G-Sync support is great, although if you’re buying a 240Hz screen you’re not likely to be playing games at a) frame rates low enough where G-Sync is a major factor and b) games at quality levels high enough to make use of 240Hz in the first place. The bezel is relatively small – it’s actually thicker at the bottom than the sides or the top, which is a little odd – and being able to disable the red LED in the stand, or customise the insert, is a nice touch. While the PG258Q deliberately has a strong gamer aesthetic, with the stylised vents at the bottom of the stand to the etching on the back of the monitor, it’s quite muted to sit in front of on a day to day basis. The price for all this, incidentally: $899 from most major Australian retailers. ![]() There’s also extra features like the ability to have a crosshair permanently displayed in the centre of the screen, an FPS counter and a timer. ![]() The in-built OSD also has a five level Blue Light Filter, adaptive contrast controls, and six preset modes for various game genres. ![]() The panel itself is a TN model, which is great for low response times but not so good for colour reproduction, viewing angles or good blacks and whites. There’s a plastic insert on the back of the chassis that covers up all the ports, and the stand itself has a central hole for cable management. There’s a 3.5mm audio jack as well, although you’ll want to stick to separate speakers or headphones, and a port for the external power brick. There’s a 100mm x 100mm VESA wall mount at the back once the stand is removed, two USB 3.0 ports, a five way OSD controller and an LED-illuminated logo that can be disabled or customised by tweaking a removable insert. ![]() You’ll want to use DisplayPort if you want to make use of the 240Hz feature, although there’s a HDMI port to plug a console in as well. ![]()
