ASUS TUF Gaming 27" Full HD Monitor with 200Hz Fast IPS and ELMB SYNC

Fast IPS panel built for competitive gaming:

The VG279Q5A uses ASUS Fast IPS technology to deliver a 0.3ms minimum GTG response time alongside a 200Hz refresh rate on a 27-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) screen. The anti-glare surface and 99% sRGB colour coverage mean games look accurate and clear without reflections getting in the way.

ELMB SYNC eliminates both ghosting and tearing together:

ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) is one of the standout features of this monitor — it runs ELMB backlight strobing and variable refresh rate simultaneously, something not possible on all monitors. Combined with AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certification, the VG279Q5A keeps fast-moving scenes sharp and tear-free across a wide range of frame rates.

TUF Gaming A.I. tools sharpen your competitive edge:

GameFast Input technology reduces input lag, while TUF Gaming A.I. features — including Dynamic Crosshair and AI Visual — adjust your on-screen display in real time to suit game conditions. Shadow Boost lifts dark areas in scenes without overexposing the bright parts, helping you spot detail in shadowed environments.

Practical connectivity and eye-care certifications:

Two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 give you plenty of connection options, and the 3.5mm earphone jack adds a direct audio output. Built-in 2W stereo speakers handle desktop audio without needing external equipment. The monitor carries TÜV Rheinland Flicker-free and TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certifications, and Trace Free Technology lets you adjust overdrive to suit your preferred balance of sharpness and trail reduction.

DisplayWidget Center and ASUS Power Sync simplify daily use:

DisplayWidget Center lets you adjust OSD settings using your mouse rather than navigating physical buttons. ASUS Power Sync links the monitor's power state to your connected PC, so the screen powers on and off automatically with the system. GameVisual offers six preset colour modes and four colour temperature settings to match the content you are viewing.

Setup and Care

Getting started:

Attach the stand using the included L-shaped screwdriver and connect your PC via the included DisplayPort cable or one of the two HDMI 2.0 ports. DisplayWidget Center software can be installed to manage all OSD settings from your desktop without touching the monitor buttons.

Optimising display settings:

Use GameVisual to select the colour preset mode that best suits your content — Racing Mode and FPS Mode are tuned for fast games, while Scenery Mode suits movies and general desktop work. Adjust Trace Free overdrive in small steps to find the balance between response sharpness and trailing artefact reduction that suits your system's frame rate.

Wall mounting:

The VG279Q5A is compatible with any VESA 100 x 100mm wall mount bracket, sold separately. Remove the stand before mounting — the monitor body weighs 3.7 kg without the stand attached.

Care and cleaning:

Wipe the screen with a dry or lightly dampened microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths, spraying liquid directly onto the screen surface, or using solvent-based cleaning products, which can damage the anti-glare coating.
