ASUS TUF Gaming VG279Q3A 27" FHD Fast IPS 180Hz Monitor
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG279Q3A is a 27-inch Full HD Fast IPS gaming monitor built for competitive players who need fast, accurate visuals without tearing or motion blur. Its 180 Hz refresh rate combined with AMD FreeSync Premium and ELMB Sync keeps frames fluid and ghosting-free across fast-paced genres. A 99% sRGB colour gamut and anti-glare panel make it equally usable in bright rooms and extended sessions.
Why this product
180 Hz refresh rate for competitive play
The Fast IPS panel runs at up to 180 Hz, reducing the time between frames and giving players a clear view of fast-moving action in shooters, racers, and real-time strategy titles.
1ms GTG response time
A 1ms grey-to-grey response time minimises trailing and smearing behind moving objects, keeping the image sharp even at high frame rates.
ELMB Sync eliminates ghosting and tearing together
ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync allows backlight strobing and variable refresh rate to operate at the same time, something conventional monitors cannot do simultaneously.
AMD FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatible
Variable refresh rate is supported via AMD FreeSync Premium, VESA AdaptiveSync, and NVIDIA G-Sync compatible (under processing), so it works with both major GPU platforms.
99% sRGB colour coverage
The panel covers 99% of the sRGB gamut, producing accurate, well-saturated colour that suits both gaming and general content viewing.
Shadow Boost for dark-scene visibility
Shadow Boost brightens dark areas of a scene without blowing out highlights, helping players spot enemies in shadowed environments.

Best for
- Competitive gamers who prioritise frame-rate headroom and low latency over resolution, benefiting from 180 Hz and 1ms GTG.
- AMD GPU owners who want guaranteed FreeSync Premium support for tear-free gameplay.
- Budget-conscious buyers who need a fast IPS panel with colour accuracy at 1080p without paying for higher resolutions.
- Players in bright rooms where the anti-glare surface reduces reflections during long sessions.
Trade-offs
- Content creators or designers needing wide-gamut coverage beyond sRGB — this panel covers 99% sRGB but no wider colour space is specified.
- Users who need height adjustment — the stand is tilt-only, so ergonomic positioning requires a separate VESA arm.
- Console players targeting 4K output — the native resolution is 1920×1080, which does not support 4K signals.
- NVIDIA users who need confirmed G-Sync compatibility now — G-Sync compatible status is listed as under processing and is not yet certified.
