Display Specifications

The XG259QNS features a 24.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display utilizing ASUS's Fast IPS technology. This panel type is known for its fast response times, with a minimum response time of 0.3ms and a typical response time of 1ms (Grey-to-Grey).

It also supports HDR10 and has a peak brightness of 400 cd/m², along with a static contrast ratio of 1000:1 and wide viewing angles of 178° horizontally and vertically.

Color Accuracy and Gamut

The monitor covers approximately 110% of the sRGB color space, providing a wider and more accurate color gamut. This is beneficial for both gaming and content creation, ensuring vibrant and realistic colors. Each monitor comes with an E-calibration report to ensure color accuracy out of the box.

Adaptive-Sync and ELMB Sync

The XG259QNS is certified under AMD's FreeSync Premium and VESA's AdaptiveSync Display 380Hz schemes, ensuring a tear-free gaming experience with variable refresh rates (VRR). It also features ASUS's Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) Sync technology, which allows the use of ELMB (a strobing blur reduction backlight mode) simultaneously with VRR, eliminating ghosting and tearing while maintaining sharp visuals at high frame rates.

Connectivity and Ports

The monitor offers extensive connectivity options, including one DisplayPort 1.4 (HBR3) port, two HDMI 2.0 ports, and a USB hub with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports. There is also an earphone jack for connecting headphones or external speakers. These ports support high-bandwidth connections necessary for the monitor's high refresh rate and HDR capabilities.

The XG259QNS features an ergonomically designed stand that provides tilt (-5° to 20°), swivel (-45° to 45°), pivot (-90° to 90°), and height adjustments (0 to 120 mm). This flexibility allows users to find their ideal viewing position easily. The monitor is also VESA-compatible with a 75 x 75 mm mounting pattern for wall mounting or use with alternative stands.

The GameVisual technology offers seven pre-set display modes to optimize visuals for different types of content. Other features include Flicker-Free technology, Ultra-Low Blue Light technology, and GameFast Input technology to reduce input lag and enhance overall gaming performance.
