ASUS - 27" IPS LCD FHD FreeSync Gaming Monitor (DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI) - Black

Paid $199 each (Xmas sale) for two of these VG279Q 144 Hz 1080 monitors and I added them to my existing $699 PG279Q. They are nearly identical form factor so they look perfect as wings for my primary 165hz 1440 version in a triple monitor setup. When I play First Person Shooters I use my center monitor at full 165 Hz and 1440 with the two side monitors for Steam, web surfing, and Discord, etc. Then when I do flight sim or driving, I run the center monitor at 144 Hz and 1080 to match the less expensive side monitors. Then I stretch the image for a super immersive experience. I was thinking of getting a 49" but triple 27" gives me more visual real estate and I can easily drive all three of them with one 2080Ti video card. Only VR is more immersive. You could do what I am doing with three of these but for FPS I like the extra bang I get from the PG279Q in the center even if it is not really necessary. Anyway, I highly recommend this setup. It rocks!

I love this Asus monitor. Excellent picture when playing pc games such as Steam. There different picture modes to choose from. And you can also sync in your PS3 and Ps4 via 1 hdmi. If it only has 2 hdmi ports. For my Asus GU502 laptop at 144hz 1080p, the monitor refresh rate the same. Since it also has display port. But I don't have a heavy desktop. I still use hdmi output from my laptop, and added an extra peripheral. Such as an hdmi-dvi converter from rocketfish I bought used. The only downside is the audio. It has 2 headphone jack. But sound quality is excellent if you use kliptch 2.1 audio soundsyste. Computer speakers. Or you can substitute using Sony portable xb-40 speaker. Last option, get a home audio surround sound. Has hdmi built in that works. Overall this Asus 27" inch gaming monitor is a must have. Plus you can exchange the height and tilt it as well.

The Good: Good picture Adjusts approx: 5" up or all the way down to the base. The Bad: Monitor is a little wider then I needed for home use. But boy does it make the online print newspaper easy to read. and the Ugly: Terrible, Terrible Speakers, they could have left them out for what good the are. I added external speakers from my Microsoft docking station, love them.

I was using a gaming laptop to play my favorite game (OVERWATCH) and was restricted to 60 Hz refresh rate. Hooked this bad boy using the display port (monitor comes with display port cable but I had to buy one with a mini display connector end) and have had no issues. The picture is crisp and smooth and the monitor looks sleek (and is light). It’s made of mostly plastic but high quality and for the price point, you can’t really beat it. I highly recommend this monitor but warn you that it will spoil you forever and you will not be able to go back to 60 Hz games.

ASUS makes some very fine monitors. From the build quality to the picture quality. A great monitor for both work and leisure. I highly recommend this to all who are looking for higher frames for their gaming sessions.

Montior works great bright colors rotation accessible only issue was it didn't support 120hz on my PS5. So that's the only reason I exchanged it for a gigabyte Monitor with does support that. Lady at the counter has been getting a lot of returns for the same reason so I would consider doing some research before purchasing.

Excellent size, color and features for the Black Friday price.

I love it never had any problems at all. It was a good Choice
