The Asus VG259Q is a great pick if you’re serious about gaming and want something that can pull double duty for other tasks. The 280Hz refresh rate and IPS combo are hard to beat, and it’s built like it’ll stick around for a while. Sure, the price stings a little, and the backlight bleed can be a nitpick, but for me, the pros outweigh the cons. I’ve loved every minute of gaming on it—and honestly, even binge-watching shows looks better than I expected. If you’re ready to tweak it to perfection, this monitor’s a solid upgrade.
Pros: 280Hz refresh rate: Makes games feel incredibly smooth, especially fast-paced ones like shooters or racing games.
IPS panel: Colors look vibrant, and the screen stays clear even if you’re not sitting dead center.
Gaming performance: Handles everything with minimal motion blur—perfect for competitive gaming.
Versatility: Not just for gaming; it’s solid for casual photo editing or movie watching too.
Cons: Backlight bleed: There’s some in the corners, especially noticeable in dark scenes or loading screens.
HDR performance: It’s there, but not amazing—you’ll probably need to tweak the settings to make it look decent.
