensures tear-free gaming by synchronizing the monitor’s refresh rate with the GPU’s frame rate. This eliminates stuttering and screen tearing, providing a buttery-smooth gaming experience without any distractions.Design-wise, ASUS has hit the mark with a sleek and ergonomic build. The ultra-thin bezels maximize screen real estate, creating an immersive viewing experience that pulls you deeper into the game. The stand offers extensive adjustability options, including tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustment, allowing for optimal comfort during long gaming sessions.Connectivity options are abundant, with HDMI, DisplayPort, and Dual-link DVI-D inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. Additionally, the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and dual built-in speakers adds convenience for users who prefer not to use external audio devices.In conclusion, the ASUS VG258QR is a top-tier gaming monitor that excels in performance, features, and design. Whether you’re a competitive gamer seeking the edge in responsiveness or simply want to immerse yourself in breath taking visuals, this monitor delivers on all fronts. It’s a worthy investment for anyone looking to elevate their gaming experience to the next level. Highly recommended.

Title: Very Good Monitor
Review: Improves the smoothness and responsiveness of games. May improve reaction times as you see the real situation slightly earlier than you would have done on a 60hz monitor. The actual frame rate you can get is dependent on the power of your graphics card and the detail you demand in terms of the quality of game rendering chosen in the game settings. The performance is also dependent on the ping or speed of your internet connection. If this is slow the added responsiveness of the monitor may not be fully realised. This monitor gives a good level of brightness and colour contrast. It is only HD, not 4K but at the present time even high end graphics cards struggle to give very high frame rates at 4K. If you are into gaming this monitor is likely to give you a performance edge and currently is probably an optimum solution. If you are into films, word documents and spreadsheets, and or photography, not gaming, then an IPS 4K monitor would be a better choice for pure image quality, providing you have a reasonable graphics card. This monitor is an excellent HD monitor but not as good as 4K monitor for pure image quality. The monitor is easy to set up and use, easy to adjust the settings and has both height and tilt adjustment which is often missing (especially height) in cheaper monitors. You can get 240hz HD monitors but these tend to be more expensive and unless you have really high end graphics cards then you are unlikely to be able to achieve such high frame rates so would not see the added performance benefit which must also be almost beyond what a human could defect in terms of the difference between say 165hz and 240hz. So this monitor is a very well specked monitor for gaming while remaining a good all round monitor in terms of wider use. In terms of quality, performance and value for money for competitive gaming, or enthusiast gaming, this is one of the best performing monitors currently available.

Title: Perfect for gaming
Review: This monitor is a very good choice for anyone wanting a larger 144hz monitor. The swivel and tilt is amazing, allowing a lot more options with less space, and the design is very understated and plain which is quite rare in high refresh rate gaming monitors. With a bit of tweaking I got the colour and brightness to how I like it, but this could obviously vary on a case to case basis. In the box I received a HDMI and DP leads, with a power lead both a UK and European style plug and a male to male 3.5mm audio connector (and also probably one or two minor things I missed out).With NVidia adding this to their shortlist of GSync compatible monitors I would expect the feature to work well, and it does. It’s incredibly simple to use if you have an NVidia graphics card and I have had no issues with the feature.Even the buttons to control the menus have been done well, with each one being easily distinguishable with touch and the marking on the front, as well as having a high quality feeling joystick to move around.I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a 144hz monitor to consider this one, as the only drawback is the 1080p resolution which, depending on your use case, could go completely unnoticed compared to higher resolutions.

Review: Ho acquistato questo monitor solo per le ottime recensioni che aveva e all’inizio non ero per niente contento della scelta fatta. Non mi soddisfava granché la qualità dell’immagine che sembrava essere sempre un po sfocata. Dopo qualche mese ho cercato su internet se ci fossero delle impostazioni migliori per questo monitor e sono rimasto sbalordito. Praticamente tramite le opzioni TRACEFREE e VIVIDPIXEL che si trovano nella sezione immagine la qualità cambia totalmente. la definizione dei dettagli e ottima soprattutto per il costo dell’intero monitor. A me è arrivato perfettamente imballato con zero pixel bruciati. Lo sto utilizzando con una rtx 2060 gigabyte e si vede benissimo. Ha anche il FreeSync per Nvidia.Non so perché ma potevo pensarci prima a cercare qualche impostazione su internet invece di stare un paio di mesi col dubbio di non aver fatto un buon acquisto.
