The display is designed for fast response and accurate color rendition, helping you distinguish enemies and terrain at a glance in dim or bright environments alike.
• Essential gaming features that gamers rely on: The VG259QM is equipped with features that elevate play: low input lag, smart motion handling, and ASUS-specific enhancements such as GameVisual and GamePlus to tailor visuals and provide practical in-game aids. With support for HDR-capable content and a broad color range, you’ll experience richer highlights and deeper shadows in supported titles.
• Ergonomic, gamer-centric design: The monitor features a sturdy stand with tilt and height adjustments, plus a compact footprint designed for multi-monitor setups. Its clean, minimal aesthetics pair well with a variety of battle stations, while the panel’s anti-glare surface helps reduce reflections during heated sessions.
