Yo! Just wanted to let you know that you can actually remove a small piece on the back of the "arm" if you pull quite hard, route your cables and then put it back on. Keep up the great vids!
Just ordered this, my other option is Gigabyte G27Q, but seeing some reviews on our local online shopping store, some got unlucky with dead pixels, so I put my trust on Asus quality once more. Hope they will not disappoint, loved my asus 1080p 144hz, but time to give it to my sister :) Nice video!
@@barefootbreezy6983 I see what you’re saying. Maybe it hasn’t been 7 years. I originally got it for my Xbox but built my pc in 2020 during Covid. Time is a little distorted prior to that tbh.
I was about to comment about it, I have the VG279QR and I use that spot for the powercord only as I can do my HDMI clean outside of it . I found the VG27A brand new for a bargain the other day so im considering the upgrade, I love the monitor and I can't wait to see the difference between 1080p and 1440p and experience HDR for the first time. It sounds like the perfect monitor for my series X right now
Just upgraded from the MSI MAG27C 1080 to this and wow it's stunning to look at, especially transitioning from a 1080p curved monitor. It definitely needs some manual tweaks because the saturation for some colors are blown out of proportion.
Thanks for watching as always! I’m also getting in my permanent monitor which is the Alienware AW271D soon and will do a review for that, really excited for it!
@@MoeTechReviews No problem man :) oh cool I will watch it. I got my notification bell on for you man I will watch it. I believe that is a 1440p monitor.
One thing i can help with fitting your cables inside the stand panel, you can remove the cap so the usb and the power cable can fit thru the stand cable hole. Youre welcome
hey man have you figured that you can pop out the plastic cover at the back of the stand where you insert the cables for you to fit your display port cable head? have the same monitor btw!
Thanks for the review :) I'm considering buying one of these, but i would be interested to hear how it performs at below 100fps, and locked at 60 for example. Is there any flickering caused by the ELMB and does it look smooth if you turn it off?
Since PS5 doesn’t take advantage of 1440p at the moment you could probably just get away with a 1080p monitor for less money, or go all out for a 4K HDMI 2.1 montior for the max experience.
Hello, I like two monitors (tuf gaming vg27aq) and (gigabyte g27q). Color quality and low backlight bleeding are important to me. Which one do you think is better?
How was font sharpness? I do a lot of programming and am hoping the extra resolution makes the fonts more crisp than my 24” ASUS 1080p, which looks pretty sharp
Hello, I would like to ask you for a little help. In the end, should I go with this Asus model or the LG 27GN850-B? In the local store for the Black Friday sale, the LG set is fully reserved, but this Asus that you showed is on a small discount, so the exact model is VG27AQZ. On rtings they give preference to Asus, but on other sites LG took the advantage in terms of color quality. What should I take at the end? I am a user who mostly uses a monitor for work, but I certainly like gaming in my free time that's for sure.
I just ordered this model monitor for my gaming desktop (GTX1660Ti OC 6GB) and my plan is to connect it to my gaming laptop to see how it performs on a GTX1060 3GB.
@@massoff7742 well, it's better than connecting it to a TV set that's not good for a gaming desktop.

Certain presets can block you from making changes to refresh and other settings, also ELMB sync on will grey out your trace free menu. Switch modes around and see how they unlock :)

What’s the best display settings for the best gaming experience on PS5
Did u stick with the racing mode preset, or customise the rgb?

The m27q will be better for full price, but you can usually find this more discounted than the m27q
Is it better? I have been trying to find something to compare the two.
why is sharpness greyed out?
How was font sharpness? I do a lot of programming and am hoping the extra resolution makes the fonts more crisp than my 24” ASUS 1080p, which looks pretty sharp
Text sharpness was very nice. Things will get smaller in comparison to 1080p but you can zoom in a little to make up for that.
can we use AMD gpu in this monitor
