Overview
The Asus TUF Gaming VG27UQ1A is a 27-inch IPS gaming monitor running 3840 × 2160 at up to 160 Hz. It offers 163 ppi pixel density, 1000:1 static contrast and 95% DCI-P3 coverage. Variable refresh covers 48–160 Hz, quotes 1 ms response and supports FreeSync Premium and G-Sync. Inputs include 2× HDMI 2.1 and 1× DisplayPort 1.4. The stand tilts only. There are no speakers, and it weighs 5 kg with the stand. It suits players who want smooth motion for fast games. The main trade-off: tilt-only stand has no height, swivel or pivot adjustment.
