Consumption
With the TUF VG27AQ, Asus simply offers one of the best 27-inch Quad HD screens for video games. It has all the best available today in terms of display technology, with a very responsive IPS panel supporting a very high frequency compatible with both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync. The icing on the cake is that these technologies can be combined with the ELMB. In the end, this screen is probably the best for playing, regardless of the type of game.
Strong points
- Reactivity.
- ELMB (black image insertion) works with FreeSync and G-Sync.
- Image well calibrated by default.
- Good contrast for an IPS panel.
- Neat ergonomics.
- HDR compatibility.
Weak points
- No USB hub.
- No gamma adjustment (which is however very good by default).
Alternatively
The Philips Momentum 5500 27-inch is a very good monitor for gamers, and then some. Its Quad HD IPS panel is very responsive and FreeSync support up to 170 Hz ensures great fluidity in games. In addition, it is perfectly calibrated right out of the box and is therefore suitable even for those who need precise rendering. The stand also pleasantly surprised us with its numerous adjustments, impressive in such a compact format – a novelty rare enough in the monitor segment to be underlined. Only its low contrast and high consumption prevent it from becoming one of the best monitors in our comparison.
