Super fast

incredible how little ghosting we can see. No need to overclock, at 240 it feels really good. I feel like the jump from 120 to 240 is actually really noticeable, but the low input lag makes it one of the best gaming monitors there is. PROS: EVERYTHING CONS: sometimes gets locked into 144hz when falling into sleep mode, and doesnt revert to 244 until I power off and on the monitor... Also the sort of "joystick" used to control the settings menu feels like it's not gonna last. I have another similar screen and it's all loose so I'm scared this one will do the same.

Great overall monitor

The colors look good for the money. No issues regarding response time. 144Hz plays like butter. Overall, the monitor works great for all sorts of use cases.

Excellent Display - Audio Not So Much

I am completing this review expecting to receive a 90-day warranty extension from ASUS. I replaced an aging 27 Inch IMac with a Mac Mini and bought the VG289Q Display. It is a great display. But the speakers are weak. I bought a set of desktop speakers for better sound, and so that I can control the sound through the Mac keyboard. I find the adjustment process somewhat confusing, but I finally figured it out by poking around. The indicator light is on the lower right hand corner, facing DOWN (?). You cannot see whether it is on/off/standvy without bending over. So I glued a small clear plastic cap (about ?" thick) over the light so I could see the status without craning my neck. Now I'm happy!

This monitor is the best for your dollars, it has gsync, 1 ms IPS! (You get the color and speed) and the build quality is fantastic!

Great Monitor

This is one of the best monitors I have every had. This is the first Asus monitor I have bought and I will never go back. The monitor I was using before was an acre predator but this is way better 10 out of 10.

Crisp Display

I purchased this with a gaming desktop, hoping that it would be a good pairing. It turned out to work GREAT! Everything looks crisp and runs smooth.
