The VG248QE is rated on various review sites as the best entry-level 144hz monitor sold at the time of writing. In my quick summary i will try to list all the pros and cons of this product:
PROS
-Screen refresh rate is 144hz
-Cheapest price for a solid 144hz monitor
-Adjustable height with good swivel (Base offers around 180 degrees of easy turning)
-Screen can be rotated 90 degrees for a portrait orientation
-3D support
-Audio passthrough support
-Comes with DVI-D cables and various power cables suitable for different countries. Would have appreciated a display port cable etc.
CONS
-Audio passthrough in general has issues. Had to exchange previous one due to buzzing sound which caused headaches
-Glossy finish as mentioned by others fingerprints easily and scratches easily
-Comes out of the box poorly optimised. Recommend changing brightness etc with Tom's Hardware guide.
OVERALL
A solid performer excellent for gaming.
