Asus VG248QG
Score: 82/100
Sceptre 30-inch Curved Gaming Monitor
Score: 68/100Rankings
The ASUS VG248QG is a 24-inch TN gaming monitor delivering a blistering 165 Hz refresh rate and 0.5 ms response time, making it ideal for competitive esports. Its trade-off is limited color accuracy and viewing angles due to the TN panel, plus modest ergonomic adjustments. Best suited for fast-paced gamers prioritizing speed over visual fidelity.
The Sceptre C305B-200UN1 provides a 30-inch 21:9 ultrawide VA panel with up to 200 Hz refresh and high contrast for immersive gaming. Its low pixel density, limited ergonomics, and modest color gamut make it less ideal for detail-critical work. Targeted at gamers seeking an affordable ultrawide experience.

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 reviews are scarce for this specific model; retailer descriptions emphasize the high 200 Hz refresh rate and FreeSync as key selling points, while a related IPS Sceptre ultrawide receives praise for vibrant colors and smooth performance, suggesting the VA version is positioned as a value-focused high-refresh alternative.
Everyday users highlight the monitor's immersive ultrawide format, smooth high-refresh gameplay, and convenient built-in speakers, but commonly criticize the low pixel density, occasional ghosting in dark scenes, and a basic stand that lacks height or tilt adjustments.
