Our Verdict

ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM

ViewSonic XG2431

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM and the ViewSonic XG2431 are both great gaming monitors. They both have similar motion handling, but the ViewSonic has a more versatile backlight strobing feature since you can adjust the pulse width and phase to your liking. The ViewSonic is also better for console gaming because it downscales a 4k image, which the ASUS can't do. Although both have 240Hz refresh rates, you can overclock the ASUS to 280Hz with a DisplayPort connection.
