ASUS has launched the best new 4K HDR monitor gaming model. The ASUS VG27UQ1A has a Fast IPS panel with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), achieves a maximum refresh rate of 160 Hz, and supports HDR and Variable Overdrive. In addition to a 1 ms fast gray change, 95 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space is promised.
Since it is an ELMB Sync model, FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatible Adaptive Sync can be combined with a mode to combat moving image blur. 4K120, ALLM, and VRR are available on compatible game consoles. The OSD, meanwhile, houses additional gaming features such as a black stabilizer, a crosshair overlay, an FPS display, and a sniper scope. The DisplayWidget Center software allows you to monitor settings outside the OSD.
The interfaces have two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), and a headphone output. 4K160 is possible on all graphic connections. The ergonomics are poor, with a tilt, VESA mount, blue light filtering, and flicker-free backlighting.

The new Asus 27-inch monitor price is $369 on Amazon and Adorama, but it is available for $349.99 at Newegg’s online store.
