Features of the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL5A Monitor

This monitor offers an advanced technical mix focused on smooth gameplay and color accuracy, with its features distributed as follows:

Exceptional competitive performance (210Hz & 0.3ms)

To always stay one step ahead of your opponents, the monitor comes with a factory-overclocked refresh rate of up to 210Hz, providing extremely smooth motion. With a Fast IPS panel, you will achieve a response time of up to 1ms (GTG) and it can drop to 0.3ms at a minimum, completely eliminating motion blur and latency, ensuring instant response to your commands.

QHD resolution and vibrant colors (DisplayHDR 400)

With a size of 27 inches and a resolution of QHD (2560x1440), the monitor provides excellent pixel density for sharp details. To enhance visual quality, the monitor supports the display of 1.07 billion colors (10-bit) and covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space and 130% of sRGB. It is also certified VESA DisplayHDR 400 which ensures a high brightness of up to 400 nits and excellent contrast between dark and light colors.

Exclusive gaming technologies (ELMB Sync & FreeSync Premium)
