Just a little thing; at 3:02 you mention the different game visual modes and how “fps” was a preset that increased your frames, this is not the case. They are merely visuals (like the name) and help for said games in terms of visibility. The fps (for first person shooters) mode makes it easier to see the darker spots of the monitor and more center focused, racing for seeing the car and others
One more question please: The Amazon description lists under Special Features a built in webcam. I have not seen this mentioned in any reviews. Can you please confirm whether or not a webcam is included?
Would you still recommend purchasing this monitor? I just purchased it today but I’m having second thoughts as it seems quite outdated. My price range is anywhere between 3-400
They seem so similar. I haven’t looked at the G27F. I am happy with my Asus but I would probably got with what is on sale between the two to make my decision.
Does this monitor have less backlight or 'glow' than IPS monitors? I bought two IPS and the IPS glow gets in the way a lot, I don't care much about colors.
hi thqnk you for the video. between asus vg279q1r vs qsus vg27vq zhqt do you recommend buying ? and finally is this vg278qr good for gaming because it is TN?
I thing the 278qr is great for gaming especially for FPS games. I would probably go with the q1r if I had a choice because it is an IPS monitor so you will get a better picture and colors if that matters too you.
@@gandalfthewhite2809 VA monitor a thing called as "Black Smearing" which is very annoying when playing games which have sudden motion animation. I would go for a IPS monitor(LG, Gigabyte, MSI make some good IPS monitors)
Do not buy this for ps5 beacuse you will get only 60fps at 1080p with hdmi port , it only supports 165hz with display port which is not available on ps5
thinking of potentially getting this vg278r because i wanna start playing a few games, but is the image quality also good for movies and like doing normal stuffs on the monitor like typing a document since its a gaming monitor?
I want ask one thing when I choose fps mode and then I want to put bluelight filter but its change fps mode turning race mode .. is it not possbile to add bluelight filter in fps mode ?
Nice review man! I have a LG ultrawide 29" IPS. I thinking in purchase this monitor in 24.5" version, will be a downgrade regards de color and view angle?
I think you should take your time and go for 27" going down in size will be a disappointment in the long run. You will notice the size difference going from 29 to 24. There are plenty of sales during Prime day of 27 monitors and I am pretty sure you will find an awesome deal
@@SHELTECH4 Nice 👍! already tried a 34" LG UW 1080P in the past. Terrible resolution for 34 for FHD, all pixels are visible. Do you know if this happen with 27"@1080p?
I was thinking of buying this one because I already have an asus 144 hz 24' inchest TN monitor, I've had it for years, and it was perfect. Wanted to upgrade it, bought a 27 inch 2k LG monitor IPS, but the ghosting was incredibly noticeable and also color bleeding at the edges and awfully bad black due to the IPS technology were really a turn off. I returned the product. I read IPS monitors between 200-300 dollars have almost all these issues, VA screens have them too sometimes. < The only thing that prevents me from buying this one is the fact that is a full HD and not a 2k, are the image quality good anyway, or are the pixels too noticeable?
Coming from better resolution monitors you will notice more pixels especially if you are using this monitor next to sa 1440p or 4k. But during gameplay I appreciated the responsiveness and didn't notice the pixels too much.
TN are the best to play at night or in the dark i return 3 monitor 2x ips white spot (ips glow) on each corner and 1x va panel alot off smearing ( black shadow ) not fast bad color get TN no one like TN but me YES !
no but yet again no monitor has 0.5ms its a advertising trick none of the 1ms or 0.5ms monitor have what they advertise (take everything i get with a grain of salt tho)

No webcam
I got mine, but there’s no response time option. Is it already at the fastest response time? It’s kind of annoying

I think You can do better if your budget is 3 to 400 dollars
@@SHELTECH4 okay thanks for the input. Do you have any suggestions?
@@justinmaurer94I suggest LG or Dell. I like the LG Ultragear line of monitors if into gaming
can you see/feel the difference between 0.5 and 1ms, not sure if i should get 0.5 or 1ms for my ps5
Honestly I don't think you will see a difference. Although if you are a competion gamer you may want and know how that .5ms will give you an advantage
good video very well explained. Could you tell me which graphics card did you test this monitor with? thank you
I used my GTX 1070. Thanks for watching
does the monitor support hdmi 144hz?
HDMI Is only Supporting up to 120 Hz.
Which mouse should I buy?
HyperX Pulsefire Surge
Logitech G403
or any other my budget is $50
Logitech's are number one in my book but I also like Pwnage when they are on sale
One question sir, new to monitors but will this connect/work with a ps5?
Yea. On the website it’s shows a picture of a PS4 controller so it should work. But still double check it
Do you recommend the ASUS VG278QR 27” OR GIGABYTE G27F 2 - 27"
They seem so similar. I haven’t looked at the G27F. I am happy with my Asus but I would probably got with what is on sale between the two to make my decision.
Does this monitor have less backlight or 'glow' than IPS monitors? I bought two IPS and the IPS glow gets in the way a lot, I don't care much about colors.

Should i go for this or should i choose Samsung Odyssey G3 27" (G30A)?

Hey I’m planning to buy this one but I saw on the Amazon review that the brightness is low and like dead pixel or something?
No dead pixels for me and brightness is good for a budget monitor. I use as my secondary monitor in my setup now though not for gaming.
can work?
What u think for the ps5 just want something that’s pretty good when it comes to pic cod
Do not buy this for ps5 beacuse you will get only 60fps at 1080p with hdmi port , it only supports 165hz with display port which is not available on ps5
@@AllRounder-ur7hyno wtf
I have this exact monitor right know not sure wich monitor to get as secondary 27 inch ASUS or msi or aoc any recommended?
Go with what features you value. Prices are great right now. Maybe you want to match the monitors for a clean look
I have an RTX 3070, is this monitor compatible with it? And will it give me 165hz
Yep you will
Does it work with ps5? Others tell they can get 120
thinking of potentially getting this vg278r because i wanna start playing a few games, but is the image quality also good for movies and like doing normal stuffs on the monitor like typing a document since its a gaming monitor?
I find it just as good as any 1080p monitor. Great for gaming and able to do regular work and movies. Of course not as good as a 4K monitor
Why i got no hdmi but only display port inside the box??
Alright bro you may know this now but for anyone who ever goes to this video is cause go pc you plug the monitor to the gpu
Is this Hdmi 2.1?
I want ask one thing when I choose fps mode and then I want to put bluelight filter but its change fps mode turning race mode .. is it not possbile to add bluelight filter in fps mode ?
found this monitor for like $150 is it still worth it to buy?
I still use as a second monitor. I think it is but shop around it may go on sale or you may find something cheaper
can you connect your xbox to it?
We got the same speakers and monitor
Do you need a actual PC for the monitor?
You can use with PS4, Xbox, Mac, firestick etc.
Can you remove the stand for vesa mounting? At 1:35 it looks like there might be covered holes for that purpose.
Yes You Can!
i have a 6750 xt gpu will this monitor work well with it?
Should be fine
Whats better 0.5ms or 1ms?
.5 but honestly I don’t think you will notice a difference between them. Unless competition gamer
Can you connect any gaming pc to the monitor?
no just mine
