About this product
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQM5A is a 27-inch QHD (2560x1440) Fast IPS monitor with a blazing 300Hz refresh rate and 0.3ms response time. It offers a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, 16.7 million colors, and features G-Sync compatibility for tear-free gaming. Priced at $223.49, this monitor is aimed at competitive gamers seeking high refresh rates and sharp resolution.
Our take
The VG27AQM5A is an absolute beast for competitive gaming. The 300Hz refresh rate combined with 0.3ms response time makes everything buttery smooth. QHD resolution is a sweet spot for sharp visuals without needing a top-tier GPU. Colors look vibrant on the Fast IPS panel, and the 1,300:1 contrast ratio helps in darker scenes. However, I did notice some IPS glow in corners. The build feels sturdy, but the OSD menu could be more intuitive. For the price, it's a fantastic high-refresh 1440p monitor.
