Fast and Affordable
Hi. I’ve been building gaming PCs for almost 20 years. I’m an old, salty, experienced tech, and I’d like to tell you about the ASUS VG278Q. This is a great display for any GAMER looking for a large, fast, 1080p, 144hz display. As you can see from my review photos, I also own the ASUS VG245H, so my review can apply to both displays. I purchased the VG245H to be my PS4 Pro/PC display. It has worked great for both the PS4 Pro and my PC for almost a year now, without issue.After building a new gaming PC for myself, I decided to go with the VG245H’s bigger brother. The difference between the two is the size of screen and most importantly, the refresh rate. The VG245H is a 24″ display and features a 75hz refresh rate, while the VG278Q is a 27″ display featuring a 144hz refresh rate. Both of these displays have a TN panel. If you are just a casual gamer and you like to do a lot of photo and video editing on the side, you might want to look at an IPS or VA panel. These TN panels don’t have the greatest color or contrast, but they feature some of the fastest G2G response times available. So, if you’re a gamer with a competitive nature, these are monitors that you should strongly consider. Try not to pay much too much attention to the reviews claiming that these displays are great for gaming but terrible for everything else. These displays can be tuned and calibrated for a great “all-around” computing experience; via the monitor’s OSD, and your GPU’s control panel. While they will never be as vivid as an IPS or VA panel, they can still be good for day to day computing. So take a little time to dial them in before giving in to the idea that these display are “washed out” with “poor color reproduction”.Pro tip: Make sure that the RGB range is set to FULL and not LIMITED in your GPU’s control panel.Both displays come with the same sturdy, ergonomic stand.Who should buy these? Anyone looking for a fast, reliable, and affordable display. Serious gamers who value speed over contrast and color accuracy. Who shouldn’t buy these? Anyone looking for rich, saturated colors and life-like reproduction of movies and photos. So it all boils down to what is most important to you. If fast and furious is what you are going for, this is the monitor for you. If eye candy and features are more important, then you should look elsewhere…and be prepared to spend more.

Exceptional Quality Gaming Monitors
I purchased two of these gaming monitors because I wanted to upgrade from a 21″ monitor to a 27″. I didn’t expect to notice a difference in picture since the monitor I was replacing was a high end gaming monitor as well, but the difference was remarkable. Suddenly, games that looked plain now looked amazing. For the price of these monitors, they are well worth it! They also have many built-in features such as the centered dot for FPS games.

Only downside for me is that the brightness will automatically adjust itself.
 I love this Monitor! All I Play is DayZ Standalone and Rotmg and I went from playing on a 50 inch 720p TV to This Peice of Hardware! After looking into TONS of Monitors i accidentally stumbled on this one!The ASUS Tuf Gaming Monitor, The name itself packed its own punch and had me wanting to learn more. AMD Freesync, dynamic Game Visual modes so you can find the right screen setting for any game, 1ms response time, 165hz for a maximum of 165FPS.I Ordered it and awaited it’s arrival.About 3 days later it arrivedIt took about 10-15 minutes to unbox and put together, the stand connected to it is Very sturdy and well made, its what I hold onto when moving the monitor around. The screw that holds the Foot of the stand into place can loosen up on its own and you might need to re tighten it after moving it a few times, no issue for me. Looks good, time to test it out.WOW, okay I’ve been writing this review since I started using this thing and it’s been a little over a month I think.It blew all my expectations out of the water,The first Game I booted up on this monotor was DayZ Standalone on the Ps4 and PC (I wanted to see both of them through the monitor) immediately I saw a MASSIVE difference in quality of pretty much everything about the game, it was alot more smooth, clear, HD, Bright. I could literally see characters sitting in bushes from MILES Away!Spotting people and items became way easier, I almost feel like it made me better at PVP but maybe it’s just the added confidence.I LOVE THIS MONITOR. i suggest picking one up before they realize they should Price these things up!!!Only true downside is that the monitor will adjust its own brightness depending on how bright or dark whatever is displayed on screen. It’s barely noticeable unless your switching tabs around.

solid buy
I was a bit hesitant to buy this monitor but after spending way too much on my build i decided not to go too crazy on the monitor. I love it. Occasionally I have a pixel turn green but with a light press of my finger for a quick second it goes away. Ive had this for about a year now and I think that’s happened maybe three times total so nothing crazy. all in all i would def buy this again. I’m sure i could have gone through the hassle of getting a new one when i first noticed that but I was too impatient to start playing on my PC. Picture quality is great and handles everything i run well.

Está muy bien, lo uso como segundo monitor ya que manejo un 2k entonces este de 1080 se nota la diferencia pero se ve bien, si lo recomiendo y por el precio está bien, los controles del monitor ayudan mucho para mejorar todo, para que se vea mejor

Llegó hoy el monitor, gran calidad, a los que le dudan no se van a arrepentir, llegó en perfectas condiciones, protegido, con prácticamente nada de fuga de luz ni pixeles muertos y eso que llegó desde Estados Unidos.Buenos colores y buenas funciones, lo contecte a series S y se ve muy bien (si va a 120hrz).

Devloped dead pixels which are red and do not change color. Seller did not try to respond to my question. Not happy as this was expensive!
