ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A 27-Inch QHD 170Hz IPS Gaming Monitor

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A is a 27-inch WQHD gaming monitor built for players who demand sharp visuals and smooth motion in every session. Driven by an IPS panel at a native resolution of 2560×1440, it delivers 77% more screen desktop space compared to a standard 1080p display, making it equally capable for productivity tasks and competitive play. At its core, the VG27AQL1A runs at up to 170Hz via DisplayPort, giving fast-paced titles a clear motion advantage. The 1ms MPRT response time (based on internal testing; actual results may vary by test conditions) keeps moving objects crisp. ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) technology allows motion-blur reduction and adaptive-sync to operate simultaneously, reducing ghosting and screen tearing at the same time — something conventional monitors cannot do concurrently. The monitor carries NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certification and supports AMD FreeSync via Adaptive-Sync (48Hz–170Hz), making it compatible with a wide range of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-series, GTX 16-series, RTX 20-series, and newer graphics cards, as well as AMD Radeon GPUs. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is enabled by default for a seamless, tear-free experience. The IPS panel covers 130% of the sRGB colour gamut and 95% of DCI-P3, providing vivid, accurate colour from virtually any angle thanks to 178°/178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles. HDR-10 content is supported, and the display holds VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, with a peak brightness of 400 cd/m². ASUS GameVisual offers seven preset modes (Scenery, Racing, Cinema, RTS, RPG, FPS, sRGB, and MOBA), while GamePlus overlays include a crosshair, timer, FPS counter, display alignment tool, and sniper mode. Dynamic Shadow Boost enhances dark scene detail. TÜV Rheinland certifications for Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light confirm comfort-oriented engineering for extended use. Connectivity includes two HDMI 2.0 ports (supporting up to 144Hz) and one DisplayPort 1.2 (supporting up to 170Hz), plus two USB 3.0 downstream ports. Built-in stereo speakers deliver 2W × 2 RMS audio. The fully adjustable stand offers tilt (+20°/−5°), swivel (±20°), pivot (±90°), and 130mm height adjustment, with 100×100mm VESA compatibility for wall mounting. A Kensington lock slot is included for security.
