Asus tuf gaming vg27aql1a: 27, 2k, hdr and 165 hz monitor

Again, the TUF Gaming range strikes back, but in the peripheral sector. We already talked about their new laptops, so it's time to analyze their new 27-inch monitor: the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A. We are sure that it will not leave anyone indifferent and that it will raise a battle between existing gaming monitors. We do a quick review below.

TUF GAMING VG27AQL1A: 1440p and 165 Hz

With those two specifications we open our mouth for what this monitor can offer. We are facing a peripheral focused on the gaming sector that consists of an IPS panel that provides a resolution of 2560 × 1440, a refresh rate of 165 Hz and a response time of 1ms.

It has G-SYNC technology support, so Nvidia users will be in luck. Say you have ELMB Sync technology to work alongside G-SYNC to deliver a tearing-free experience. This technology allows the use of Extreme Low Motion Blur, a TUF Gaming technology that is based on a strobe backlight.

As a result, we get vivid colors, high contrast, and a spectacular refresh rate for playing video games. All this, without forgetting its VESA DisplayHDR400, a technology that highlights shadows and offers bright details with good saturation.

On the other hand, we can control the entire screen with GameVisual, a software that has 6 predefined profiles to optimize our image, depending on whether we are playing games or using a program.

We would like to end by saying that it has Eye Care technology, which offers a flicker-free backlight and a low blue light that allows our eyes not to marry during our gaming experience.

Design and finish

This TUF GAMING VG27AQL1A meets the standards of the TUF range. It means that we see a design riddled with gray, futuristic, with many polygons, aggressive lines and a very soft touch. From ASUS, they tell us that they have been based on the previous VG27AQ, maintaining certain characteristics and improving others.

We have a design with really fine frames, almost priceless, except for the lower one, which is the one that bears the brand's name. We find the letters of "TUF GAMING" behind, at the top of the base. As for this, its supports have a " V " shape.

As for its connectors, we see 2x HDMI and 1x DisplayPort 1.2, along with a 3.5mm jack.

Launch and price

At the moment, we do not know relevant data about its launch or price. What we do know is that it will not be cheap because its predecessor can be found on the market for approximately € 565.
