NEXT-GEN ADAPTIVE SYNC

TUF Gaming VG27AQ is a 27-inch, WQHD (2560x1440), HDR IPS display with an ultrafast 165Hz* designed for professional gamers and those seeking immersive gameplay. Those are some serious specs, but not even the most exciting thing the VG27AQ has in store.
For the first time in any gaming monitor, Motion Blur Reduction and Adaptive-sync can be enabled at the same time. This new technology is called ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC). ELMB SYNC works with G-SYNC Compatible, allowing gamers to enjoy sharp, high speed frames.

Weird and Frustrating DisplayPort Issues 7/28/2020 4:23:50 PM

Pros: - Support for GSYNC and FreeSync is nice.
- They are aesthetically pleasing.

Cons: - When connected through displayports, the monitors do something weird where they completely shut down and they don't always come back after waking from sleep. This is especially bad with a Macbook using a Caldigit TB3 dock.
- Dead pixel 1 month after owning it.

Overall Review: I bought this monitor due to the recommendations from RTINGS as "the best monitor for Macbook Pro". I trust those guys and I didn't think they would steer me wrong. When the monitor is functioning, it's great - they're snappy, with minimal motion blur, and great for gaming or productivity. The problem is that they often will not display an image after waking my laptop back up. My Windows 10 desktop didn't fare much better - every time the PC went to sleep, the monitors would disconnect, forcing all of my open windows into a small space in the top left corner.

It's really annoying having to readjust all of my windows every time I log in. The only workaround I can think of is to simply use a screensaver and set my power saving options so that the monitor / PC will never cut off but I shouldn't have to do something like that in 2020.

Sorry RTINGS, but after a few months of testing, I cannot recommend this monitor - be wary of the "no returns" policy that Newegg has. Clearly there's something wrong here and they know it.

Amazing looking monitor 7/23/2020 9:36:31 PM

Pros: Good viewing angles, rich colors, all around solid monitor for the price.

Cons: Backlight bleed is there but is minimal compared to other monitors, but only when sitting on a black screen.

Overall Review: Absolutely love this monitor for the price. Image is crisp and clear with a great contrast. 165hz never looked so good. This would be 5 stars but unfortunately one of my HDMI ports came defective and would result in wild flickering in between picture and static. The other HDMI port and display port work flawlessly but it’s unfortunately that one does not work. Highly recommended monitor for anyone who wants to invest in a high refresh rate 1440p panel.

Beautiful 7/23/2020 5:49:11 PM

Pros: High Quality

Cons: Expensive.

Overall Review: Monitor is sick enough id consider getting another, only thing holding me back is the price tag. Despite that the physical settings menu is easy to navigate and the Monitor itself is really good looking and the display is on par with what you pay for.
