Triple Monitor Fantasy Achieved !!!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Paid $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!

Asus 27" IPS LCD FullHD monitor
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I 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.

My new 27" Asus Monitor
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5The 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.

Q: QuestionIt says 144hz refresh rate. I'm only getting 60hz refresh rate. It's hooked up to a Nvidia GE Force RTX 2080ti. Why??? Speakers are horrible. Had to buy external speaker system.
Asked by DiamondHeadXLR8.
- A:Answer Right click on your desktop. Click "Display Setings" On the bottom of the page click " Advanced Display settings" You should see your monitor and on the bottom it should have a link "Display Adapter Properties" Cick that. go to monitor tab and chooke 144hz refresh rate I hope this helps :)

Q: QuestionWill this get 120 frames per second on the PlayStation 5? I have read different places that this maxes out at 60 frames per second on the PlayStation 5 even though it is 144 frames per second capable. This makes no sense to me. Okease clarify.
Asked by Nickname123.
- A:Answer It wont.... It does not display 120 Hz on the PS5 as the HDMI port is limited to 60 Hz only. Unfortunately I am stuck with this monitor and am super disappointed
