Asus VG279QM vs VG259QM

Post by Blehhh » 07 May 2020, 03:11

The asus VG 279QM seems to perform really well, but i'd prefer a 25inch monitor due to PPI and desk space etc.
Does anyone have review from Asus VG259QM?
Does the Asus VG 259QM perform similiar or better than the Asus VG 279QM? Does anyone know or tested it?
I'm also curious that the overdrive for the 25inch could be slightly different than the 27inch variant?

Forii had both. He claimed that he saw overshoot if he put 80 OD at 240hz on the 25 inch version. Whereas on the 27 inch version, he saw no overshoot on 80 OD. Feel free to message him.

Me personally, i have nevee tried the 25 inch version so i cant say. Their hardware and tuning should be the exact same though. And any differences is either a defect or panel variance.

I believe they will be available in US soon, if you're hoping to test one. https://www.shopblt.com/item/asus-24.5- ... ailability

27 inch version had better overdrive, maybe because difference in ppi.
But 25 inch version has better colors, and I mean here white color, when on 27 inch even after calibration it was yellowish.

Aw. i really wanted a 25inch due to ppi and deskspace, but the worst overdrive seems to be putting me off from purchasing the vg259qm
by any chance did you think you receive a faulty 25inch display? therefore the worst overdrive?

i am using on 280hz refresh rate and ELMB sync off. gameplay wise is good for me. cant feel any input lag and display is very responsive.
