Review Summary
2025-06-24T20:00:00
Been using the ASUS VG279Q1A for a few weeks now, and honestly, it's one of the best upgrades I've made to my setup. The 165Hz refresh rate makes everything feel super fluid, especially when I'm gaming - motion blur is basically non-existent. Colors are vibrant, and the IPS panel gives great viewing angles, which is awesome if you're doing more than just gaming. It came with plenty of display options and was easy to set up right out of the box. I also really appreciate the eye care tech - less strain during long sessions, which is huge. The stand's not bad either; it's adjustable and feels sturdy. Whether you're playing fast-paced shooters or just binge-watching shows, this monitor delivers.
