Do you even need a better gaming monitor? - Asus TUF VG279QM Review

Asus VG series of monitors is known for offering a good price/performance ratio, but the VG279QM model goes a step further, bringing some valuable innovations we see for the first time on a gaming monitor, on top of 280Hz refresh rate and G-Sync and Freesync support.
Check out the details in our in depth review.

The only bad thing about this monitor for me is that I can clearly see the resolution pixels, maybe someone has a solution?

[@ThatMekanic]

It’s 1080p???

[@everysubjectguy]

@@ThatMekanic yea

[@Toad1488]

For me the optimal distance to not see the pixel is about 60cm so maybe just try to up the distance

[@morchee9155]

Just got it to upgrade my old 165 hz, hope it can improve my game play more

Yo tengo este monitor y es una pasada genial. Lo tengo con ps5 y va a 120hz a 1080p perfecto, y después en mi ordenador a 280hz una pasada lo recomiendo.

Maybe a problem with your ps5(low storage )or maybe you have set your refresh rate at 60

[@maliknexus]

I have the same monitor even through I have Two Questions .
I hooked up Xbox series X and it says 4K UHD 60hz in settings not 120hz which I'm ok with.. games looks amazing in 4k 60hz. So this monitor is 1080p and 4k? Even thro my monitor says 3840×2160 HDR off ?
If I wanted to hook up a cheap tower to do productivity on it , web browsing etc it's ok with?

[@hunterg4560]

Nope, if your monitor is 1080 then that’s the best you’ll get, even if your PC/Xbox/Whatever can output more.. 1080 is great though for monitors up to 24” or so

[@akhaze447]

The overclock option in the monitor settings is locked, how can I unlock it so I can put 280hz ?

[@lionramabaja2122]

@AkHaze u need display cable to play 280hz

@@lionramabaja2122 i realised that 2 days ago I was happy when I realised it

So what is the display settings stock without the overclock bc in display setting it says 144 unless I overclock

@@thrax_843 if u have a displayport it should be 240 without overclocking

​@@thrax_843change your cable for a better display port cable. Most only support up to 144hz. Get a better one that supports more hz

Have owned the monitor for a year ... I'm tempted to buy a 170Hz 1440p Gigabyte M27Q, but I think I'd just waste money. 1080p is enough @ 27" for me.

[@sam17577]

omg! I’m torn between these two monitors rn actually.. thinking of just getting both lol

[@MrJimBF]

How you also tried the 25 inch version? I have the 27 inch version but I see a lot of online people who say it's way better to plan on a 25 inch because on 27 it gets blurry? I really don't believe that because I find it pretty sharp but did you tested it on 25 inch?

[@Tan3l6]

@@MrJimBF Have not tried 25" model.
Also now I'm using LG 27GP850 - i like this one even more - 1440p @ 180Hz and has 8bit-frc colors. Do recommend!

Hey guys maybe you could help me with these questions.
1. What is the response rate of this monitor?
2. If i only want to use it as 144hz will the response rate be slower?
Please help. Thanks
