About this product
A 27-inch ASUS TUF Gaming monitor with IPS LCD panel, 1920x1080 resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and 300 cd/m² brightness. Features DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and a 3-year warranty. Black design.
Our take
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG279QML5A is a well-rounded 1080p high-refresh monitor. The 240Hz IPS panel is responsive with 1ms response, and colors look good out of the box. Brightness at 300 cd/m² is adequate for most rooms, though not outstanding. I appreciate the inclusion of both DisplayPort and HDMI, plus a 3-year warranty gives peace of mind. The stand only tilts, so you'll need a VESA mount for height adjustment. The 1080p on 27-inch is less sharp than 1440p, but for competitive gaming it's fine. Overall, a reliable choice from ASUS's TUF line, especially with the warranty.
