I bought a PA238Q a while back, and I use it now as my second monitor. It has incredibly bad persistence... like 20 to 30 seconds of afterimage when I move a window full of text out of the way. Plus the backlight bleed on a black screen is pretty bad.


The PA248Q is a completely different monitor from the PA238Q.

Also, try adjusting the Trace Free function.


Yeah, you wouldn't think so though, given the one-digit difference in name and the way they place it right next to the PA248Q in their marketing materials. That's marketing departments for you, I guess.

Thanks for the tip on Trace Free. It does something for sure.


You are not the only person to get confused by ASUS names, so I quite sympathize.

Someone I know nearly bought what they thought was a great deal on an IPS screen only to be off by a single character.

It was VS228H-P vs VS229H-P

Who names these things?
