ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ1A 27" 16:9 170Hz QHD HDR IPS Adaptive-Sync Gaming Monitor

The ASUS VG27AQ1A is a 27 inch gaming monitor designed for players who want sharp QHD detail and fluid, responsive action. Its 2560 x 1440 panel uses IPS technology, so colors stay consistent whether you are seated directly in front of the screen or sharing gameplay highlights with friends gathered at your side.

Out of the box, the display covers 95 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut and reaches 130 percent of the sRGB space. Support for HDR10 adds extra depth when you load titles that carry high-dynamic-range assets or stream HDR video. A peak brightness of 250 nits keeps everyday content clear in a typical bedroom or studio setup.

Speed is where the VG27AQ1A separates itself from standard office monitors. An overclockable 170 Hz refresh rate works with Adaptive-Sync technology, so tearing and stuttering stay out of sight whether your system runs an AMD Radeon or an NVIDIA GeForce card. ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) can be enabled to reach a 1 ms Moving Picture Response Time, a benefit during fast flick shots in competitive shooters or hectic team fights in MOBAs.

Connectivity is straightforward: two HDMI 2.0 ports let you keep both a console and a laptop attached, while a DisplayPort 1.2 input serves a desktop PC. Integrated 2 W stereo speakers provide quick audio when a headset is not handy, and a 3.5 mm jack remains available for private listening.

The stand tilts and swivels, so you can angle the screen exactly where it feels natural during long sessions. If you prefer a monitor arm, the 100 x 100 mm VESA mount pattern on the back makes wall or desk mounting simple.

Whether you are climbing the ranks in competitive esports, exploring expansive open-world RPGs, or mixing gaming with everyday content creation, the ASUS VG27AQ1A offers a balance of clarity, color accuracy, and smooth motion that suits both casual and dedicated players.
