ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM 24.5" Black
A 280Hz overclockable refresh rate and 1ms response time on a Fast IPS panel eliminate motion blur for competitive edge, while ELMB Sync works simultaneously with G-Sync to prevent ghosting and tearing. Its sturdy ergonomic stand offers full height, swivel, and pivot adjustments, and the DisplayHDR 400 certification provides decent contrast for a 1080p screen. This monitor is best for esports gamers who prioritize frame clarity and speed over higher resolution or color-critical work.
