24.5" Asus VG258Q gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

In terms of pixel density, the Asus VG258Q has an excellent density of 89 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The Asus VG258Q has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The minimum response rate of Asus VG258Q is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. Asus VG258Q has a total input lag of 13.5 ms, which is excellent among the competition. The monitor has a VESA mount. For the average response rate, the Asus VG258Q scores 3 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The Asus VG258Q is a relatively new monitor. The brightness of Asus VG258Q is significantly better than other monitors. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Asus VG258Q has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 40 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Asus VG258Q has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. For graphics color quality, the Asus VG258Q has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. The monitor uses a TN panel which suffers from color shifting when viewed from horizontal and vertical angles and has slightly washed colors compared to IPS and VA panels.
