The ASUS TUF Gaming VG249QML5A is a 23.8-inch Full HD esports monitor running a Fast IPS panel at up to 240 Hz, with a 1 ms grey-to-grey response (0.3 ms minimum). It is certified G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium, and unlike most monitors at this size it ships on a fully adjustable stand with tilt, swivel, pivot and 120 mm of height travel.

Why This Product

• 240 Hz on a Fast IPS panel — esports-class refresh with IPS colour and 178°/178° viewing angles, rather than the TN compromise this speed usually demands. Response is 1 ms GTG, 0.3 ms minimum.
• Certified for both GPU vendors — G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium and VESA AdaptiveSync Display 240 Hz, so variable refresh works out of the box on either an NVIDIA or an AMD card.
• A stand that actually adjusts — tilt +23° to −5°, swivel ±15°, pivot ±90° and 0-120 mm of height, plus a 1/4-inch tripod socket on top for a camera or light.
• ELMB Sync and GameFast Input — motion blur reduction that runs alongside variable refresh rate, with a low-latency input path for competitive play.
• HDR10 and Shadow Boost — HDR10 input support, with Shadow Boost lifting detail out of dark areas without over-exposing the bright ones.

Compatibility

• ✓ Certified G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium — variable refresh works with NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards without manual configuration.
• ✓ 1× DisplayPort 1.4 (HBR2) carrying 48-240 Hz, plus 2× HDMI 2.0 also rated 48-240 Hz.
• ✓ HDCP 2.3 for protected streaming services.
• ✓ Full ergonomic stand: tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment.
• ✓ VESA 100 × 100 mm wall and arm mounting; Kensington lock slot; 1/4-inch tripod socket.
• ✓ ASUS Power Sync — the monitor switches on and off with the connected PC.

Best For / Trade-offs

Best for:

• Competitive players who want 240 Hz without giving up IPS colour or viewing angles.
• Anyone running three devices at once — two HDMI inputs plus DisplayPort cover a PC and two consoles.
• Streamers and desk setups that need a camera or light mounted above the screen — the 1/4-inch tripod socket is built in.
• Awkward desks and shared workstations. Height, tilt, swivel and pivot all adjust without an aftermarket arm.
• Long sessions — TÜV Rheinland certified flicker-free and low blue light.

Trade-offs:

• This is a 1920 × 1080 panel. For desktop work and detail, a 1440p screen of the same size would be sharper.
• Contrast is 1000:1 and brightness 300 cd/m² with no local dimming, so HDR10 here means HDR content is accepted, not that it looks like a true HDR display.
• Reaching 240 Hz needs a graphics card that can actually push those frame rates at 1080p.
• At 4.9 kg with the stand it is heavier than a comparable fixed-stand monitor — that weight is the ergonomics.
• Speakers are 2 W × 2, fine for system sound but not a replacement for headphones or desk speakers.
