Professional reviewers and ASUS editors commend the VG248QG for its blistering 165 Hz overclock, 0.5 ms response, and seamless G-SYNC/Adaptive-Sync integration, which together deliver tear-free, ultra-smooth gameplay. They also highlight ELMB and GamePlus features as esports-focused enhancements, while noting the trade-off of a TN panel's limited color accuracy and the stand's minimal ergonomics.
Everyday users love the monitor's lightning-fast response and easy Adaptive-Sync setup, describing it as "blazing fast" and great value for a 1080p high-refresh experience. Common complaints revolve around the TN panel's color shift at side angles, the lack of height or swivel adjustments, and occasional coil-whine or backlight bleed issues.
Professional reviewers note the monitor offers reliable VA performance and solid contrast for its price, but emphasize it is an entry-level model lacking premium features such as higher refresh rates, HDR, and extensive ergonomic adjustments.
Everyday users appreciate the smooth 75 Hz FreeSync experience, the immersive 1000R curve, and the convenience of built-in speakers, while common complaints focus on the soft 1080p image at 27 inches, limited stand ergonomics, modest speaker output, and occasional backlight uniformity issues.
