Is 240Hz worth it over a 144Hz monitor?

For fast shooters, yes: the jump from 144Hz to 240Hz is noticeable in tracking and flick shots. For slower story games the gain is small.

Does it work with a PS5 or Xbox Series X?

It connects over HDMI, but consoles cap output well below 240Hz at 1080p, so you get the panel's speed only from a capable PC.

Is the TN panel a problem for everyday use?

For gaming it is fine. For photo work or wide viewing from a couch, its colors and angles are weaker than an IPS screen.

Does it have built-in speakers or a USB hub?

No. It has two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort, so plan on external speakers and a separate USB hub.

Can it be mounted on an arm?

Yes, it has a VESA mount, which frees desk space and lets you set the screen height and angle yourself.

Our take on the ASUS ROG Strix XG258Q Monitor LED

The ROG Strix XG258Q is a 24.5-inch 1080p gaming monitor built for fast competitive play. Its TN panel reaches 240Hz with a 1 ms response time, and ASUS rates brightness at 400 cd/m² with a 1000:1 contrast ratio. Two HDMI ports and DisplayPort cover consoles and PCs. Against 27-inch 1440p rivals it trades resolution and viewing angles for speed and a smaller, easier-to-track screen. Owners rate it highly for smoothness in shooters; the usual TN complaints about color and off-angle viewing apply.
