Our Verdict
ASUS VG248QG
ASUS VG279QM
The ASUS VG279QM is better for gaming than the ASUS VG248QG, mainly because it has a different panel type and a higher refresh rate. The VG279QM has a native 240Hz refresh rate that you can overclock to 280Hz, while the VG248QG has a 165Hz native refresh rate. The VG279QM also has a quicker response time of 60Hz for better motion handling, and its IPS panel has wider viewing angles. The VG279QM also supports HDR, which the VG248QG doesn't, but it doesn't add much because it has a low contrast ratio. While the VG279QM gets a bit brighter, the VG248QG has much better reflection handling, so it's a better choice for well-lit rooms.
