So i recently bought this pc and I was playing some newer games in the 1080p mode which worked normal(cs2, valo). Then i tried to play Just Cause 3 on the 4k and 1080p both modes but it is just crashing the monitor. When I load up the game the monitor just crashes and fails to recognize my laptop. My laptop is a 2022 Asus TUF Dash F15 with a 3050, and i currently have a usb c dock connected with it to use dp. I suspect the dock to be the issue as i need to buy a dp cable that goes from my laptop directly into my monitor aswell. I asked Gemini and it said that maybe because Just Cause 3 is an old game, it is not supporting it but I'm not sure. But if anyone else is having similar issues or if someone knows anything please help.

Hey everyone,

I’m stuck choosing between two 24.5" high refresh rate monitors and could really use some real-world opinions.

Option 1: ASUS TUF Gaming (VG259QMRL5A)
– 1080p Fast IPS
– 310Hz, 0.3ms
– G-Sync compatible, HDR400, 99% sRGB

Option 2: KTC 24.5" 300Hz monitor
– 300Hz via DP 1.4 (240Hz on HDMI)
– 1080p Fast IPS
– 1ms MPRT, Adaptive Sync
– 119% sRGB, 350 nits brightness
– Height adjust, pivot, VESA mount
– 3-year warranty

On paper, the KTC actually looks really competitive, especially for the price. Specs-wise it doesn’t seem far off from ASUS at all.

For context, I mostly play CS2 and Valorant at around 320–340 FPS, so I’m trying to get something that actually takes advantage of that and feels as smooth as possible.

My concerns:

• I can’t really find solid reviews for this exact KTC model (Amazon/YouTube/etc.), which feels kinda sketchy
• Not sure how reliable KTC is in terms of panel quality, ghosting, backlight bleed, dead pixels, etc.
• ASUS feels like the safer, more proven option, but also more expensive

So I wanted to ask:

• Has anyone here used a KTC monitor long-term?
• Are the specs actually legit in real-world use?
• Is the lack of reviews a red flag?
• For competitive FPS, would you just go ASUS for peace of mind?

Would really appreciate honest feedback before I pull the trigger
