🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

The monitor has been highly praised for its large screen and high resolution, making it excellent for work productivity, especially for tasks that require multiple screens at once like electrical design and autocad drafting. Users find it very useful for gaming as well, however, some users report that games that don't support 32:9 ratio require changing display resolution on Windows. The Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature allowing simultaneous input from multiple sources has some issues, with some users even saying it does not work, and instructions for use are lacking.

Pros

  • 🖥 Large screen and high resolution improve work productivity.
  • 🎮 Suitable for gaming, more immersive with games supporting 32:9 ratio.
  • 💼 Excellent for multi-window tasks like electrical design and autocad drafting.
  • ⚖ Lightweight (21 lbs), making it easier to handle independently.

Cons

  • ⚡ Issues with Picture-by-Picture (PBP) feature.
  • ⛔ Instructions for use can be vague and general, not monitor-specific.
  • 👀 Can pick up glare of light behind the user.
  • 💻 For games that don't support 32:9 ratio, requires changing display resolution on Windows.

Should I Buy It?

If you need a monitor primarily for work that involves multitasking across multiple screens and occasional gaming, then this might be a good fit. However, if you specifically need a PBP feature that works flawlessly, you might want to find alternatives as this monitor appears to have some issues with it.

    • Excellent monitor!
Style: 25" Fast IPS 180Hz FHD G-SYNC USB-C
Bought one of these for each of my kids. I have the bigger, higher resolution version of these monitors. The 25" 1080p version is great! Clear images, fast refresh rate - great for casual and competitive gamimg, and vivid color. I just wish they'd include a speaker - even a cheap one! These are the perfect size for compact spaces, or having multiple on the same desk. I got them on sale so the value was really good. ... show more

Review Image by Carlos M Carlos M
ASUS ROG Strix XG259CS – Great Performance for the Price! Picked up the ASUS ROG Strix XG259CS for gaming, and I’m really impressed! The 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make everything super smooth, especially for fast-paced shooters. The Fast IPS panel looks great with solid colors and wide viewing angles—way better than regular TN panels. It’s also G-SYNC Compatible, so no tearing or stuttering. The stand is really adjustable too, which is perfect for getting the right viewing angle. What I love most is that it’s pretty budget-friendly compared to other high-end gaming monitors, but still delivers top-tier performance. During a promotional period, I was able to get Monster Hunter: Wilds for free, which was a nice bonus (though that offer ended on March 31st). Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fast, responsive monitor without breaking the bank. ... show more

    • Good, reliable 380Hz monitor.
Style: 25" Fast IPS 380Hz FHD 0.3ms FreeSync Pr...
I've had this ASUS XG259QN monitor for well over a year now and it is great. The 380Hz refresh rate and the 0.3ms response time feel nice, and there is not much ghosting especially with ELMB on. The colors and quality of this IPS panel are also good. The monitor brightness is good enough for me, I usually keep my monitor around 35 brightness or so. Although with this one I am using ELMB which controls the brightness depending on the level. Before this, I used monitors that performed well at high FPS but felt less smooth at lower FPS, sometimes experienced screen tearing, reset back to a lower refresh rate, or occasionally wouldn’t display output and needed a power reset. This 380Hz monitor seems to handle both high and low FPS better and has not reset like that or anything. The stand that this monitor comes with I thought I might not like as much as the other ASUS ones I have used, but I found a way to rotate it and it actually works well for my setup. The ports this monitor has are: 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A 1x Display Port 1.4 2x HDMI 2.0 This monitor also supports Display Scaling. The settings I have been using are: Refresh Rate: 380Hz Variable OD: 10 Variable Refresh Rate: Off ELMB: On, Clarity Level 3, Clarity Position Middle FPS Mode Shadow Boost: Level 3 Contrast: 80 VividPixel: 50 Gamma 2.2 Saturation: 50 ... show more

    • Serious disappointment from ASUS

Review Image by Juan Gonzalez Juan Gonzalez

As an avid ASUS fan, it really pains me to have to write this review, but the ASUS ROG Strix XG49VQ is a mediocre product (at best) in a sea of otherwise stellar top-performance gaming monitors, peripherals, and devices from the ASUS Republic of Gamers brand. While my monitor did not have the noticeable physical defects that other reviewers reported having, I did notice a few big problems that are worthy of calling out: 1. This monitor is technically an HDR display, but it's on the lower end of the clinical definition of HDR, and you will notice some challenges in achieving your targeted brightness because the range just isn't there. This is an HDR4 display that masquerades as something more sophisticated, but most games today that really take advantage of HDR will benefit from HDR8 or HDR10. Given how dull the lows are and how blinding the brights are in HDR4, you're going to be better off playing without HDR on in this model. Finally, if you have HDR on, you can't adjust your GameDisplay settings - it has to be off to make those changes. 2. Low Resolution - This is a FHD vertical display (and think of it as two large 1080p monitors joined horizontally), which means that if you are used to gaming on 1440p or better, you're going to notice the downgrade. But given the size of this monitor at 49", you can actually see all of the pixels. This wouldn't be a huge deal, generally, but the monitor's rendering engine engages in some weird sharpening effects (that do not seem removable) that make the text look aliased, regardless of your AA settings. The SDR calibration of this device looks like an actual firmware or hardware implementation rather than something you can adjust. 3. Physical Imperfections. While my device did not have strict "defects," there was definitely LED backlight bleed that exacerbates some of the HDR dysfunction previously mentioned, and probably contributes to some of the SDR over-aliasing that renders games at 1080p really jagged. And other posters are correct that the plastic on this monitor feels cheap, rushed, and likely to break or chip with any typical wear-and-tear. 4. Non-Premium. ASUS is known for building gamer-centric devices, but there is a very spartan implementation for this monitor, with no AURA or LED lightning, and not even casing elements that are stylish or luxurious. Instead, just a plain, black monitor implementation. Also, there is an eye-sore of a promotion on the right side of the monitor's bezel "Designed and Made by ASUS in Taiwan" in silver lettering that is visible half-way across the room. Who wants to see that? By and large, this monitor is not a "bad" monitor - especially for people who have never experienced variable refreshrates (FreeSync 2 does work, but with NVIDIA cards expect a lot of flickering and incompatibility - so as of the writing of this review, it generally only applies to AMD cards), or for non-gamers looking for a productivity workspace - but the price-point at ~$900 really justified something better thought out and put together. I returned my monitor after just four days of use, when the physical imperfections, LED backlight bleed, HDR dysfunction, and SDR over-aliasing rendered the limitations of this glorified 1080p panel too much to bear. Best to save your money and go deeper for a 4K solution, or use one of ASUS' excellent 1440p 34" Curved Panels instead. ... show more
