  • Getting excited about gaming monitors isn't easy these days. But the TUF VG27AQ has a unique feature that might make it the best budget gaming monitor so far. Its called ELMB-SYNC and it allows you to enable G-SYNC or FreeSync alongside motion blur reduction (ULMB and ELMB). This really is a game changer so let's check out this feature and how it works with G-SYNC.

      Good to hear. I wouldn't regret anything. I've been geeking out on this Asus TUF VG27AQ and I have to say the the feature in discussion is not a huge deal. I've already noticed ELMB w/gsync affecting different moving objects differently. So, it slightly solves one optical illusion, while possibly making other random optical illusions.

    I remember reading about this monitor when it was first announced, and instantly, I wanted it. So, fast forward a few months, and I find myself at microcenter, buying all the parts needed for my first build. I get to the monitor, and the guys are showing me all of my options, and I wanted g-sync at 1440p, but the options were a bit expensive. Then, the salesman mentioned a new monitor that they had just got in, and that it was really good. Low and behold, it was this guy. Instantly, I said grab it, let's go. I absolutely LOVE this monitor. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy a new monitor.

    Instead of a higher frame rate you could have just bumped the shutter speed accordingly, which is double the shutter speed of a frame rate that you aim for. Should give you correct results. Less light, but it should still be enough, especially for a screen.

    I have this, the only negatives I can say about it is, a fair bit of backlight bleed in the bottom corners. If you're not in a dark room though this isn't so noticeable.
    Also the fact it comes locked to 59hz out of the box, I tried running some games on the new PC (i7 9700 & RTX2070 Super) and was freaking out that it was jerky, freezing for seconds at a time when i was sure gsync was on and I thought I'd wasted my money buying the new PC and monitor. Took me about an hour to work out wtf was going on, after i turned the monitor to 144hz it was all good and forgiven.
    Great monitor otherwise.

    ELMB sounds like a dream to me: there's a few games where I love capping my framerate at 140 on my 144hz monitor and enable Freesync (I love consistent frame delivery and frametimes and despite my games running at around 180 average, the competitive ones, I choose freesync without extra input lag over unlimited fps and less consistent image during fast turns) but I lose out on my motion blur reduction option, which is pretty decent on my panel. However... from what I've read ELMB still is very prone to flickering in brightness and things like that, whereas my own normal MBR is completely consistent so the flickering isn't visible without a slowmo camera. However... my panel has the issue where MBR is very, very bright instead of more dim than the standard setting. It's Samsung's version which works slightly differently, but to the same visual effect as normal ELMB/ULMB/Lightboost.

    About the micro stutter: just turn to full screen mode instead of borderless window, you can eliminate the micro stuttering. Because in borderless window mode, the GPU has to copy frame buffer to another frame buffer that's bound to the game's window before showing it. That copying could be delayed there's other stuff utilizing GPU at the same time. Just turn to full screen mode, the copying is not needed, thus eliminating the micro stuttering.

    I have been using the 32 inch model VG32VQ for a few weeks now:
    Yes, details look a bit charper when ELMB sync & gsync is enabled but:
    I sometimes notice the backlight strobing, not very often but every once in a while there's some heavy flickering going on when ELMB is enabled, this only happens for a few seconds, most oft the time only a few frames, but it happens. Second, the panel will get significantly darker, if I had to guess 100% ELMB sync brightness is about 50 percent of the actual display brightnes capabilities. HDR in games and movies is trash, dont't touch that.
    Overall I am very happy with the monitor, the 32 inch model comes with a VA panel which makes watching 4k movies on the 1440p screen a great experience even when sitting closer to it, the curve really helps. I still don't know what to think about ELMB sync and if this feature is worth the 500USD pricetag, especially when there are other alternatives like from LG which also can run gsync at that framerate, lack the ELMB sync option but have a significantly lower price.
    Is it a great monitor? Yes. Is ELMB sync worth it? That depends on you, but I can say that GSYNC has way more impact in terms of my gaming experience in comparison to ELMB sync. I have it turned on most of the time, sometimes when I do notice flickering I turn it off. A weird thing I have noticed that if you switch between ELMB/Gsync on/off sometimes my colours get messed up and I have to urn the monitor off and on to get my blues back...

I honestly want a really sharp and dark image in general, I hate HDR anything since it's too bright for my eyes :( let me know what you think because I'm considering getting this or paying double for an LG panel with better pixel response rate to compensate for lack of black image insertion

    I've had this monitor now for a few days and I love it. I do not love the ELMB sync. I seem to be sensitive to the dimming/flickering it causes. It's very minor but I can't handle it. I turn it off and G-sync off and turn tracefree on and up to 60 when I'm doing high refresh rate gaming. If I'm playing RDR2, I like to turn g-sync back on. I would never use ELMB sync I don't think. I recommend 2 to 3 presets saved on this monitor for optimal settings in different types of games. 2070super + 3800x in my gaming PC. In conclusion, I would buy this monitor again. There isn't anything really better at this price in my area. I payed 579.99 CDN which is not a great deal but I wanted a new monitor right away and they had it in stock.

    ULMB and ELMB are meaningful *only* when your eyes move or you record monitor with *a moving camera*. If camera is static (e.g. attached on tripod) or you stare at the crosshair without moving your eyes, ULMB and ELMB only introduce flicker without any benefit.
    For example, sniping in CS GO and tracking the target with mouse, as long as the target stays under the crosshair, there's no benefit for using ULMB or ELMB because you constantly look at the center. However, in close combat situations where the target is moving across the screen faster than you are able to track with mouse, then the difference gets more important. Similarly, in driving simulators, the difference is most important if you look at different locations on display surface while the screen animates. It's those cases where black frame insertion actually reduces the visible blur.
