Overview
The Asus TUF Gaming VG259QM5A is a 24.5-inch IPS gaming monitor running 1920 × 1080 at up to 240 Hz. It offers 89 ppi pixel density, 300 nits typical brightness, 1000:1 static contrast and 99% sRGB coverage. Variable refresh covers 48–240 Hz, quotes 1 ms response and supports FreeSync Premium and G-Sync. Inputs include 2× HDMI 2.0 and 1× DisplayPort 1.4. The stand tilts only. 2 × 2 W speakers are built in, and it weighs 3.4 kg with the stand. It suits competitive players who put frame rate first. The main trade-off: tilt-only stand has no height, swivel or pivot adjustment.
