Description
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQA1A is a 27-inch 170Hz QHD monitor for competitive gamers. Thanks to the QHD resolution, you can game with images almost twice as sharp as in Full HD and enjoy the extra details. The screen has a 170Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, so you game with smooth images. You can spot opponents faster, which gives you a great advantage during your online sessions. Playing with an AMD video card? FreeSync matches the refresh rate to the fps of your GPU, which prevents slowdowns and screen tearing. More of a console gamer? Connect a PlayStation 5 via HDMI 2.0 and enjoy 120Hz gaming in Full HD, or an Xbox Series X|S in QHD. In addition to fast actions, you also enjoy vibrant colors thanks to the HDR10 support. HDR also ensures a high brightness, so you can see the screen well in brightly lit rooms.
Note: you need a powerful video card for QHD gaming, like an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 series GPU, AMD Radeon RX 6000 series GPU, an Xbox One, or an Xbox series X|S.

Compared to other monitors, this one is one of the cheaper ones BUT one of the better ones! Dead pixel(s)? Report it and they will fix something for you (compensation or repair).
