Overview

Reach for the stars with ASUS

With its superior visual quality and top-notch gaming performance, the ASUS TUF VG27AQL1A monitor is the perfect match for your expectations. Enjoy a 27-inch WQHD IPS panel with HDR400 certification, and experience a comfortable gaming experience with ELMB Sync, a 170Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. In addition, this model offers full connectivity, an ergonomic stand and optimal eye comfort to achieve your goals!

Superior viewing experience

The VG27AQL1A's 27-inch IPS panel with WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution delivers natural and realistic images. This model has an extended colour coverage with 130% of the sRGB range and 95% DCI-P3.

For even more spectacular rendering of compatible content, this monitor is VESA DisplayHDR400certified for more vibrant colours and better brightness. What's more, several HDR modes are available depending on your current usage (movies, games...).

Get ready to win!

The VG27AQL1A offers the combination of Adaptive-Sync and Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) technologies in the form of ELMB-Sync. The result is a smoother picture without tearing, as well as reduced ghosting and blurred areas during fast motion. This monitor is also G-Sync compatible. In addition, you can play in the best conditions with an ultra-fast response time of 1 ms (MPRT) and a refresh rate of up to 170 Hz (via OC).

This model also features ASUS GamePlus with its Viewfinder, Sniper, Timer, IPS Counter and Display Alignment functions. In addition, Shadow Boost technology brings out darker scenes without overexposing brighter elements, giving you an edge in dark environments.

Everyday comfort

All screens emit varying amounts of blue light, which can be harmful to the eyes if exposed for long periods. 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 VG27AQL1A can be adjusted according to your preferences: the stand can be adjusted over a 130 mm stroke, the tilt of the screen over +20/-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.

    Overall satisfied

    Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. A little bit of IPS Glow but it's still acceptable, it's mostly visible on loading screens or other. In games, the first few hours, I notice it in the lower right and left corners, I don't even notice it anymore. I seem to have fallen quite well.
    The colours are good, it's not surprising when you go from an old screen to a new one, but the contrast is limited, dark scenes are... very dark, but that's the fault of IPS panels.

    Nice picture and nice screen but not always practical.

    No problems with the picture.
    The contrast is a bit strange at times but a refresh from the pc fixes the problem. Maybe it's the PC.
    The backwards adjustments are not practical when you have 2 screens.

    Superb screen

    Good design, good images. Good QHD screen for video games, very smooth. Also great for high resolution photos and movies and still great for working on editing software (videos/photos). Etc........

    Attention

    Response time mprt 1ms.
    Response time gtg 4.5 ms...

    So if you get this monitor you are going to buy a 4.5ms screen and not a 1ms screen don't be fooled.

    Pixelminator

    I wish I could have given a better rating to this screen that I had bought with LDLC's 0 dead pixel guarantee. Unfortunately, after multiple tests and returns, it was impossible for me to get a flawless copy: each of them contained one or more, sometimes even many dead pixels, not to mention the important light leaks on each corner.

    I could briefly try this screen in game and it seemed to me absolutely great from this point of view, the colours, the fluidity brought by the official G-sync compatibility and even the not at all bad contrast are big assets that can't be taken away from it, but its manufacturing defects and the obviously catastrophic quality control of Asus come to spoil everything.
    I can't recommend this screen despite my very good experiences with Asus in the past, this time it's a no go.

    Fortunately, LDLC's 0 dead pixel guarantee and the professionalism of their after-sales service allows me to choose another screen as a replacement, if however you order this one, I highly recommend this additional guarantee to avoid bad surprises but be prepared to potentially send your screen back several times...

    Perfect

    Simply perfect!
    No IPS glow even in the dark, no dead pixels after 2 months of use, this evolution of the VG27AQ is a real satisfaction.
    I'm coming from TN panels, I was bluffed by the fidelity of the colours, I highly recommend it.
    The screen is quite nice, modern and efficient, the stand is stable and can be mounted very easily without screws or screwdrivers.
    Although the instructions indicate a maximum resolution in WQHD, I see that it is possible under Windows and in games to go up to 4K, not yet tried though.

    A compromise between fluidity and quality

    I've been using this screen for two months with an RTX 2070S and I'm very happy with the results! QHD is a big improvement over full HD and still very smooth on all the games I've tested. Racing games at 100+ FPS in QHD in particular are very nice!
    The image quality is also top notch with a well distributed backlight, HDR that gives a real life to the images and very well rendered colours.
    A bit expensive, but worth its weight in peanuts!

    Almost perfect

    I had been looking to replace my old 27" 1080p 60Hz screen for a while and the choice was tough.
    I had seen the previous version but too much bad feedback on the panel so I preferred to wait.
    After receiving this new version, the design is really top notch, it changes the square foot of the first version.
    I have a very small light leakage in the corners but it's hardly noticeable even in a dark room. The colours are really intense but it lacks a bit of brightness (hence the half star).
    No dead pixels when I unpacked it, to be seen in the weeks to come (I took the 0 pixel guarantee which I recommend)
    G-Sync recognized without any worries and activated together with ELMB + OC at 170Hz.
    OS very intuitive and easy to configure.
    The 1440p is a very good alternative to 4K for gaming knowing that 4K is still too greedy on most games.
    Coupled with an i9 9900k and an RTX 2080ti and it's the best.
