I heard this model is quiet old and has washed color based on reviews?

Maybe this is the same monitor as the Asus one?

It’s old, but it uses the same panel as basically all the other 1080p 144hz. And they all have washed colors because they are all TN. No IPS 1080p 144hz monitors. You have to go to 1440p for that.

Specs looks good to me, do you have any experience with this monitor?

Thank you. Do you think recalibrating the settings will help adjust the “washed color” of TN panel?

I have had the Asus one and I think it's worth the money. Maybe not for Photoshop but for gaming, Yes!

I tried to calibrate it with a Colormunki and it makes a difference

I went 4K after that monitor and now I have an Ultra Wide 1440p.

XG2401 is usually a better value than the VG248QE, though depends on prices in your region.
