Asus VG279QM Review, The Best Super Fast IPS Monitor You Can Buy

[@wile123456]

I'm excited for my grandsons birthday in 50 years when OLED gaming monitors with perfect response time and HDR will finally be a thing.

I think your grandson would say: "OLED-what?" "It is a screen technology for home use" "Oh, grandpa, you sweet old man, you mean that ancient technology from before the 2040's? We don't use that anymore, we have our augmented contact lenses."

[@branchprediction9923]

Not perfect response times, but hella fast. But almost black transitions are slow though and u see black smearing.

[@Djoki1]

Me, still having a 10 year old, HD Ready monitor... I feel like the built-in speakers are the most useless thing in any recently released monitor thats above $150

[@partyjerk]

@Josh Wallace my aoc 24g2 is the version with extra speakers and a usb hub... didnt cost more. it is an okay extra, yeah the speakers are shit, but they are an extra

[@JackMott]

built in speakers are something I appreciate, since I always use headphones and don't want a set of speakers cluttering things. So when occasionally I want my wife or kids to be able to hear, flipping to some shitty monitor speaker is perfect. The actual useless feature is probably the extra 40hz, given the already small to non existent benefit of going from 144 to 240

[@fVNzO]

I use my built in speakers all the time on my asus MG279Q. They come in handy for youtube viewing when just sitting about eating lunch or casually watching content. I'll use my headphones otherwise but the speakers are very nice to have.

[@MarkLangdahl]

I guess the speakers are there to support consoles for people who don't have a TV. It is sort of a gimmick. But to me it is a welcome one even with the crap quality.

[@easley421]

@@fVNzO Soooo terrible though. It was one of the features I looked for when I bought my monitor and they're basically useless. Zero bass, zero treble all mids. I laughed so hard the first time I heard them.

[@TSLMachine]

I think that the idea behind 27" 1080p monitors, despite the pixel density concern, is that compared to 24-25" panels, you can put 27-inchers farther away from your face to produce the same effect while being more easy on the eyes for longer game sessions. I use a 27" 1080p 165Hz monitor (Asus VG278QR) and I have to say, playing for 8 or so hours straight doesn't make my eyes feel fatigued at all and I've been doing that pretty consistently since the start of quarantine here.

[@snowdawn]

I agree. I have both an LG 27 inch 1080p IPS 144hz and an AOC 24G2 with 24 inch ips 1080p 144hz. I mainly use Lg 27 inch and prefer it. The pixel density does not bother me at all. Plus my gaming Pc can run games easy 1080p res.

I have the 24.5'' VG259QM version of this and I love it. When I first ordered it, got one dead pixel but seller replaced it very fast with no questons asked and been loving it ever since. No other issues at all. Chose it over this just because of better ppi. 😎💪🏻

Not only do I feel good about my purchase, I can't wait to see what you can teach me about it! Yay! :D

[@repmx]

Monitor manufacturers should feature an "adaptive" overdrive option that adjusts for the best overdrive at each refresh rate.

[@TheThunder168]

Thats pretty much what Monitors with an actual Nvidia Gsync Module can do. They adjust the overdrive impulse based on your refresh rate. Sadly Freesync monitors do not have that kind of feature.

[@MLWJ1993]

G-sync? 😋

[@branchprediction9923]

@@TheThunder168 its not an g sync exclusive feature. Some freesync monitors have it. Its extremely difficult to make for the vendor. Thats why going for gsync (which already has it) can be easier but ofcourse more expensive aswell.

Upgraded to this from benq xl 144hz. Was plesently surprised by the image quality and clarity. I use ELMB in csgo and it does make things more clear. Also the much better contrast was a surprise. to my eyes 27 inch 1080p is fantastic and i can't see individual pixels from 20cm away. with 24 inch i had to put my face right in front of the monitor when playing csgo. Only thing missing is automatic monitor profiles. It would have been nice to have automatic profiles to each game.

[@MetalPhantom1984]

ELMB @ 240/270Hz might've interesting to test, given ELMB locks the OD @ 80 and seemingly anything below 200Hz in this case has noticeable overshoot with this model, hence why I guess the 144Hz here has the inverse ghosting and crosstalk. For whatever reason, the 280Hz ELMB not much clearer than the 280Hz with OD 80/ 140HZ ELMB seems a bit clearer overall, safe for the artefacts. This makes me wonder whether 240/270Hz might've yielded a better result. Sadly, with fixed refreshes 165, 180 and 200 are not options. Unless you're using VRR + FPS Limiter or something.

The main thing that bothers me about the G7 models is the 1000r curve. I can see it working well with the G9 ultrawide, but it just seems excessive for a 16:9 panel, the 32" might be better, but it's just not needed on a 27". I changed from a curved Samsung VA panel to the LG 27gl850 a while ago and I think I prefer the flat panel over the curved Samsung (the panel tech itself is hands down better, the flat vs curved thing is a bit more subjective) I'd be interested to see how it works out though, if it can genuinely compete with top end IPS panels in terms of response times then it could be quite good, my LG doesn't deal with blacks as well as my old VA Samsung did, that's about the only thing I miss.

its personal preference mate. ive been rocking dual 27" 1080p monitors for years and theyre fine for me. have a 4k tv for dick waving in the lounge.

[@namtrieunguyen7630]

@@klontjespap the problem is not just pixel density but also viewing distance. You normally sit a lot further away from a TV comparing to a monitor. That's why a 27 inch 1080p monitor is not a good idea.

[@EKG14]

Just ordered the VG259QM. 240 Hz is an amazing experience, 280 should be an awesome step up!

[@unknownrandom7836]

Can u tell u experience with input lag and sharpness? I want it order too

Oh boy, I can't wait to pair this monitor with a 4700X on my B450 motherboard!

[@Erujj]

@White_CIS Internet_Males awesome!!

[@vilius230]

11:35 you just got a bad panel I think. aperturegrille.com/reviews/ASUSVG279QM/ this review goes pretty in depth and the results were better. Panel variance I guess.

[@ryusei9941]

Even if he got a bad panel that means you can get one too so it seems fair not to test the 1 out of 100 that's the best

[@Baorihs]

He is best monitor reviewer by far imo. All other youtubers dont cover lots of important things in such deep

[@Erujj]

@6:50 Sorry for the noob question.. Would appreciate if someone could help.. You mentioned left with 2 settings OD 80 best at higher refresh rates and OD40 at lower refresh rates. Does it mean I should turn off G sync and use OD80? I purchased this mainly for CSGO and get more than 300fps in that game (other games fps range vary of course).. What would you recommend the best settings for CSGO in terms of response time? Should i keep gsync off or on? with OD 80?

1080p on a 27" monitor feels too pixelated

This is a great monitor I've had it for a month now. Modern Warfare crashes sometimes when I have the monitor overclocked to 280hz but its been perfectly stable at 240hz, which is still more than enough.

becouse freesync is AMD branding and amd hijacked it in the first place kinda becouse the tech behind it actually is VESA Adaptive-sync ofc amd has also made it work with HDMI what is a good thing.

micro led will be the next thing and looking at more loacal dimming zones + better colours id be alright with it if we get decent Strobing options havent had good strobing since crt

Waits for them to solve the OLED burn in issues, and color deterioration before I jump on that bandwagon.

[@axaro1738]

@Hardware Unboxed , the VG259QM this monitor is 10 bit if you set the refresh rate to 144 or lower, only 240-280hz mode is 8 bit (no 6+FRC, true 8 bit at the two higher refresh rates)

[@mercaderrifty6709]

Do you know if the VG259Q is 10 bit?

[@andrewheavenridge3099]

It's not the best just based on the specs. 27" should be at 1440p.

[@Trainmaster909]

Andrew Heavenridge thank god they offer a 24” version!

[@JL-ix5io]

Who plays 1440p at 240hz? Why limit your customer base? That's bad business.

[@FireDiamond4]

There is a 24" version, the VG259QM which is the same monitor I think atleast according to the specs it is and it's cheaper

[@Triannosaurus]

1080 looks fine on 1080 for gaming, and competitive gamers don’t play 1440 because they’d rather have the additional 100 frames available....

[@Derosier.]

Would love to see you test Alienware’s 240hz “true 1ms” response time line up.

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

Monitor makers: Give me a freaking 2560x1080 240hz IPS display, please thank you. And go and tell Valorant and Overwatch they should allow 21:9 monitors so you can start selling 21:9 240hz monitors to everyone.

[@Neekzu]

With DisplayPort 2 you can have 3440x1440 @240hz IPS :D

[@Tofuey]

I'm fine with most competitive games being stuck at 16:9.

[@aneeshkalla5462]

That wouldn’t be fair to people with 16:9 because you would be getting a higher fov.

[@rossharper1983]

Why Valorant and Overwatch? Should be appealing to games with higher player bases.

@@rossharper1983 because are very popular games with big playerbases. And they happen to be the two that don't support 21:9 for balance reasons.

@@battmarn what? Cities: Skylines demands twitch-button-reflexes to properly construct a highschool. Anything below 100fps is unplayable.

[@DumbWithDom]

@@westbrooke1174 you don't need to reach the target fps to benefit from higher refresh rates. It's how a 30 fps movie looks smoother on 144 to 280. Yeah target fps is really nice for your raw input from mouse to monitor but honestly I have 60 hz and just having 144 and reaching 60 fps easily is superior than just 60 on 60!
