Frequently Asked Questions
01 Why is the VG249QE5A response time quoted as MPRT? +
1 ms (MPRT) is an MPRT figure - measured with backlight strobing rather than by timing the pixels themselves. It describes how long a frame persists on screen, which flatters the number compared with a grey-to-grey measurement. The true grey-to-grey transition is slower than this number implies.
02 How sharp is Full HD on a 23.8-inch panel? +
The listed density is 92 PPI, which is acceptable at normal desk distance. It is noticeably less detailed than QHD at the same viewing distance.
03 What does the lack of stand adjustment mean day to day? +
Only -5° to +23° tilt is available. Height, swivel and pivot require a separate 100 x 100 mm VESA arm.
04 Why is the 146 Hz limit still useful for budget gaming? +
It displays more than twice as many refresh cycles as 60 Hz, making motion and input updates smoother when the PC supplies enough frames. It is not a substitute for a 240 Hz esports display.
05 Can the listed 125% sRGB be read as colour accuracy? +
No. It indicates gamut volume or coverage, not low colour error. The sheet provides no calibration tolerance.
