Asus VG245H: Gaming Monitor with GameFast Input Technology
Advanced gamers know that a good gaming monitor can significantly enhance gameplay. The ASUS VG245H is exactly a monitor, designed for gaming PC or console. It's based on the decent-quality TN panel that is not universal for all usage scenarios, but definitely great for gaming thanks to its blazing-fast response time of 1ms.
Dimensions
The monitor measures 22.1 by 8.4 by 14.2 inches and weighs 6.4 pounds without a stand and 11.5 pounds with a stand. The diagonal is 24 inches. It also has a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.
Features
The model features a basic Full HD resolution. The screen has a good brightness level, so this monitor can be used in well-lit conditions. However, it lacks color accuracy. The init is suitable for in-front viewing only, as the viewing angles are quite limited. The display has a matte finish with an anti-glare coating.
The GameVisual technology offers 6 video modes for the best possible performance during viewing the different types of visual content. You also can save up to 4 of your own customized display presets.
The ASUS VG245H 24 inches monitor is well-optimized for all game genres, featuring multiple gaming features.
- The support of the FreeSync anti-tearing technology means that the VG245H works well for graphic-intense games. It automatically ranges the monitor's refresh rate from 40Hz to 75Hz, based on the FPS of the game you are playing.
- The GameFast Input technology minimizes the input lag, so you can see all the actions and effects in games without any tearing, stuttering, and jerkiness.
- The GamePlus feature makes it possible to switch between 4 types of crosshair and choose from 5 time intervals for better in-game precision.
- 75Hz refresh rate that is slightly more responsive than the standard one also can boost the gameplay a bit.
The ASUS Eye Care technology that reduces eye fatigue during long gaming sessions eliminates flicker and blue light. In the OSD menu, you can change the level of blue light emission, selecting from 4 levels.
The VG245H gaming monitor is also equipped with plain, entry-level 2W speakers.
Design
The VG245H has the audio input, VGA, and 2 HDMI 1.4 ports, so you can keep it connected to your PC and console simultaneously. All of them can be found on the rear. Sadly, there are no Display and USB ports. The control buttons are located on the right side of the monitor back as well.
The measurements for this ASUS VG245H review have shown that the frame is 0.7 inches thick and the stand has a 10.9 x 8.3 inches footprint.
The monitor has an all-black, matte finish. The stand is also black but has some blue accents. It gives you the opportunity to adjust the height, tilt, swivel, and pivot the monitor, so you can find your perfect viewing position. The stand also has a hole for cable management allowing you to hide the cables for a neat look.
Conclusion
The information mentioned in this VG245H review proves that this monitor is able to provide an enjoyable gaming experience. Due to the usage of the TN panel, it can't show super-realistic visuals but has a good brightness level. The unit's stand has a high level of adjustment. It also includes many useful gaming features. This way, this model makes a good choice for gamers with an average CPU (for a demanding one, you would probably like to get a refresh rate of around 144Hz).
