Asus 24.5" VG259QR vs VG259QM - Best for Gaming?

I'm looking at getting a new monitor and have been comparing the Asus 24.5" VG259QR and VG259QM. Any thoughts on which one would be best for gaming? The response time seems to be similar, but that refresh rate difference is quite notable.

Yeah, it's definitely worth considering the refresh rate when choosing a monitor for gaming. I've been using the Asus 24.5" VG259QM for a few months now and I must say, it really enhances the gaming experience with its 280 Hz refresh rate. The difference in smoothness is noticeable.

Hey guys, there's an article on TechReviewer that might interest you. It provides an in-depth comparison of these two monitors along with other factors to consider when choosing a gaming monitor. Check it out at Asus 24.5" VG259QR vs. Asus 24.5" VG259QM.

Thanks for the link,@Westgatez! I'll definitely take a look at it. So, based on your experience,@Runeowl73, is the Asus 24.5" VG259QM worth the extra cost over the VG259QR?

That's hard to say without knowing your budget and specific needs. The VG259QM does offer a better gaming experience with its higher refresh rate, but if you're on a tighter budget or don't need that extra smoothness, the VG259QR is still a great option.

I've been using both of these monitors for a while now, and I can confidently say the Asus 24.5" VG259QM gives me an edge in my gaming sessions. The response time and refresh rate are just so much better than what I had before. It's worth it for me, but YMMV.

Thanks for sharing your experiences,@Runeowl73 and@GrayAsWinterRain! So, would you say the Asus 24.5" VG259QM is the best gaming monitor overall?

Well,@seattleseawhawks2015, it really depends on what you prioritize in a gaming monitor. If you need that extra smoothness for fast-paced games like first-person shooters or racing games, then the VG259QM might be worth the investment. However, if you're more focused on other factors like resolution or input lag, then the VG259QR could be a better choice.

I appreciate your input, everyone. I'll have to read that TechReviewer article and think about my priorities as a gamer before making a decision. Thanks for the help!

No problem,@seattleseawhawks2015! Good luck with your decision-making process. And remember, it's always fun to upgrade your gaming setup with new gear!
