Hey man, I saw your post on redit as well as others. I’m about to buy this monitor since it has perfect specifications for my PC and I love Asus. What happened with yours im really curious is it production failure to all of these models or what? I will make sure that i have a guarantee from my local store. Btw very nice and educational video you are doing good. Cheers
I don't own the "zowie 2546k" so i can't comment on that monitor. But saturday i did got a second monitor of this monitor in the video. I loving it. Why i love it? - 1920 by 1080p best for CZcams/Livestreaming. - 1080p not use much GPU power like 1440p or 4K. Can crank graphics higher or higher frames. - IPS monitor great from a lot of viewing angles. And really great colors on this monitor. - High hertz frame monitor: 270hz o.c or 240hz/or lower. And easier to get those frames because of 1080p. when not get those frames.. (tip) lock framerate in game or nvidiacontrolpanel for not getting frame drops. Very smooth in Windows and games. 2 Cons: 1 is Nvidia G-sync not works on my monitor ( i do get 2 seconds random blackscreen every now and then) by G-sync. 2nd It's a minor knew it by my purchase... no adjustable monitor stand. More questions ask i will answer. Sincerely, Michiel709
Great to hear! What did you like about it? I bought a second one and it's coming saturday. Great color IPS, 1080p you dont need extreme GPU. 240 or 270hz. And not too expensive. Yeah great monitor :)
Cheaper than vg259qm (a lot) in my country, and i don't have to overclock to 270hz that means I don't have to buy vg259qm if I use 240hz(standard). Also, vg259qm was born in 2019, and vg249qm1a was born in 2022. The only disadvantage for me, I have to buy a monitor arm to adjust the height.
Yeah "The only disadvantage for me, I have to buy a monitor arm to adjust the height." I did put underneath many DVD boxes for temporary solution. But i think i also gonna buy two monitor stands. Because saturday i did got a second monitor of the monitor in this video :) I love this monitor. Btw i use 270hz, but 240hz works great too. Have a nice day
no I meant there were some rubbers on the back panel covering the holes for the screws so I didn't knew if removing them or not, then I saw on Reddit I had to remove them, but thx anyways
This is the best gaming monitor I ever used because the panel is REALLY FAST and I mean REALLY FAST. I always prefered TN panels to IPS because of the pixel response time. I couldn´t stand IPS, not even on expensive high-end monitors. I would always notice the blur. Not the case with this model. Afaik it uses the same panel as ViewSonic XG2431 wich is BlurBusters approved and OptimumTech also considered this panel to be the fastest IPS panel he ever used. That coupled with 270hz refresh rate makes it almost pefect. I compared the input lag with other models I have around here and at 270hz this things beats everything. It´s comparable to my CRT (altho my CRT maxes out at 160hz), so that says a lot. For console gaming is great because 60hz do not have overshoot or ghosting problems, panel still very fast at lower refresh rates. It´s a shame PS5 do not support VRR with HDMI2.0. The PPI on this unit is very good too because it is not a 24 inch monitor, rather 23,8. 1080p at that size is great. So this is a way to play your favourite online competitive shooters without too much strain on your GPU, while having a great image quality where you can spot everyone at long distantes. The colours help on that matter too. Why isn´t this monitor perfect? Well because if you want to use lower refresh rates like 120hz or 180hz YOU NEED to create a custom resolution with CRU because the standard information adds too much input lag. I created custom 120hz and 180hz resolutions and it is fast again. Keep that in mind. This thing is a "war machine" as I call it. I can´t see anyone being at any competitive disadvantage using this thing. It is as good if not better than many 27inch 1440p 240hz/360hz models, trust me. Only OLED can beat this thing.
Hey brother , is this monitor better than his older brother version ? i mean the vg259qm ? ( input lag and response time wise ) i can't find a review on rting to compare them
I dont know about that Zowie monitor. But i do own two of these monitors. They are great, except g0sync has a bug on mine copies. Love them they are really great in my opinion
I had RMA'd mine as the ELMB was just a pure black screen and it occasionally turned off for a few seconds before coming back on. I couldn't find any firmware I could flash through the service USB port. The new one does the same thing.
For me set off Gsync fixed my 2 seconds blackscreen that i got once in a while randomly. Aww sad to hear for you. If no options work just send it back for warranty or something. Have a nice day and hope you fix your monitor very soon
@@miEye1 They replaced the panel which fixed the ELMB, but those occasional black screens for 2-3 seconds were still there. And I could hear really weird sparking sounds, like the power supply was shorted or something acting strange inside. I'll definitely return it and call it a Monday product.
@@LVarisz After 3 RMAs and declined claims, I managed to get my money back and I got a 360Hz Acer Nitro. The replacement died in 20 minutes, with my breakers cutting off, so a some kind of short circuit inside. I used only the included cables. I'll never buy anything from Asus again. The monitor has received a lot of negative reviews over the past 6 months and I guess that's the reason behind its low price of just 205€. That Acer I currently have has a much brighter IPS panel with much better factory settings for the sRGB. Sure, it was 150€ more, but definitely worth it for my needs. The jump from 240Hz to 360Hz is really noticeable.
Sorry for late response just saw your message. I dont know i dont own the other one. This monitor has no input lag according to me, i can't feel it. Except g-sync gave me a bug. for the rest is a rocking monitor. Lovin-it
AOC Gaming 25G3ZM - 25 inch Full HD Monitor, 240 Hz, 0,5 ms MPRT, FreeSync Premium (1920x1080) Maybe this one? But i do not own it. But reviews on Amazon are good
Sorry i missed your message. I think im not sure not watched all reviews on internet yet. But specs wise it's better than mine. It had HDR-400 and 0.5 inch wider. Can't see a price of the monitor now in the Netherlands. It seems better, but i can check tommorow better for u if you want
Thanks man I just purchased the same monitor from amazon uk . The only thing the fastest one shipping available was a used-like new with a slight discount, so i had to purchase that instead of waiting for 2-3 weeks for new one to arrive .. hope all good and not broken or something 😅. Wish me luck 🙏🤞
I can only comment on this monitor. Because i do not own the other one. I do like this monitor, but its not perfect. I guess no monitor is. Btw G-sync is bugged on my monitor so i can't use it. I get random black screen once a while for 2 seconds. So i set off G-sync. And i have a bit of IPS-glow, but for the rest it's a great monitor!
Yes I really like them. But can't tell of course for you. I have two and I'm happy. 1080p not use much PC hardware power. 270hz and IPS. I dont see ghosting on mine. Thye good for video editing and gaming :)

hello great video btw, good explanation, not to long not to short. Ive come to ask is there a settings to 240hz?, ive been seeing these 270 on Overclock. Tqq
Yes 240hz you can select in windows. If you want O.C you go to monitor menu it's on first tab of the menu click it and you have multiple options to select. 250hz, 260hz, 270hz, but in Windows you also have lower options like 144hz and so on. But i do play moba Dota 2, 240hz with Gsync is ultra smooth. Thanks for your kind words have a great day! Any more question i will answer. bye Sincerely, miEye
I think Windows set this monitor on 60 or 144 hz as default, can't remember. I thought i changed it in Windows. But if you use this for a gameconsole or something and for example its not default 240hz. You can always do O.C in menu to 250-270hz for example
It had a software thats the same as the inbuild menu from the monitor. I tried it and after i reinstalled it. I personally not change much the monitor settings
That's just 240 hz. Probably you have AMD graphics card? To select 270hz, go to the menu somewhere on top you can select Overclocking and you can set it to 270hz (if you want).
I don't know if it's safe. It is at least a feature they added. I use 270hz, I'm not planning to use this monitors for 20 year :P But I don't think your monitor will burn by setting this to 270hz. But 240hz is probably more safe and increase lifetime of monitor.

Yeah do you have a yellow tint on taskbar too? Believe me i watched hundreds reviews before this purchase. Almost all IPS monitors have blacklight bleeding. Mine has it very minimal so not a problem for me. Do you use 240 or 270hz?
Normally faster hz gives lower input delay. But you can select different hz frequencies. If you never reach 240hz or something you can lower it. Personally i use 240hz/270hz and lock framerate within the game itself. To not get much frame drops. Because framedrops you feel in competitive games
Sorry for late response. you can select 270hz, 240, 144, 120, 100, 85, 60, 59, 50 hz. All this options are available. Sorry i forgot comment section of my CZcams channel. Excuses
