Not available at the moment. The ELMB Sync seems to be much better implemented than vg259/79qm.

No double pulse strobe when using ELMB-Sync?

If they actually got it right with the VG258QM it will be the first monitor they released with properly functioning ELMB-Sync (not to be confused with standard ELMB since it works correctly in every single Asus monitor).
