Hello,
I just got an Asus PG248q, the first thing I did was changing the refresh rate to 180Hz, as its the main the feature of this monitor.
The first thing I immediately noticed were persistent/constant horizontal scan lines on the left lower side of the monitor.
I tried a few things, changing the refresh rate was the only thing that worked. The lower I set the refresh rate the less faint scan lines do I get.
If I set it to 144Hz the lines are still there and sometimes I get strange lines moving down the monitor.
I wanted to ask if someone got the same issue with this monitor or if its a gerenal issue with 144+ Hz monitors.
I already tried several things, eliminating electronical interference, reinstall drivers, using older drivers, nothing helped.
When I turn GSYNC off the moving artifacts are gone while I still got scan lines(most visible at 180Hz).
I ran the Inversion Uniformity Test at TESTUFO which was blinking, what it should not do.
I ended up in returning it yesterday, I am now waiting for a new one.
Are there any PG248Q Users who can share their experience?
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
having a replacement for 2 days now. I noticed that the scan lines are still there. Guess its just the way it is with this monitor, or its a problem with my hardware setup or a driver issue.
On the other side I kind of fixed the moving artifacts/waves/lines by setting the "real" refresh rate of the monitor to i.e. 143,74 Hz and the moving artifacts are gone.
But this one has a yellow-ish look on half of the monitor. I will receive my third monitor tomorrow, if there are still any problems I am switching to a different model.
Best of luck to you, I hope you will receive a good one!

Hello,
yes, it looks like on the picture you posted. But I have to say its not that visible like on your picture, slightly less.
But its even the same spot, top left corner.
