ASUS VA279HG 27-Inch Full HD IPS Gaming Monitor 120Hz
The ASUS VA279HG 27-Inch Full HD IPS Gaming Monitor 120Hz is designed for everyday gamers and home users who want smooth, comfortable visuals without eye strain. Its 120Hz refresh rate with Adaptive-Sync reduces tearing and stuttering, while TÜV Rheinland-certified Flicker-free and Low Blue Light technologies make it easier to work or play for extended periods. The IPS panel delivers 178° viewing angles and 99% sRGB coverage, making it a practical choice for both gaming and general use.
Why this product
120Hz with Adaptive-Sync reduces tearing
The 120Hz refresh rate pairs with Adaptive-Sync (VRR) technology and 1ms MPRT response time to keep motion clear and frame pacing consistent during fast-paced gaming.
TÜV-certified eye care built in
Both Flicker-free and Low Blue Light certifications come from TÜV Rheinland, providing independently verified protection for long viewing sessions.
IPS panel with 178° viewing angles
The IPS panel maintains accurate colour and contrast when viewed from wide angles horizontally and vertically, making it suitable for shared viewing or multi-display arrangements.
99% sRGB colour coverage
Wide sRGB coverage means colours in games, photos and video are rendered accurately, without the washed-out look of panels with narrower gamuts.
Frameless design with VESA mounting
The frameless border keeps desk space feeling open, and the 100×100mm VESA pattern means it can be moved off the stand and onto a wall mount or monitor arm.
Low power draw under regular use
Typical power consumption sits below 15W, and power saving mode drops below 0.5W, keeping running costs low relative to larger or higher-tier panels.

Best for
- Console and PC gamers at 1080p who want a 120Hz panel with VRR to reduce tearing without moving to a higher resolution.
- Long daily sessions — the TÜV Rheinland-certified Flicker-free and Low Blue Light features address the most common sources of screen-related eye discomfort.
- Compact or wall-mounted setups — the frameless design and 100×100mm VESA compatibility make it straightforward to mount on an arm or wall bracket.
- Energy-conscious users — under 15W typical consumption is low for a 27-inch panel, and power saving mode drops below 0.5W.
- Mixed work and gaming use — 99% sRGB and an IPS panel give accurate enough colour for everyday photo editing and content consumption alongside gaming.
Trade-offs
- High-resolution workflows — the 1920×1080 resolution on a 27-inch panel produces a relatively low pixel density (0.311mm pitch), which may appear soft for detailed design or text work.
- Competitive gamers needing above 120Hz — the panel is rated to a maximum of 120Hz, so it does not match monitors offering higher refresh rates.
- Users needing height or pivot adjustment — the stand supports only tilt (+23° to −5°) with no height adjustment or pivot function.
- DisplayPort users — no DisplayPort input is available; connectivity is limited to one HDMI 1.4 and one VGA port.
- Anyone needing built-in audio — this monitor has no speakers; only an earphone output jack is provided.
