Review: Reliable and Smooth After 5 Years of Use - The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ has been my go-to monitor for five years, and it’s still performing well. The 1440p resolution delivers sharp visuals, and the 155Hz refresh rate keeps gameplay smooth. ELMB Sync and G-SYNC compatibility help reduce motion blur and screen tearing, making fast-paced gaming feel fluid. The IPS panel offers great color accuracy and viewing angles, making it solid for both gaming and general use. HDR10 support is there, but it’s not the most impressive HDR implementation. Build quality is sturdy, and the stand provides good adjustability. The only noticeable downside over time is some minor IPS glow, but it hasn’t impacted performance. After years of use, this monitor is still a reliable choice for gaming and productivity. If you want a well-balanced 1440p gaming monitor with longevity, this one holds up well.
Review: Excellent Value For Money - This monitor has a decent picture, refresh rate and Gsync making it a great gaming monitor. I have a 3090 graphics card I care more about a consistent frames per second than having a stupidly high resolution. QHD is a great compromise for me in that there’s a much higher pixel density than HD but I can still run modern games on maxed out settings - this will depend on your graphics card though. There’s some useful additional features such as ‘training mode’ where you can get the monitor to display a target on the centre of the screen. This is useful for some shooters when the game doesn’t display a target and you have to use gun sights eg allowing you to accurately headshot when firing from the hip. Overall I think this a great monitor for the money

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this monitor have an optical passthrough?**
A: Yes

**Q: I the monitor vesa compatible (a monitor arm)**
A: Yes

**Q: Resolution is blurry on new vg249q monitor at native 1080p. can i fix this or is it just a faulty panel i need to return?**
A: Maybe the monitor itself is like this because my 24. 5" 1080p monitor is also a bit blurry compared with my another24" 1080p monitor. I have tried all the setting options on the monitor but it's still a bit blurry. My advice is that if you think it is too blurry then you can return it. If it's okay for you, you can contact customer service and tell them the situation.(I think it's okay for me and I didn't return but I don't know how blurry your monitor is)

**Q: Does this monitor mostly work out of the box or do any settings need tweaking?**
A: For me it was great out of the box. Think I reduced the brightness slightly but the colours were spot on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing monitor
*by M***N on 3 March 2022*

I found this on offer for £299 instead of £450 so snapped it up. A lot of people reviewing this and giving it 1 star for having no UK plug simply havent looked inside the box properly. I too didnt see the plug so contacted amazon who then sent me a link for a plug and reimbursed me the amount for that plug. It was only when this plug had arrived that i properly opened the box and found the originally supplied UK plug... Couldnt fault amazons customer service at all! As for the monitor, mine has no dead pixels and a beautiful colour profile straight out of the box. Enabled the OC function to get 165hz and also setup up Nvidia Gsync along with ELMB and in games like rocket league where i get 120fps and call of duty at 100fps, the gameplay is so smooth compared to my previous 60hz monitor. Turning the graphics settings down to reach 165fps solid, its an amazing gaming experience from a flawless screen! For £300, its a superb price and begs the question, if this is sooo good, then what would a £1000+ samsung odyssey G9 be like!?!?
