Bludy gud deale m8t.

was wondering the same, but pretty sure that when it comes to other occupants of that bed, that there would have been lessthannone (whoops!) :smile:

Not a gaming monitor.

Nope, nothing here.
I have just fired off an email as suggested by ThePimp above though - Thanks for that.

Hi all,
For the Doom promo i sent an email to the Asus promo team([email protected]) as it says on the Asus promo website and i got my key and currently downloading doom.Hope this helps as amazon sent me no code either.

Is this good for office use (excel, etc) or can I get better for less?

how does this monitor compare to the similarly priced benq gaming 24" (for ps4 use)

​any news on your code yet? I've still heard nothing..

the monitor will in come two boxes, the main asus box should measure @ 645w x 475h x 140d mm

If anyone as ordered and received one of these could you please post the boxed and unboxed dimensions. Amazon appear to have got them wrong.

Good stuff - Hopefully they get it sorted out soon.

Yes, I know. And now they do as well as I guided the supervisor to it in the call :smiley: Apparently I've got to give him till Thursday to get back to me...

This link to the promotion on their site suggests otherwise.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/b/ref=lp_10281453031_gbps_rlm_s-3_4687_086df336?rh=i%3Acomputers%2Cn%3A10281453031&ie=UTF8&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&node=10281453031

Purchase a qualifying ASUS gaming monitor between 00:01 BST May 9, 2016 and 23:59 BST July 11, 2016 and receive a code to redeem DOOM for free.
The promotion on the following products is only available from 00:01 BST June 13th, 2016:

Asus VS248HR 24 inch 1 ms Gaming Monitor, 1920 x 1080, HDMI, DVI, VGA, 250 cd/m2 <<< This One
Asus VE248HR 24-Inch LED Monitor (16:9, 250 cd/m2, 1920 x 1080, 1 ms, HDMI/VGA/DVI-D)

You should have got the email (automated) on the day u monitor to be delivered . the email is subjected "Benefit Confirmation for your.... "

this email contains the 'promotional code', which is entered here 'www.asus.com/event/2016/rog/doom/ ' at the bottom of the pages with your Monitor Serial No, other details.

Once that is done, Asus will email you two codes , one for the base game and one for the multiplayer pack.


i suggest you to w8 another 24hrs , if not contact ASUS with your details.

LOL, on the phone to Amazon, they're telling me this monitor isn't part of the DOOM promotion..

Nah I've just been checking this site.. http://www.asus.com/event/2016/rog/DOOM/index.aspx?l=1&_ga=1.234387229.225002455.1463830921

I'm stuck on the 'enter your ASUS code' section with no code to enter..

I've had two of these monitors delivered earlier today - no sign of a code yet though.

Amazon will email you a benefit confirmation email with a code - you then go to the ASUS site, register, put all your details in and get a game code.

Thanks, so do you have to register it at Asus then or do Amazon pass on your details?

Its nothing to do with Amazon its an ASUS promotion. They even say if you send the monitor back for no reason they will bill you £59.99 for the DOOM game. It said it somewhere on the promotion page. ASUS are the ones that send the code I think.

I bought it to play Doom..... On my 120hz monitor, this Asus would make an ideal third monitor for web pages etc!

Anyone know how long it takes to get the Doom code from amazon? My monitor is being delivered today but so far there's been no email code..

Well given my main rig weighs 54 kilos I didn't want to lug that around..

Thanks for posting, DealDog.
I find myself using an ancient 17" monitor I found in the loft as my 22" monitor went tits up this morning, but later this week I'll be upgrading to this. (Nice to get Doom thrown in, too!)


Heat added, natch.

Only cheap ones.
Quality IPS panels are now in the range of TN panels for response times, but cost more.

The 1ms claim on this is nonsense though. The panel is a very basic TN panel running at 60Hz, with overdrive applied.

I'm not knocking it - it's fine for the price. But this is as suited to office work as much as it is for 'gaming'. It's a bog standard 1080p, 60Hz, TN panel for a reasonable price. Nothing more.

Anyone who buys this monitor and has no need for Doom, I'll gladly take it off your hands :smile:

Only played Doom and Overwatch on this monitor and didn't have any issues with blacks. I've done all the calibration stuff for gamma and contrast and they all seem to show decent black/white detail. I think an IPS panel would probably be better for black depth, but for response times and lag TN panels are usually better.

How is it for dark scenes? I criminally use a LG ultrawide to game on as it's the only monitor I have and navigating a game in dark scenes is awful. If this is OK for that I'll definitely buy

Gaming laptop??? No

I'm no MLG Pro, but it seems pretty good. Don't notice any ghosting or lag

How is it for gaming?

riem14 me spelling English with an I at the beginning is taking the mick out of others earlier getting upset about the level of spelling & grammar. Where as many would say is the message conveyed getting across

Bludy gud deale m8t.

Good monitor - bought one for my gaming laptop for when i'm at the mistresses house :smiley: Only need 1080p for that and if you read the reviews is very good for the money.

Also, can confirm, games do work on it.

Heat added. Mainly for the first answer posted in the Amazon Q&A section for this monitor. Made me chuckle.

​You don't have to use free sync, I would personally go for view sonic its 75Hz and cheaper

This or the viewsonic with freesync?

uwotm8?

Also do you know Vsauce?

Both are acceptable.

What is this a forum to exchange information on bargains, or an Inglish class????

You learn something new everyday here don't you!?
thank goodness there's always someone close by to correct our terrible spelling and grammatical errors. :laughing:

literally bought this monitor a few weeks ago. it's great can't complain. tad gutted I missed the deal but I already own the game.

Cheers, learnt something new. Or is that learned?

was wondering the same, but pretty sure that when it comes to other occupants of that bed, that there would have been lessthannone (whoops!) :smile:

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? :smile:

Not a gaming monitor.

Good price with free Doom none the less
