Amazon is offering a new Asus TUF Gaming VG27VQ3B gaming monitor with a discount. Asus 27-inch 180Hz curved monitor has an increased refresh rate and is also curved, which is also said to be beneficial for immersion. The panel is said to switch quickly and supports ELMB.
The 27″ VA monitor features a 1500R curved screen with a 1920 x 1080 pixel (Full HD) resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 180 Hz. However, achieving this refresh rate in modern games may require lowering graphics settings, even with powerful gaming hardware.
Other features of the Asus VG27VQ3B include a 1 ms response time (gray to gray), 8-bit color depth, and 90 percent DCI-P3 coverage. Additionally, it offers a typical brightness of 250 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 3000:1. Consequently, these specifications should ensure rich black levels. There are two speakers on board, but each only produces 2 watts. ELMB-Sync allows you to combine the anti-tearing technology FreeSync with an anti-blur tool. It also supports HDR and variable overdrive.
Asus is likely adhering to the stricter FreeSync certification guidelines with the VG27VQ3B, which is why it does not mention a premium level. These guidelines typically apply to monitors with at least a 200 Hz refresh rate for Full HD and WQHD displays.
Regarding interfaces, the 27-inch model includes two HDMI 2.0 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.2, and a headphone output. The OSD provides GamePlus features such as an FPS display, black stabilizer, and crosshair overlays. Asus 27-inch 180Hz curved monitor features tilt adjustment, a VESA mount (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-free backlighting.
