ASUS TUF VG259QM - An ABSOLUTE MONSTER - Detailed Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 2024
- The VG259QM is by far the best monitor I've ever tested. It has the least amount of motion blur I've ever seen, awesome OSD features and an amazing price. This is a monitor you NEED to put on your gaming monitor list.
WARNING: DO NOT use the pictures I used in the motion blur (Alien) test on any of my currently uploaded monitor reviews, those examples were presented incorrectly. Please use references from a reputable review source such as RTINGS.com. I have educated myself on the proper way of testing monitors and will use the proper test method in all upcoming reviews. I apologize for any issues this may have caused. As a one man team, it's hard to peer review. You guys are my peer review. Thank you to those who pointed out and helped educate me on my mistakes.

UPDATE: The info on the DeltaE of the calibrated display I gave was wrong! I did the test wrong which is why it seemed so bad for a calibrated IPS display. The calibrated display gets a DeltaE of 0.42 which is PHENOMENAL! That is all. Continue.

Loving the videos just subscribed, you explain things really clearly. I was wondering what would be the best monitor for the normal PS4 as I don't game on PC.
Thank you! Well I suggest getting something that’s 120 or 144Hz to future proof for PS5 since you can’t take advantage of that on a PS4. I’m not sure if you can do 120 on PS4 though.
@@BijanJamshidi OK yeah I get that. If I were to get this one say to use it for PC in the future, would it still work alright my PS4 or would it not play well, it would just sync up to the ps4s 60hz right?
@@rudenutt Correct. Any monitor will work up to it's max specified refresh rate. So even if you plug it into something that's not capable of running at that refresh rate, the monitor just won't run faster than the output device can.
@@BijanJamshidi OK thank you for that, much appreciated
That “tuf gaming” at the start was really energetic
Isn't that how they want us to say it? 😛
that was epic
@@jayt4225 You could've done with just saying "tuf" without that last part but, I know what you mean
@@BijanJamshidi they want us says 0:01 😂😂
handsdown the 'BEST review' of any monitor. Mate you really know what you talk about and honest about the product.
Him and hardware unboxed are the only good monitor reviewers
first time seeing you, but the quality of your video, attention to all the details and everything is just insanely good. Subscribed.
Friends, please tell me how to put 1ms of response on it? Is this overdrive or when you overclock hertz, overclocking and response? I didn't quite understand) Thanks everyone in advance)
This channel became my favorite review channel especially for monitors! Underrated 100%.
But I think people would like to see some other gaming stuff reviews also (mouse, keyboard etc.)
Well done man! You definitely deserve more exposure for the quality content you produce. Keep it up brotha
Thank you very much! It’s coming slowly but surely! I’ll get up there one day!

bro u r tooooooo underrated and i loved ur video. plz keep up the good work and continue posting monitor revies. the terms like overshoot and undershoot always puzzled my mind and also i never knew the relation of delta E with numbers. thanx for the informative reviews.
Just bought mine yesterday, arrives Wednesday and this review made me more excited than I already was, so thanks :D
You’re welcome 😁

Hey man was it good?

Can you share your experience?
Im Subbing and this is my first vid I watched. Be proud of your work here.
Appreciate your good quality reviews
Thank you for your review. During the Black Friday I was between that and Acer Predator XB3Q and you solve all my issues. Definitely go for Asus. Tks from Brazil.
ну как показал себя монитор?
I really like to see an honest reviewer who does post corrections afterwards even if no mistakes were caught before uploading. Also, I like your style, have an extra like and subscriber on me!
I felt that plug, hahaha XD.
Great and conclusive review!
BTW with the new consoles rolling out soon, it would really be helpful if you made review a on the best monitors that would display great on both PC and Console, especially with how HDR is in focus right now.
I just got my AW2521HF yesterday and it's great for both!
I’ll do that once the PS5 comes out 😉
Also, thank you very much!
You got my sub you spunky guy you! Digging the depth of the products you review and compare!

Great review, I have this monitor, couldn't agree more!
@Tomer Rubin Hey, just want to ask if your monitor refresh rate also changes when playing? Cheers!
@@ecoins908 what do you mean? I know the refresh changes depends on my fps in game, maybe because of the g-sync.
bro it would be really nice if you can answer my question. ist 24 inch too small or do you think that is enough
@@choepix4392 In my opinion, 24 inches is the sweet spot for gaming, more than that and you would have to move ur head to see ur full screen.
@Tomer Rubin r there a lot dead pixels?
Great content like always,
I'll check it out as soon as it become available on Amazon,
Keep making great and detailed content!
Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. I was lucky enough to wait until the price went back to $319.00 usd. I was very fortunate to grab it for $259.00 before taxes. Your video was definitely inspirational in me moving from 60htz to 240-280htz. It will be coming in the mail Sunday (today). I’m excited to start to use this amazing monitor immediately.
Where did you get this monitor so cheap? How do you like it im considering getting one. Thanks

Just bought this monitor. I was a monitor noob and previously got an Asus TN 144hz monitor. This was such a big improvement! IPS has way better colours and viewing angles.
Thanks, Im buying to my sons 10yr old birthday. Good to know, that its a good choice. :)
Lene Voetmann he’ll be a happy kid :)
Also way lower contrast and glowing blacks ;)

Great video again! Would have loved to see a calibration guide or your settings to get the best display settings possible on the monitor tho! Otherwise keep it up!
Thank you! Unfortunately it's not usually the best idea since every panel won't perform the same and if I gave my .ICC profile, it could either make the display slightly better, or worse. But not as good as what I got.
Bijan Jamshidi aah good point!
oef! that ufo image made me trippy.
Your reviews are impressive, so perfectly made video, and good info. we need more reviews like this.
aThis review is amazing I was thinking about upgrading from my laptop to a full on pc and i have the build all ready and i needed a monitor and this helped me decide
Mine arrives in 2 days and this review made me feel even better about buying it! This was an awesome review!
ikr. can’t wait for mine too!!
Thank you very much! Hope you guys enjoy it 😁
Where do you buy it?
Do you like it?
Where did u buy it?
I still bought this monitor back when you did the 27 inch review along with the other three monitors. For the price performance, you can’t say no to it.
I may have to re-review the 27 inch model. They probably use different panels but my testing was for sure flawed back then. As I gained more experience, I realize that. I’ll see if I can grab another one of each of those monitors, but don’t know if I can.

Is your monitor still holding up?
would u recomend this for xbox series x
Just signed into this account. I was with that monitor for 3 years and nothing ever broke (if you take care of it). Just got a 1440p monitor and its soo much better as in experience. Id recommend that@@RubberAndLiquor
Thanks a lot for this awesome detailed review.
Just Watched the other video of you comparing this to the Alienware AW2521HFL . Just wanted to drop a like, comment, and letting you know im watching both separate videos. Thanks for making these!
Getting this but won’t be until August, going from 59hz to 240-280hz lol. Also this video is very well put together and a lot of information given, you deserve way more subs!
Good luck tell me how it is I play on 60 and am thinking of buying it.
@@judeyy im deabating either this or a 1440p ips 144hz.
How is it so far?
great review just bought the monitor, i bought the vg259q 144 hertz and after checking out this review i cancelled the vg259q and got the vg259qm, keep up the great work you're gonna blow up one day with reviews like this and after watching this review i decided to binge all your videos im gonna say, all are very informative and once again thank you.
What's the difference between the Q and the QM?
@@ASA_1347 if I remember correctly the q is 144hertz and the qm is 240 Hertz
I like how you included a lot of info.
Great video but still waiting on the aw2521hf review! keep it up!
Great review!
Had the vg279qm @ launch felt too big, and pixels were way too big. will try this one out now, ppi should be abit better also the size more suitable.
Did you change it?
i agree, i have the vg279qm qisda panel and i also think that the ppi is not the best...Its ok though. For gaming and movies i cant complain.
This was an amazing review.
is racing mode the ideal mode for content consumption and video editing?
You know so much about monitors! Subbed!
Thank you!
nice review. keep up the good work
I'm watching this with this monitor. its soo good. nice that i finally switched from 144hz to higher rates
Do you use 280 or 240 on that monitor, is it good? im looking to get it
@@Champion7581 280hz
what rate are you using with it looking good?
Hey man I just recently found your channel through the TH-cam algorithm haha and I'm enjoying a lot of your reviews you're putting out. Thanks to you I'm really thinking of buying this monitor I was wondering if there's any difference between the 24 inch and the 27 inch. Unfortunately the 24 inch is all sold out. Should I just go for the 27 inch? You earned yourself a new subscriber man! Keep it up!
I’m not sure if the 27 inch is the same. I did a review a long time ago on it but my testing methods for ghosting were terrible back then compared to now so I wouldn’t recommend watching that. Otherwise the monitor is identical, just bigger. But the panel might be different.
I bought the 27 inch and came from 24 inch 240hz and it is really good
Thanks for the review. Bought this monitor for my planned PC build. I think for its price, its a steal!. Subbed for the detailed review. :) most of the reviews related to this monitor are for the 27 inches.
Ye but he sais in 5:58 its 24.5.. is there this option too? I thought its only this one tuf monitor 280hz with 27 inches.. i would like to order one..have at the momeny 23.8 so i would stay in 24inch ..i cant find on the market this one but with 24inch
Thanks for the review
My screen is 13 years old, 60Hz i cant wait wait to get this 😂 thanks for the review!
I have the 27 inch version and I sit an ample distance away from it so I don't deal with dreaded (but negligible IMO) pixel density issue of large 1080p monitors. And yes this monitor is a friggin beast...I'm actually glad I sold me Zowie XL2740 for the VG279QM.
Wud u recommend the 24 inch version or your 27 inch for 80 dollars more?
24 or 27
@@MominShahzad guess it depends on if you cringe at the pixel density at 27 inche vs the 24 inch. I'm happy with my 27 tho
How is the monitor holding? I am thinking to buy it this week!
@@jerinsarmin9905 if you’re still liking 1080P gaming you can’t really go wrong👍🏼
You earned a sub today. Good quality content. I’m strongly considering this monitor in 2023.

Had White screen issues with my Zowie Xl2546S so went ahead and got the Asus TUF VG279QM..jumping from 240hz to 280hz. Playing COD Battle Royale, ADS rendering on snipers was better, flickering is smoother, black equaliser is better than my Zowie. Happy with my purchase, Thanks Asus.
i got vg279qm some months ago.. i was dissapointed because i think zowie is better.. but after i see your comment, im relieved

Great vid. Just bought it--through the link of course :) I was going to wait until the 27/1440/240 monitors came out later this year, but my broken 9 year old monitor just started to annoy me too much. Of course, due to human malware, it still won't be here for a month or two. I figured if I want to go higher resolution in the future, I can turn the VG259QM to portrait (I have limited space for my monitors).
can’t wait to get mine 😄
That carwow ending though. Lol!

Really in depth review! Wanted to see what you knew about a very similar monitor to this - the tuf gaming VG258QM. Advertised same 280 hz with a 0.5 ms response time yet cheaper? Bought this on Black Friday for like $250. Haven’t found any good reviews on it. Thanks again!

Nice video as always. Just got my zowie xl2540 and i love it!
And u deserve much more views and subs
I got a question. You probably know that in some games you can select the refresh rate of the monitor in the settings. If you overclock it to 280hz, is it even going to show up in the game settings or the max it will be 240hz? Hope you get what I mean. ( For example in GTA V you can chose the refresh rate, between 60,144,240. Will the 280hz show up in the menu?) Cause for my 75hz monitor it doesn't show up more than 60hz in the settings in gta v
You should be able to as long as the game supports it. Most will, but some won't. CS:GO, GTA5, Valorant and such should have no issues, but a game like Escape from Tarkov is a different story where you're capped at 120Hz, which really doesn't matter since the game is so poorly optimized in the first place it's impossible to get over 120 consistently.
@@BijanJamshidi At the end of the day if a system is telling you what refresh rate it is running at, it does not mean that is the truth, why on earth would you want any more than 120 hz refresh?

got this monitor, for me it was easier to notice the difference between 240 and 270/280 than 144 and 240 (felt the same but less choppy / same blur)

nice speech bro ... you telling better than other

Amazing review man, exactly what I was looking for! I'm getting ready to pick one up and found it on BB for $319. The model number is slightly different though, VG259QMY. The specs look identical so not 100% sure what the "Y" is about.
I have the exactly same question, do you have an answer now?
As far as I know, there’s no difference. I think the Y model may just be a best buy seller model number.
I spoke with ASUS support, they stated that the “Y” model is the US version and the other model is sold globally. They also said that there are no other differences. I just ordered mine, it will be here in a few days 😁
I bought the Y model from Best Buy and they are 100% identical. Instructions even say VG259QM and OSD menu displays the same
Hi! I'm really enjoying your videos. Just a quick question about the ASUS. In your experience, did enabling HDR turn image yellowish? Thank you.
Bruh keep on reviewing shits like this ur so good
Love these vids, curious as to would you give the edge to the Zowie XL2540K or this Asus for competitive gaming titles such as Cod and Valorant?
As always the best recorce to chose the best monitor keep the great job 😍 I hope you do a review for the lenovo legon the 1440p 240hz
When does it come out? I can't find anywhere to buy it? Looks amazing!
@@BijanJamshidi lenovo y27gq-25 there is 27 and 25 models
You should make chart with monitors specs that you review. For example input lag/responsive time. Or include comparison list for each monitor. for each category for exampe motion blur. Input lag. Color levels. This could be alot easier to compare all monitors while watching one latest video.
I wasn’t able to get input lag. I get those figures from RTINGS but since they haven’t tested this, no info for me. Though I agree a chart would be nice. I will be making some benchmark charts in the future once I figure out how and when it meets my visual standards.
