ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQM5A 27" Black 2025
The 300Hz refresh rate and 0.3ms GTG response time—powered by a Fast IPS panel and ELMB Sync that stacks blur reduction with G-Sync Compatible variable refresh—eliminate tearing and ghosting entirely. A 95% DCI-P3 gamut delivers accurate color, and Shadow Boost brightens dark areas without overexposure, all configurable via the intuitive DisplayWidget Center. This monitor suits competitive esports players in titles like Valorant and CS2 who prioritize razor-sharp motion clarity over peak brightness.
