Hello

I recently bought this monitor ''ASUS VM259QM'' for cs2 and It felt like something is off.

When I play around, objects around me seems to be blurry and it didnt feel like any upgrade on my 144hz monitor. I tried every possible setting on monitor such as ELMB, adaptive sync, overdrive, gsync and so on and it feels the same all the time. I'm adding a video from csgo to show how it feels.



Is there a something wrong with this or thats totally normal?



Monitor Issue?
 
The ASUS VG259QM has an excellent response time when playing at the maximum refresh rate of 280Hz, resulting in minimal motion blur in fast-moving scenes. Like most monitors, there are many overdrive settings available to customize your gaming experience. We recommend using the '120' overdrive mode, as it provides the best performance with virtually no overshoot. This mode is actually a hidden setting that has to be enabled through the service menu (find out how here). If you don't want to use this hidden mode, the '60' mode is almost as good, but it has a slower rise/fall time, so there's a longer blur trail behind fast-moving objects.
