Product Information

Full details

The Asus TUF Gaming Monitor VG27VQM5F is an ideal choice for competitive gamers seeking a highly responsive, immersive display for fast-paced titles. Its primary strengths are the ultra-high 280 Hz refresh rate and 0.5 ms response time, which provide fluid, tear-free motion; however, users should note that the 27-inch screen is limited to a Full HD resolution, which may appear less sharp when viewing fine text or high-resolution media compared to 1440p monitors.

FAQs

Does this monitor support G-Sync?

While it is officially AMD FreeSync Premium certified, it is generally G-Sync Compatible, meaning you can enable VRR via the Nvidia Control Panel.

Can I mount this on a wall?

Yes, the monitor is VESA-compatible, allowing it to be attached to standard wall mounts or monitor arms.

Is 1080p good for a 27-inch screen?

At 27 inches, 1080p has a lower pixel density, which is perfectly fine for gaming, though it may look less sharp for productivity work involving small text.

What cables are included in the box?

The monitor typically comes with a DisplayPort and an HDMI cable, but check the specific regional packaging as it may vary.

Does this have a blue light filter?

Yes, it features integrated Low Blue Light technology that can be toggled via the monitor's menu settings to reduce eye strain.

Troubleshooting

Refresh rate not showing 280 Hz in settings

Ensure you are using the included DisplayPort cable and have enabled 'DisplayPort 1.4' in the monitor OSD settings.

Screen appears blurry or ghosting occurs

Enable ELMB-Sync or adjust the 'Overdrive' settings in the OSD menu to find the balance that best suits your frame rate.

No sound from built-in speakers

Check your Windows Sound settings to ensure the monitor is selected as the default playback device and the volume is not muted in the OSD.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely high 280 Hz refresh rate
  • Rapid 0.5 ms response time reduces blur
  • Comprehensive ergonomic stand adjustments
  • FreeSync Premium prevents screen tearing

Cons

  • Full HD resolution on a 27-inch screen may lack pixel density
  • VA panel viewing angles are narrower than IPS
  • Built-in speakers provide limited audio quality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the maximum 280 Hz refresh rate, you must use a high-quality DisplayPort cable connected to a compatible GPU. Ensure your monitor drivers are updated to the latest version from the official support site to enable full compatibility with FreeSync Premium. For the physical setup, the monitor base clicks into place easily, but you can also use the VESA mount pattern on the back to attach it to a monitor arm. To clean the screen, use only a soft, microfiber cloth. Never use alcohol-based cleaners or paper towels, as these can strip the anti-glare coating and scratch the delicate VA panel surface.
