Congratulations.. I also bought the same model, 4 days ago the monitor is super, very cool, the picture is clear, I really liked it, the build quality is perfect, I love Asus for that. I was looking for a very long time, the choice is good. when I tested the monitor I found on a pure white background a very small, one might say even imperceptible, one red dot, and on a black background there is also a very small whistling dot. you need to look very carefully, then it’s noticeable, I don’t know if this is a defect or not, but I’m not going to change the monitor for this, because there is no guarantee that the next one will not have these pixel bits. Yes, it shows high quality, it has a clear image, color rendition is the most important thing, and the frequency of 260 Hz is super
Hii are you satisfied with colors, input lag (especially at 60hz) and everything in this monitor? does it have bad ghosting/blur, or flicker issues at 60 fps/hz when vrr (gsync compatible mode) is on? is this a good monitor overall? are colors accurate and realistic after you turn on srgb mode in monitor's setting (not oversaturated or undersaturated), i do web design, gaming, watch movies and some editing (premiere pro/photoshop) with it, so srgb color accuracy is important to me also some chinese reviews mentioned bad gamma curve in this monitor for some units (1.800 avg gamma which is bad compared to 2.2 standard), is that true? they mentioned it causes the monitor to look too dark in some scenes i would really appreciate it if you could answer my questions, i can't return the monitor if i buy it in my country
I bought vg27aql1a hdr400 170hz...worth to buy too...better on hdr it make it u want take your eye from brightness n it make u game quality look better
i watched a chinese review and it mentioned bad gamma curve in this monitor (1.800 avg gamma. which is bad compared to 2.2 standard), is that true or it was only for hdr gamma?
thinking about buying that to go with my PG279Q and let the oled/qdoled grow old a little bit not interested in the issues with oled yet so I may let a generations or 2 pass before buying that like flickering for example couldn't live with that I think 1440p (2k) IPS high refresh rates gaming monitor is the sweetspot right now with a highend 4080/4090 and graphics @ ultra with everything turning on can't go wrong with gsync and everything etc 4k not worth it yet in my view but its coming
Good job man, appreciate the review! You mention in the beggining that Alienware is still a better monitor but in the video description you say you prefer this one. Could you extrapolate which aspects are better/worse if you have some time? Thanks either way!
Alienware aw2723df has 95% DCI-P3 color coverage, so the colours are much better everything looks nicer however that monitor had dead pixel within 6 months twice for me. Asus one has lasted longer
@@Myst_iii Thanks for the reply! I had the same issue with AOC ag274qs 1 dead pixel, have been waiting for a refund for over a month... Now I'm considering this monitor as it's a close replacement and tick many of the boxes. I'm very interested in it's ELMB Sync implementation because I am planning on using it with VRR (Freesync). If you have some free time maybe you could test it for a few minutes - whether monitor flickers and if there is a lot of artifacts while maintaining 240-260 hz refresh rate. I've seen you play Apex which is my main game. I'd suggest you to try ELMB Sync and fix your refresh rate with RTSS (so your GPU would not reach 99% this way you get way better input lag of the system if you want I can extrapolate more on that). If you don't like ELMB Sync only due to the fact it reduces brightness you can increase vibrancy, brightness and contrast in your nvidia panel which helps a lot. Have a good day Sir!
@@laimavalauskiene2790 ELMB implementation is pretty bad. Lots of crosstalk. Actually the entire monitor is pretty bad. I don't know why people praise it like this. My unit has a BOE me270qhm-nf1 panel and the motion quality is really lousy. Response times are mediocre. Colors are oversaturated, the entire panel is green-shifted and has an overly-aggressive matte coating that makes it look grainy. You'd generally be much better off getting a lower-refresh monitor with better motion quality and latency/response times, unless you don't care about those sort of things. If you didn't though, not sure why you'd bother getting a 240hz panel. Honestly, the 1440p 240hz IPS options are just pathetic these days. Even the 27GR83Q is using me270qhm-nf6, which is a variation of the panel in the VG27AQM1LA. It might be tuned a little better (has 95% DCI-P3) and better factory color tuning, but it's still a variation of the same panel and probably has bad motion quality too. All the decent QHD 240hz IPS panels right now seem to cost $500+ for no apparent reason, and at those prices I'm not sure why you wouldn't just go for OLED anyway.
@@Satvrninewhat are you talking about this monitor is awesome picture and especially the latency is really amazing he even said that practically no latency in the video and the monitor basically has no ghosting

Thank you for review this model so new that's why we couldn't see any review. I want to ask this model or Samsung Odyssey G7 28" (S28BG70) both of them same prices but whichone better I can't decided. This is will be my first monitor please help me
is there a way to sharpen the image? I've recently switched from a msi 1080p 144hz monitor for this monitor and this monitor is immaculate, but my old msi monitor has a feature to sharpen the image or I just may have to get use to it, I know I can use nvidia filters but I mainly just play fortnite which doesn't use nvidia filters, if anyone can reach out, thanks! 👍
Do you think it would work at all to upgrade to this if I'm still sporting a 1080ti? Or should I opt to save up for a new GPU first?🤔 Atm I have a few years old 24" 144hz FHD(1080p) Aoc TN monitor, its decent and I can game and stream with over 300fps in Overwatch 2 for example (atm capped to 360 as any lower causes screen tearing, idk why that happens😅), but the panel quality is kinda shit and I'd love a higher refreshrate and upgrade to 1440p gaming. Setup: R7 5800x3d Asus X570 mobo Corsair 32gb ram Asus gtx 1080ti 850w gold psu 2x m.2 (500gb + 1tb)
upgrade gpu first, your fps will suffer if you go 1440p with 1080ti. 1080ti is good for 1080p but nothing more, unless you plan on playing games like valorant/easy to run games
only downside to the monitor is the cable management on the stand i things its rather pointless. but easy fix if you use a monitor arm, overall great monitor happy with it worth the price. however if you prefer curved and darker blacks id get the g7 which on amazon last i checked is in same price range
@@Myst_iii Don't bother with the Samsung G7. It's trash, quality control over at Samsung is just awful. I got mine brand new out of the box and right in the middle a white dead pixel. It was far too noticeable. Other's have said the backlight bleed is just awful and some are experiencing dead pixels after 3 months of use as well. Not worth buying a product and things can do wrong with it after the return window has expired.
I have an Asus vg 248qe (the classic 1080p 144hz monitor) looking for an upgrade. Think this would be fine ? I want no blur no ghosting none of that silly shit etc
Great video! What do you think Should I buy the benq mobiuz ex2710q 27 at 165hz or this monitor? And will it be a big difference between 165hz and 260hz?
@@GunslingerBrothers i dont mind the price, i'm looking for curved ones that are white and aren't too big but i haven't found anything like that yet sadly
@@Myst_iiihey so when I use gsync with 260hz the monitor fps counter will say it’s hitting 260 but the mw3 in game fps counter is locked at 240 did you have any issues like that?
Will it be a problem to set the monitor to 260hz forever? I mean, I don't know if that will damage the screen or something like that. Thanks for the review btw
hello friend i buy a monitor asus vg27aqm1a but when i open monitor settings not all setings is open for me gaming setings game Visual is close for me and Image settings just open hdr settings and nothing more why ??
forget about the hz difference, which one would you get between MSI G274QPF-QD and this one? does the msi model have better color accuracy or anything better?
msi monitor has better colours, this asus tuf monitor only has 99%srgb, however the contrast and response times are better for the asus monitor, the msi monitor is better for productivity and colour accuracy, the asus monitor is better for gaming. msi G274QPF-QD is made as a budget version of a more expensive monitor if i rememmber correctly. overall its a nice monitor though. i like the build quality on both.
@@Myst_iii on asus website, in the title it says 100% srgb and in specs it says 90% dci p3, if it's really 100% srgb (or even 99%) then i really don't need to get the msi model i only need 100% srgb as it's the standard they are selling both monitors at same price in my country which is crazy i want a good ips 27 inch 1440p monitor, that has good standard color accuracy (100% srgb) with good response time, good contrast and black control with no vrr (gsync compatible) flickering and ghosting issues. 144-180hz is enough for me and i mainly play aaa games and lock the fps to 70-80 usually and let vrr to lower the hz dynamicaly none of these options are available in my country: MSI Optix MAG274QRFQD Dell G2724D Dell Alienware AW2724DM Asus TUF VG27AQL3A ROG Strix XG27ACS Gigabyte M27Q X MSI G274QPF-QD E2 ASRock PG27QFT2A so i decided to either get the msi qpf model or this asus aqml1a monitor i'm really confused right now, i wish those monitors that i mentioned were available here
Bro I bought msi mag274qrf-qd e2 last week and it came with 7 stuck pixels. I wanted a replacement and new monitors also came with 2-3 stuck pixels and I am gonna refund it and will buy this monitor in the vidoe, so I would say don't risk your money on msi monitors.
@@GunslingerBrothers i'm going with either this vg27aqml1a monitor or rog xg27acs. also you can find more reviews about this vg27aqml1a monitor on bilibili website (chinese youtube). this is what i found so far: they mentioned 1200:1-1500:1 contrast ratio (which is amazing comparing to ips monitors) and 500-550 nits for hdr (way above hdr400). also good response times, they said 8.7ms for 60hz and 4ms for 120hz (and 3.5 for higher hz). you can also achieve 10 bit color if you set the refresh rate to 144 (as myst said in this video). the color accuracy of srgb space coverage was 99.6% and 139% srgb of gamut volume. dci p3 was also not bad tbh, some reviews measured 89% and some 92%. color accuracy can be improved after installing the driver and icm profile on asus website, but feel free to adjust the settings in nvidia control panel. also 1 review measured bad gamma curve (1.850) and one measured good 2.2 gamma curve, if your unit had bad gamma curve you can improve it by increasing gamma in nvidia(or intel/amd) control panel. i think this is one of the best ips monitors. the 180hz model (vg27aql3a) had better color accuracy but 850:1 contrast ratio only. same about the rog model (xg27acs). in the manual of vg27aqml1a asus says you can't change brightness in srgb mode but i asked 8 guys who had this monitor on reddit and they all said it's adjustable even when srgb picture mode is on
I have a Dell 1440 165hz 27 va curved. Just received this exact monitor. Having them side by side before and after tuning the Asus has much more visual noise. It looks so grainy and when things are at a distance in game you can just see lines moving outlining at all. I feel like I've tried every setting, any suggestions?
@@Myst_iii yes I am using the one in the box. Game and windows are 1440 260. Hdr off ( made it look worse) GPU is set too. I'm not sure if it's a setting or feature I'm not clicking, or ifs a bad monitor or if I'm just being too picking not understanding the differents between va and IPS. Like I said things look much grainier at a distance in motion.
I have rtx 3060ti can i play 2k in 240+ hz ...is it a good option to buy this monitor or dell aw2723df ; is it a big difference between these monitors; btw i play valorant fps games
I recommend 4070 ti Super for Nice 2k gaming the rtx 4070ti Super is the best available Nvidia graphics card for 2k with great performance and you will reach more than 100 fps in high settings in most games and if you enable dlss you might even get twice as much with frame gen and all, but considering you only play valorant and other fps games, an rtx 3060ti should hit 240+ easily(in valorant), if you're just gonna play fps games then its a good choice, and if your gonna play other games as well on the rtx 3060ti then i recommend a lower option like VG27AQL1A, but if you took my advice and got a rtx 4070ti super then get this monitor and pair it with a intel core i5-14600k(you will see no bottleneck) or a similar performance AMD CPU
Hello hello, quick question if you don't mind. I'm gonna build my first gaming pc ever with a 7800X3D and a RX 7900 XTX and I'm currently looking at monitors to buy. I was looking for a 1440p 240hz monitor since my PC will be very capable, and I found this exact monitor used for less than 2/3rds of the price from a known retailer here in Norway (exact same warranty as new). I come from console gaming, and I'm a console gamer by heart so I was wondering if you have any knowledge about if this monitor works 1440p 120hz on PS5? The PS5 definitely supports it generally but some monitors just don't work because of some auto-detection bullshit idk. Not a deal breaker for me as I'm buying the monitor for the PC but would be good to know. Thanks!
i dont personally have a ps5, but in the nvidia control panel there is a option for 1440p 120hz, but overall for the pc yes this is a good monitor for your specs. i have the same specs 7800x3d but with a 4070ti.
@@Myst_iii no worries man, thanks for the fast reply. As I mentioned, its just some Sony fuckup that some ps5 gamers will have to figure out on their own. Even though you buy a 144/165/170Hz etc. 1440p monitor, sometimes it wont work
Hello, coming from someone with a this monitor and the 7900xtx and a 7800x3d! This that card and cpu will grant very high fps on most games, and I would highly recommend getting this higher refresh rate to experience the full performance. You’ll 150+ in most games at ultra on 1440p
Hello! I can't decide whether I should go for this monitor or not. Or would you be able to reccomend something different? My specs are as such: RX 7800 XT OC TUF Intel Core i5-13600KF 3.50GHz 14 cores MSI PRO B760-P WIFI DDR4 Intel B760 socket 1700 DDR4 5333(OC)MHz ATX Gaming motherboard Kingston KC3000 SKC3000S/1024G 1TB 7000/6000MB/s PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD GSKILL 32GB (2x16GB) Ripjaws V Black 3200MHz CL16 DDR4 Dual Kit Ram
Both are good, pick the cheapest option, and vg27aqml1a only has 20 hz more, the ultra gear has better build quality. Other than that both practically the same
yes amaing, i have played mw3 and apex on it, buttery smooth no ghosting. rsponse time is great. it supprisingly doesnt get that hot either this is after gaming for 4+ hours a session
Hi i'm about to get this for $420 in my country. are you still happy with it? is it a great monitor in this price range? also you can swivel this monitor too right? cause i watcg movies and shows with it too beside gaming
@@Myst_iii thank you so much for answering. i think this is the best and most expensive 27 inch 1440p tuf monitor. colors are also very important for me since i also do designing and video editing.
@cythix7 not much better, alienware has higher Britness, colours are 10 bit at 280hz and a thinner bezel, so slightly nicer to look at but honestly minimal difference. Not worth an exchange since alienware has the same dead pixel line for the last 2 models on their monitor, the fact its not fixed in some models shows poor manufacturing quality. Id say the asus tuf monitor does perform the same, looks nice with very few negatives. If I had to pick between the 2 I'd pick the tuf simply because i know it will last longer, where as the alienware feels premium, but will die in 6 months. Alienware also gets really hot compared to the tuf
My settings limited, im currently playing on ps5 with the hdmi port, do i have to use the DP to unlock them ?. Also the support for the vrr it only shows free sync, u have like 3
My moniter is broken i am thinking of buying a new one and i really want this the problem is i have a rtx 2060 idont know if its good enough for the monitor
@Q_M_7 VG27AQM1A is dcp 90% coverage vg27aqml1a is 99% srgb coverage, just different colour technology. Imo you need 95% dcp to get better than 99%srgb. But really it's up to your preference. I had a dcp monitor before they are great
i got this monitor today and the brightness and every thing is great but i only get 144hz on mw3 and warzone but the game's fps indicator gets to 240-220 do u know hot to fix this issue im having ?
So i got this monitor, but how do i turn on HDR, it says that my screen is not supported in HD color windows settings, and i am sure it is the same monitor. i been trying to google the solution, and they all show how you turn on HDR in windows HD color, but i dont have that option in there. and i use windows 10 pro with a 3060TI, i5 13600k and z790 motherboard.
Hi sir. I have a question. Which one is better in display color im not lookig for refresh rate. Could you answer me vg27aql1a and this monitor. Vg27aql1a has 130% sRGB and this 100%. Have you use both monotors?
in my opinion unless its hdr 1000, anything lower isnt worth it. this monitor has hdr 400, its nice to use, but in gaming i tend to always have it off.
if you in the UK this monitor, if you can find the omen 27qs. lower than £430 go for it. however i have never used the 27qs. i had a bad experience with previous Hp/omen monitors so i tend to avoid tuf and 27qs are IPS. TUF has 20hz more though. also not sure if the 27qs has 10bit or 8bit colour overall i tend to stick with asus monitors they are the only ones that have lasted me past a year. before this i had a alienware 280hz monitor lasted 6 months before dead pixels. viewsonic do decent monitors too but they dont have a middle ground its either really budget or really overpriced. quality is great though
hey bro. I recently built a pc and have been considering upgrading to 240hz. I am currently using the xl2411k. I am torn between going for 1440p or sticking with 1080p. The options I am considering are the zowie xl2546k, vg259qm, this one vg27aqml1a and some alienware monitors but i cannot decide whether getting this over the zowie one or the vg259qm would be worth it or not. The vg259qm is 1080p 280hz. Any input you could give me regarding this or any other 240hz + monitor would be appreciated. The xl2546k and the vg27aqml1a cost the same where i live but the vg259qm actually costs quite less. Any input would be appreciated. I mainly play Counter Strike. But i also enjoy story games. Especially rdr2 love that game.
If you play Cs a lot go with whatever has highest refresh and lowest input lag that's within your price range, you can confirm you are looking at the right monitor there is a link i left under video description that goes to asus site, they have links that the monitor is being sold
@@Myst_iii thats the main issue i have because for the rest of them i can find reviews but for this one the only one i have found is yours. I do want to go with 1440p but anything that actually has good reviews goes out of my budget. Your review has convinced me in favor of this one but i just want to be sure before i spend money. thank you though love the video definitely gave me a good look at this monitor.
@@Myst_iii also i have seen 2 different models of this theres the aqm1a as well but i dont really understand whats the difference between the two. Is it just the stand?
@abeerahmed3953 aqm1a is 1080p this is 1440p. Honestly this monitor is great if you got the rig with hit 180+fps. At 1440p I still use it today. Obviously there are better but at a higher price
I used Elmb briefly with apex, dims the monitor too much so I have it turned off, I didn't notice any flickering. I don't play Cs. But had a few runs in val and didn't notice flickering
bro i just bought this monitor and its kinda hurting my eyes. i upgraded from a 1080 240hz tn panel. is it normal ? i turned brightness to 0 and i use srgb mode but still reading text kinda hurt my eyes and it feels sharp
Welcome to the future, 1440p is a lot sharper than 1080p, some people still use 1080p because if that. I have a asus tuf 1080p 280hz monitor I still use sometimes.
The most important setting and first one to set when you buy a new monitor is sharpness 100%.
Thank you sir been looking for reviews and keep finding older models👍
Thx for the review, I was looking for it!

I've recently switched from a msi 1080p 144hz monitor for this monitor and this monitor is immaculate, but my old msi monitor has a feature to sharpen the image or I just may have to get use to it, I know I can use nvidia filters but I mainly just play fortnite which doesn't use nvidia filters, if anyone can reach out, thanks! 👍
Do you think it would work at all to upgrade to this if I'm still sporting a 1080ti?
Or should I opt to save up for a new GPU first?🤔
Atm I have a few years old 24" 144hz FHD(1080p) Aoc TN monitor, its decent and I can game and stream with over 300fps in Overwatch 2 for example (atm capped to 360 as any lower causes screen tearing, idk why that happens😅), but the panel quality is kinda shit and I'd love a higher refreshrate and upgrade to 1440p gaming.
Setup:
R7 5800x3d
Asus X570 mobo
Corsair 32gb ram
Asus gtx 1080ti
850w gold psu
2x m.2 (500gb + 1tb)
upgrade gpu first, your fps will suffer if you go 1440p with 1080ti.
1080ti is good for 1080p but nothing more, unless you plan on playing games like valorant/easy to run games
thanks
I’m back again and was wondering how wide the stand is because I’m getting a desk with a monitor stand and want to make sure the legs won’t poke out?

Thank you!
So its good?
its great but i have only had it a few days, smooth crisp, reflections look great in game. everything looks sharp too motion is great to look at
only downside to the monitor is the cable management on the stand i things its rather pointless. but easy fix if you use a monitor arm, overall great monitor happy with it worth the price. however if you prefer curved and darker blacks id get the g7 which on amazon last i checked is in same price range
@@Myst_iii Don't bother with the Samsung G7. It's trash, quality control over at Samsung is just awful. I got mine brand new out of the box and right in the middle a white dead pixel. It was far too noticeable. Other's have said the backlight bleed is just awful and some are experiencing dead pixels after 3 months of use as well. Not worth buying a product and things can do wrong with it after the return window has expired.
@@zouzou_u I second this. Only go for samsung if you're looking at their top tier Neo/OLED stuffs, quality control is AWFUL

I want to upgrade my monitor, I currently have a 1080p ASUS. I have a Ryzen 7 7800x3d with a Raden RX6900XT 16GB. I mostly play COD WARZONE
you can run this monitor fine. its a good one
recommend it 6 months later?
Yes
For some reason this panel has such a low brightness and in dark scenes/games you cannot see anything on it.
Mines alright. For dark scenes you can use nvidia filters or amd equivalent to brighten it up
RPG or Fps setting on monitor. Then move contrast to 90 and shadows on 3 .. adjust everything else to your preference

Flat obviously, curved ips panels generally cost a furtune

Is this better than the asus rog strix XG27AQMR ? Thanks
Just bought mine, It's giving me the option for 10 bpc at 240hz (I'm on AMD if that makes a difference)
just tested it, there is no 240hz 10 bpc for this monitor. only what it states on asus website 144 at 10bpc, 240 and 260 are at 8bpc
Would you say it's better than the gigabyte m27q x?
yes
Is it 240hz by default ?(without using oc)
yes
hello friend i buy a monitor asus vg27aqm1a but when i open monitor settings not all setings is open for me gaming setings game Visual is close for me and Image settings just open hdr settings and nothing more why ??
Why didn't they put a gamma setting in the OSD?
it's so weird idk why, but you can always change gamma in nvidia control panel or windows calibration
forget about the hz difference, which one would you get between MSI G274QPF-QD and this one? does the msi model have better color accuracy or anything better?
msi monitor has better colours, this asus tuf monitor only has 99%srgb, however the contrast and response times are better for the asus monitor, the msi monitor is better for productivity and colour accuracy, the asus monitor is better for gaming.
msi G274QPF-QD is made as a budget version of a more expensive monitor if i rememmber correctly.
overall its a nice monitor though. i like the build quality on both.
@@Myst_iii on asus website, in the title it says 100% srgb and in specs it says 90% dci p3, if it's really 100% srgb (or even 99%) then i really don't need to get the msi model i only need 100% srgb as it's the standard
they are selling both monitors at same price in my country which is crazy
i want a good ips 27 inch 1440p monitor, that has good standard color accuracy (100% srgb) with good response time, good contrast and black control with no vrr (gsync compatible) flickering and ghosting issues. 144-180hz is enough for me and i mainly play aaa games and lock the fps to 70-80 usually and let vrr to lower the hz dynamicaly
none of these options are available in my country:
MSI Optix MAG274QRFQD
Dell G2724D
Dell Alienware AW2724DM
Asus TUF VG27AQL3A
ROG Strix XG27ACS
Gigabyte M27Q X
MSI G274QPF-QD E2
ASRock PG27QFT2A
so i decided to either get the msi qpf model or this asus aqml1a monitor
i'm really confused right now, i wish those monitors that i mentioned were available here
Bro I bought msi mag274qrf-qd e2 last week and it came with 7 stuck pixels. I wanted a replacement and new monitors also came with 2-3 stuck pixels and I am gonna refund it and will buy this monitor in the vidoe, so I would say don't risk your money on msi monitors.
@@GunslingerBrothers i'm going with either this vg27aqml1a monitor or rog xg27acs. also you can find more reviews about this vg27aqml1a monitor on bilibili website (chinese youtube).
this is what i found so far:
they mentioned 1200:1-1500:1 contrast ratio (which is amazing comparing to ips monitors) and 500-550 nits for hdr (way above hdr400). also good response times, they said 8.7ms for 60hz and 4ms for 120hz (and 3.5 for higher hz). you can also achieve 10 bit color if you set the refresh rate to 144 (as myst said in this video). the color accuracy of srgb space coverage was 99.6% and 139% srgb of gamut volume. dci p3 was also not bad tbh, some reviews measured 89% and some 92%. color accuracy can be improved after installing the driver and icm profile on asus website, but feel free to adjust the settings in nvidia control panel. also 1 review measured bad gamma curve (1.850) and one measured good 2.2 gamma curve, if your unit had bad gamma curve you can improve it by increasing gamma in nvidia(or intel/amd) control panel. i think this is one of the best ips monitors. the 180hz model (vg27aql3a) had better color accuracy but 850:1 contrast ratio only. same about the rog model (xg27acs). in the manual of vg27aqml1a asus says you can't change brightness in srgb mode but i asked 8 guys who had this monitor on reddit and they all said it's adjustable even when srgb picture mode is on
Refresh rate looked faster on Windows 10 than it does on windows 11
I miss win 10, but rip you can make win 11 look almost like win 10 so you don't feel like your losing anything
My hp monitor just (shat itself) too, been looking at this one but according to Asus website this is a 10 bit monitor?
240hz 8 bit and 144hz 10 bit
I have a Dell 1440 165hz 27 va curved.
Just received this exact monitor. Having them side by side before and after tuning the Asus has much more visual noise. It looks so grainy and when things are at a distance in game you can just see lines moving outlining at all.
I feel like I've tried every setting, any suggestions?
Make sure you use the dp cable provided
@@Myst_iii yes I am using the one in the box. Game and windows are 1440 260. Hdr off ( made it look worse) GPU is set too.
I'm not sure if it's a setting or feature I'm not clicking, or ifs a bad monitor or if I'm just being too picking not understanding the differents between va and IPS. Like I said things look much grainier at a distance in motion.

I have rtx 3060ti can i play 2k in 240+ hz ...is it a good option to buy this monitor or dell aw2723df ; is it a big difference between these
monitors; btw i play valorant fps games
I recommend 4070 ti Super for Nice 2k gaming
the rtx 4070ti Super is the best available Nvidia graphics card for 2k with great performance and you will reach more than 100 fps in high settings in most games and if you enable dlss you might even get twice as much with frame gen and all, but considering you only play valorant and other fps games, an rtx 3060ti should hit 240+ easily(in valorant), if you're just gonna play fps games then its a good choice, and if your gonna play other games as well on the rtx 3060ti then i recommend a lower option like VG27AQL1A, but if you took my advice and got a rtx 4070ti super then get this monitor and pair it with a intel core i5-14600k(you will see no bottleneck) or a similar performance AMD CPU
Hello hello, quick question if you don't mind. I'm gonna build my first gaming pc ever with a 7800X3D and a RX 7900 XTX and I'm currently looking at monitors to buy. I was looking for a 1440p 240hz monitor since my PC will be very capable, and I found this exact monitor used for less than 2/3rds of the price from a known retailer here in Norway (exact same warranty as new). I come from console gaming, and I'm a console gamer by heart so I was wondering if you have any knowledge about if this monitor works 1440p 120hz on PS5? The PS5 definitely supports it generally but some monitors just don't work because of some auto-detection bullshit idk. Not a deal breaker for me as I'm buying the monitor for the PC but would be good to know. Thanks!
i dont personally have a ps5, but in the nvidia control panel there is a option for 1440p 120hz, but overall for the pc yes this is a good monitor for your specs. i have the same specs 7800x3d but with a 4070ti.
for the console questions im not sure :)
@@Myst_iii no worries man, thanks for the fast reply. As I mentioned, its just some Sony fuckup that some ps5 gamers will have to figure out on their own. Even though you buy a 144/165/170Hz etc. 1440p monitor, sometimes it wont work
Hello, coming from someone with a this monitor and the 7900xtx and a 7800x3d! This that card and cpu will grant very high fps on most games, and I would highly recommend getting this higher refresh rate to experience the full performance. You’ll 150+ in most games at ultra on 1440p
I think the monitor needs to have hdmi 2.1 to support ps5. Don't quote me but may feel like you could research this.
Hello! I can't decide whether I should go for this monitor or not. Or would you be able to reccomend something different? My specs are as such:
RX 7800 XT OC TUF
Intel Core i5-13600KF 3.50GHz 14 cores
MSI PRO B760-P WIFI DDR4 Intel B760 socket 1700 DDR4 5333(OC)MHz ATX Gaming motherboard
Kingston KC3000 SKC3000S/1024G 1TB 7000/6000MB/s PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
GSKILL 32GB (2x16GB) Ripjaws V Black 3200MHz CL16 DDR4 Dual Kit Ram

@@Myst_iii thank you so much for answering. i think this is the best and most expensive 27 inch 1440p tuf monitor. colors are also very important for me since i also do designing and video editing.
what do you like about this one more than the alienware? and also should i get this or the alienware?
honestly i liked the alienware more, but it got dead pixxel in 6 months, but my asus monitors never had issues.
@@Myst_iiiwhat was better about it and would it even be worth exchanging them?
@cythix7 not much better, alienware has higher Britness, colours are 10 bit at 280hz and a thinner bezel, so slightly nicer to look at but honestly minimal difference. Not worth an exchange since alienware has the same dead pixel line for the last 2 models on their monitor, the fact its not fixed in some models shows poor manufacturing quality. Id say the asus tuf monitor does perform the same, looks nice with very few negatives.
If I had to pick between the 2 I'd pick the tuf simply because i know it will last longer, where as the alienware feels premium, but will die in 6 months. Alienware also gets really hot compared to the tuf
I just installed mine. Is there a way to adjust the height?
Just push it uo and down
So I don’t need any special
Cable to make it run 260hz ?
Just a cause hdmi 2.1 ?
I think you need to use Display Port to get those 260Hz but just not sure about it
Why does mine don’t have the overclocking and the gaming once lit up and I only get 144 hz max
possibly wrong monitor, should be 240hz default on displayport
My settings limited, im currently playing on ps5 with the hdmi port, do i have to use the DP to unlock them ?.
Also the support for the vrr it only shows free sync, u have like 3
i dont know much about consoles unfortunately. but on pc yes you would need DP cable
is this or a Alienware AW2724HF 27 Inch better?
This is better imo
My moniter is broken i am thinking of buying a new one and i really want this the problem is i have a rtx 2060 idont know if its good enough for the monitor

Difference? - VG27AQM1A VG27AQML1A
@Q_M_7 VG27AQM1A is dcp 90% coverage vg27aqml1a is 99% srgb coverage, just different colour technology. Imo you need 95% dcp to get better than 99%srgb. But really it's up to your preference. I had a dcp monitor before they are great
also the vg27aqml1a is wqhd has more pixels side to side, the VG27AQM1A is only qhd less side to side pixels.
i got this monitor today and the brightness and every thing is great but i only get 144hz on mw3 and warzone but the game's fps indicator gets to 240-220 do u know hot to fix this issue im having ?
You need to change your hz in the windows settings
So i got this monitor, but how do i turn on HDR, it says that my screen is not supported in HD color windows settings, and i am sure it is the same monitor. i been trying to google the solution, and they all show how you turn on HDR in windows HD color, but i dont have that option in there. and i use windows 10 pro with a 3060TI, i5 13600k and z790 motherboard.

The xl2546k and the vg27aqml1a cost the same where i live but the vg259qm actually costs quite less. Any input would be appreciated. I mainly play Counter Strike. But i also enjoy story games.
