About this product
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG279Q3A is a 27-inch IPS gaming monitor with a 1080p resolution and a high 180 Hz refresh rate. It boasts a 1ms response time and supports Adaptive-Sync, making it ideal for competitive gaming. The monitor features both HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, and offers tilt, wall-mount, and flat screen design. It combines fast performance with IPS color accuracy, priced at $169.95 for gamers on a budget.
Our take
The VG279Q3A punches above its price point. The 180 Hz refresh rate is buttery smooth for fast-paced shooters and racing games, and the 1ms response time keeps motion crisp. The IPS panel delivers decent colors and wide viewing angles, a step up from cheaper TN panels. Adaptive-Sync eliminates tearing without breaking the bank. However, at 27 inches, 1080p can look a bit soft, and the brightness isn't specified but feels adequate. The stand is tilt-only, so you'll want a VESA arm for full adjustability. For under $170, this is a fantastic gaming monitor for esports titles, but don't expect deep blacks or HDR performance.
