ASUS has just announced two new IPS Full-HD monitors in 24" and 27" sizes, the VZ249HEG1R and VZ279HEG1R. These two new gaming monitors both feature refresh rates of 75Hz, a luminance of 250 cd/m², a contrast ratio of 1,000: 1, and a 1 ms response time. Input is barebones with only a single HDMI port and a D-Sub connector.

The stands are VESA compatible with 75 x 75 mm mounting options and can tilt -5 to 22 °. Pricing and availability have not been announced.

What is 'gaming' about IPS at 75hz, I wonder.

Looks to me like a bog standard el cheapo IPS. With strong ghosting at 1ms
 
oh hell yes, the future is here!!

I think it's a decent choice for mid range GPU builds that are capable of pushing above 60 fps on AAA games but not near 144hz.

I did OC my monitor from 60hz to 74hz and the difference was noticeable!

All depends on the price. If this is more than 120-150 bucks, hard pass really. Another big item is QC. If these panels glow and bleed like crazy... I mean we ARE talking bottom bin IPS here. 250cd/m is also not great. Any sunshine in the house and you can't do anything at all.

So... we're talking about Asus doing a budget bin panel with their usual branding... and usual QC. 1+1 = avoid
 
Most people commenting here seem to be missing the point that this is IPS panel.

Welcome to 2005

75Hz 1ms gaming FULL-HD monitors with VGA and HDMI inputs.

You can now plug both Intel Core 2 Duo PC and Xbox 360 / PS3 to it.

Sure, because everyone would happily spend over 300$ on a 4K gaming monitor, and a minimum 500$ on a graphics card to fully drive it. :ohwell:

ASUS VG248 - 24" 1080p, 144Hz, $250-300
Acer GN246HL - 24" 1080p, 144Hz, $220
Pixio PXC243 - 24" 1080p, 144Hz, $140

No need to buy 75Hz IPS monitor with 2005 specs.
 
1ms response is utter tosh and we all know it. G2G average of "1ms" panels is about 6ms, and even that is pointless because at 75Hz and with no backlight strobing, the effective blur from sample-and-hold is 13ms.

Also, budget IPS screams backlight bleed, corner glow, and grey blacks. Sorry, but no. Do yourself a favour and spend another $50 on something you might enjoy using for the next 5-10 years.

As undesirable as rock-bottom rung monitors are, the reality of the "2005 spec" monitor you keep quoting consisted of paying around $550 at the time for a 20" 1680 x 1050 16:10 resolution (non Full HD) with 16ms response and pretty bad 600:1 contrast ratio due to CCFL backlights whose whites turned "yellow-white" as they aged. I remember them as I used such an early IPS at work and even as little as 18 months post-purchase, the color temperature of "white" changed enough on calibration equipment as the cold cathodes aged that the color accuracy advantages of IPS were mostly theoretical. Likewise, literally no-one bought 16ms IPS in 2005 for gaming, they were almost entirely TN instead until well past 2010. Whilst I agree with "LOL at 2020 gaming branded monitors that come with analogue VGA but no DisplayPort or Freesync due to over-segmenting the budget market a little too far", it was in reality several years post 2005 before we had actually decent Full HD LED IPS monitors, and more still for sub $200 mainstream gaming IPS.

Pixio PXC243 is curved VA which a lot of people hate and still suffers from budget VA syndrome in some disproportionately bad dark grey to grey transition times spiking as high as 30ms even with Overdrive on, and $300 monitors aren't close to being "budget". There are definitely better budget 75Hz monitors out there (eg, AOC 24G2U5/27G2U5 = IPS + 2x HDMI + DP + Freesync + 1400:1 contrast ratio + decent HAS stand, good reviews, etc), but half the comments here seem to be shining examples of Real Gamers (tm) who struggle to understand that for every enthusiast who spends all day on tech forums bragging about their $500 monitor, there are 10-20x more ordinary people who play PC games as one of several hobbies without caring enough about 144Hz, competitive FPS gaming or $400 GPU's that they become the centre of their universe. Hence why the market still overwhelmingly consists of 88% (1080p or lower) / 6% (1440p) / 2% (4K) / 2% (Ultrawide) and GTX 1x50/1x60 GPU's (that won't get stable +100fps in new games).

I would.
 
Meanwhile most IPS monitors can be overclocked to 74-75Hz.

A "gaming" monitor, my buttocks.
