🚀 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.

AMAZON FUMBLED THE BAG CAUSE I STOLE THIS FOR $750. I was so shocked and skeptical why it was listed as that price but props to the one who actually secured the bag. I heard reviews of quality control being poor such as dead pixels, and broken back plates, but luckily my unit was not affected at all. I honestly don't know where to start. I've tested multiple monitors such as Neo G8, Alienware QD-Oled (DW Version), BenQ Xowie XL2566k, LG Oled 27gr95qe-b, AW2723DF, and so on but I have the perfect monitor for me that I finally settle on. This monitor can play any title of what you want but is purely for competitive games. This is the fastest panel I've played on with very good picture quality. Out-of-the-box settings when you first boot it up are factory calibrated in sRGB mode with accurate colors. Although it was very dim without messing with the settings since there is no way to adjust the brightness in that mode. The monitor is definitely bright, brighter than an OLED display in general which I find lacking in that department in what I owned previously before. It may not have the infinite contrast ratio or so-called good blacks level because it's an IPS display but let's be real, when you are playing games in general such as competitive, you do not need to have that. I can't stress enough why people are so obsessed with OLED when burn-ins are a problem. I mostly game and have static images such as UI and productivity work that I would worry so much about it constantly, with it being an LED, I don't have to worry as much. It has a G-SYNC module built but you don't really need to enable it if your hardware can run 360hz. Somewhat my 7700x/RTX 4090 was capped at around 323 fps such as OW2, or Valorant so I disabled it and it hit above that FPS count. At a high refresh rate, you won't notice image tearing at all. You do want to run the Overdrive mode to normal since anything above such as esports and extreme mode will increase the amount of inverse ghosting, but overall it's clear as day with a good response time for an IPS panel. There is backlight bleeding but to a minimum where I don't notice it all. You definitely are not going to use HDR at all which is a gimmick on a panel like this without a local dimming zone such as FALD. It uses Edge-lit dimming like the G7 but you might as well turned off because it's only meant for HDR as I stated above it's a gimmick and just worth turning off. Most of the content you play or even watch is in SDR, just mess with the settings on this monitor and you have the most fantastic picture quality. The settings I use for a vivid color-like image and gaming are: GameVisual: Racing Mode Brightness: Whichever you prefer, I setting mine atleast very high nit of brightness (for example like 85%) Variable Backlight: Off (that was the gimmick I was mentioning about) OD: Normal Display Color Space: Wide Gamut (THIS MAKES THE COLOR POP MORE) All the other settings I didn't list such as blue light, color temp, dark boost, gamma and such didn't touch because that's all user preference. In conclusion, this monitor is very good for absolute competitive gaming and watching content. It's an IPS display with the fastest response time of any IPS (cause of ultrafast crystal and dual voltage driver) out there with little to no input lag (360hz) whatsoever. It's worth picking it up for hardcore gamers if it ever comes back in stock. ... show more

    • Great Monitor for $229
Style: 25" Fast IPS 310Hz FHD G-SYNC USB-C
(Purchased for $229) If you find this on sale cheaper than a 240Hz and want ASUS quality, it is 100% worth the buy, otherwise just get a 360Hz. There is nothing wrong with it, but this retails for $300. Paying $70 more for 60-70 more hertz is not worth it as you will barely notice a difference. The jump from 240Hz to 360Hz will be more noticeable. But, if your PC can’t run stable 360 fps on most games, like me, this is a no brainer. You get atleast 240Hz with the option of running 300-310Hz for only $229. Overall, it is a solid monitor with great build quality. It is just as good as the VG259QM but at 300-310Hz. The colors look good and the monitor feels very responsive. I love this monitor as it doesn’t have some ugly stand, looks clean, is tilt-able, durable, and performs great. 10/10 for the price. ... show more

    • Love this gaming monitor
Style: 25" Fast IPS 180Hz FHD G-SYNC USB-C
I love this gaming monitor. It was a very sharp and vivid display, and the colors are very accurate. It's configuration interface is easy to use. I love the support base and arm. It allows you to change orientation of the monitor in so many angles and directions, and it stays put until you need to adjust again. One of the best built monitor stands I have seen. Also has a place for a tripod mount on top the stand. Can't say enough good things about this monitor. I would not hesitate to recommend this monitor to others, especially given it's affordable price point and high frequency high resolution display. Great product. ... 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
