This is the one you want. Ridiculous refresh rate, surprisingly large for the price and superb quality. Perfect for opening CS GO cases

This monitor seems to have a special sku but the menu seems to think it's a VG259QM. Mine came in what looks to be the original retail packaging which from previous reviews I was not expecting. Currently I'm waiting on a few more components for my PC to really test out the 240-280hz. My Xbox One X recognized VRR immediately which was nice. I included a picture of the power cord which had slipped out of the bag and had some Styrofoam almost glued to it but after some careful scraping it came off. I examined for dead pixels and this one seems to be all good to go. The adjustment mechanics seem like they are really good quality coming from a lower end model. It goes higher and lower than my AOC monitor and the rotation 90 degrees feels solid as it seems to lock in place. I've been looking at this model online through various sites and this is by far the best pricing for it. I would highly recommend.

Best Monitor I had for the size, great picture plus smooth image on games. Buying my 2nd one.

No words. I upgraded from a 144hz 27 inch TN panel and the IPS is waaaay better. For Competitive gaming especially high frames, this 280hz is the SHIZ. 11/10 recommend to anyone. I get 300 frames on Valorant so this is a must have! If you’re wanting the upgrade and don’t think this is worth it, click the order button don’t be scared.

I love this awesome monitor, but the panel lottery is real. After months of research and a few false starts, I finally found the perfect display for my dual-monitor gaming/work setup. What else did I look at? I also tried a 34" curved ultrawide from LG, but the curve made me feel nauseated when using it for work. It also had a stuck pixel. That went back to Amazon. The top 24" budget pick from AOC felt absurdly cheap with horrible backlight bleed. Likewise, one of the two displays I received had a dead pixel. With a replacement out of the question until March, I wasn't waiting that long for something I didn't even like. Again, back to Amazon. My search eventually led me to the ASUS VG259QM, which I got from Best Buy. Because I use this setup for both gaming and work, it's important that the displays are comfortable with strong color performance and exceptional uniformity. I also have limited desk space, so dual 25" monitors is literally the biggest I could do. Likewise, these were going to be mounted to a dual-monitor stand, so they couldn't have a "chin" that would prevent them from being pushed flush together. The GOOD news: my search is over. I love this monitor. The display I'm using now is phenomenal with no serious issues and great black uniformity. While there's significant IPS glow in the corners (unavoidable, really), I don't notice any backlight bleed around the edges, nor any dead/stuck pixels. I liked the colors out of the box, but I also admit they need some tweaking. I also love 240hz more than expected and don't think I could ever go back to a slower display. It's been great for gaming and work alike. Awesome build quality, too. The monitor feels sturdy and was easy to set up. There's even a trick to get it to run 10-bit color using CRU. Now for the BAD news... I'm still trying to lock in an acceptable replacement for my second screen. The first had a small, dark spot in the upper half of the screen (see pics). Not a dead pixel, it looked more like a piece of dirt or dust got caught under the anti-glare coating during manufacturing. This was in addition to moderately distracting backlight bleed, so that was too many serious issues for one display. I ordered a replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement had the same "dust speck" issue as the first, only much worse, with two or three specks on the display that were noticeable on a light-colored background. I'm now waiting for a second replacement to get here, this way I can (hopefully) close the book on this setup. Each of my displays were manufactured in December 2020, so it's possible a couple bad eggs made it into that batch. Here's hoping my next replacement is my final replacement, with performance as good as the display I have in front of me right now. If that winds up being the case, I couldn't be happier. Overall, I recommend the VG259QM, but check your screen carefully when you get it.
