Very informative video, thank you! It helped a lot choosing my monitor❤
looks so clean man
Nice to see that this channel is back again! :D
It's good to be back in the saddle, and thanks for welcoming me back! Now, let's get to making some great new content!
Thank you for your job and nice review.
Hi! I also plan to connect it to my Zep G15. Can you drop a link of the exact usbc - dp connector you have in the vid? Thanks in advance!
Is it compatible to g-sync when you use usb type-C to dp cable in laptop? Need answer pls
Great video, greetings from Mexico. Any recommended configuration focused on campaign games?
Thanks for the review
How's your monitor holding up? Mine is now displaying a horizontal line on some colors after a little over one year of use.
Thanks for the review Sir! I will be having this monitor in a few days and will also use this monitor for work at night. Do you also have recommended settings for office use to reduce eye strain other than turning on the blue light filter?
Congrats on the new monitor! Yes, you definitely have to set the blue light filter if you're going to be using this at night. A few other useful features would probably by setting gamevisual to sRGB mode, since it also lowers the brightness and image intensity, so you're going to put less strain on your eyes. Also Shadowboost, if you feel like the image has too much contrast in the dark areas. Hope you enjoy your new monitor, and don't hesitate to comment if you have more questions!
@@KevinEvangelista Thanks for the reply sir. More power to your channel!
New subscriber here... I just unboxed 2 of these for a new build of mine. Gr8 job on the video.
I am using the Asus Rog Ally with this Monitor. Its connected via Hdmi and the official Rog Gaming charger dock. The problem i have is, that in AMD Adrenalin Software the Freesync is not supported. Someone know i can solve this? Freesync on the monitor is on.
Someone can write the best setting for this monitor please ? color and response time
Hello! i have this monitor and tried overclocking it to 165hz, when i do it the main monitor in the settings becomes my second monitor and i cannot move my mouse through screens,is this a common problem?
I have just bought this monitor now, amazing and informative video! Thank you :)
How do you feel about it one month later ?
hm price
@@Molluck1worth every dollar
What do u think of it now?
@@razielt1902 it’s one of the most responsive monitors I’ve bought. 10/10

Appreciate it!
What about the Hp Omen 24inch monitor?
How do I use the vesa holes?
Does it do vrr on ps5
please in next videos turn on some more lights, it's really hard to see the monitor..
Can this monitor be mounted onto a desk mount?
Muito bom, parabéns pelo review!
Just ordered in hype good review
any ghosting on the monitor?
how do i get overlock without a display port because i use this monitor with a ps5?
Is it worth it to buy 10k php?
Does fps counter work for ps5?
Does it have a 2.1 hdmi input
Thank u for this amazing video
Get it you guys, just got mine! $130 dollars on Amazon! Amazing for FPS games.. just adjust the settings on the TV , you get 120 fps on the monitor as well as Xbox series S!
what are the best settings for low response time?
yes
The different with Asus TUF VG249Q is just Stand & Plate design?
It seems so-- it's a hardware revision, so there are only minor changes.
Max contrast is - 1,132 : 1 Brightness min - 49 cd/m² ² and max - 279 cd/m² No HDR so no Rec. 2020 or DCI-P3 144hz with HDMI and 165hz with DP VRR - min 20 and max 165 Hz . Apparently VRR doesn't work with PS5 only with Xbox SX imput lag - 3.5 ms
no hdr?
Does 120fps work with the ps5??
@@-ashh. yes
what would u suggest for around the same price
@@donted2391 I don't know, I have ASUS TUF monitors ( one is 4K and the other is Full HD ) and I'm extremely happy with it
when i mount vesa the back of the monitor is curved forward the bottom holes are ok but the upper ones i had gap and i needed to press when screwing the screws is that normal i didn't have any spacers
It’s just an unfortunate part of the design. Mine is the same. Just don’t over tighten. It’s a light monitor and the mount will hold fine. Get them snug but then stop.
I just wanted to buy myself a monitor for Christmas but I do not know which one to choose. I have my eye on 2 monitors and I have a dilemma which one to choose. one of the monitors is LENOVO Legion Y25-30 and the other is ASUS TUF Gaming VG249QM1A. I would be very grateful if you could help me.
I would choose the Y25-30 over the VG249Q. The lenovo monitor has a higher refresh rate at 280hz compared to the Asus Monitor and its bigger in size too. Both panels are ips displays which are both good but the asus is smaller than the lenovo, its really preference. do you prefer a 24.5 inch monitor or a 23.8 inch asus monitor?
Msi G244f o this?
My ASUS tuf monitor is only showing 144hz on a 165hz monitor so I’m wondering if I can use custom utility resolution software to overclock it to 165hz since the monitor does support it or just get a usb c to display port adapter what are your thoughts
The monitor settings have an overclock toggle. But only DP will reach 165, maximum of 144hz on HDMI
Hi! I just got this monitor and I'm wondering if the overclock would void my warranty. Also would it lessen the lifespan of the monitor if I always have it overclocked?
hi! just figured id let you know, in most cases overclocking isnt covererd in the warranty, if overclocking damadges the product some companys are okay with refunds as-long as you bought it whithin the past 90 days, but if i were you personaly i whouldnt risk it.
Hi Sir, Im using Acer Nitro 5 laptop, is this support DP by using type USB type c - DP? hope you can reply to this. Thank you in advanced.
Hello! I was able to use this with a DP to USB-C cable with no problems.
How do you think if its needed to to overclock up to 165 hz from 144 hz and how it really is better or not while Im playing Apex legends only?
Just use the displayport
Hello! I hope you can reply to this. I plan to connect this monitor on my Asus Tuf gaming A15, but it doesnt have display port, it has hdmi and type C port. What cord should I buy so I can play with 165 hz using my gamig laptop
Hello! Upon checking the specs, the ASUS TUF A15 supports displayport out via USB-C, so I would suggest that you get a USB-C to Displayport 1.4 cable to make the most out of this monitor. Hope this helps!
@@KevinEvangelista Thank you so much sir!!
thank you@@KevinEvangelista
When i go into my settings, all of the settings are grayed out except for brightness, input select, language, power key lock, key lock, power setting, osd setup information and the all reset i dont know what i am doing wrong. I have it set into hdmi into my PS5
It also shows what you have mentioned for me as well? Not sure what the problem is, just recently got the monitor.
@@FrostBite87 I learned I had to take it out of power saving mode. Once I took it out of that power saving or power conserving thing it asked me, it unlocked everything

Well I'm confused what to chose btw asus vg249q1a or Lg ultragear 27gq50f , in my country bouth same price . Pls any one can help
AOC 24G2SPAE/BK
I'd go with the Asus it has faster response time Also the Asus has an ips panel which is better than a Va panel.
The asus panel also come with a lot more features for the price and with the use of a mount is very good
Thank you all of you , i buyed the new aoc 27g2sp and it's fantastic
Can it work with ps4 if I connected it through HDMI cable ?
Yes! It's advertised to work well with consoles.
Tol pede ba to sa hdmi tapos 144hz?
I'm considering to buy this monitor for my laptop (Asus TUF Gaming) and wondering which is the best way to connect my laptop?
If your laptop has DisplayPort then use that
i lost my asus monitor power cable and dont know what should i buy ? my monitor say 110v-240v and 165hz what cable should i use 220v is ok ??
literally buy any power cable it doesnt matter.
What’s the best setting when playing on a Xbox XS
Just turn down overdrive and turn off elmb or freesync. Also your maximum refresh/resolution on console is 120 at 1080p so the 144hz or even overclocked 165 are not even possible on console and require a PC and display port.
At what level do you recommend placing the overdrive?
How do I turn up the fps from 60hz to 120hz from the monitor for my ps5?
Did you ever get your answer ? I'm in the same position
@@FreshFadesz15did you figure it out? I can help you guys out.
buying this monitor tomorrow thanks
I'm thinking of buying it too, but on Wednesday. I've read that this monitor has a high incidence of dead pixels. Have you experienced similar problems or not?
@@drive4326 i haven’t experienced any problems at all
For those who have or have used this monitor. I use a 1080p TV and since multiplayer at home is pretty much dead, i’m thinking of buying a monitor. Though, i’m not an expert on monitors and could use a little bit of help. Is this monitor worth it?
Look up the hp x27 or x32 those are amazing
This is worth it but the stem isn’t adjustable
I love this monitor for the price but depends where you will sit. I reccomend a vesa arm mount for the desk to help you adjust its position to what works best.
hey will this make my gpu hotter even tho if i run my fps at the same rate in dragonflight like 120 ?
It shouldn’t
What’s your gpu? If it’s even remotely decent then this shouldn’t be an issue for heating. If it is then you need to look into how you’re cooling your system and what kind of ventilation your case is providing. 120hz at 1080p shouldn’t be an issue.
Thank you. This one or TUF Gaming VG249Q?
this one
Bro have you tried using DP to HDmi on this? Will 165hz work on it?
I wasn't able to try that, but in my experience, DP to HDMI cables will usually only work at 144Hz, because that's a limitation on the HDMI side.
@@KevinEvangelista thanks bro! Maybe my only chance for a better experience is a laptop with bypass via Type C .
Why can’t I change my scaling when I do it it just comes up with arrows and won’t let me change it? (I want stretch res)
SAMEEEE
@@Zefyy100 HELP US DOES ANYONE KNOW?
are the speakers any good, and have they got any bass on them
The speakers are trash. They are very hollow. If you’re getting this for gaming just use headphone and keep the speakers on mute. If you’re getting this to watch media content then even cheap computer speakers that plug into the headphone jack will sound 1000x better than the monitors
Hi there, i just got the same monitor and when i set up everything, i couldn't fit the cable on HDMI ports only for Display Port, this sucks because i am not able to use any features for the monitor i bought as well as for brightness since i can only get up to 50%, please let me know what should i do, myb i need to buy a HDMI cable?
please construct your statements more clearly next time, you are confusing. Display Port is the better port as the 165Hz refresh rate is only available in that mode.

This one or AOC 27G2SPAE ? help me
This one or lg ultragear 144hz 24 inch ?
Kind of personal preference but tech wise the ips panel on this monitor is better than the va panel on LG. Ips offers better colors and viewing angles and for me it also feels brighter.
Is nvidia work with it ? I mean does it have a match with g-sync ?
I'm asking this question too
@@wayrobeats yes It has Nvidia technology G-sync , I got one
@@bh7sz thx bro I just order it
yo im also a bit confused it says Freesync on the box but does it really work with g sync? just wanted to make sure
@@dareedox Im not a expert on the matter (i was looking this up cause Im buying a monitor rn too lol) but apparentely, modern monitors (like the one in question) are adaptive sync compatible. Meaning if the monitor have freesync compatibility, it's also works with g sync.

You might want to turn on ELMB or Overdrive to reduce image blur.

@@jasonmarsh6881 you might have to switch modes.

How is this monitor compared to something like a gigabyte g24f and between them both which one would you get?
i was just about to ask this
@@_notme_- I got the the g24f and it's good
Does the monitor have built in speakers
Yes!!! 👍
But they stink. So better off grabbing some speakers to plug in or decent headphones if you’re gaming on it.
hello i have this monitor but i cabt click the overclocking
Are you in power saving mode? If you are then turn that off. If you’re not then are you playing on a console or PC? And if you’re on PC are you using display port? If you’re on console then your max is 120hz so you can’t overlock at all. And if you’re on PC but using hdmi then you’ll be capped at 144 and once again can’t overlock.
How do you turn it on? 😂
Can you still get 165hz with a hdmi to display port adapter
Right I’m having the same problem
Does it support 120 fps on ps5?
Yes, it supports 1080p 120Hz output from the PS5 via HDMI.

The GTG response time is but that’s just a selling point for people who just see the number. Its MPRT is closer to 4-5 ms I believe. Which is a better metric for actual gameplay.

Yes
any monitor that allows 120hz refresh rate can run 120hz on next gen consoles.
Does it work with Xbox series s
It should
Yes. But your max refresh will be 120. So none of the 144 or overlocking applies.
Will I get 120hz/fps on Xbox series s?
Yes just got recently for mine and looks great. Gotta play with the the picture settings though
is this Good for Pubg games
Does this work on ps4 tho
It’s a monitor. It “works” on anything you plug in via hdmi. You just won’t get some of the highest settings bc your system is holding you back.
Can i get 120hz on ps5 with this monitor?
Yeah
does this monitor have any ghosting?
Yes but I think all low budget monitors have some ghosting. That’s why there’s the overdrive setting to help reduce it
Is this better than VG247Q1A?
Both the same. That's 27inch this 24inch
