Our take
The ASUS VG279Q1A is a solid all-around gaming monitor. The 165Hz refresh rate is great for smooth gameplay, and the IPS panel delivers vibrant colors and wide viewing angles. Response time is acceptable at 3ms, though not the fastest. The 27-inch size at 1080p is fine for gaming, but text can look a bit soft. The stand is basic with tilt only. For the price, it's a good upgrade from 60Hz, especially if you value color quality.
