I recently bought this exact monitor brand new a couple days ago on amazon for $299, I say it is well worth the that price. This is my first 1440p monitor and my first IPS monitor. I came from a 1080p LCD monitor and the differences are astronomical. I just came from Techless' "Can You Calibrate a Monitor WITHOUT a Colorimeter?" video because I though the colors were too vivid for my taste. I followed all the suggestions in that video and I'm blown away by the visuals. Funnily enough, I decided to see if anyone had any color profiles/settings and found this video. I actually prefer the "DIY" look from "Can You Calibrate a Monitor WITHOUT a Colorimeter?" vs the settings mentioned in this video. But like you said, it is all subjective. YES the speakers actually sound like a cheap phone was playing inside a tin can, it is embarrassingly bad. Unfortunately, one of the reasons I bought this monitor was because of the built-in speakers. None of my previous monitors had speakers so I thought it was a good selling point along with the other features; please, do not buy this monitor for the speakers.
299 is a good price, heh. I just ordered one for 379. >.> Looks like a great monitor. I use 2 other LG 4K60 monitors for videos and productivity purposes. This monitor, however, will be the priciest and most premium. I'm looking forward to giving it a shot.
Also don't forget, Cyber Monday and Black Friday are around the corner, they may have risen the prices to make it look like a great savings during the Holidays, I've seen it before.
FYI - I could overclock my XG27AQ to 170 Hz (no flickering), but this locks the memory clock on Nvidia graphic cards at max rate causing very high idle temps. If you overclock to to any other lower setting it will unlock and idle temps goes down to the normal value. Also at native 144Hz it will unlock the memory clock. This was a very unpleasant surprise that I can't use 170Hz without idle temp going up on GPU to the level that Zero RPM mode can't be used since it will start/stop the fans every 5-10 seconds when the temps go above 50-55C. I also have a hard time to find the best settings regarding gaming. At 170Hz Gsync + ELMB looks sharp but it feels not natural. It feels way better with ELMB off and add Dynamic Dimming instead. But that only looks great in games, it's a hassle to switch off every time for office use. But there is a third option that maybe looks and feels the best, 120Hz with Gsync+ELMB works great and looks great. But what the heck, I just paid a lot of money to have that 170Hz monitor...
Really impressed with the quality of these videos, you are a really great reviewer! I don't know if this is the place to give some recommendations for review but the Viewsonic Elite XG2405-2 is a new iteration of the Viewsonic Elite XG2405 (which had the AOC panel and minimal backlight bleeding) seems to have gotten a new (and probably better) panel, and hasn't gotten many reviews. I can only get some colour performance metrics online (120% sRGB, 85% NTSC) which seem promising, but can't get any other info about contrast and ghosting etc.(except the typical manufacturer numbers). Would be really happy if a review was to come out since the price seems competitive with other great monitors of its range. Keep up the good work!
just wanted to say, first video of yours i've seen. very impressed with your review style, thorough testing, tone, pacing, scripting, everything. enjoyable viewing experience throughout. subscribed.
You should retest ELMB Asus monitors some of them provide different strobbing clariness when having g sync/ adaptive sync ON/OFF so by disabling and leaving only the strobbing feature you will prob have more of a clear image. Is quite more difficult to have both at the same time and compete with other monitors.
0:18 Nice! Great review! I was hoping someone would cover ELMB-Sync on the XG27AQ, mostly to see if ASUS had made improvements since the VG27AQ and the VG279QM. Guess not. VRR + strobing seems... difficult, and the way these manufacturers are currently doing it isn't actually offering any clarity benefits, which makes me question why they're even offering it in the first place. LG recently removed the feature from their 27GP850 because they weren't happy with it (rightly so!), and while Gigabyte also offers Aim Stabilizer Sync, pursuit shots of the M32Q suggest that they're doing something extremely similar to what ASUS did way back on the VG27AQ, which completely falls apart at lower framerates. So no good news about VRR + strobing :( BTW, can I ask what DPI/mouse sensitivity you were using in Smooth Frog? I'm curious if you can tell a difference when using ultra high DPI + ultra low sens.
Hey a5hun! First off, Smooth Frog is awesome - thank you so much for releasing it for free! I'm using 0.6 sens with 1000 DPI. I've yet to test different DPI/sens combinations. So far it felt very smooth. Absolutely agree on what you said about strobing. Most monitors should really offer no strobing mode at all considering how badly they perform. That's much better than including trash modes just to have something to print onto the box. I'm really hoping for someone to finally make a good strobing mode that works with adaptive sync. I'm pretty sensitive to tearing...
I just set my XG27QA to 170hz but never received any warning about flickering? Could it potentially be a power source issue where if the monitor detects lower than optimal voltage it provides that warning but otherwise does not? I'm just wondering why I wouldn't receive a warning there. I haven't noticed any flickering in game or a major draw back to noise level or texture quality. I am using a 3080 12900k combo so it is plenty to run 170hz at 1440p, would it possibly be an issue with older (but still very good) hardware rather than current gen stuff?
Hi @techless, thank you for this professional review - this is a monitor I was looking into purchasing for gaming but also 2D/3D graphics, so fps/response times but also color accuracy are all equally important to me. Unfortunately most professional graphics monitors seems to be capped at 60Hz, so this seemed to be the best compromise I could find. With that in mind, do you happen to know of another 27' 1440p that also happens to be a better fit for a gaming/graphics mixed usage? ^ _ ^
Really nice review and tutorial. I noticed you didn't talk about shadow boost and blue light filters. Is it possible to get you opinion and best setting for those as well? Cheers!
How do you display the factory OSD menu on the top left corner at 3:20 minutes of the video? Is there a special button, or via a program? I don't have this kind of thing on the same screen. Thanks a lot!
Guys, what is the best gaming monitor when it comes to good image quality and colors ? I tried lot of monitors but most of them are bad in colors and Faded
Hello, thanks for making this video. What would you recommend that’s better in the same price range or around there? I need something low latency with an IPS panel and really nice contrast (HDR-like) and compatible with PS5 at 120 fps. Can’t go any bigger than 27”, and QHD would be nice but FHD is okay too. Thanks!
Hello. I choose a monitor for my white build and a white table. Of all the ones I saw in the store, I liked Asus only in the white color that you have in the review. As for me, his appearance is the best in the category up to $ 600. I knew he had flaws. I've been sitting on a dell ultrasharp 2412 monitor for 10 years now and basically like everything about it. Considering that it only has 60 hertz. And there are as many as 144) If you recommend me a white monitor, so that it has a good leg and design, I will be grateful to you.
compared to LG gp850p in your opinion is an issue the fact that the 10-bit colors output can't go with 170hz refresh rate but maximum at 120hz due to a limitation by DP1.2 (the LG has 1.4 and can 10bit@180hz). Also, have you notice the color banding?
@@Lin-hanbao Since I can't rotate because i didn't want to force it, I left my screen like default Since last week, I tried again to rotate and its finnaly work without forced it 🤷🏻♂️ Maybe they need some time i dont know.
The only problem I have with this monitor I have so far is the bottom plastic part on the front. it feels really cheap and is easy to bend and what not, I will spend a week with the monitor and if I don't like it, it's going right back to microcenter
The only problem on my unit is the little white/dead pixels (18 in my first unit/ 5 in my second) and the ips glow. I really hope that Asus keep all that packaging money and redirect to the Quality control area.
Incredible video as always! I'm considering buying a 144hz monitor and I'm between the Samsung G3 and the LG 24GN600. What would you choose between this two?
Hey bro at first you are amazing you have so much talent love your vids. And now to my question about 4 monitors. I'm just playing cs go and need the best monitor between this 4. So which one do you prefer? Asus Vg248QE, Asus tuf VG249Q , Benq xl2411p or the Benq xl2411k? Colors are not important. Need just the one whos the fastest... Please help
I recently bought the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ1A monitor, and I am curious how similar it is to this one. I bought the VG27AQ1A on sale for € 328, while the XG27AQ is over double the price at € 650. XG27AQ is definitely very overpriced in my country. From what I hear the VG27AQ1A and the VG27AQL1A should have very similar screens. There are no ICC profiles out there for the AQ1A, but I tried out the one Rtings made for for the AQL1A and got very good results. I don't think it's perfect, but definitely a lot better than the pre-calibrated colors. So I am wondering, how do you access the factory/ service menu? I have tried to Google it, but didn't find any methods. Btw, you make absolutely banger content! Keep up the good work!
To get into the factory menu you have to turn the monitor off, press and hold joystick while turning back on, then open OSD and navigate to "F". But please don't change any settings if you're not 100% sure what you're doing ✌️
@@techlessYT Thank you for the answers! Glad to hear the AQ1A and the AQL1A share the same screen! Will accessing the Factory menu void my warranty? And yes, I will definitely not change any settings 👍
holy, I was deciding between this monitor and the VG27AQL1A and was wibdering the same thing on the price being double of the QL1A. Just wanted to know if the mointor is a banger after a couple weeks with it. Only $300 for me right now.
@Josh Cabrera Mendoza Glad my question could be of help! Sadly, I am most likely going to return my VG27AQ1A soon :/ My unit is way too pink on white hues, even after installing RTINGS' ICC profile for it :/ The monitor was badly calibrated out of the box. The ICC profile and the recommended settings that RTINGS provided definitely improved the screen drastically, but it still has that red/ pink tint on white hues.
I want my screen to be as color accurate as possible, so this is just not acceptable for me. Besides the color inaccuracy, I absolutely love it! So it's a damn shame that ASUS cannot get their colors right, it's a good monitor otherwise imo. I might have been unlucky and received a defect unit though. So you might receive a monitor with better color accuracy. But I have no idea honestly. I have been in contact with ASUS about it, but I am yet to receive a response. 300 USD is definitely a good price though! Hopefully I can find a good monitor to replace it for a good price on Black Friday! Maybe you should wait until then too! I made a post about my problem with the VG27AQ1A on r/Monitors on Reddit, where I compared it to a Nintendo Switch and an iPad Pro screen. It looks really bad lol! I will try post that link below in another comment, but it might be removed automatically by RUclips. So please let me know if you don't see that link! I hope this is helpful! :)
I wonder if this monitor is available in your region but i think the BJX G30P5 is really weird. I would be interested in your review of this 200hz ultra wide fhd 30” monitor, I’m personally not convinced
This on is on sale with 400€, which is 100€ lower than earlier in my country. I have only GTX970, so I can go only between 60-120fps in games I play. This would have G-sync though, which many monitors are not supporting and my GTX970 supports G-sync, but not freesync. I currently have old and cheat 60hz monitor. I am buying new pc later, but it can take 1-2 years, because of the current GPU prices and DDR4 -> DDR5. I would like to let DDR5 improve a little before I buy it. I would like to have faster monitor, because playing fast paced games with current one gives me a headache. 400e for a monitor, which I cannot get all out of and which has poor blacks and has clouding, sounds maybe too much. Although, my current monitor is IPS too, so I don't think blacks would bother me that much. I had VA monitor on test and those deep blacks were kind of annoying also, because I am not used to those. I am wondering how close OLED screens are, if I have to wait 2 years to get new PC. It would be another 2 years with a bad monitor though. 400€ isn't that much.
This monitor is g sync not g sync compatible or at last there is this information on official nvidia site under the list of monitors with this feature. This is important information becouse compatible versions need to be turned on manualy.

So you might receive a monitor with better color accuracy. But I have no idea honestly. I have been in contact with ASUS about it, but I am yet to receive a response.
300 USD is definitely a good price though! Hopefully I can find a good monitor to replace it for a good price on Black Friday! Maybe you should wait until then too!
I made a post about my problem with the VG27AQ1A on r/Monitors on Reddit, where I compared it to a Nintendo Switch and an iPad Pro screen. It looks really bad lol! I will try post that link below in another comment, but it might be removed automatically by RUclips. So please let me know if you don't see that link!
I hope this is helpful! :)
This monitor or Benq ex2710q???????
The RGB light on the back stays on even after you turn off the PC, how can i turn it off??
in BIOS or monitor settings i think
You can easly switch off in the OSD on : “aura sync” “Aura RGB” just click aura sync and config on the armour crate or any other rgb soft
Is this monitor better than the Lg83A
Amazing content ❤️❤️
thnks for the review!
Is this quantom dot?
Will there be a review on the MAG251RX sometime in the future?
I wonder if this monitor is available in your region but i think the BJX G30P5 is really weird. I would be interested in your review of this 200hz ultra wide fhd 30” monitor, I’m personally not convinced
Never mind, I just did some digging and it seems to be a Chinese brand that created a US front to sell garbage in Vietnam
Locking every color/brightness etc setting is the worst shit Asus does in it's monitors. Just WHY?
hi, i have got one question. How bad is the age of the monitor if I use it regularly at 170 frequencies?
Is it actually confirmed to use Quantum Dots?
Everything was fine until no unique OD mode for all VRR, I was about to buy it.
which monitor did you choose instead
Bro can you review Lenovo g24-20 it is 144hz 1 ms free sync g sync monitor under 200 dollars in the Amazon sale
Hi!
Can someone share best settings for this display?
Thanks
This or MSI MAG274QRF-QD?
I had both and the msi is faster and better imo
Can you make a video about Asus VG249Q1A? It seems like a really solid 165hz IPS monitor for its price , besides its stand.
It’s 289$ now so is it worth? 🤔
can u review the xg27wq a bit affordable one so i can get the icc profile haha
can you link the omen 25x or do a review to it
this monitor has freensyc and I use amd on a video card, an rx 6800xt, - please
Good video as always👍
Flickering is not visible but it can hurt your eyes, that's a deal breaker
How is white uniformity?
Should i enable elmb sync off or on for fps game?
If ur on console keep it off, you won’t see any difference. If ur on PC however, turn it on if ur gaming at atleast 144hz 👍
can i use this monitor with a vesa mount????
it's in the video, but yes
thanks. how is this compared to ROG PG279QM? thank yyou.
make a video on msi MSI G241 vs gigabyte g24f vs aoc 24g2 new panel
Hey i have 1 tip pleas say wath price u finde not okay and sa ath wath price pont u wud recomend the Monitor becous the price can drop
This on is on sale with 400€, which is 100€ lower than earlier in my country. I have only GTX970, so I can go only between 60-120fps in games I play. This would have G-sync though, which many monitors are not supporting and my GTX970 supports G-sync, but not freesync. I currently have old and cheat 60hz monitor. I am buying new pc later, but it can take 1-2 years, because of the current GPU prices and DDR4 -> DDR5. I would like to let DDR5 improve a little before I buy it. I would like to have faster monitor, because playing fast paced games with current one gives me a headache. 400e for a monitor, which I cannot get all out of and which has poor blacks and has clouding, sounds maybe too much. Although, my current monitor is IPS too, so I don't think blacks would bother me that much. I had VA monitor on test and those deep blacks were kind of annoying also, because I am not used to those. I am wondering how close OLED screens are, if I have to wait 2 years to get new PC. It would be another 2 years with a bad monitor though. 400€ isn't that much.
its 530€ now :) link in description
@@enuazeal I ended up buing LG 32GL850 and I have enjoyed this one.
This one or the MSI MAG274QRF-QD???
Monitor names just roll off the tongue.
i blindly bought this monitor 2 days ago because the specs were perfect so i was very scared when watching this video😂 im glad i got it
I just got this on Amazon Prime's deals yesterday. $299usd marked down from $380. Not sure if this helps you.
@@thebogsofmordor7356 I got it at exactly the same price. Still didn't arrive yet. Is it good?
@@tris2141 Yes it's a pretty good monitor. I haven't had any issues. Obviously limited by what your GPU can handle but this monitor is nice.
@@thebogsofmordor7356 I'm planning to use it by plugging it to my laptop (rtx 3060) through an HDMI 2.0 cable.
@@tris2141 use DPI cable if it's going to be your main screen. I have a 3060 Ti.
1:30 , thats very impressive
Please, test the newly released Lenovo G24-20 165Hz IPS!
Can anybody help me with the right settings for ps5 ?
1 year ago it was 450$ in usa
in Iraq today, it's 480$.
Money is not an issue even when its deemed overpriced. Seems legit enough 👌
This monitor is g sync not g sync compatible or at last there is this information on official nvidia site under the list of monitors with this feature. This is important information becouse compatible versions need to be turned on manualy.
Der LG GP850 kostet im Moment keine 350€ und hat 180Hz, da ist die Auswahl ja klar.
Just ordered mine yesterday. $400 canadian, $200 off for cyber monday
