Given it’s an IPS panel, and not a TN panel, you get way better viewing angles. It has sharp angles, optional RGB on the base of the stand, and thin bezels. The Asus ROG PG279Q is unapologetically ROG. Related: Also check out our ASUS PG348Q review. However, the IPS panel provides a much higher picture quality.” Compared to the Asus VG245H with its 1ms response time, only a benchmark is catching the differences in refresh rate and motion blur. You can use the on-screen display options to lower hertz to 144, 120, and 60Hz if your rig isn’t the greatest.ĭue to the IPS panel, this great 1440p monitor does have an ever so slightly slower response time of 4ms.

If your rig can’t output in 165Hz, that’s no problem. The cherry on top is NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology, which reduces screen tearing and stuttering. It doesn’t have HDR, but even at 1440p, its 100% sRGB color gamut gives such a detailed image with a 1000:1 contrast ratio, which is far superior to the Acer ED273’s 1080p and low brightness. That smooth transition from frame to frame, provided you have the right rig, is what makes the Asus PG279Q one of the best gaming monitors. Gaming with a fine 120Hz gaming monitor is one thing, but gaming at 165Hz is what dreams are made of.
