Review: Great Product! Gamer Approved! - I now have two of these monitors in my setup, and they’ve been awesome. I was finally able to get a second one recently, and right away I noticed something: the new one looked even better in terms of image clarity and color fidelity. That’s when I also realized that my first unit had developed a small spot of burn-in — a faint purple haze likely caused by my wallpaper and the overclock I have on it. It’s only visible on dark scenes and doesn’t affect daily use, but it’s something I didn’t catch until comparing it side by side with the fresh panel. Aside from that, both monitors are fantastic. The 280Hz refresh rate is buttery smooth, the Fast IPS panel has great color, and the OSD is intuitive. Adjusting the display profiles directly on the monitor makes a big difference — it’s easy to get the image dialed in just how you want it. The newer monitor has been flawless after 6+ months, and overall, both are holding up well, even with overclocking and daily use. If you’re looking for a responsive, high-refresh 1080p monitor with strong build quality, great i/o, and great visuals, this one is still one of the best picks out there. Highly recommend, especially for FPS and competitive gaming.
Review: Great quality and performance - Why did you pick this product vs others?: I already own an older model of this monitor... specifically, three of the smaller ones. I was looking to add more monitors for my wife’s setup. Since I was already familiar with the brand and liked the features of the previous model, we decided to go with these two monitors. They have very smooth height adjustment and rotation. As long as your setup can support it, the refresh rate is fantastic. We did run into some initial issues getting them to perform well, but that had nothing to do with the monitors themselves. Always make sure to check your computer for any manufacturer bloatware or power-saving settings that could drastically affect gaming performance. Now that everything is properly set up, they look great. They’re very bright, and the color depth is excellent. The monitors may look a little yellow in photos because my wife uses a blue light filter, but in person, the display quality is outstanding. Honestly, there’s no downside to these monitors. They’re absolutely awesome.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: the vg259qm keeps going black like its restarting.  Sometimes happening several times per minute.  What is the problem with this monitor?**
A: If it is only for less than 3 seconds and resumes the game and is typically in fight intensive fights. It is most likely your ram timings are to right or not enough voltage to the ram or SoC. Check event viewer for display drivers crashing and relaunching. Mine got so bad Overwatch would crash completely and warzone wouldn’t even load on a 5900x with 2080ti. Would get 399 FPS for 30 min then crash or not even load on CoD WZ. I went from 3800c13 back down to 3800c15 and it  resolves my issue. You’re may differ but I suggest using dram calculator and using the safe present and see if it still does it then. You can also use memtest86 or the ram tester in dram calculator or the one in clock tuner to see if getting whea errors which is ram. When it’s so bad it crashes the display driver and it restarts in game causing that annoying black screen for probably 1.5-2.5 seconds sometimes every hour sometimes every 90 seconds. Hope this helps.

**Q: What is the native refresh rate for this monitor?**
A: 280hz @8bpc with OC, 240hz @8bpc w/o OC, ~230hz @10bpc (customized refresh rate), 240hz @10bpc (with lcd or exact reduced using the program “CRU”) 
~260hz @10bpc (Max potential refresh rate with 10 bit color enabled, using “CRU” to lcd reduce, and setting a custom refresh rate)
 
All of this is for DisplayPort connection, HDMI tops out @240hz max.

**Q: Is this monitor overkill for the ps5?**
A: Yes, you could probably find a cheaper 1080p monitor with 120-144hz.  The PS5 will never be able to achieve the frame rate this monitor is capable of.

**Q: How is the vg259qm compared to the aw2521hf? any issues running 144hz/240hz instead of the full 280?**
A: **UPDATE** I do wanna point out that the Asus VG259qm has much high input lag when you set the fixed refresh rate of 60hz, however running 144hz, 165hz, 240hz, and 280hz, and dropping FPS in game with VRR @60fps should be noticeably better. I do not recommend console gaming on the ASUS, however the Alienware should do fine with 60hz, 120hz, and 240hz.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good monitor
*by D***O on November 12, 2025*

I've been using it for a couple months now and I feel like this is good. I stayed 1080p because I did not want to lose FPS on a 1440p. The HDR is oversaturated or unnatural so I keep that off, but that is on most monitors anyways. "Turbo mode" on the monitor's setting can cause flickering so I keep that at a 0. You can run up to 240Hz without "overclocking" the monitor so I keep it at that and vsync in nvidia to 235 to avoid screen tearing. The monitor's height adjustment is great, build quality is great, and it looks good. My only gripe is the cable it came with seems cheap. I went ahead and got a 2.1 display port cable and all is good. The biggest plus is this is a IPS monitor, way better then TN or VA screen types.
