"well I've been to microcenter again..." Is now my favorite opening line.
I’m definitely greeting my wife tonight with “well I’ve been to micro center again…”
Sometimes I like to go in and pretend I won't buy anything.
Just FYI, several brands have backlight strobing modes. Each company has its own name for it (VRB for Acer, Aim Stablizer for Gigabyte, DyAC for BenQ, ULMB for Dell/Alienware), but they all work the same way, by strobing the backlight with every refresh. Not all are created equal, though. Depending on the backlight type, you can get red fringing on some colors, and monitors don't refresh the whole screen all at once so they need to be tuned well in order to ensure the backlight flickers exactly once per refresh and no information from past refreshes are still present (which means they also need good response times), otherwise you can get double or even triple images.
Do you think the elmb mode is good for this monitor when jt comes to a fps like fortnite?
@@explixt245Fortnite is not a fps shooter but it should be
This monitor color range is amazing. I have it and love it!
Good Advice. Might get one myself now
@@zarozabuips panel so no ghosting
There is a Display Widget Lite that you can install to control your monitors settings from the desktop pretty handy just so you all know. Also for the Strix version there is AURA Lite for lighting control.
Dude you helped me a lot, I was always reaching out to the buttons and tbh I don't like their feel. Thanks mate
I have the same exact expression after going to Microcenter. Never walk out of there without spending $200+
I miss living near one. There's nothing like it in NC.
I just bought this for my second monitor at best buy. We’ll gonna use it as my main and my 75hz to watch videos why I play hope it a good one. My whole build is asus tuff gaming
That was an amazingly informative video without being overly long, that gets a sub outta me
This video was the reason I chose this monitor and I cannot thank you enough. I was only after a bit of an upgrade from a 1080p 60hz one but I got way more than I expected. The HDR is fantastic, for the price that is, I also didn’t know how much of an impact it would have on my images, I feel like I’m seeing games, films and tv shows the way the way they intended. And the peak brightness is closer to 500 nits, by my very scientific way of comparing it to that of and iPad Air 2 (410 nits) and an iPhone 8 (530 nits). Thank you again for helping me in this decision.
@8:20 For me, I realized that I can actually see frames as I move my eyes around with it on (probably something about my vision not disabling during saccades) and that becomes annoying. So I have to keep that blur you get with it off.
I can also see things like PWM flicker on LED tail lights on cars.
You're the next level of human.
I hate those tail lights.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very informative.
Great job going over everything. Thank you!
I'm in Sweden and got this same panel in the Acer Nitro VG272UV in a ridiculous deal for the equivalent of $370 USD, a 30% DISCOUNT!!!
The ASUS VG27AQL1A is currently $500 USD.
These prices may sound insane to an American, but in Sweden with our crazy taxes, you cannot find better value.
Thanks for the review I bought this monitor and look forward to using it
I plan to buy it. So how is it going so far ?
@GrandFred I really enjoy the monitor the picture is great crisp snd clear I recommend this monitor
it's a really good monitor for the money tbh, i checked it's review months ago on Rtings and they basically had the same conclusion especially with the pre calibration results. still a solid monitor tho i really like it
I own one of these and love it. I'm comming up from a pro art 1080p 60hz display. But even considering the others near this in price and performance. I think this is a solid option for any gamer not looking to spend $1000+ on a screen.
I honestly think my next upgrade will have to be an 4k oled with 144hz+. And I want it for less then $700. Until then, I'm just gonna run 2 of these
How do you calibrate the colors accurate ? And how do I do it?
@@the_primetime2187 sorry for slow reply. I just picked the color settings recommended online. And I also just set a profile I liked and saved it. Plenty of sources online can give you a preset close enough to its highest accuracy. But other then that, you'd need to invest in some hardware.
Is proart colors not that far compared to this monitor? I am planning to get new monitor and torn between proart and this tuf monitor
the bass response of the table though
Every Asus display I've tried in the past year (at least 4, of varying models) have had multiple stuck pixels. Did you check this display for any? If you have none, consider yourself lucky because that, in my experience, would be the exception.
I have the 32 inch version of this monitor and love it.
Just ordered one of these. Glad I picked a decent monitor.
Thanks for the review, just picked this up this Morning for a ridiculous price of 255$ (380 msrp). Newegg had it on sale for 289.99, and then I had a coupon for 15% off that which resulted in 246$. With Tax and California's 5$ Environmental Fee, it was 274$. However, there was a 20$ rebate fee which landed the price at 254$! Man I cannot wait to use this monitor
Where'd you get the Newegg 15% coupon?
Hi, do they (newegg) have an option of checking bad pixels before shipping?
Just got this thing on a 200 bucks off sale via an SI puter package and was wondering if I chose right. Watching this, highly surprised I got an impulse buy correct. Thanks for all you do!
Hello sir, Your title says the monitor is VG27AQL1A but at 6:24 your monitor settings menu shows VG27A1A? is it just a menu bug or is it a different monitor
I have this monitor and agree, the motion sickness is true
Just noticed you are showing amazon web page with specs for VG27AQ1A instead of VG27AQL1A
@LeveL1Techs ? Answer plz...
@0:07 Helpful advice for when inside a Micro Center 😅😂🤣
I was considering it's L1A-less older brother last year, as well as waiting for the L1A to arrive in Russia; went with GL850 in the end.
I remember the original has some strobing issues, curious to watch this video!
The gl850 is a good monitor man
I loved your review dude😹 Do you think this os worth getting instead of the LG GP850? The contrast on that thing sucks from what I hear and Im coming from a G27QC(VA panel).
excellent review one of the best.
I bought the new 260hz one
I wonder if it is possible to fix the color temperature on your monitor is high at 7115k
How you like the 260hz one ? I have the 280z 1080p but thinking of upgrading my monitors to 1440p
@Thebarrioboy2009gma My 260hz monitor from Asus
it's IPS HDR 1000 and sRGB mode calibrated
27 inch 260hz 2k resolution
it's perfect, to be honest especially mine comes with built-in speakers
However, you need DP for a full 260hz, hdmi 2.0 I think 180hz not sure I haven't tested it.
240hz is native and 260hz is overclocked mode I recommend keeping it at 240hz
This is just making it to youtube now? Great monitor, I have two of them. Only thing that would be beneficial to me right now is a built in KVM.
@Level1Techs you guys posted an interview video the other day when RUclips was freaking out and losing creators new stuff. That video hasn't been reposted. Is this intentional?
I was looking forward to watching that.
nice coincidence. I was doing the same thing with the Acer version of the same type of thing (4K 27in ) thing. why is it so hard to decode these products!!! Thanks for the review
Can I run my PS5 here?
How is the oversaturation on this monitor? I have the p329q and I'm thinking of returning it and going down in screen size and price for something like this as I can't justify the prize of the one I have now if I'm not satisfied overall.
I think I wasted so much time with my ELMB monitor because it made me feel so sick that I always needed to sleep for hours to recover.
For productivity and streaming videos services in home office multi monitor setup.. (sheesh, this guy and his long intros; LOL) Would you recommend this monitor or the Pro Art 27" 2K monitor? TIA
I am watching this video on an ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A Monitor
ما رايك بها
I think I have the curved version of this. I have 2 of them, and it's hard to get their colors to match. There's a stark difference in how images look between them. Could one of them be faulty? I hope not.
Also, vignette is pronounced "vin-yet". Just wanted to make sure nobody makes fun of you for saying it wrong.
How come all the tests are at 144hz and not the 170hz setting?
Because these monitors aren't capable of 170hz without severe screen flicker. I even notice slight flickering on 155hz (overclocked 10 hz).
They are false advertising anywhere near 170hz, these monitors are only really made for 144hz based on my use of them and what I've experienced along the way.
torn between this and the LG 27GP850-B. However, I am leaning towards the Asus because I also use the monitor for media consumption and the LG has a terrible contrast ratio from what I read
exactly same situation here, ended up canceling my Order on LG and ordering this one , will arrive in two days hope it be as good as he said ^^
@@mohammad-zabih so how is experience
@@Name-tn3md nothing but amazing I'm super happy with my choice even tho I haven't tested the LG but according to reviews the Asus has better quality overall and that's enough for me to know Asus has the upper hand here , colors are awesome and refreshrate for what I play is more than enough
@@mohammad-zabihthanks for that answer. Found your comment when researching on just that :) Going to order the Asus this Thursday on my birthday 🎉
@@janne303hey hey hey ! happy birthday to you mate ^^ huh hope you enjoy the panel as much as i do :) you wont regret it trust me :) been my daily panel ever since and never an issue with it hope goes the same for you too HBD again
every time he hit the corner of the monitor on the desk when rotating it, i had to look away for awhile. tilting the monitor back BEFORE rotating it fixes that. i know, i'm OCD. i wish i could help it at all.
How exactly did you tune it? Out of the box colours are really bad as you said. Can you share your settings?
Hello, I have the MSI Optix MAG274QRF QD.. monitor. it's nice.. But, I'm looking for a monitor that has built in speakers, and so how are the built in speakers. The monitor I got doesn't have built in speakers. I don't want to keep wearing headphones everyday. Hurts the ears. So, I'm on a mission to find a good monitor that has speakers.
Oh hey, my monitor!
This asus or samsung g5 g50a?
El HDR es nativo (hardware) en display port 1.2? Tengo entendido que no es compatible con HDR hasta el 1.4, el HDMI 2.0 si lo es, al menos en su versión 2.0a y 2.0b
Any word on the big brother, the VG32AQL1A? I can't seem to find any reviews or anything on that one...
Wich one is it VG27AQL1A like you write in your title or is it VG27AQ1A like you show on the box in your video?
@6:25 in settings, how are u able to see all those settings? For me, they are greyed out
Any IPS glow? I bought a BenQ monitor the IPS glow was such an issue I had to send it back.
I didn’t get a usb 3 cable. Is that important for the monitor to function?
Is the newer VG27AQL3A model much the same?
so, when do we get to see a windel onbox crossover event.
Would you suggest this for competition shooters ? I’m coming from 240hz 1080p TN
Yes, it probably has a faster response rate. I have this monitor also coming from an LG 240hz monitor and I guarantee the loss of the 70hz is worth it because you gain more shadows, speed, and over a million more pixels than 1080p to work with.
@@PsychoBenches I had the old version of the pg279q back in 2017 but the 1080ti wasn’t pushing them high refresh rates like this 3080 I got now so I swapped fornthe 1080p excited to make the jump again lol 😝 when 1080p is at 24inch it’s not too bad but still a big diff compared to that 1440p
@user-vf8be6rx2g Theres quite a lot of headroom for custom colors, but I can't guarantee it'll look exactly like what you want but it can be close. Worst comes to worse if you don't like it you can just return it.
@user-vf8be6rx2g Ah, trust me IPS is the way to go if you want good saturation and color balance.
do you have best picture settings for this or at least your preference please
Thanks allot. That’s funny that I tried that but I was too quick with it and it kept not working but waiting fixes it lol?
I got the VG27AQ! (not sure about the L1A bit), it runs a little warm, and there are some minor backlight bleeds, but it's great for the price!
The L1A is worlds better.
@@greckles3734 are you sure about that? because i am confused between the two
@@Ali-xx9sj yes, I’ve tried both on my personal setup.
@@Ali-xx9sj The L1A has more brightness, better contrast, better I/O and 130% sRGB (Non L1A does only 100%, so not a wide gamut)
@@SriTejaChilakapati in specs & tests they show that the L1A only has better brightness when HDR is on? hows your experience?
I was comparing vg27aq to this model, which of them is good?
oooh!! TUF Gaming stuff! This'll either be great, or a total dumpster fire!
does 1080p youtube video look bad/blurry on this? also what about netflix amazon prime 1080p on this 1440?
Okay so for me that play xbox Series X and love movies. I should not use HDR and get 120fps. But I feel the picture for gaming and movies is much better at 4k HUD HDR 10. And not run 1440p 120fps
Hi, i wana buy this monitor for ps5 but im scared about some stuff, did u noticed alote of ghosting and black color smearing while gaming? Thank u for awnser
So far great for my 3070. But has developed a screen tear I guess. Top half different from bottom a bit. Out of sync maybe?
My pet peeve about 144hz+ displays is that I don't feel like I can use the extra refresh rate because you also want to be able to properly support 24 and 30fps content without jitter and I'm not sure that VFR/Freesync actually fix this issue for video playback.
If any integer multiple of the framerate you want to display falls in the refresh rate range of your VRR display, any sufficiently advanced video player should be able to avoid any jitter by just duplicating frames. 24 fps content can be viewed at 72 fps with exact timings by displaying each original frame three times on the output.
Never had this issue
Still don’t like the way they are recorded for which model alphabets soup other than that great review
damn on sale right now for $299 all sold out at my microcenter
is the vesa mount recessed? if so about how much?
I can't find anywhere sound quality of their speakers
goodday sir i wanted to buy this monitor before this year end u think still good sir.
hola amigo, muchas gracias por la información, tengo el mismo monitor pero necesito un dato del valor que debe tener el monitor de contraste, gracias!!!!😃
Hola! Tengo el mismo monitor pero me pregunto si el tuyo suena bien porque el mio suena muy bajo. No es nada de configuración. Estoy pensando que vino con ese defecto de fábrica.
How's it holding up after some time ?
I have the 32" version. Great in Far Cry 5.
It has 1ms only with ELMB on, right?
Does anyone know what the background music is in this video? Yes, I know its Kevin MacLeod but what is it called?
Why is there nothing of the va panel version
Still waiting on an ultra wide that speaks to me
Is this better then the MSI Optix G273QPF
Whats the calibration gizmo you use?
The strix version has lights and a brutal 30ms response time at 60hz. This one doesn't have those things lol.
What means "strix" version?
Sorry I am not so much in this field.
Do you still recommend it?
Is HDMI better or is Display Port better
Question for L1T when do you think we will see 360htz monitors in sizes larger than 24.5"?? Thanks
Bro get a life
@@Kompakuta I have one high refresh large format monitors are insane tools for professional users working with real time data. CFD, Audio, Analysis/finance are all fields that buy high end monitors. There is actual green grass waiting time to stop trolling & get out of the basement;)
It's a shame so much time has passed since 1440p and 144Hz were introduced, and the high prices remain the same. What I can personally say is that this monitor has unusually poor QC and no warranty for
I bought a BenQ monitor the IPS glow/light bleeding was such an issue I had to send it back.
What monitor do you have at the moment?
For this monitor I’ve had about 7-8 of them. Why? Because I bought it on Amazon for over $400 and it kept dropping by like $20 so I kept returning it for the better sale price. Recently it just dropped to $299 and I returned it again and ordered it at the price. Currently waiting for it in the mail. But out of all of them that I’ve had not a single one had dead pixels and ALL of them were great out of the box. Ofc I added in the rtings color calibration. But I think either you’re tripping or have really bad luck, however I don’t think their QC is lacking. Acer is the king in that department.
@@greckles3734 this is Asus tho not acer
@@mateospennati350 your reply made absolutely no sense. Try again.
@@greckles3734 why are you talking about acers quality control when this is a video about Asus
Does anyone know if this is Wide-LED or standard-LED
Does this monitor suffer from ips glow?
How do you rotate it
i bought the VG27AQ1A by accident thinking it was this monitor you reviewed (note the missing L). They seem basically identical, though. Except for the mount. Mine doesn't even have height adjustment. I'm a bit mad. They are so malicious with these naming shenanigans...
I believe yours may have a VA panel too. They're really mischievous with hiding the VA elephant in the room on Amazon.
@@PsychoBenches no it is an IPS panel hehe. it looks great! i love it
but i'm really looking forward to the new OLED pc monitors! i am a fan of OLED
@@lucy-pero Hey I have yours the VG27AQ1A for 309 euros and VG27AQL1A for 460. what do you recommend?
@@user-il8iv4qx2usdsd idk but i love this monitor it's great
Vignette = vin yet!
does it give motion sickness?
Just got one for 108 dollars :)
Can these settings do for the vg27aq1a
Does this have hdmi 2.1
The test you show is called Frame Skipping, Chase Squares is a different test.
Yep these monitor tests are hours of testing edited down to just a few mins, it's all there
Sweet
I've had this monitor for a year now. It's a decent monitor, except whenever it goes into sleep mode or is powered off it loses all connection to the GPU, like if the cable was unplugged, and it's I N F U R I A T I N G. It messes up every window manager I've tried, on multiple machines with GPUs from all three vendors. Windows, KDE, Gnome, whatever it is, all of them mess up window positions, display settings, resolution, sometimes the window manager or GPU driver crashes. Sometimes it works fine, too often it doesn't. I've had to disable monitor sleep completely.
Have you tried disabling display port deep sleep? There is a thread on reddit about some sleep problems on Asus modes
@@temporoyale6251 There is no way of disabling display port deep sleep on this monitor.
@@Berengal i've read about the issue now, it's sad because this is the only decent monitor that is available to buy in my country.
Hmm i just returned it because i got a weird lower half video display issue with horizontal lines. Thought it was hdmi cable but also had issue where whole screen had vertical lines even on the asus loading screen. The horizontal lines didnt have that. Returned 20 days after purchase
Did you notice certain things looking orange with this display? I been trying to adjust it but the colors keep being off.
It has dp 1.2 , does it support 10bit color depth on 1440p along with 170fps ?
Nope, 8bit at 170hz.
10bit 1440p 120hz
did anyone else cringe when he tried to turn the monitor vertically and bumped it twice!!!!?? lol
Thank You
yea that flickr is why i sold my ausus monitor and got an aoc instead , lower branded and lower rating is actually better
you know ELMB is optional right? it comes with it off by default.
@@czbrat my monitor didnt have this , but another asus monitor , after seeeing how 1 was , i dont have the $$$ to replace a monitor every time it has a problem , i exp`d problems with asus monitors , i chose AOC over it , and i have had Absolutely No problems with my choice . soo yea i figured you could here , but i have already had a bad exp with asus monitors , i think it was the last model of this though , cant remember , however , i just cant afford to keep going back n forth 30 miles away to local stores and definitely not waiting 3 to 6 weeks for a rma on anything atm , my AOC monitor hasnt failed me yet
Less talk, more demonstration.
That strobe light screen was making my head hurt >.
