This monitor is excellent for gaming with a native 144Hz refresh rate that you can overclock to 170Hz over a DisplayPort connection. The higher resolution is an advantage for those who like more immersive gaming as it delivers better detail, but it also comes at the cost of a lower refresh rate to not be too taxing on your graphics card. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ is the best ASUS gaming monitor with a 1440p resolution. It's an impressive monitor, and it delivers an excellent gaming experience. It also has a low contrast ratio, so it's not ideal for a dark room. It even supports HDR, but sadly, this adds very little, as it's not bright enough in HDR to display an impactful HDR experience, and it can't display a wide color gamut. Its wide viewing angles make it easy to share your screen with someone else, as it ensures that they see the same thing you do. It has great peak brightness and decent reflection handling, ensuring glare isn't an issue in a bright room. You can even rotate it to portrait orientation, making it a great choice for multimonitor setups, thanks to its thin bezels. Like many ASUS monitors, it has outstanding ergonomics, so you can easily adjust it to an ideal viewing position. It's also NVIDIA G-SYNC certified, and it's even compatible with FreeSync, ensuring a nearly tear-free gaming experience from almost any source, including the Xbox Series X. Its fast refresh rate results in fantastic motion handling, with almost no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. Speaking of motion handling, it doesn't disappoint. It's not as well-suited for atmospheric or immersive games, like RPGs. It's a 27 inch monitor with a relatively low pixel density, so it's best-suited for games where motion handling is more important than graphical details, like MOBAs or fast-paced action games. The ASUS VG279QM is the best ASUS monitor for gaming with a 1080p resolution that we've tested.
