Our Verdict
ASUS VG245H
ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q
The ASUS ROG PG279Q is significantly better than the ASUS VG245H. The ROG has a larger, higher-resolution screen, and faster refresh rate. The ROG also has better gray uniformity and wider viewing angles. Motion looks better on the PG279Q due to the faster response time and the optional Black Frame Insertion feature. The stand on the VG245H is slightly better, as the ergonomic adjustments have a slightly wider range.
