Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Asus monitor is a pretty great value for what you’re getting. I intend for this to replace another 75Hz 1080p monitor at 14 inches. A few people told me that going up to 27 inches without a resolution increase can make an upgrade like this not worthwhile but I disagree. This TUF monitor is fairly sharp with good color reproduction. I didn’t aim this for production work (I have other monitors for that) but I can see that I could use this in a pinch if I needed a 4th monitor and need to match. In terms of brightness, it’s fairly average compared to other monitors I’ve used and seen at this price range, so I’m fairly satisfied. But what I’m really satisfied with is the refresh rate. I really didn’t’ think that 240Hz would make a difference coming from 75Hz and experiencing 165Hz, but it seems to make a huge difference when playing competitive games such as Counter Strike. I don’t get much tearing and I don’t experience much blur. I guess when you’ve lived with 75Hz then move to 240Hz, you get used to the slow latency. This monitor definitely improved my game. I tried it with Starfield and yeah, I don’t have a powerful enough computer to push it to its limits even at 1080 but it worked well and really surprised me as to the quality. 1080p gaming isn’t dead! One thing that is new for me is that I had to lower my settings to max out the monitor. You honestly don’t have to this in practice, but I have a pretty nice 6950XT so it just proves to me that higher rez gaming really isn’t here yet. I really wish they put a USB-C hub connection in the back instead of using the older connectors! USB-B 3.0 is so big, uncool, and last decade. My wife asked me why I was sighing so badly after looking at the back of the monitor. Yes, it’s 2023, so let’s get back to the future. I highly recommend this monitor for 1080P gaming. There’s not much to find wrong with the monitor. They hit all the things that matter with a good price to boot!

Introduction: The world of gaming monitors is a fiercely competitive one, with countless options vying for gamers' attention. Enter the Asus TUF Gaming VG27VQM, a curved gaming monitor that promises a lot in terms of performance and immersion. After spending considerable time with this monitor, I'm ready to share my thoughts on what it gets right and where it falls short. Design and Build Quality: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Let's start with the design - the VG27VQM is undoubtedly a looker. Its curved 27-inch display, minimal bezels, and RGB lighting on the back make it an aesthetically pleasing addition to any gaming setup. The build quality is solid, with a sturdy stand and good overall construction. However, it's worth noting that the stand is quite large and may not fit on smaller desks. Display Performance: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The VG27VQM boasts a 165Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, which is a dream come true for competitive gamers. The curve of the screen adds to the immersive gaming experience, making you feel like you're right in the action. Colors are vibrant, and thanks to its 1080p resolution, games look sharp and detailed.However, one of the shortcomings of this monitor is its VA panel. While it offers excellent contrast, it falls short in terms of viewing angles and color accuracy compared to IPS panels. This may not be a deal-breaker for most gamers, but content creators might find it lacking. HDR and Adaptive Sync: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) The VG27VQM supports HDR10, which is a nice addition for those who want a more dynamic visual experience. However, the HDR performance is somewhat underwhelming. Brightness levels don't quite reach the desired peak, and the overall HDR effect is not as impressive as on some other monitors. As for Adaptive Sync, it's a great feature for tearing-free gaming, but it's limited to AMD FreeSync. NVIDIA users won't be able to take advantage of G-Sync compatibility, which is a drawback for those with NVIDIA graphics cards. Connectivity: ★★★★☆ (4/5) In terms of connectivity, the VG27VQM offers a decent array of options. It includes two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4, allowing you to connect multiple devices simultaneously. There's also a USB 3.0 hub for convenience. User Experience: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The on-screen display (OSD) menu is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to customize settings to your liking. The included joystick controller on the back of the monitor is a thoughtful addition that simplifies navigation.One downside is the lack of built-in speakers, which means you'll need external audio solutions for sound. Also, the RGB lighting, while attractive, might not be everyone's cup of tea, and it can be distracting in a dark room. Conclusion: The Asus TUF Gaming VG27VQM is a strong contender in the gaming monitor market. Its high refresh rate, low response time, and immersive curved display make it a great choice for gamers. However, it's not without its drawbacks, including the limitations of the VA panel, underwhelming HDR, and the absence of G-Sync support for NVIDIA users. Overall, if you're primarily a gamer and can overlook these shortcomings, the VG27VQM is a solid choice. It offers an excellent gaming experience with an attractive design. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars, with room for improvement in certain areas. Pros:High refresh rate and low response time for smooth gaming.Immersive curved display.Sturdy build quality and appealing design.User-friendly OSD menu. Cons:VA panel limitations in viewing angles and color accuracy.HDR performance falls short of expectations.Limited to AMD FreeSync for Adaptive Sync.No built-in speakers.

I am a heavy gamer, including twitch games like COD/Destiny/Overwatch, but also use my main computer for work, which includes content creation, routine web browsing/correspondence, excel etc. As a twitch gamer, I am in LOVE with the speed of this monitor. BUT, you do need need to keep in mind of the resolution of this monitor, this is an 1080p monitor. There are pros and cons to this. The PRO is you do not need a very powerful graphics card to hit high fps (frame rates) to match the 240hz at this resolution, which is clearly what this monitor is designed for. I was able to manuever, respond to my mouse, etc. with basically instant clarity, without tearing, without halo's or blurring, very beautiful, competitive level monitor. As a content creator, colors, distortions matter to me. The geometry, the scaling, perfect. What bothered me, and it could just be my unique unit, was the colors appeared washed out slightly more than my Samsung Neo G9 or ASUS XG27UQ, slightly less bright/nits. It's beautiful, it's clear, but side by side there is definitely a difference and appears more washed/less contrast. I do appreciate the tool-less mounting of the mount to monitor, that was a nice touch. The monitor feels premium, well built/sturdy My conclusion is - this is a gamer monitor, mostly for competitive players. You can build a nice machine with a economically priced graphics card due to 1080p resolution, and have a very competitive/twitch friendly/tear-free experience. This is perfect for my daughter's gaming rig, running a Nvidia 3070 video card. But as far as faithful color reproduction, content creation, the fast screen rate of the monitor is overkill, and the less than faithful reproduction, this is not the monitor for that purpose.

Great upgrade from my old monitor. HDR looks crazy good on it. Love the refresh rate. Definitely wouod recommend fir a decent price.

Asus does really good monitors in my experience. For them to come out with what I would consider an entry level, curved, 1080p, 240hz monitor with other top tier gaming functions is a win for us consumers. Let's start with the size, 27 inches of IPS LED panel. It's a good size for anyone looking for a good entry or just limited on desk space. It's also unexpected to find that this monitor has built in speakers that actually sound decent. I'd expect with the savings in this monitor that you will still have a budget to opt for a headset for gaming but if money is tight the built in speakers are fine. For me the curved screen is a gimmick but there's something about it's overall design that just calls out "Asus gaming" when you see it in person. While playing PS5 and PC gaming, I loved using this monitor. I personally would opt for the bigger 31.5" version but if all you need is a fast screen then this is it. 240hz refresh rate, 1ms response time is the selling point after all. For all other uses I have opted for a 4/5 star because the picture quality falls short. I played around with the built in presets and even the windows display settings and there is a lack of true color representation. The images are also not as crisp as when you load up a game for some reason. Even changing the HDR options it seems like some degradation is there. I hope that maybe down the line there may be a firmware update to help with this small issue.

This ASUS TUF Gaming 27" curved monitor exceeded my expectations. The 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make gaming incredibly smooth, and the FreeSync Premium support eliminates any screen tearing. The HDR support enhances visuals with deeper contrast, and the adjustable height stand adds to the ergonomic comfort. There are very few options in the 27” curved category at this quality, and this one stands out. Great value for performance—highly recommended for gamers!

This monitor was excellent i use this a lot I've reccomended it to all my friends and they bought it too because of how nice it is i love the 240hz and fully audjustability that this monitor has to offer.

This pc monitor is amazing! I wasnt sure how i would feel about the 1080p screen but between the price and preference definitely recommend this. Especially for competition gaming or budget builds. Amazing work ASUS!

Great monitor , found out best settings for asus Overdrive is either 2 or 3. 5 will cause massive input lag that you will notice especially when playing top players.

I love the monitor and the curveness to it. Upgraded from regular tv to gaming was the best

Perfect gaming monitor, 27 inch 240hz you can’t beat it especially if play a lot of FPS games but also great picture quality for everything. Have never been disappointed by Asus monitors

Really like this monitor! The curved screen makes gaming and videos more immersive, and the 240Hz refresh rate keeps everything smooth. Kids love using it—it’s fast, responsive, and the visuals look great. Overall, a good choice for gaming.

Curved is better on the eyes for main monitor. Has just the right number of ports. Refresh rate is awesome and picture quality is fantastic.

Pretty good monitor, haven’t had a single problem with it, image is fluid and fully adjustable to the amount of height you want. Waiting for it to be on sale again so i can buy another one for my set up 10/10

Amazing monitor. The quality is amazing it runs smoothly. I love the curve to the screen and how wide it is. I'd highly recommend this monitor for the price it's a good deal.

Gorgeous picture and I love that it can be moved up and down and is tiltable. Well-priced.

The picker is great, and doesn’t lag, 27inch was perfect and Kaylee gave me a 5 star experience.
