Follow the action at 200Hz

A high refresh rate makes fast camera movements easier to follow when your PC can deliver the frames. Full HD keeps the rendering workload more manageable than higher resolutions, making this a practical choice for players who prioritise frame rate. Select 200Hz in your system display settings with compatible hardware.

Fast IPS colour from a wide viewing angle

The Fast IPS panel combines responsive gaming performance with broad viewing angles and full sRGB coverage. It suits colourful games, browsing and video alongside competitive play, with an anti-glare surface to help manage reflections at your desk.

Tune motion for the game you play

FreeSync Premium helps reduce tearing as compatible frame rates change. ASUS ELMB offers another motion-clarity option, while Trace Free and Variable Overdrive provide settings for fine-tuning response. Choose the combination that looks best in your games rather than assuming the strongest overdrive setting is always the best.

Useful controls without the menu hunt

DisplayWidget Center lets you adjust supported display settings with a mouse. Shadow Boost can reveal detail in darker scenes, while GameVisual presets and GamePlus tools offer convenient ways to tailor the view for different games.

Connect your PC and a second source

DisplayPort and two HDMI inputs make it easy to keep multiple compatible devices connected. Integrated stereo speakers handle everyday sound, and the earphone connection offers an alternative for personal listening. Choose a dedicated gaming headset when you want a microphone and more focused game audio.

What resolution does the VG279Q5R use?

Its native resolution is Full HD, 1920 × 1080, on a 27-inch flat Fast IPS panel. Choose a QHD or 4K model if additional desktop detail is your main priority.

How do I use the 200Hz refresh rate?

Connect a compatible PC using a suitable cable, then select 200Hz in Windows or your graphics driver. The frame rate you achieve in a game also depends on the graphics card, game settings and the game itself.

Is the response time always 0.3ms?

ASUS lists 1ms GTG and a minimum of 0.3ms. The minimum is a panel response specification under particular settings; it does not describe total system input latency.

Does it support FreeSync Premium?

ASUS lists FreeSync Premium and Adaptive-Sync support for smoother motion with compatible hardware. The display also offers ELMB motion-blur reduction; available settings depend on the operating mode.

Can I raise the stand or use a monitor arm?

The supplied stand adjusts by tilt and does not offer height adjustment. The monitor supports a 75 × 75mm VESA mount. Check that your chosen arm supports that pattern and the 3.3kg display weight without its stand.

Does the monitor have speakers and an audio connection?

Yes. It has two built-in 2W speakers and an earphone jack. For gaming voice chat, connect a microphone or gaming headset to your PC or console.
