Asus TUF Gaming VG279QM 280Hz Gaming Monitor Review

[Julio Franco]

We continue our look into the latest generation of high-refresh IPS gaming monitors with a review of the Asus TUF Gaming VG279QM. This affordable monitor can "overclock" from 240 Hz to 280 Hz and also features ELMB-Sync support, which allows you to use backlight strobing and adaptive sync at the same time.

May I suggest 18x18 tables (8 bpc) with the step (common difference) of 15 for response times and overshoot/undershoot instead of 11x11 with the step of 25/26?

I've had this monitor for 2 months, it's incredible. I love it.

I'd have never thought that we would need to go past 240hz
Just another way to jack up prices

1080p... while I own a 82 inch 8k TV...

1080p monitors are on their way out for good.

I own a 82 inch 8k TV...

Those exist already?

1080p monitors are on their way out for good.

I bought this monitor to replace a 144hz 1440p monitor. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I want 240+ frames with ultra low input lag and BFI to help give me a competitive edge in games like Cod Warzone. I run everything on low settings anyway.

Look at any CS pro, 90% of them run 240hz displays at 1024*768 with black bars just to get a competitive advantage. This monitor was made for them and its half the price of what 240hz monitors were a year ago.

To be fair, I also have a secondary 1440p 120 hz monitor I use for web browsing and a 4k Oled that I game on, its amazing for HDR games.

Can't wait to see the review for the Samsung 1440p 240Hz QLED:

Give that is a TN panel, I wonder how it would compete with these.

Looks great, I'd not personally buy 1080p today tho.

1440p for me. 2160p in a few years when GPU have catched up (needs 100 fps minimum).

Samsung seems to insist on VA panels, and VA sucks for fast paced gaming. Tried the CHG70 and it was horrible for shooters, so much blur and smearing it was not even funny. Regardless of settings. High refresh rate can't save VA from being a blurry mess.

Thats probably why they are cheap.

Did you get the 27 or 25? I don't know how 1080p looks on a 27 inch monitor.

Hello. As you can see I am from 2023. I bought this monitor few weeks ago. It is very very good screen. Feels perfect.

I wanted to talk about a service life of this product. We have officially 280hz option by ASUS. But we can notice that this feature is stand right under "overclocking" (in settings) that means it is not "standart"... So what do you think? Is it good to use this screen on 280hz +OD80 for all the time ? Or will be better to set 240hz + 60OD ?
Or ASUS just resolved this issue 100% without any doubt?

Mb someone here has it and able to give us an information of 2-year usage?

Regards

I recently bought this monitor as well and am loving it even though my unit was manufactured in early 2021, but so far ok.
