About this product
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27UQ1A is a 27-inch 4K UHD monitor with a 160Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, designed for competitive gaming. It features Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) technology to reduce blur. With 16.7 million colors and a 300 cd/m2 brightness, it delivers decent visuals. Part of the TUF series, it's built for durability and performance at an affordable price point for high-refresh 4K gaming.
Our take
This TUF Gaming monitor packs a 160Hz 4K punch that feels responsive in multiplayer. The 1ms response time is legit—no noticeable ghosting. ELMB sync works well to reduce motion blur, though it dims the screen a bit. I wish the brightness were higher than 300 cd/m2; it's fine indoors but not great for bright rooms. Colors are okay with 16.7 million, but if you're after HDR pop, this isn't it. For $304.99, you get solid 4K gaming without frills—a no-nonsense choice for competitive players.
