The ASUS TUF Gaming VG279QM5A is a 27-inch Full HD Fast IPS monitor built for competitive gamers who need rapid, accurate visuals without screen tearing or ghosting.

Why this product
240Hz Fast IPS for fluid competitive play
The Fast IPS panel runs at up to 240Hz with a 0.3ms minimum response time, keeping motion crisp and input lag low during fast-paced gameplay.
Works with both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs
It carries both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certification, so variable refresh rate works regardless of which GPU brand is in the system.
ELMB SYNC eliminates ghosting and tearing together
ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync lets the backlight strobe and variable refresh rate run at the same time, reducing both ghosting and screen tearing simultaneously.
99% sRGB colour coverage
The panel covers 99% of the sRGB colour space, delivering accurate, vibrant colour for games and everyday desktop use.
Software OSD control via DisplayWidget Center
DisplayWidget Center lets you adjust monitor settings directly from the desktop with a mouse, removing the need to navigate physical OSD buttons.
