Fantastic monitor! At least, it is once you get the ICC profile setup correctly.

I've had the monitor for a little over a month now and have absolutely no qualms with it, other than needing to calibrate the colors/brightness. When you turn the monitor on for the first time, you may or may not notice the colors to be "washed out" and the screen blindingly bright. If you do a bit of research on this model, you'll see many, many other people reporting the same problem. HOWEVER.... Search Google for "Just bought a Glorious Asus VG248QE Gaming Monitor" and the first result should be a reddit post with instructions on how to calibrate your new monitor. I used the 3rd settings under the section called "PC Monitors recommended OSD settings." After you've finished calibrating, you'll notice a huge difference from the stock quality. I almost returned this monitor due to that problem, but found that post just in time and have loved the monitor ever since. One last thing: There seems to be an issue with waking the monitor after sleep/soft restart. The only way to get the screen to come back on is to press the reset button on the tower itself. I'm not sure if that's a monitor issue or an issue with my system.Read full review
