Product Overview

Asus TUF Gaming VG259QM is an affordable 25-inch FHD gaming monitor in Asus's 2019 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit IPS panel.
Notably, this monitor supports HDR up to DisplayHDR 400. The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty. It also comes with build-in speakers that make media consumption in a pinch an effortless experience.
Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.

ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM provides a responsive and smooth gaming experience with its low input lag and high refresh rate. Its wide viewing angles and outstanding ergonomics make it easier to share work or content. Sadly, while it does support HDR, it can't display a wide color gamut and lacks local dimming. The screen may be too small for some, especially for multitasking.

  • High refresh rate
  • Low input lag

  • Can't display a wide color gamut
  • No local dimming
