About this product
The ASUS VG278 is a 27-inch Full HD gaming monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and 1920x1080 resolution. It includes DisplayPort, HDMI 1.4, and DVI-D inputs. With 300 cd/m² brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, it's designed for fast-paced gaming. Priced at $80.00, it's an affordable option for competitive play.
Our take
Snagging the ASUS VG278 for $80 feels like a steal. The 144Hz refresh is smooth, and 1ms response eliminates ghosting. It's a TN panel, so colors are average, but for competitive gaming, that's fine. The 27-inch size is great for immersion, though 1080p at this size isn't razor sharp. The stand is basic with tilt only, and there are no speakers. But with a 3-year warranty and known ASUS quality, it's a solid budget gaming monitor.
