The Asus VG248QE 144Hz Gsync monitor

What comforting to the eye is that the screen is matte dark, there is very little refraction. Very stylish are the thin bezels which are roughly 6 mm thin. Taste differs, but that is a kick-ass looking monitor right there eh  ? The screen itself is rather unique being that is is a 2560x1440 TN screen. Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) is also supported. Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) technology is an additional mode featured in G-SYNC monitors that decreases motion blur and minimizes the ghosting introduced when onscreen elements are rapidly moving. 

ULMB mode achieves its sharper image by forcing the backlight of the G-SYNC monitor to strobe in synchronized time with the monitor’s refresh rate. The backlight is flashed when new pixels are drawn. After this strobe, the backlight is then darkened so that pixels no longer hold, similar to the “pulse” behavior in CRT monitors. By clearly delineating pixel transitions using the backlight strobe, ULMB creates distinct and sharp moving images. One drawback to darkening the backlight in between strobes is that overall monitor brightness is reduced. To compensate for this, ULMB mode automatically maximizes the monitor brightness level. You can further modify monitor options, such as gamma and color, to tweak the image quality to your  liking.

Interesting to know is that with its 120/144 Hz the screen is Nvidia 3D Vision 2 compatible. At 60 Hz per eye you could play your games in 3D. Now this does not work combined with GSYNC enabled though, please keep that in mind. Lightboost thus is also supported, which you can enable in the OSD under reference 'Ultra Low Motion Blur' aka ULMB. This again does not work with Gsync and or the 144Hz modus.

The stand has a red LED light which ASUS calls the Light in Motion. The mount can rest in landscape and portrait mode. The backside does not real much, but what i can already tell you is that you can hide your cabled inside the mount, a very clever way for cable management.  The stand will tilt, swivel, pivot and brings height adjustment.  At the back we also spot two vents for heat exhausting, yes that Gsync module produces heat.
