27-inch 146Hz IPS gaming monitor

The ASUS VG279QE5A is a 27-inch Full HD display built for competitive gaming. Its IPS panel delivers 178-degree viewing angles and covers 125 percent sRGB with 90 percent DCI-P3 colour volume. A 146Hz overclocked refresh rate and 1ms response time reduce motion blur in fast-paced titles.

DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 connectivity

The monitor provides one DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 2.0 input for PC or console sources. Adaptive Sync support keeps frame delivery smooth without tearing. A tilt-adjustable stand and 100 x 100mm VESA mount let you position the screen or attach an arm. Two 2-watt speakers handle basic audio without external hardware.

HDR Ready with 300 cd/m2 brightness

HDR Ready certification means the panel can accept high dynamic range signals at its native 300 cd/m2 peak brightness. The 1,500:1 static contrast ratio maintains depth during extended sessions. ELMB Sync combines backlight strobing with variable refresh to preserve clarity under sustained load. Power draw stays at 16.7 watts typical, dropping below 0.5 watts in standby.
