What customers say about "Key Specs"

ASUS VG278Q Gaming Monitor

Amazing picture quality in games, and great framerates with the 144hz.
144hz was amazing, these being my first set of 144hz monitors.
I’m on an Xbox One X, and even though it’s not 4K, the refresh rate/ms is a game changer.
At 144hz I have noticed no screen tearing and response rate is amazing.
I play competitive games that are demanding screenwise. This one is a good screen, especially for its response time and refresh rate.

ASUS VG275Q Gaming Monitor

A 1ms response and a refresh rate of 75hz means it's slightly faster in regards to displaying images compared to most other monitors in its class which are 60hz.
For Xbox one x and PS4 pro it's perfect the game consoles are set for 60hz this monitor is set at 75hz.
Great for gaming, particularly retro gaming. Good refresh rate.
This monitor is great for gaming. It’s 1ms response time is amazing for gaming and just for normal use.
The 75hz makes everything just a little bit more smooth for gaming.

What customers say about "Display"

ASUS VG278Q Gaming Monitor

These TN panels don't have the greatest color or contrast, but they feature some of the fastest G2G response times available.
The quality for a TN panel was quite surprising as I expected the worst.
Love the colors. With a little adjustment to R/G/B I was able to get very bright and vibrant colors.
The colors are terrible! Even with tweaking the settings that are necessary to get a good picture.
Color is good but not vivid due to blue light filter.

ASUS VG275Q Gaming Monitor

The viewing angles are surprisingly better than expected and with better color representation than other TN panels I've used.
Out of the box the picture is very good.
White backgrounds really make the bad viewing angles stand out.
The TN display is what I expected: the viewing angles aren't the greatest, glare can be bad, and color accuracy isn't great but can be improved.
The colours are washed down, the blues and reds have no sharpness at all.

What customers say about "Features"

ASUS VG278Q Gaming Monitor

This monitor is advertised as Free sync/Adaptive sync, but apparently also is now magically G-Sync compatible as well.
Tilt and angle are also great. Screen can be raised pretty high with the base and the built in cable management slots are very nice.
I liked how smooth everything felt due to the gsync (which worked fine) and 144hz.
Sound is weak from the tiny speakers in back, and they are facing away from the user.
I do not like the menu navigation because of the buttons placement.

ASUS VG275Q Gaming Monitor

The joystick display toggle is a neat feature which makes navigating the display menu/settings simple.
The monitor has a sturdy, very adjustable stand.
It has full tilt(both directions) unlike most monitors only tilting one direction.
It has swivel pivot and multiple height adjustments. You can position this monitor in almost every conceivable position.
The monitor has a very nice premium look/design, with a thin bezel and an all matte black finish, not cheap looking shiny plastics.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

ASUS VG278Q Gaming Monitor

Easily connect with my Xbox One X with HDMI and works flawlessly.
I used the included displayport cable, and was able to set 144 Mhz with no issues.
At first I thought sound required a second cable to monitor, but it can play through displayport cable.
The screen came with cables and lot off connections ports, so that’s a great plus.
I connected an MSI GS63VR 7RF Stealth Pro gaming laptop with a GTX 1060 in it and it runs the monitor at 144Hz just fine at High/Ultra settings.

ASUS VG275Q Gaming Monitor

The dual HDMI inputs are perfect for multi-console or console/pc setups.
A very nice gaming monitor for a decent price. An affordable solution to those wanting a multi-display setup.
Lots of ports: 1 VGA, 2 HDMI, and 1 DisplayPort. It's amazing.
Dual HDMI is very useful. I plugged my Xbox into this monitor using the extra HDMI plugin and starting playing on that as well.
This is a fine device which makes short time of connecting my laptop to my Hi Res desktop monitor.
