These latest gaming monitors follow the announcement of five other G-SYNC Compatible gaming monitors ROG Strix XG258Q, XG248Q, MG278Q, VG278Q and VG258Q — at CES 2019 and demonstrate the strong partnership between ASUS and NVIDIA.

Coming in 27-inch, 24.5-inch and 24-inch sizes, these three new gaming monitors activate their VRR features automatically.

The three new ASUS gaming monitors are certified NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, delivering an excellent variable refresh rate (VRR) experience
The 24-inch VG248QG, 24.5-inch VG258QR and 27-inch VG278QR are Full HD gaming monitors with an ultrafast 165Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms1 response time
ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) technology reduces ghosting and blur, making moving objects even sharper and gameplay more fluid and responsive
ASUS is currently the only company subjecting monitors to a two-stage certification process that entails in-house testing and subsequent validation by NVIDIA to guarantee compatibility with thousands of graphics cards

Designed for intense, fast-paced games, the 27-inch VG278QR, 24.5-inch VG258QR and 24-inch VG248QG gaming monitors feature FHD resolution coupled with an ultrafast 0.5ms1 response time and blazing 165Hz refresh rate to provide super-smooth gameplay. They also feature ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) technology to make objects in motion look even sharper, so gameplay is more fluid and responsive. ASUS VG248QG, VG258QR and VG278QR all support gamer-centric features, such as ASUS GamePlus to enhance the in-game experience and GameVisual to provide various pre-set display modes that optimize visuals for different types of games. ASUS VG278QR and VG258QR are available now, and VG248QG will be available at the beginning of April.

I guess the g-sync range will only be something like 48-165hz though unlike proper g-sync that starts from 0-max so i hear

Thanks, i find it all confusing at times tbh.

I was saving for the XG258Q, which is g-sync compatible but then i got put off when i know the proper g-sync version called PG258Q has a better range, some games i have drop to 30fps in cutscenes and what not so 48-max wont cut it for me so looks like im forced into buying g-sync

I dont want to keep switching from v-sync to g-sync, if i buy g-sync it will stay on that for every game i play

So you payed ~100$ extra to have g-sync in cutscenes, really?

Also, using an RTX 2080 with a FHD TN panel? LOL

I never bought it yet and no its not just for cutscenes, there are 30 fps games like split second, or need for speed rivals that i have, and yes im using a rtx 2080 with a 1080p tn panel, nothing wrong with that at all, i like to aim for higher fps and like to max the settings in my games like assassins creed origins and odyssey, try doing that with a 2k or 4k monitor, even with a rtx 2080 it will struggle to keep a min 60fps

So don't try and be the smart ass when your clearly not!

At this point all i have to say to Asus is 32-43" 4K 120hz + g-sync or GTFO. So tired of them refreshing 24-27"

Doesn't LFC work with Nvidia-compatible Freesync monitors?

AFAIK both Freesync and G-sync supports LFC, even if I'm not sure about the exact implementations, and any display with sufficiently large adaptive sync span that should work just fine with both technologies.

Or are we saying that some displays don't actually sync below X frames, even with LFC support, despite the fact that it should?

Tn Pannel :/
I prefere IPS Pannel like Asus VG279Q (1ms ,freesync 144 hz and fully compatible gsync)
freesync works perfectly with GTX 1080 (48hz-> 144 hz)

Also Note for AMD/ATI users that (despite the name) it's still Good Old FreeSync 1 Monitor.
Working Flawlessly with 'any' Radeon.

IMhO is better to invest with FreeSync 2 HDR IPS panel.

hi there, it's from the game NightSky. a good puzzle game that got me hooked by its atmospheric world and ambient music. a sweet brake from big budget games.

Undying, a great game.

Why a 24 and a 25 with the exact same specs otherwise? I mean 24 and 27 or 25 and 27, but seriously. Same with all the lower tier nvidia cards. 2060, 1660 ti, 1660, and what at least 2 below that.
Then throw in the 1080, 1070 ti, 1070 and 980ti for that matter and its a god damn zoo, even if you remove the 1080 and 2060 from the mix.
