The Official *Asus VG259QM* Owners Thread (+ Secret Overdrive)

[d4rthvdr]

Hey guys,
I'm new to owning a VG259QM. The last monitor I had was 144hz asus monitor. I was wondering if I should leave OC on and run 280hz all times? Will this lower the lifespan of my monitor or even damage it at all? Or should I just run at 240hz all the time? I'll be using this monitor mostly for gaming, so would be bit of a pain to switch back and forth. I'd rather just run a constant hz. That's why I'm wondering if I should just use this at 280hz all the time or if that will end up having negative effects, then should I just run at 240hz all the time??
Thanks!

I decided on going with 240hz, as I found maybe some increased lag when trying to run 280hz all the time. My PC in most games I play can get upwards of 280 fps, but in most cases is more around 240 fps.

Anyway, I will be returning this monitor. I've been using it for a week and it already has a dead pixel on the screen. Just ridiculous. ASUS's warranty states that the monitor needs 3-5 dead pixels for it to be fixed. Insane.

about lifespan. there are a lot of people that use this panel for years with OC+ overdrive 120 and there is no problem at all 100%. to be short OC won't damage the monitor.

about hz. i play mostly an old game (quake live with stable 250fps) and i can firmly assure you that any other option except 280hz provides huge input lag. this panel is a pure treasure only at 280hz

Hey guys, the search doesn't give me results, what's the panel name of your VG259QM? I just got a new unit of this monitor yesterday and I'm not sure if the panel is the same. Seems like this unit is a newer batch (Dec 2020, previously had all from Nov 2020 I think). The panel name on my unit is Qisda Q250HAA00. Is it the same?

Hi, new to the forum here.

I've also got the VG259QM, how do I check the panel's name? How can I get the OSD that appears in this photo, or is it a different app? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I can get VG259QM with old Qinsa panel. Do you think these days it is still better choice than AOC 24G2Z or iiyama GB2590HSU?

Hello,

I recently bought a VG27QM monitor, and it currently has the MCM101 firmware installed. How good is this firmware? How can I update the firmware on this monitor? Also, is there any problem if I perform the steps mentioned in the first message?
