Review on ASUS VP249QGR Monitor: Extreme FreeSync Display with 144Hz Refresh Rate, Flicker-Free & Adaptive Sync Technology, Wall-Mountable, Blue Light Filter & HD Quality by Kevin Ewing

I was able to get this monitor for about $163 after tax and I can say it was worth every penny. I don't know why monitors have to be so expensive, especially for 1080p, but the price for this one is just perfect. I bought this monitor to stay within a reasonable budget for my new gaming PC and after a month of use it definitely deserves 5 stars. I wasn't sure what cable would come with the monitor as very few youtube videos and reviews claimed it came with an HDMI cable which it did NOT. This monitor actually comes with a DISPLAYPORT CABLE. It was great not having to buy a $15 third party cable to get all 144Hz out of the monitor and the cable is very high quality, perfect length and a locking mechanism that connects it to my GPU and the monitor itself holds. Basic assembly took less than a minute (no kidding!), and the frames are very thin. The monitor's user interface is also very nice and intuitive, with 7 buttons on the right side, including the power button, you can easily navigate through the monitor settings or change the device's input. All in all, if this monitor is in stock and not overpriced, DO NOT LOOK ELSEWHERE. I don't think there is a better 23.8 inch IPS 144Hz 1ms monitor in the sub $200 price range that can beat this monitor. Great product that I can use for many years.
