ASUS VG248QE

Advantages: Very fast matrix and well-implemented status indicator that at night does not blink to the whole room like a beacon.

Disadvantages: Disgusting speakers that are not suitable even for communication on Skype.
Also, the HDMI connector does not support a sweep above 60Hz, so to enable 120-144Hz you need a DVI dual link cable or DisplayPort.

Comment: Monique completely for games. The picture in games is smooth and fast, no moving grain of sand can hide between frames and be unnoticed.
I only use monitor speakers for calling Skype and system sounds (via DisplayPort).

Advantages: Good picture. Non-touch buttons. The inputs are dvi and hdmi. Very comfortable stand. Matte screen.

Disadvantages: Strange factory setting. Glossy case.

Comment: Immediately after enabling the menu, the splendid mode must be switched to standard. And the brightness is much lower. The faded picture turns into a normal one.
I really liked the stand - it turns around the vertical on the table and the monitor can be rotated 90 degrees.
I do not like gloss - the body is immediately covered with traces. Well, okay, thank you, that the screen does not glare.
Expensive, of course.
This is my first widescreen monitor, until recently sat on 4: 3. I'm getting used to.

Advantages: The frequency is -144Hz and the response is 1ms (gray to gray), if anyone needs an obsolete but not dead yet - 3D.

Disadvantages: Bad factory and inconvenient manual settings. Personally, I have in the upper right corner, where there was a paper sticker, barely noticeable stripes - do not interfere - but this is a minus.

Comment: The monitor is for games (game graphics and response at a height), but this monitor is not for work and fans to surf the Internet.
The settings are certainly individual for everyone, for me - Standard, Brightness-35-40, Contrast - 80, TraceFree - 80.

Advantages: - 144 Hz
- 1 ms response + TraceFree
- NVIDIA 3D Vision + Boost (excellent brightness when playing in 3D)
- Flexible screen settings at the IPS panel level
- Nice design and convenient installation on the table

Disadvantages: The standard monitor settings were invented by demons who wanted to blind the looking man. Healing - full screen calibration by setting the panel.

Comment: Undertook to replace the old ACER GD245HQ (120 Hz 3D).
At first, I didn’t like the colors, but the boiling up article on the English-language website calibrated everything as it should.

ATTENTION! Do not put the calibration settings on Overclockers.ru! Whether they messed up there, or something, but the settings are just acid - horror.
Here are the optimal, sparing eyes, settings with a great natural combination of colors. (Thanks to the American resource for these parameters)

Mode: STANDARD
Contrast: 80
Brightness: 20
Color: ARBIT
--96--
--98--
--88--
TraceFree: 40

I hope you find this useful. Personally, the Americans saved me from transferring the monitor back to the store. It turned out that the monitor is still suitable, and the colors are very, very - higher praise. The main thing is to set these parameters here.
Good luck.

Advantages: Matte screen. There are no highlights at the edges. Pixels are crisp. (I compare with my old monitor the same resolution - heaven and earth). Very pleased with the contrast. Vertical scan - 144Hz (declared). Actually 120.
Of the fine delicacies can distinguish the cable holder on the back of the monitor.

Disadvantages: 1. In my opinion, the control buttons could be made a little softer.
2. For those who are going to rotate the screen 90 degrees: clamps - no. After turning the screen you have to visually align the horizontal.
3. Still, if you stretch the gradient to full screen, the waves will be visible. So for printing and arts it is better to look for an ips-s matrix. The rest will never notice.
4. The backlight is really bright. Standard modes are hell and not for humans. You have to spend time on manual configuration.

Comment: Not bad for a TN monitor. The stock of brightness and contrast at the monitor rolls over. Maybe I'm too picky, but all of the box modes go with such brightness that it is simply impossible to watch from a distance of one and a half meters. I had to make a custom setting.
Movies look great.
Well, if you stretch the r-ratio to full screen, then the strip, of course, you can notice. However, in real life no one will notice.

Advantages: Hello! So, the review is long, but informative. Experience comparing two 3D monitors. As well as calibration with a monitor calibrator.

briefly about the merits:
- fast matrix, minimum hosting, excellent 3D quality
- 144 Hz, compared with 120 Hz - smoother, but not so necessary, if you already have a 120 Hz monitor.
- build quality
- convenient menu and control buttons
- tilt, height and angle adjustments (horizontal 180 or 90 degrees - vertically)

So, on the monitor, I bought 09/06/2013 for 13,500 rubles. Very spontaneously, because I read reviews and caught fire. Before that, there was a 3D LG W2363D 120 HZ.
What caught my eye - the LED backlight is much more evenly (across the screen) than in the lamp LG (there was a strip from the bottom and top).
But, it can be seen on the whole screen: (the screen still glows. That negatively affects the color rendition. It is noticeable when the computer is turned on and the initial boot. But I started not with calibration, but immediately with the games.

3d - works fine, better than the previous monitor. Less artifacts when changing the depth of 3D.

By the way, the eyes are much less tired. I hardly feel pressure on them. Apparently affects the LED backlight. But here its luminosity across the screen grieves. It can be seen when the computer boots. Maybe I shouldn’t have to maximize the brightness to the maximum, but it seems like this should be done during calibration (but I could be wrong, I’ll check it again), I’ll read the calibration manual (I haven’t calibrated it for a long time) and try again to play with brightness and calibrate again. Simply expressed LED backlighting across the screen is a minus. ON Lg I had it only visible on a black background, in the dark and then, the stripes below and above. And here on the whole screen. But I will try again to calibrate or re-read the recommendations for calibration.

Disadvantages: Briefly about the shortcomings:
- TN standard matrices - color rendition, black depth, viewing angles (when viewed from the side).
- poor standard color profiles in the monitor settings
- the need to calibrate the monitor

In games, to be honest, was a little disappointed, because it seemed to me that there was practically no difference to the game with the previous monitor. In games skill solves. But when conducting tests, on a subject between 120Hz and 144, I will say 144 a little faster and smoother. Ghosting compared with LG - less, but he still is. He is extremely small, but there is.Maybe this is a feature of the eye, but I see a train from the mouse. Maybe you need to take a camera (most likely). And in the end, what we get, I, as a gamer, didn’t really raise my skill with this acquisition compared to what it was (I play in CS: GO and Battlefield 3). But 3d works olichno.

Having protested different modes, I still stopped at 144 HZ without lightboosting.

Standard for TN matrix, - color reproduction, viewing angles (critical, if you look at the monitor from the side, if it is always right in front of him - it is not critical), poor color reproduction with factory settings.

Comment: So now about the color reproduction. In the factory settings - it is, to say the least, bad. Very bad and. Monic Spyder 4 Elite calibrated, guys - it is necessary to calibrate. Moreover, the calibration must be properly calibrated, and not just the ICC profile - to do. ICC - in the games does not work gentlemen. Only if you start the game in windowed mode. Regarding the calibration, calibrated the luminosity of white, RGB sliders, and standard calibration with the creation of an ICC profile. As a result, even without the ICC profile - we get - a normal (good) color for the TN matrix after calibrating the RGB sliders on the monitor. The only minus of the subject, like all monics with a TN matrix, is a noticeable LED backlight and a shallow black color (compared to IPS). My parameters, brightness and contrast are at my maximum. Profile in Monica Standard, the OF parameter (or CF, forgot how to call it correctly) is 40. RGB set it to 50 then calibrated in the calibration program in 1-5 steps. As a result, I got close to the ideal luminosity of white and color gamut. Compared to LG, it is better, but not much (the triangle on the sRGB graph is slightly wider). After calibration - I was satisfied.

Actually, everything. I do not regret buying, although it was probably not so necessary, because already had a 120 Hz monitor. I have 2 IPS monitors at work, so at home, when I relax at the computer, I play shooters - I still need a game monitor. And for movies or games on gamepads - there is a TV.

Advantages: 144Hz, 1ms, LED, 3D, PIVOT, there is a built-in timer and sights of different colors, you can turn them on and kill enemies with no zoom :)
-freq 144 is noticeable in CS 1.6 (there used to be 120Hz Asus VG236HE) with AK47 I didn't scribe so well before :)
You can view all dark places in a brighter mode.
Build quality and packaging as always on top.

Disadvantages: I adjusted the colors for a long time, well, it's me.

Comment: Super duper monitor! Dead pixels and dead pixels not seen ...

Advantages: - 144 Hz
- speed martritsy
- LightBust
- design
- interfaces (no D-Sub, audio in / out)
- built-in acoustics (better than the speakers in the laptops)
- mechanical control buttons

Disadvantages: - glossy body (but this is completely uncritical)
- the stand rotates too easily
- not quite smooth lights on a white / black background in LightBust mode
- no power switch (100-240V)

Comment: A good monitor, took as a replacement for the old Acer B243WBydr.

after upgrading the video card (on the HD7870), the monitor had to get a normal one, because On the old LCD, a hardware blur began to strike.

I have long wanted to change the monitor, because in the NES emulator, when the image is moved, the image is indecently smeared. Now there is no such problem - Hail LightBust!

Advantages: 144 hertz, 1 ms response. )

Disadvantages: Nope

Comment: At high speeds such as racing, for example, on human language, if voiced, everything is smoothly no delay, you can see the whole movement without interruptions)) in games such as Counter-Strike gives a huge advantage due to the high hertz and 1 ms response, count as as if you have an old monik tube, which so many people liked about the old school players)) colors also ruin all the games look colorful, unlike my old monitor, I am satisfied with the purchase.

Advantages: 144Hz, clear good picture, rich colors, many different inputs.

Disadvantages: Not yet discovered

Comment: Take, for such a price, you can hardly find something better =)
