Responsive, looks great, surprising colour depth

This was a great upgrade for me coming from a 1080p monitor. Although other display types have nearly caught up in terms of responsiveness and offer better colour accuracy, I still prefer TN panels because I find the others are more likely to give me a headache. That said for a TN panel screen, the colours are surprisingly good, the HDR support isn't the greatest but it does what it says on the box. Responsiveness is top notch and I haven't noticed a single tear or ghosted image with the GSYNC and ELMB SYNC. Very happy with this monitor.

perfect for the price

I currently have 2 of these monitors. they are perfect for gaming and everyday use. I have put over 584 hours into GTAV using this monitor, 135hrs on Mass effect legendary edition, 180 hrs in Cyberpunk 2077, 2100 hrs doing college work, and have had no performance issues at all no dead or reduced pixels, nothing would recommend to anyone who wants quality at a budget

The 2K that thinks it can.

This is a shocking monitor, it has every bell and whistle. HDR, build in speakers, High resolution, smooth Hertz. Then it does something extra, I was not expecting nor wanting, but won't argue. It can do 4k, some times. It runs at 143.972Hz says windows, but the setting is 144Hz and it is smooth and crisp. It has the 0.4 Response time that I expected! The 27 inch screen pops in the tiny bezel it has. The build in speakers are poor, but for a gamer most games are done with headphones, so I am not knocking to much for that. The HDR it has, is the first time I used HDR ever, so I am not sure the point of HDR, when I turn it on the colours get washed out. It might just me user error, I can not say, nor do I wish to use HDR anyway. It easily displays 2560 by 1440, however it also does something I did not expect. It downscales 5120 by 2880 to 2560 by 1440. Which is an expected thing for most 2k screens as things like the PS4 Pro does not support 2k. But what I was not expected it, when on my PS4 Pro, it according to the screen info is displaying 3840 by 2160.

Great Image Quality!

I have this monitor paired with an Asus ROG Strix RTX 2060 Super Advanced gpu and the combination is smoother than silk! Seamless video quality, gaming is easier than it ever was, and I have noticed a marked improvement on how my eyes feel after a long gaming session. Not waking up with burning eyes, or feeling like Mlmy eyes had to strain is a great feeling!

TUF Gaming VG27BQ is a 27-inch, QHD (2560x1440), HDR display with an ultrafast 165Hz (overclocking) and 0.4ms response time designed for professional gamers and those seeking immersive gameplay. Those are some serious specs, but not even the most exciting thing the VG27BQ has in store.

For the first time in any gaming monitor, Motion Blur Reduction and Adaptive-sync can be enabled at the same time. This new technology is called ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC). ELMB SYNC works with Adaptive-sync, allowing gamers to enjoy sharp, high speed frames.

Note: 0.4ms response time is the fastest based on internal tests. Response time may vary depending on.

27" QHD
TUF Gaming VG27BQ features QHD 2560 x 1440 panel that delivers four times the resolution of 720p and 109 pixels per inch. You get to enjoy greater image detail and up to 77% more onscreen desktop space than standard Full HD (1920 x 1080) displays.

165Hz overclocking
TUF Gaming VG27BQ has a super-fast 165Hz overclocking, ensuring that even fast-paced games played at the highest visual settings look buttery smooth and completely lag-free. Get the upper hand in first-person-shooters, racing, real-time strategy and sports titles.

Note: Selective graphics cards/GPUs can support 165Hz graphics source output (DP port). Please note that Over Clocking function/performance depends on the GPUs or contents displayed. ASUS only provides this function. The performance or any side effect after activation is not guaranteed.

Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync
With ELMB SYNC, you can enable ELMB (low-motion-blur technology) and adaptive-Sync at the same time, eliminating ghosting and tearing for sharp visuals and high frame rates while gaming.

ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur is to eliminate smearing and motion blur. It also makes moving objects appear even sharper, so gameplay is more fluid and responsive

HDR

Multi HDR Mode
Now you can choose from multiple HDR modes to adjust monitor HDR performance based on the current viewing scenario.

HDR 10
To more fully realize gamers' vision, TUF Gaming is compatible with industry-standard HDR10 high dynamic range for color and brightness levels that exceed the capabilities of ordinary monitors.

In-Game Enhancements

Shadow Boost
ASUS Shadow Boost technology clarifies dark areas of the game without overexposing brighter areas, improving overall viewing while also making it easier to spot enemies hidden in dark areas of the map.

GamePlus
The ASUS-exclusive, integrated GamePlus hotkey offers in-game enhancements that help you get more out of your game. This function is co-developed with input from pro gamers, allowing them to practice and improve their gaming skills.

GameVisual
ASUS GameVisual Technology has seven pre-set display modes to optimize visuals for different types of content. This unique feature can be easily accessed through a hotkey or the on-screen display settings menu.

Flicker-Free technology
Flicker-Free technology reduces flicker to minimize eyestrain for improved comfort when you're embroiled in long gaming sessions.

Ultra-Low Blue Light technology
ASUS Ultra-Low Blue Light technology reduces the amount of potentially harmful blue light emitted by the display. Four different filter settings are available to control the amount of blue light reduction.

Engineering

Rich connectivity
Extensive connectivity options, including, I/O: DisplayPort1.2, HDMI (v2.0) x2 support a wide array of multimedia devices.

Ergonomic design
