As a competitive FPS player, this is the best screen I've tested for this purpose. I recommend +++++
Performance, immersion and excitement. The ASUS TUF Gaming VG279QM monitor is ready to take your gaming to the next level and has been equipped with a formidable arsenal of technology to do so. Enjoy a 27" IPS panel in FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution to rediscover your favourite games and work your way to victory with an incredible 280Hz refresh rate, backed up by a response time down to 1ms! This monitor also has a secret weapon, ELMB-Sync, which enables both G-Sync compatibility and ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur) technology. This way, you no longer have to choose between perfect smoothness without tearing or reduced ghosting during fast action.
The VG279QM is the first gaming monitor to combine two technologies that are normally impossible to activate simultaneously: AdaptiveSync (FreeSync/G-Sync) and Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB).
Today, ASUS has managed to combine these two technologies and has equipped this monitor with them in the form of ELMB-Sync. Thanks to this major innovation, it is now possible to enjoy the best of both worlds (i.e. the benefits of G-Sync compatibility for better smoothness without tearing coupled with the reduction of ghosting and blurred areas during fast movements of ULMB) without being forced to do without one or the other!
All screens emit a varying amount of blue light, which can be harmful to the eyes if exposed for long periods of time. To effectively address this issue, ASUS Ultra Low Blue Light technology effectively reduces these emissions through 5 different selectable levels. Flicker is also combated by the Flicker-Free system so that you can play for longer periods of time under the best conditions.
With its ergonomic design, the VG279QM can be adjusted according to your preferences: the stand is adjustable over a 130 mm stroke, the tilt of the screen is adjustable over +33/-5 degrees and the whole unit can be rotated easily over 90 degrees on each side. In addition, the swivel function allows the panel to be switched from landscape to portrait format and vice versa with ease.

As a competitive FPS player, this is the best screen I've tested for this purpose. I recommend +++++
I have always wanted to get a 240hz or even higher hz screen. This one was perfect for my needs, 280hz, 27", g-sync, hdr400, elmb sync, ips ect... Although the hdr function is not at its best, the hdr 400 certification means that this screen has good brightness and is better on average than other comparable choices. The overclock from 240hz to 280hz works very well, nothing more to say. All this for a fair price of 350€ I can only recommend this one.
Received not even 1 month ago, 3 pixel dead, no support from Asus.
All 3 are for the fact that the screen is good, but as it is a whole...
I didn't put the max in because I couldn't activate the hdr, but that's not my reason for buying it either.
I bought a screen to replace my old asus ips which are not made for gaming as they are very slow.
I bought this model to play in gsync tri-screen at 280hz, and it fulfills its role perfectly.
When I move an application from one screen to the other, it's as fluid as in an oil bath, no slight jerkiness.
The reproach that I could make is the price a little higher than elsewhere and which does not include the transport costs, transport which is not up to the final price.
This screen seduced me by its sublime refresh rate. Of course, it's still 1080p but it's enough! In addition, for more varied uses such as multimedia, its faithful colours are its strength. I appreciate the fact that it is adjustable in height, which is very practical for me. The various inputs make this monitor the no-compromise monitor.
Despite its expensive price, this screen is worth it, IPS panel with adjustable characteristics, its tuff options for the game (viewfinder added on the screen, zoom of the viewfinder, timer at disposal and all that in game!) its screen 280HZ OC is just a marvel because it is endowed with the technology G-Sync and EMB gives a rendering ULTRA fluid to the game and it is a pure happiness. The screen is also very classy and not too imposing. I'll have to see if all this holds up in the future, but for now I have no regrets about my purchase! If you have the means just go for it!
