Package was fulfilled quickly and delivered on time. Asus did a good job at packaging so I wasnt too concerned about shipping. Ive only had limited time with this but its a great monitor so far! Although thats in comparison to a few years old 1080p.

PROS: - High quality packaging, build, and components. - The interface is easy to use. - Overclocking the panel is a cinch! - I have yet to see a single glitch, tear, or artifact. - Physical adjustments are smooth and effortless. CONS: - Putting the base on the stand is slightly awkward. It helps to have a second set of hands. - There was an issue with my first monitor where I got a black screen for about a second on first boot of the day. Asus support said "working as desired" but adorama support said "uh.. no. Send that one back and get a new one" so I did. Working just fine now! I'm absolutely in love with this display and possibly even more in love with Adorama. Will definitely be checking this site for future purchases. This was the same price as amazon/B&H/etc but for the service I would consider paying a small premium. Piece of mind is a thing! Absolutely in LOVE with this monitor.

I really love this monitor. It looks excellent and smooth and I’m very happy with it. At first the G-sync didn’t work but that was just because I needed to update my drivers.

Great monitor, arrived on time and in great condition. No dead pixels, G Sync and ELMB Sync work great. Games are buttery smooth now.

ELMB Sync
HDR High Dynamic Range
TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A is a 27-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) HDR IPS display with an ultrafast 170Hz refresh rate. Designed for gamers and others seeking immersive gameplay, it offers some serious specs. But there's more.
TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A also features exclusive ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) technology. ELMB SYNC enables motion blur reduction and adaptive-sync technologies to run simultaneously for super smooth gameplay.
Extreme detail and accurate color
The QHD (2560 x 1440) panel in TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A delivers up to 77% more onscreen desktop space than standard Full HD (1920 x 1080) displays. Thanks to integrated IPS technology, it provides superior imagery with outstanding color across 130% of the sRGB gamut, an astounding 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and 178 Degree viewing angles with minimal distortion and color shift.
Super-fast 170Hz refresh rate
An impressive 170Hz refresh rate eliminates lag and motion blur to give you the upper hand in first-person shooter, racing, real-time strategy, and sports titles. This ultrafast refresh rate lets you play at the highest visual settings and react instantly to what's onscreen.
Select graphics cards/GPUs can support 170Hz graphics source output (via DisplayPort). Please note that overclocking function/performance depends on the GPU or content displayed. Actual real-world performance is hardware-dependent.
Enjoy super-smooth gameplay
ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) makes it possible to enable motion blur and adaptive-sync technologies at the same time, eliminating ghosting and tearing to ensure incredibly sharp visuals at high frame rates while gaming. Extreme Low Motion Blur technology (ELMB) provides a 1 millisecond Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT) to eliminate smearing and motion blur. It also makes moving objects appear even sharper, and gameplay is more fluid and responsive.
Note: 1 ms MPRT is based on internal test results. Actual response time may vary in real world settings.
Experience true color
TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A immerses you in super-smooth ultra realistic visuals, enabling 130% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 color spaces to provide more distinct color gradations.
HDR 400

TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A features DisplayHDR 400 to provide smoother and finer contrast between the brightest and darkest areas of the screen. It also delivers an impressive peak luminance of 400 nits to enable brighter imagery.
Multiple HDR
Multi-HDR mode
Two HDR modes allow you to adjust the monitor's HDR performance based on the current viewing scenario.
High-flying design
