Questions & Answers

It seems this is faster than 1 ms, is that correct?

This monitor offers only 5ms of response time, meaning it is only second to the Ben Q Zowie (240hz, 1ms). However, if you want to take advantage of the 280 Hz panel, it is the monitor to choose.

The VG279Q model is similar to this, but without a rotary key. ?

The screen size is only representative. Nevertheless, reviews indicate that this one has a much better picture due to its higher

Selected User Reviews For ASUS VG278QR 27” Gaming Monitor, 1080P Full HD, 165Hz (Supports 144Hz), G-SYNC Compatible, 0.5ms, Extreme Low Motion Blur, Eye Care, DisplayPort HDMI DVI

This is a 165Hz monitor that is compatible with sync
5/5

It is a good value. A TV this big would look really bad in 1080p at this close range and at this resolution. This is a well-built desk, with a sturdy base and an adjustable height. Whenever you order a television or monitor, make sure the pixels are working properly and use the Amazon Prime A-rated rating to check for dead pixels In general, most companies no longer replace monitors with a single or two dead pixels since they have policies that do not allow them to do so. does have its own guarantee though, so if you can, go through them first. The only minor downside to this monitor is that it came with poor picture settings out of the box. There is a big difference in the way I had to adjust the settings than I had with any other one I've had before, but again, it is a very minor downside. Once you dial it in, you will never have to adjust began by selecting the first preset setting that looked similar to the way my old monitor had been set up, and then worked my way up The adjustment process can take a day or two as your eyes and the surroundings adjust to the new lens. Is it not those useless tactile sensors that shut off the monitor when you touch them accidentally? Because it has actual buttons, not those annoying tactile sensors. It's not quite as good as an IPS screen, but it's still very good, thanks to the higher refresh rate that makes up for the barely noticeable loss of colors. If you take your time with your settings, you will never notice the loss of colors. There is an enormous difference in viewing angles compared to my previous Acer IPS monitors (which were both $90 and $120 for 22in and 24in monitors) and even from an extremely oblique angle, my wife can see what is on my screen without any difficulty. My family and I are very happy with this purchase, provided that the monitor doesn't break. As long as my equipment is kept safe with quality surge protectors, properly maintained and cleaned, etc. , it is still functional. I still have monitors and computers from the early 90's It only dies on me if it has a problem with the hardware such as a bad solder coming loose on its own or if it is old. As the fan bearings continue to deteriorate, it places a lot of stress on the hard drives, which are time bombs. Hopefully I'll be able to take proper care of this monitor for an extended period of time and update the review in the future if there are any problems or if it still works.

It has the worst picture quality I've ever seen on a monitor
3/5

There are over fifteen different video reviews of this monitor on Youtube and Amazon, and many people say that it is one of the best gaming monitors on the market, so I am quite amazed at how That is probably the worst picture quality I've ever seen in a modern computer It's just a pity that out of the box colors are so terrible, and the text is so The Asus monitor I got in 2014 for photo editing is better than this, from the box on. I have an old 100% SRGB Asus monitor that I bought back in 2014 for photo editing, and it blows it out of the water. This monitor was purchased because I thought the high refresh rate would be suitable for gaming, but the colors are so bad that I just couldn't stand to see a few minutes of gameplay. The picture quality is so poor, I don't want to bother messing with it and I don't think it can be improved at all to even come close to my 120$ six year old monitor that looks so good. I understand that some monitors need to be adjusted out of the box. As soon as I get home, I will box it up and send How awful this monitor was is truly amazing to me. Until something better comes along, I will do what I am currently doing.

I am 6 months old
4/5

Are you lucky? As of this month, this monitor has been in my possession for 6 months. As soon as I ordered the monitor I was stoked, but the day before it arrived the day before the monitor was delivered I ventured into the comment section and found SO MANY terrible As I wrote this review, my heart sank, I felt like I was about to get a trash product. In spite of this, I'm apprehensive to publish it while I may tip my luck to my detriment. The following are the options It has absolutely zero defects, no pink dots on the screen, no smudges on the physical screen and is set at 144hz. I have adjusted the screen to my liking, and it has no smudges or green dots. There are no defects to speak of. It is not a bad thing at all! There is no lag, and its a bargain for a cheaper price.

The only thing I found is that the picture quality is a little bit fuzzy, but I don't mind it because i'm a perfectionist and OCD. In most cases, you only notice it when loading a still picture or a screen. As far as I notice it in game, it doesn't bother me It does a really good job of maintaining a clean picture, plus it looks amazing with a high refresh rate. As for the monitor, I have had it for 6 months, and it's been good, except that the height adjuster on the monitor stand has started to slide down (I like to keep it fully extended because I'm tall), so I'm not too worried about it. Overall, I have not had problems with it (knock on wood). In fact, I think it's been an outstanding product for the price.

The review was not well done, I do not know how
3/5

There is no doubt that this is one of the worst image display panels I have ever seen. What I do to the settings doesn't seem to make any difference since the top is always dim and color-shifted. It is particularly difficult to view a TN panel with the viewing angles as bad as they are. Colors shift so rapidly that you cannot even locate the distance where they shift. A dim yellow is present even when the monitor is dead on top, and a pure white in its location. (

) The response time is outstanding, and gysnc is unparalleled. There is no way I can imagine anyone being content with what they see.
