About this deal

Spectral distribution graph showing calibrated Racing mode at 6500k (top) and Blue Light Filter Level 1 mode (bottom) The Asus’ default brightness level of 277 nits is fine, but not outstanding, and the screen’s peak brightness level of 354 nits is better – but nothing particularly special. Graphics card settings were left at default with no ICC profile or calibration active. Tests were made using an X-rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter. It should be noted that we used the BasICColor calibration software here to record these measurements, and so luminance at default settings may vary a little from the LaCie Blue Eye Pro report you will see in other sections of the review. obnovovací frekvence 165 Hz*, kterou disponuje TUF Gaming VG27AQZ, dokonale eliminuje zpoždění a rozmazání pohybu a dodá vám náskok v FPS střílečkách, závodech, strategiích v reálném čase a sportovních titulech. Tato ultrarychlá obnovovací frekvence umožňuje hrát při nejvyšším vizuálním nastavení a umožňuje okamžitou reakci na to, co je právě na obrazovce - takže vždy získáte výhodu nad svými soupeři. There are some other areas where the VG27AQ’s specification falls behind. It supports HDR 10 content, for instance, but this IPS screen isn’t going to have the brightness to make the most of HDR.

Features an ergonomically designed stand to offer extensive swivel, tilt and height pivot adjustments Zvyšuje sytost barev a kontrastní ostrost, aby vám poskytly lepší, jasnější barvy a detailní vizuální efekty pro strategie v reálném čase (RTS) nebo RPG hry. That said, the Asus is cheaper than most equivalent screens, and it delivers impeccably smooth, crisp gaming alongside great colours. If you need this level of speed and have a powerful enough graphics card, the VG27AQ is a great choice for competitive and fast-paced gaming. Verdict Elsewhere, though, the VG27AQ suffers in predictable areas. The Asus uses its Racing mode by default, but the other display modes are worse and so not worth using. The FPS, RTS and RPG options are very bright, but with poorer Delta E figures and warmer colour temperature results – so images look a little too red and oversaturated. inch WQHD (2560x1440) IPS gaming monitor with ultrafast 165*Hz refresh rate designed for professional gamers and immersive gameplay

Strong overall gaming experience with adaptive-sync, high refresh rate support and good response times

Enhances color saturation and contrast sharpness to give you better, brighter colors and detailed visuals for real-time strategy (RTS) or RPG games. Elsewhere, this fast, smooth screen has a versatile size and resolution, and great colour quality. Its contrast is more middling, but it’s still good enough for gaming in that regard. I think current vrr implementations are poisoning the well. I hope the chief can actually show them how it's done. seems to me like it's done for marketing purposes. ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur provides a 1ms response time (MPRT) to eliminate smearing and motion blur. It also makes moving objects appear even sharper, so gameplay is more fluid and responsive. An important thing to consider for most users is how a screen will perform out of the box and with some basic manual adjustments. Since most users won’t have access to hardware colorimeter tools, it is important to understand how the screen is going to perform in terms of colour accuracy for the average user.

Colour accuracy of the resulting profile was excellent, with dE average of 0.3 and maximum of 1.5. LaCie would consider colour fidelity to be very good overall. Testing the screen with various colour gradients showed mostly smooth transitions with some minor gradation in darker tones, and some very minor banding in the darker shades due to the adjustment of the gamma curve. You can use our settings and try our calibrated ICC profile if you wish, which are available in our ICC profile database. Keep in mind that results will vary from one screen to another and from one computer / graphics card to another. Activating ELMB works well, with butter-smooth gaming throughout and no sign of any ghosting or tearing – and the screen looked incredibly sharp. It’s worth using this feature for fast-paced, competitive games, and it does add some extra versatility to this screen, but be aware that this new technology only has a minimal impact when considered alongside the rest of this display’s features. We then took some measurements at 100Hz. You can see the same slow response times with TF = 0 mode (overdrive turned off) at 12ms G2G. At the next step up of TF = 20 the response times were improved a lot to 7.1ms, and thankfully unlike at 60Hz the overshoot was not nearly as bad. There was a bit there, but it was much harder to see in practice and not very obtrusive. Pushing up to TF = 40 made very little difference to either the response times or overshoot but was the optimal balance we felt at this refresh rate. Above TF = 40 the overshoot started to become a bit too noticeable, even more so by the time you reached TF = 80 where it was too severe. You get lots of pale halos and artefacts on moving content at those higher TF settings. We haven’t bothered to measure TF = 100 here as overshoot was already too bad at 80. 144Hz Measurements

inch QHD (2560x1440) IPS gaming monitor with ultrafast 165Hz refresh rate designed for professional gamers and immersive gameplay Class 2) A lag of 8.33 – 16.66ms – the equivalent of one to two frames at a 120Hz refresh rate – moderate lag but should be fine for many gamers. Caution advised for serious gaming Class 3) A lag of more than 16.66ms – the equivalent of more than 2 frames at a refresh rate of 120Hz – Some noticeable lag in daily usage, not suitable for high end gaming Luminance uniformity of the screen was good overall, with the top right hand corner showing the only significant deviance on our sample. In that corner the luminance dropped down to 102 cd/m 2 in the most extreme example (-18%). Overall, 80% of the screen remained within a 10% deviance threshold of our centrally calibrated point which was good. If you are investing in a gaming screen like this with a high refresh rate and added ELMB-sync feature, you are going to want to ensure your system and graphics card can deliver in that upper 100 – 165Hz range really anyway to get the most out of the screen in terms of frame rate, motion clarity and also response times.

The comparisons made in this section try to give you a better view of how each screen performs, particularly out of the box which is what is going to matter to most consumers. We have divided the table up by panel technology as well to make it easier to compare similar models. When comparing the default factory settings for each monitor it is important to take into account several measurement areas – gamma, white point and colour accuracy. There’s no point having a low dE colour accuracy figure if the gamma curve is way off for instance. A good factory calibration requires all 3 to be well set up. We have deliberately not included luminance in this comparison since this is normally far too high by default on every screen. However, that is very easily controlled through the brightness setting (on most screens) and should not impact the other areas being measured anyway. It is easy enough to obtain a suitable luminance for your working conditions and individual preferences, but a reliable factory setup in gamma, white point and colour accuracy is important and some (gamma especially) are not as easy to change accurately without a calibration tool. Kompatibilní technologie G-SYNC přináší nejplynulejší, nejrychlejší a nejúžasnější herní vizuální prvky tím, že eliminuje trhání obrazovky a frekvence snímků a minimalizuje přerušování a vstupní zpoždění. Contrast ratio (static)– we aim for as high as possible. Any dynamic contrast ratio controls are turned off here if present This screen certainly isn’t perfect. It has good build quality and adjustment, but its feature set elsewhere is scant – the speakers are poor, there are no USB ports and no lighting alongside a middling OSD. Its contrast levels aren’t high enough for HDR, and it doesn’t have the gamut ability for HDR or the quality for work alongside gaming. Luminance– we aim for 120 cd/m 2, which is the recommended luminance for LCD monitors in normal lighting conditions

The light AG coating of the IPS technology panel is certainly welcome, and much better than the older grainy and ‘dirty’ appearance of older IPS AG coatings. Although it’s been several years since those more grainy coatings were used. The wide viewing angles provided by this panel technology on both horizontal and vertical planes, helps minimize on-screen colour shift when viewed from different angles. Those colour temperature, accuracy and gamma levels were maintained with the screen at maximum brightness and with the panel at half its original brightness levels, so you’re going to get consistent colours no matter how bright the panel is. We use an ETC M526 oscilloscope for these measurements along with a custom photosensor device. Have a read of our response time measurement article for a full explanation of the testing methodology and reported data. Enhances the color of your opponents' health/mana bars, so that you can simultaneously respond and be the first to destroy the opposing team's main. The 165Hz refresh rate and 1440p resolution are the Asus’ key gaming attributes, and elsewhere the VG27AQ delivers solid hardware. It uses IPS technology, and it only uses 8-bit colour – fine for gaming, but not quite good enough for work. The 1ms response time is good, too, and easily fast enough for competitive play.

The Asus delivers great colour quality. The panel’s factory Delta E measurement of 1.36 is superb, and it means no colour deviations that human eyes can detect. dE average / maximum– we aim for as low as possible. If DeltaE >3, the color displayed is significantly different from the theoretical one, meaning that the difference will be perceptible to the viewer. If DeltaE <2, LaCie considers the calibration a success; there remains a slight difference, but it is barely undetectable. If DeltaE < 1, the color fidelity is excellent. Unusually there are no USB ports on this screen, something quite rare from any monitor nowadays and missed a bit for these kind of general uses. There are also no other extras like ambient light sensors or card readers on this screen either. There is a decent enough range of ergonomic adjustments from the stand which are all pretty easy to adjust and move. There is also VESA 100mm mounting capabilities for those who want to arm or wall mount the screen instead. The 2,560 x 1,440 resolution is good. It’s high enough to deliver loads of real estate for gaming, and the 27in diagonal delivers a crisp density level of 109ppi. That’s solid – far better than the 82ppi on 27in screens with 1080p resolutions. This screen features a 2560 x 1440 WQHD resolution, a significant step up from the wide range of 1920 x 1080 screens on the market and a comfortable resolution for this size screen we feel. These higher resolution 27″ models offer a tighter pixel pitch of 0.233mm which results in a smaller text size than common 24″ 1080p screens, although it is still a nice and comfortable size. We are very used to working with 27″ 1440p screens all the time and find them very comfortable and a significant upgrade over 1080 / 1200p models.Some users may find the small text a little too small to read comfortably, and we’d advise caution if you are coming from a smaller screen for instance where the pixel pitch and text are normally larger. The extra screen size takes some getting used to over a few days as there really is a lot of room to work with but once you do, it’s excellent. For those wanting a high resolution for CAD, design, photo work etc, this is a really good option. The image was very sharp and crisp and text was very clear. With its WQHD display, you enjoy 77% more desktop space than a full HD screen to spread out your windows and palettes.
