27″ Asus TUF Gaming VG27VQ3B – Specs & Features
The Asus TUF Gaming VG27VQ3B pairs a 27-inch VA panel at 1920 × 1080 with a refresh rate of up to 180 Hz.
Overview
The Asus TUF Gaming VG27VQ3B pairs a 27-inch VA panel at 1920 × 1080 with a refresh rate of up to 180 Hz. It offers 81 ppi pixel density, 250 nits typical brightness, 3000:1 static contrast and 90% DCI-P3 coverage. Variable refresh covers 48–180 Hz, quotes 1 ms response and supports FreeSync. Inputs include 2× HDMI 2.0 and 1× DisplayPort 1.2. The stand tilts only. 2 × 2 W speakers are built in, and it weighs 4.9 kg with the stand. It suits players who want smooth motion for fast games. The main trade-off: 81 ppi at 27 inches makes text look softer than on sharper panels.
