asus vg248qe advice please

thinking of getting an asus tn vg248qe tomorrow. i keep hearing mixed reviews, i would like to hear from an owner of one...regrets or recommend. i have an e19t5w tft 8ms pretty small is it worth the upgrade.
i hear about light boost and downloading profiles make the vg248qe better..but need to hear the bottom line.
thanks

 

Gaming screens are a compromise, you get fast response times and high refresh rates but poor viewing angles and much less accurate colours. I've got a triple screen setup and the viewing angle issue is there but I don't really notice it when I'm on track, if you're really sensitive to that sort of thing it might be an issue.

I was using a colour calibrated 27" Dell panel which was great but limited to 60hz, the car colours in Assetto Corsa looked a bit oversaturated while the circuits looked a bit washed out. Because the colours are less good on the Asus TN panel Assetto Corsa actually looks better balanced somehow, and in theory the higher frame rate will make you drive faster too.

The Asus seems to be a good screen for gaming and fine for everyday computing but I definitely wouldn't use it for professional colour work, my clients would think I've got cataracts!

 

I bought mine a month ago or so.
The differenc between 144 and 60hz is NOTICEABLE, by far. It feels laggy when I play on 60 FPS.
If your graphic card can handle it, go for it.
It's reall great, it feels much smoother.
The only thing about it is the slightly washed out colors, otherwise, it's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

 

Best gaming upgrade I've ever made. The difference going from a 60Hz screen to 144 is like the first time you booted up windows on an SSD, you won't believe the difference at first. You will have to lower your graphics settings to get your fps up there to take full advantage though. Once you do you will be faster on track, better at saving slides and higher K/D ratio if you're into FPS games. Not "theoretically" better, but for 100% certain better.

You don't need to worry about setting up lightboost or downloading profiles, it's the best you can get right out of the box. About colours, let's just say I've never once looked over to the side of the road to check if the grass is the "right" green when I'm trying to take a flat out right hander in a GT3 car. If it wasn't so damned expensive I'd buy two more, but I can't really justify spending more on screens than I spent on my entire computer. You'd probably need to spend some money on a new GPU to get the best out of it aswell.

 

Thanks guys im gonna go for it
