    Love it for console gaming
    Ok,1- one, the box looks like it had been previously gotten into. Just to explain a little bit, I was watching a YouTube video to help me set it up correctly and theirs had a lot more packaging and protection around at the computer. I’m not complaining. It was still perfect condition. A couple of fingerprints and stuff like that.2-I’m terribly new to using monitors for gaming, I’ve had a console forever and I always used TVs so I had to manually switch a lot of of my console games to performance mode in order to get the 120+ FPS so I was a little bit of a hassle and had me worried at first that I got the wrong one or something.Absolutely zero complaints yet, it’s gonna take some getting used to for the smaller screen (27 inch) because like I said I’m used to using TVs which are pretty big but the quality is amazing and the 120 FPS on Apex legends is almost life-changing.

    Really good monitor for the price.
    Great bang for your buck. At the time this was the best priced 1440p 32inch on the internet. Crazy to think I spent 400$ on a Dell 1440p years ago.Love the colors. Plenty of good presets. I found one that is a great balance of vibrance and realistic. I didn’t even feel the need to tweak nvidia control panel color settings.Only con was the settings were a bit tricky to get into. Some of the settings are “locked” unless you turn off a few others features. A quick Google search pointed me in the right direction. At least the settings buttons are nice and large, rather than the usual tiny nubs.As a bonus tip: if this is your first time getting an HDR10 monitor like it was for me, windows 10 built in “HDR10” feature is terrible. You’ll want to turn on HDR10 on a game by game basis, rather than leave it on all the time.

    Awesome PC Display!
    Beautiful display!!!So many built-in function options in the GamePlus menu such as FPS Counter, Crosshair, and even a Display Alignment setting to adjust corner to corner offset in case it seems off a bit but upon playing around with it it is already set nicely by default.The 1440p resolution is so crisp, also has very vibrant colors, and the true blacks in-game is really good! The default brightness was a bit high but I changed that withing the Windows 11 display settings. Very impressive performance coming from the 180Hz refresh rate blew me away! The 27″ screen was perfect for my small corner desk setup.Set up was a breeze with the DP cable that was included in the box and simple to attach the stand. I really like the futuristic and rugged look of the line of TUF Gaming products and matches well with the other PC parts I combined such as the Motherboard, GPU, Mouse, Keyboard, Mouse pad, and cooling fans on my system.I highly recommend this item if you are looking for a smaller size but powerful and price worthy display. Thank you, ASUS!!!

    Excelente Monitor y a buen precio
    Estoy muy contento con el monitor ya que cumple con lo que necesitaba que es una buena pantalla para trabajar en windows y jugar con mi ps4 de vez en cuando y a un buen precio.El audio suena más bajo de lo que esperaba, pero si tienes unos buenos parlantes lo puedes solucionar si eres exigente con el sonido.

    Great affordable 1440p HDR10 IPS monitor.
    I’ll be blunt with my criticism. ELMB (Extreme Low Motion Blur) wont work at the same time as HDR and forces your screen to get dimmer. Do not consider this a valid feature to base your decision on.However, it’s an IPS screen with 1ms response. It already has excellent performance regarding blur and ghosting. It’s my first HDR10 monitor and it absolutely delivers in this department. Dark areas of games still feel dark but I can see detail. My first test with it was The Last of Us Remastered on PC. Felt like a vast improvement over standard color space and contrast I had on my last monitor.I’ve detected no latency issues in online games either. I was able to get it on sale for $180 but it still feels like a great deal at $220.Like most people, I feel 27″ is perfect size for a display sitting two feet from my face. Setup was very simple. The mount is a no-brainer and frees up a lot of desk space compared with the lazy susan base on my previous Dell. It has hidden VESA mounts if you need them. Enabling HDR in the monitor settings locks you out of most other settings (you wont miss them) so I’d say setup is very easy. It plays well with reference color mode in Nvidia Control Panel, further minimizing setup.

    Me encanta demasiado
    Hay que tener en cuenta que vengo de un monitor de full HD de 60Hz, pero igual creo que la reseña es válida. O sea, wow, que cambio los colores se ven súper bien. Es importante el cambio en la fluidez con los 170Hz. De hecho he llegado a alcanzar más hasta 190Fps, no sé si es normal, pero bueno. En fin, un muy buen monitor, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta el precio

    Fantastic, Affordable, and Easy setup!
    If you’re looking for a decent budget monitor, this is a great installment for anyone that is not trying to break the bank, but wants something for multi-tasking and gaming. I was over thinking my options with the massive array of options on the market. Don’t complicate it if your someone who is looking for something that will do the job. I was a little anxious with the dead pixel lottery I’ve seen so many times, but out of the box this thing was perfect and looks fantastic. Do yourself a favor and pull the trigger.

    PRIMER MONITOR 1440p
    Es el primer monitor 2k que adquiero, la verdad y a opinión propia no siento esa gran diferencia grafica a comparación con el 1080p (tal vez sea por la costumbre o no soy aplicado al tema), lo compre por eso mismo, para salir de la duda.Lo que si puedo notar son los colores mas vibrantes (si lo configuras bien) y obviamente el espacio visual mas amplio a comparación con 24pulgadas.El monitor que me llego, al observar detalladamente su pantalla, me fije que tiene 2 pixeles muertos (uno en la esquina superior izquierda y el otro en el centro inferior derecha), y eso porque los encontré, pueden haber mas (no lo se). Esta novedad no lo considero tan relevante pero si cuestionable en que podría pasar con la pantalla a futuro. En general el monitor esta bien, realmente me pregunto cuanto me durará antes de ocurrirle algo a la pantalla. Espero dure mucho.

    I got this monitor as an upgrade to my Asus Swift PG279 so I was expecting and hoping it would be better but it really has exceeded my expectations. Not only is the monitor much brighter, with much more vibrant and rich colours but its actually much easier on my eyes than the Swift was despite it being more vivid.The first unit I bought had a defect(dark hues around the edges) but I returned it through Amazon and easily got a replacement. Not sure why more people don’t just use Amazon’s return policy when they have a problem with a monitor(pixel’s out etc) instead of going through the manufacturer which may or may not replace the unit, depending on how extensive the defect is. Amazon’s return function is surely much faster and easier than dealing with the manufacturer and they accept returns for virtually any reason at all, even if its not defective. Just return the unit and buy another one. Its really quite simple.Needless to say, my replacement unit is perfect. Oh and G-sync is literally identical in terms of performance between this model and my old Swift, despite this model not having the actual module like the Swift model has. Given the price reduction and the fact that you clearly don’t actually need the module now, I’m glad they aren’t including them any more.BLB/IPS glow is minimal on my replacement unit.EDIT: I notice that the monitor I purchased is no longer on this page. My review is for the”ASUS TUF Gaming 27″ 2K HDR Monitor (VG27AQ1A) – WQHD (2560 x 1440), IPS, 170Hz (Supports 144Hz), 1ms, Extreme Low Motion Blur, Speaker, G-SYNC Compatible, VESA Mountable, DisplayPort, HDMI”NOT the 1080p version or the other option on this specific page.

    Upgrading from 60hz monitor to this was a huge difference. I like the screen the colors the build quality the equipments everything is so good.I received the package with little tears but overall it was great.I had one issue when overclocking to 170hz the monitor will start flickering every couple of minutes only while connecting 2 monitors. After a couple of research and adjustments I changed the second monitor DP cable to a thicker and stronger DP cable and it was fixed.The brightness on the monitor is more then any gamer needs especially if you play in a dark room it’s perfect.Overall it’s a great monitor and if you can buy it during sales it’s a perfect deal.
