The Asus has listed the new TUF Gaming VG27VQM1B monitor online. The built-in Fast VA panel is curved at 1500 R, has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels (WQHD), promises a maximum refresh rate of 280 Hz, and should deliver solid black levels in games thanks to 4000:1 contrast. The gray change is said to take place within 1 ms.

According to the specs, you can also expect 10-bit color depth, 90% DCI-P3, 250 cd/m² typical brightness, and a power consumption of less than 23 watts. You can use FreeSync Premium for anti-tearing technology, and you can also activate the ELMB mode to minimize blurring in moving images.
Asus has also included two integrated speakers, each producing 2 watts. The monitor’s interface selection features two HDMI 2.0 inputs (supporting WQHD at up to 240 Hz), a DisplayPort 1.2 (supporting WQHD at up to 280 Hz), and a headphone output. The 27-inch 1080p curved monitor offers limited ergonomic options, including tilt adjustment, VESA mount compatibility (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and a flicker-free backlight.
The OSD provides access to gaming features such as variable overdrive, black stabilizer, FPS display, and a crosshair overlay.
