Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ3AZ monitor with 1440p resolution debuts

Asus is further expanding its product lineup of external displays by launching another gaming monitor, which should become available on Amazon sooner rather than later. The VG27AQ3AZ is a monitor with a 180Hz IPS panel, so users shouldn't expect extremely vivid colors or high contrast ratios found on OLED or Mini-LED monitors. However, the VG27AQ3AZ should be more affordable than competing monitors with those panel technologies.

The monitor has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, which is typical for many gaming monitors these days. Asus advertises a gray-to-gray response time of just one millisecond, FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility are listed as well. The gaming display further supports ELMB Sync, which should reduce blurry images and effectively prevent ghosting and tearing.

The typical brightness is listed at just 250 nits, and the TUF Gaming VG27AQ3AZ covers 130% of the sRGB color space according to the official spec sheet. The color temperature can be adjusted in four modes. Otherwise, the gaming monitor does not have an extensive set of features. For instance, a USB hub or even KVM switch are not onboard.

On a more positive note, the Asus monitor has two built-in speakers with an output of 2 watts each. Moreover, there is one DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack in terms of connectivity. The monitor can be swiveled and tilted, but its height is not adjustable. Third-party VESA stands or mounts can be used. Exact pricing or availability info are not available at this time.
