There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Now, the reason I upgraded from my old monitor is twofold. One, I am mildly autistic with a variety of comorbid disorders, and as such, I am highly sensitive to refresh rates. I can easily tell the difference between 144 hz, 240 hz, and 280 hz. My brain is very different from Allistic (non autistic) people so of course, YMMV.
The second reason, was that if you wanted low motion blur, there was a hard M.E.T.A.: Use lightboost, set the boost to 10%, which ruins colors and makes it dim. I got bored. I couldn't be creative in how I set it up. Use normal 144hz, or use lightboost. That's it.
The VG258QM fixes this issue for me. There are many ways to use it, and some secret ones that you can only learn about on the blur busters' forums under "the official vg259qm owner's thread", which despite being for a sister monitor, has tweaks that work on this monitor as well. I will now list a few of the ways you can use this board, all of which can be mixed and matched to some degree:
1. Use Gsync
2. Use ELMB Sync with gsync or just regular ELMB
3. Overclock your monitor
4, Use 8-bit HDR
5. Use the hidden 240-hz exclusive 10-Bit HDR (with FRC dithering, so it's not "real" 10 bit) via a special hack on the blurbusters' forums using Custom Resolution Utility for more convenient hdr in games
6. Use the top-secret developer menu (blurbusters forums) to enable a hidden Variable Overdrive (OD) setting with optimized output, but glitches your menu text until you reset it
7. Use shadow boost to see in dark corners ingame.
Now, there are some caveats. The HDR isn't the best, so use it only as a special treat. It isn't the main draw of this monitor. The colors are great on sRGB (95% on rtings) but the HDR colors are mid (only 45%.) Another thing is, if you wanna use the ELMB, be sure to use it on the TN panel as the VG259QM IPS panel doubles frames and can't fully support 280hz, despite having a similar firmware to the VG258QM. ELMB is also a bit dim, but you get used to it... at least, I did. The monitor also doesn't let you use HDR and ELMB at the same time, and also locks out brightness control (duh, it uses the backlight to do it in the first place) and ASCR. Also, the screen will go blank for a few seconds when activating an hdr game or an autohdr game (windows 11).
And as a TN panel, the color accuracy and viewing angle are just ok, but are miles better than the vg248qe, and come great out of the box. I'm using the rtings settings with racing profile, 100r, 91g, 93b
And the best part of the monitor is the motion clarity. Even 360 hz panels have smeary frames, but even without ELMB the testufo website looks very clear.
All in all, I highly reccommend this monitor, especially for neurodivergent gamers who prefer to fiddle and not stick to one thing for very long.
Oh, and one last thing. I'm gonna share with you a secret formula.
GSYNC + VSYNC (forced in gpu control panel) + Cap 3 frames below your monitor's refresh rate (277 or 237) + ELMB (optional).
--Picture and color--
I've heard and did my own research on TN vs. IPS vs. VA technologies, and decided that since my previous monitor was a TN, I should stick with that, so I could possibly integrate my new monitor with my old.
Wow, was I in for a shock. For all the noise about how TN washes out colors, and isn't as sharp, or doesn't handle depth well, this monitor was a shock to the system compared to my older model. Side by side, the color depth feels (if not just IS) very true to life, and I hadn't realized I'd been using what looking back seems like a blue filter on my world for a while now.
It's so good, I've had to use references like photos, my phone, and other people to really get my head around it, because I was so used to my older TN.
If you're worried about color depth on a TN type panel? For my experience, this should be a comforting experience.
--Build Quality--
I love this base. I'm not going to use it, since I have a VESA armature for multi monitor, but I still love it. Solid, well made, nicely articulate, and snug once you find a position. If I wasn't using armatures, I'd happily have this on my desk.
--Menus and whatnot--
Standard array of settings, for color, performance, and whatnot. Good depth of choice, once you get used to the scheme of things. Little menu joystick for toggling around, makes navigating less arcane.
Overall, I'm so happy with this monitor, I'm going to get another, or one very similar. Despite having a dual monitor setup, I've had my second one off, as it's older and I can't abide the color difference and lack of clarity in comparison. This really raised the bar.
Needed a new monitor that could do the current max amount of htz/frames it could do for Free Sync as I'm gonna switch to an AMD GPU soon, so I got this.
So far it works BEAUTIFULLY on my PC and is a perfect guinea pig as I'm using a NVIDIA card rn.
The only negatives I can really say with this monitor are mainly the brightness and colors, but it really doesn't bother me as I get used to it.
If you want the HIGHEST end (So far) AMD Freesync/Adaptive Sync monitor out there, then get this!
It's a solid 280 hz monitor. I bought the TN panel version instead of the IPS by accident, but still immensely happy with it, including color performance.
Things I like sturdy base easy to adjust screen up and down and tilt angle. Over all I would recommend this.

La única contra que tiene es que no tiene un programa para PC donde puedas cambiar la configuración de video tiene que ser manualmente con los botones del Monitor, ya he tenido de la marca MSI y es algo practico que ASUS debería implementar.
Fuera de eso todo bien
Llego antes de lo esperado
