Customer Ratings & Reviews

I returned it not cause it was bad but because I mostly play single player, horror, zombie titles, RPGs and ultimately preferred stunning liquid visuals but it absolutely stays true to it's refresh rate claims, hits sweet spot in size, multiple orientations, and competitive price, ASUS

This is one of the best 280Hz Monitor I ever got. You can overclock it to 280Hz. CS GO and CS 2 has been amazing with this. I run a 4090 and its smooth as butter running the game.

Great monitor for the price, admire the adjustability and refresh rate for gaming

I love this monitor has it for almost 2 years now. Works great with my series x and gaming pc. 120fps works well on this and the refresh rate and 1ms helps a lot in warzone. Went from 5 kills to double digits because of the clarity and fast response. Highly recommended I run 1080p if u want 4k it runs on 60 fps

Great quality everything looks great on screen a surprising amount of customizability regarding how you want the screen to look. I highly recommend this monitor.

This is an excellent monitor for the money! The text is clear, there are numerous inputs for all of your devices, and set up was easy. The monitor feels very stable on the desk

This monitor has the best quality and graphics that i have seen by far it is definitely worth it if your looking for a monitor that has crystal clear and vivid graphics!

This monitor is of great quality except for the issue I am experiencing with a faulty display port connection. Hopefully I get this issue resolved soon, but overall great product.

Well worth it fast refresh rate aswell you won’t waste your money so if your looking just buy lol.

Perfect monitor for beginners, great price, easy to setup light weight.

Overall the best monitor I’ve purchased. Everything I wanted and a great price.

This is monitor is so good I bought a second one!!

One of the best monitor out there Asus have done a great job

Awesome Monitor! It works great with my Ps5 and Xbox!

I wanted to maximize the use of my RTX 3060 graphics card. Knowing my limitations there were no need for me to push the envelope by buying a 4k resolution monitor but I did want to be able to pretty much play as many game titles as possible while maxing out the graphics. This monitor is the perfect match for accomplishing my pc gaming setup goals at 1080p. I mostly play online multiplayer competitive games so the resolution was not as valuable to me as the fps, again, taking into account my limitations of my graphics card.

No issues out of the box. Pleasantly surprised with the actual size and vibrant colors. My first true gaming monitor.

ASUS has done it again! If you are looking for a solid gaming monitor with adjustability and customization in mind, your search can stop here. After using this monitor for a couple of days, this monitor has been truly remarkable. The 27-inch antiglare full HD display with 1ms response time offers a gorgeous gaming experience. The IPS panel provides incredible viewing angles as well as fantastic colors. You can also overclock the monitor to a whopping 280Hz refresh rate! Great for next-gen consoles. In this review, I will go into more depth on why this monitor may be for you. *TLDR at bottom ===================================================================================== IN THE BOX/SET-UP: In the box, you will receive a tightly packed 27” monitor, monitor stand, the AC adapter, power cable, HDMI cable, DisplayPort cable, set-up sheet, and warranty guide. Set-up does not take long at all, all I needed to do was to attach the monitor stand to the monitor, plug in some cables, and I was ready to go! Before doing anything, I also played around with the display settings which I will go into more depth later. ===================================================================================== ADJUSTABILITY/PHYSICAL FEATURES/SOUND: This ASUS monitor is adjustable. Height, horizontal viewing adjustment, vertical viewing adjustment are all some of the ways to adjust the viewing angle of the monitor. This monitor can also be adjusted to be placed vertically if you so desire. This maneuverability is great as it makes it easier to add other monitors into the mix. The monitor contains several ports. It contains 1 USB port, 2 HDMI ports, 1 DisplayPort, and a headphone jack. The monitor also contains a tiny analog stick and buttons to get around in the display settings. By clicking down once on the analog stick you get a list of all the adjustable settings. The first button is for canceling/exit, the second button opens the “GamePlus” options. Here you can add an overlay of the refresh rate, timer, and more. The third button opens the “GameVisual” options. This allows you to select from a list of various visual modes such as scenery mode, cinema mode, FPS mode, and sRGB mode. I mostly used sRGB mode for games and wow, this mode does an excellent job at bringing out the colors and visuals the developer wants you to see in games. The monitor does contain 2-watt built-in speakers. This is probably the worst feature on the monitor. Understandably, most monitors do have terrible built-in speakers, and this one is one of them. I would recommend using headphones or having an external speaker for sound. ===================================================================================== DISPLAY QUALITY/FEATURES: This Full HD display delivers wonderful resolution when gaming. The monitor does a terrific job at displaying vivid colors whether I am gaming, watching videos, or completing work. The bezels are minimal as well which brings out the display even more. Like I mentioned before, I mostly used the display in sRGB mode. This mode seemed to appear the best for most games. I did play around with the other modes and enjoyed how each mode did enhance the game visually regardless of whatever game you were playing. FPS brightens colors more, so you’ll be able to spot your enemies from afar. Cinema mode darkens the display and adds a filter which is great for when you want to watch a film or video. To sum it up, each mode is different from the other so play around with them all to find the best visuals for whatever you are doing. The monitor does contain many customizable features from image, color, to general gaming settings. This monitor can be overclocked to 280HZ which can be done through the monitor’s settings. There is also a shadow boost, which brings out the darker colors for those dark games. I played Alien: Isolation and thought having this feature was a godsend since most of the game is played in dark areas and is downright terrifying if you’ve played it. You can also mess with the general contrast and color settings such as color temperature, saturation, and skin tone. There is also the option to save your customized settings into a save spot. (4 spots available) Another feature I thought was nice was the ability to lock the monitor’s controls. This is done by holding the first button for 5 seconds. To disable it, you do hold the same button again. Great to stop people from messing with your settings! ===================================================================================== CONCLUSION/TLDR: To conclude, this monitor is truly stunning. The adjustable Full HD monitor with the IPS panel allows for some amazing viewing angles and 1ms response time did indeed bring out quick performance. Some of the most notable features the monitor has is the ability to overclock the monitor to 280Hz, shadow boost, “GameVisual” modes, and the ability to save different monitor settings into save spots. (4 spots available) The only downside with the monitor was the built-in 2-watt speaker. The speakers are terrible, and I do recommend using headphones or an external speaker. If you need a new gaming monitor with customization, and adjustability in mind, I wholeheartedly do recommend you try this one out.

Overall, the ASUS GAMING TUF VG279QM is a top-performing gaming monitor that is well worth considering for anyone looking for a high-refresh-rate display with excellent image quality.

Hands down great buy. This is my second ASUS monitor I’ve bought and I use both for my pc setup

I’d like a bit more quality but this work perfectly fine.
