27″ ASUS TUF Gaming VG27VQM5F – Full Specifications
Curved, fast and easy on your graphics card, the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27VQM5F is a 27-inch Full HD VA monitor with a refresh of up to 280 Hz.
Overview
Curved, fast and easy on your graphics card, the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27VQM5F is a 27-inch Full HD VA monitor with a refresh of up to 280 Hz. 4000:1 contrast gives dark scenes more depth than a typical IPS screen, and two HDMI 2.1 ports suit consoles. Speakers are built in. At 81 ppi text looks softer than on QHD, and height needs a separate arm. It's a sensible first high-refresh monitor for console players, and for PCs that aren't built for QHD.
