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.

Perfect for gaming
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:Design, SizeI needed a smaller monitor or tv for gaming in my office. Based on my size limits, a Best Buy representative recommended this. I play my XBOne on this monitor (mostly shooters). It has been perfect. I sit back away from the monitor and can easily still see. I prefer this monitor to my old ~50 inch Panasonic tv I had gamed on for years. Beautiful graphics. Sometimes I notice the screen looking wavy when it’s been sitting on a title screen, but it goes away..

Triple Monitor Fantasy Achieved !!!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Price, Set upPaid $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!

My first 144 Hz monitor!!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Design, PriceI 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.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:DesignI have had a dell monitor for over 4 years now, and thought I needed an upgrade for gaming and art purposes. I have had a lot of thoughts of what I wanted. What I liked about my dell monitor was the fact that it was sturdy but sleek. So getting this Asus, with all the same aspects that I liked about my last monitor but much better regarding the specs. I’d recommend this to anyone who is looking for something basic and affordable with high performance.

Asus Gaming Monitor (Not PS5 120hz Compatible)

Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:ColorMontior 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.

Beautiful large display
|Posted .Owned for 6 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This monitor has been amazing for upgrading my home office. The colors are great and the aesthetics are nice. I switched to a wall mount, but when I was using the stand it functioned well. Only improvement I would suggest the stand be able to raise up higher, because rotating to portrait mode is not very good clearance. Not an issue if you mount it to the wall. Some features like fps counter and the high refresh rate would see more use if I was a gamer, but I have that as an option going forward.
