> 3 dayI do NOT use g-sync, elmb sync, ASCR, or any other fancy stuff on this monitor. They all drop your frame rate and feel slow. I play Insurgency, Arma 3, and warzone maxed out graphic settings. Warzone still looks like garb, but its not the monitors fault. This monitor is crazy nice. Buy this or the 4k one. The 165hz refresh rate DOES work at 2K. The actual DP input is only 1.2. Displayport and hdmi cord included but I ended up getting a DP 1.4 13 footer (accell). I have a decent 3080 setup, and Ive been using a 60hz tv or Valve index for displays. This monitor changed everything. I sucked before now Im cracked at fortnite (no cap)

> 3 dayGreat monitor and decently priced. Not native Gsync, but Gsync compatible. HDR is ok. Monitor runs at 144hz and requires over locking to run at 165hz. I overclock sometimes.

Greater than one weekSo firstly, Amazon has many of these TUF monitors grouped in the same family of products despite the fact they use different technologies and features. It looks as if they corrected this somewhat since I bought this, but there are still some items mixed up in the same family of TUF series monitors. I originally got the VG32VQ1B and had to return that because it was a VA panel. I then got this VG27BQ monitor (which is a TN panel) and have not regretted it since, its awesome. I have a 1070ti and have the ELMB-Sync setup on this monitor for 165Hz refresh rate 0.4ms response time. The low response time is fantastic and great for competitive games. I play Rainbow 6 Siege mainly. Keep in mind with a TN panel you are giving up some color depth that a IPS or VA panel might give you and the ELMB makes it ever so SLIGHTLY darker (it was super dark on the VA panel originally) on this TN panel, but to me the buttery smooth response time is worth it for a game like Siege. Just make sure your video card is G-Sync/Free Sync compatible otherwise youll be limited to 144Hz (still not bad obviously) and a response time of 1ms (also still not terrible) rather than 0.4ms response time (most people probably wouldnt see the difference anyway, only on a very superficial and subconscious level most likely).

Greater than one weekGreat HDR monitor. I have the 32 version. Running it with a Radeon 6800xt. Playing doom eternal and Far Cry games on this is a dream. My only gripe are the menu controls. There are big buttons on the back right side. It can be difficult just to get out of a setting to the point I just had to turn off the monitor and restart it. So menu navigation can be a pain. but overall best monitor Ive ever had.

> 3 dayIf you only use this for gaming it will be fine, but for watching movies its horrible, every time there is a black background scene, that black looks white and thats pretty annoying.

> 3 dayI already had the 27 1080p monitor from ASUS that had the same form factor, but I wanted a better resolution for eSports games (CS:GO, Overwatch, LoL, VALORANT). The screen looks sharp, the colors are bright, and everything looks great especially for a TN panel. Great response time with none of the ghost/smearing issues I had with an AOC VA gaming panel. Vertical viewing angles are abysmal, but thats to be expected from a TN panel. If you need better angles, look into getting the IPS version. However, if this is gonna be your front and center main monitor, you can probably save some money and just get the TN version (faster pixel response time too!) Do note that even though the package says 165hz, its only reachable with an overclock, which disables a lot of the other visual features like GSync/FreeSync and ELBM. Normally it reaches 144hz, which is fine for me since you couldnt pay me enough money to distinguish 144hz from 165hz correctly. However, it is a odd quirk of the packaging worth noting. Also, the panel is coated in this anti-glare solution that can make the screen look almost greasy if very bright, uniform colors are viewed. This is a mixed point. Since my monitor is right in front of a window, it helps me but it could be distracting if you play bright games in a dark environment.

> 3 dayThis monitor is fantastic with only a few drawbacks. Im not very picky, but this monitor is WAY TOO BRIGHT. I leave this on 0 brightness, day and night, and I still cant use my computer at night without my wife complaining that its too bright. My only other complaint is that the base is a little flimsy. The v-shaped feet are a bit intrusive on the desktop, but not as bad as my other monitor with its disc-shaped base. Its somewhat of a toss-up as to which design is better. The cable management is gimmicky on this base, too. Im not impressed there. The picture quality is decent, and I like that its 27 with more than 1920x1080 resolution. Overall, I am pleased, but the limited brightness range is an issue for me. Also, the DisplayPort connector is touchy. Make sure not to wiggle your cable at all or the screen will momentarily lose signal (yes, Ive ensured the connector is fully inserted to both the PC and the monitor).
