About this product
The ASUS VG27A 90LM0500-B013B0 is a 27-inch HDR gaming monitor from ASUS's TUF Gaming line. It features HDR support for enhanced contrast and color, and it's designed for immersive gaming. The monitor has a 2560x1440 resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, though not fully listed in specs. With a 1ms response time, it's built for fast-paced games. Connectivity includes DisplayPort and HDMI. This model combines high refresh rate and resolution for a competitive edge.
Our take
I've been using the ASUS VG27A for a month now, and it's a solid performer for the price. The 27-inch IPS panel delivers vibrant colors and good viewing angles. HDR mode adds punch to games and movies, though peak brightness is modest. The 165Hz refresh rate feels smooth in shooters, and 1ms response keeps motion blur minimal. Build quality is good with a sturdy stand. My main gripe is that out-of-the-box HDR calibration could be better—I had to tweak settings. Also, the on-screen display menu is clunky. Overall, a great value monitor for competitive gaming.
