About this deal

G-SYNC Compatible, delivering a seamless, tear-free gaming experience by enabling VRR (variable refresh rate) by default. TUF Gaming VG27AQ 165Hz* refresh rate decimates lag and motion blur to give you the upper hand in first person shooters, racers, real-time strategy, and sports titles. This ultrafast refresh rate lets you play at the highest visual settings and lets you react instantly to what's onscreen — so you'll get that first strike in.

With adaptive-sync turned on, you could actually use the ELMB feature at 60Hz as well, although we wouldn’t advise it really. We had this working on an AMD FreeSync system (Radeon RTX590) without issue, but oddly it didn’t seem to work from an NVIDIA G-sync system (GeForce GTX1080). Results may vary. Note: there is a different vertical scale used on the graph below, but the strobes are actually the same height.Luminance– we aim for 120 cd/m 2, which is the recommended luminance for LCD monitors in normal lighting conditions Class 3) A lag of more than 16.66ms – the equivalent of more than 2 frames at a refresh rate of 120Hz – Some noticeable lag in daily usage, not suitable for high end gaming Elsewhere, though, the VG27AQ suffers in predictable areas. The Asus uses its Racing mode by default, but the other display modes are worse and so not worth using. The FPS, RTS and RPG options are very bright, but with poorer Delta E figures and warmer colour temperature results – so images look a little too red and oversaturated. Enhances the colour of your opponents' health/mana bars, so that you can simultaneously respond and be the first to destroy the opposing team's main. This screen certainly isn’t perfect. It has good build quality and adjustment, but its feature set elsewhere is scant – the speakers are poor, there are no USB ports and no lighting alongside a middling OSD. Its contrast levels aren’t high enough for HDR, and it doesn’t have the gamut ability for HDR or the quality for work alongside gaming.

Good IPS contrast ratio which should still be fine for most content and offering good shadow detail. Buying an alternative VA technology panel would provide you a higher contrast ratio if you watch a lot of dark content and miss some shadow detail Preset Modes –There are a few different preset modes aimed at gaming that can be customised and used if you want. This includes modes for FPS and RTS for instance, and 3 user modes you can save how you want. Strong overall gaming experience with adaptive-sync, high refresh rate support and good response times The speakers aren’t much cop, either: the pair of 2W speakers are tinny and a little too quiet, and are only good enough for basic media duties – not for gaming.

If you are going to use VRR you need to consider what your common refresh rate performance is going to be from your graphics card and system. If you can consistently deliver in the upper range around 130 – 165Hz we would go with TF = 60 or 80 for optimal performance. Maybe drop this to 60 if you’re more commonly going a bit lower down to the 110 – 130Hz range. If you’re down nearer 80 – 110Hz we would probably drop TF down to 40 even. Anything below 80Hz you’re probably going to want to go with TF = 20 but it’s not great performance at that lower refresh rate end. You may instead want to consider a different screen, or if you want this model in particular for it’s features/price then maybe consider investing in a newer graphics card, or turn down your in games settings to achieve a higher refresh rate. Enhances color saturation and contrast sharpness to give you better, brighter colors and detailed visuals for real-time strategy (RTS) or RPG games. Elsewhere, this fast, smooth screen has a versatile size and resolution, and great colour quality. Its contrast is more middling, but it’s still good enough for gaming in that regard.

The weight of 5.8kg isn’t bad at all for a 27in screen, and the base is flat and unfussy, so it’s easy to move around a desk and to use for storage. Contrast ratio (static)– we aim for as high as possible. Any dynamic contrast ratio controls are turned off here if presentThe VG27AQ marks a successful monitor debut for the TUF brand. The Asus succeeds in several key areas: its high refresh rate and the addition of ELMB-Sync means that this panel has crisp, smooth gaming at high speeds – so it’s well-suited for FPS and competitive play. The standard Asus on-screen display is deployed here. It’s not the largest or the best-looking software system, but it’s well-organised. The first menu allows for switching between the key gaming screen modes, and the rest of the options are slotted into conventional menus.

The screens tested are split into two measurements which are based on our overall display lag tests and half the average G2G response time, as measured by our oscilloscope. The response time element, part of the lag you can see, is split from the overall display lag and shown on the graph as the green bar. From there, the signal processing (red bar) can be provided as a good estimation of the lag you would feel from the display. We also classify each display as follows: Certified as G-SYNC Compatible, delivering a seamless, tear-free gaming experience by enabling VRR (variable refresh rate) by default. dE average / maximum– we aim for as low as possible. If DeltaE >3, the color displayed is significantly different from the theoretical one, meaning that the difference will be perceptible to the viewer. If DeltaE <2, LaCie considers the calibration a success; there remains a slight difference, but it is barely undetectable. If DeltaE < 1, the color fidelity is excellent.Compatible with industry-standard HDR10 high dynamic range for color and brightness levels that exceed the capabilities of ordinary monitors proizvoda: 63172 Dodato u listu želja Dodaj u listu želja Dodaj u listu želja Dodato u listu želja Izbaci iz upoređivanja Uporedi Dodaj za poređenje Dodato za poređenje Zvyšuje barvu health/mana úrovní soupeřů, takže můžete současně reagovat a být první, kdo zničí hlavní nepřátelský tým.
