Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been looking for a monitor for my daughter to use that checks a lot of the boxes of being an excellent gaming monitor, but doesn't break the bank since she is on a budget.The Asus TUF Gaming 27" monitor has been everything we were looking for and more, and for much less than a lot of the competition! The 180hz refresh is perfect for her setup, it offers a fantastic refresh rate but doesn't overtax her Graphics Card, which is perfect because her card is mid grade and couldn't handle anything higher. Being 1080p also helps, its a great HD resolution but does not require the higher end GPU's that can run higher resolutions. The monitor itself looks very nice, and was easy to get plugged in and set up. The menu options and color settings offer all the variety that we need, without making things super complicated which is nice as well. Overall the ASUS TUF Gaming 27" is definitely a top choice in my opinion, if you are looking for something to get you into the gaming monitor market without breaking the bank!

The ASUS VG279Q3A is an updated monitor in their TUF line of gaming peripherals. Technically, TUF represents their mid line, compared to their higher tier ROG line. That’s definitely not to say the quality is subpar, the intent and design are slightly different. Kind of like Toyota vs Lexus. Still plenty of quality, just minus the extras. Like all recent IPS gaming screens, this has a fast 180 mHz 1 ms response time, so you don’t need to worry about screen tear during games. The 27 in screen is nice and big, and color templates can be switched around for the viewing purpose. One thing I would critique is that there is no ability to adjust the height of the monitor. I’m guessing ASUS engineers felt like given the 27 in screen size, people wouldn’t need to lift it much, but in my case, the way my desk is set up, I wanted to be able to raise the top of the screen about 2 in. Easily fixed by placing on a riser, but still. Other than that, with the FHD resolution, it was crisp playing PS5 and as a screen for my docked laptop. Fast, big IPS screen that gives you a ton of bang for your buck

I use 1080P monitors for anything OTHER THAN gaming usually, but for testing purposes I hooked this up to a gaming laptop via HDMI connection and gave it a whirl. Colors are brilliant and I was able to hit the 180 FPS limits of this monitor without any issues. Because of the testing of this monitor, I've now setup a permanent placement for the gaming laptop paired with this monitor. It really brought some new life to games I usually play at 1080P but have longed to play on a larger monitor. As with any other ASUS product, you pay for the name, but you also get what you pay for - a quality item that is worth every red cent you put out to get that name. I would have liked some small built-in speakers, but I'm guessing due to the limitations of sound quality that those would bring were the deciding factor to not put them on the monitor. Oh well - I'll live :-) ASUS continues to impress me - keep 'em coming ASUS! I would appreciate a lower price tag but then I really doubt they could continue to put out the quality that they do.

27 inches and 1080p monitor with 180hz refresh is a very good monitor for gaming and watching videos.

The only regret I have with this purchase is that I didn't measure the dimensions of my desk beforehand, but that's on me. Picture is super big and super clean. There are a lot of buttons and such for the screen display settings and multiple hdmi ports which I havent really played around with yet, but honestly the screen is so big I can't see a reason why I would need to hook up more monitors anyways. Has decent sound quality too, but speakers/headphones are never a bad idea either c:

Awesome! Perfect gift for my son’s 11th birthday at a great price!

Thank You, you have told me Everything I required in a few brief words delivered correctly. Again I Thank You !!! You just do not find correct answers all the time (and I'm a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, And I can tell you know exactly what you are speaking about. Period ! Mike

This is a good monitor. Speakers could be much better and the screen is too bright so it hurts your eyes.

We got this monitor thinking that it would be a nice upgrade to our 11-year-old son's PC gaming setup. 27" is a good size, plus the advertised benefits would (should) show an improvement to the gaming experience. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver. Unboxing was nothing out of the ordinary. The monitor is sandwiched between two molded Styrofoam blocks, with the documentation, cords, and base in pockets on the outside of the blocks. It made for great protections, but it definitely takes two to unbox it to prevent the accessories from falling out, and to pull the carton away. Assembly was less than expected. The "manual" is only 2 pages of tiny non-descriptive line drawings, and the numbering of each step can easily confuse anyone. Luckily, it's very self-explanatory. Setup went very smoothly. Due to the sheer number of available input options, we were able to utilize the existing DisplayPort and power cables, which meant that cable management wasn't disturbed. The only complaint here is that the actual inputs are tucked vertically under a small lip, and the molded input names/types are very hard to read. I had to get direct light to be able to find the correct input. Upon power-up, it walks you through a brief, and by 'brief' I mean 2 questions on power usage, setup. From there, the automatic input determination immediately found the source and began display. The remainder of the setup is done using the haptic joystick and 4 molded buttons on the back of the monitor case. There was no guidance at all as to what feature was what and how to best utilize each setting. Luckily, knowledge of gaming nomenclature came in handy here. The settings are definitely different, but once chosen, there isn't any ability to tweak them. I also found it disappointing that it didn't automatically determine what type of game was being played so as to provide the best graphic combination possible. We had to set it up for FPS when playing that game, adjust to scenery mode when in a strategy game, and so forth. Text is very pixelated, no matter what, which was surprising. For a unit to advertise its graphics capabilities, it's very grainy. It's also very easy to tell, that despite being "Nvidia G-SYNC compatible", that it definitely requires PCs with GPUs that have that feature. If it had a built-in processor, it would be worlds beyond where it is now. Overall, the size is the only thing it has going for it. Being advertised as a motion-graphics-intensive-capable monitor, it struggles to define even the smallest tasks in a smooth, linear, non-pixelated manner. I would look elsewhere if motion is top priority.

bought about 2 years ago, already gone out.. display constantly flashes to black and intterupts game play. unable to run on 144hz after the first year had to go down to 120 now its unusable completely, not recommended
