The ASUS TUF Gaming 27″ 1440P HDR Monitor is a gaming display that provides a 2560 x 1440 resolution with a 180Hz refresh rate. So there will be enough graphics detail on the screen for your daily computer work and enough speed for playing fast-paced games. It’s a great mid-range gaming monitor for anyone who is ready to break beyond the 1080p/60Hz standard.
A crisp, high-quality monitor perfect for serious gamers
The QHD Fast IPS panel makes this monitor one of the best deals around. It displays 130% of the sRGB color space, has a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and wide viewing angles. So, you can use this display for both gaming and video applications, as well as general desk work, without being limited by its gaming designation.
The 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make this a great gaming display. You’ll find that this monitor provides a cleaner picture during fast-motion sequences than a standard 60Hz or 75Hz display. In addition, ASUS has enabled Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync, allowing blur-reduction and adaptive sync technologies to work together to further improve performance. FreeSync Premium, G-SYNC compatibility, and AdaptiveSync are all supported to minimize tearing and ghosting when frame rates fluctuate. A gaming display should remain stable during intense action sequences, and the combination of features on this monitor means you don’t have to worry about stuttering or screen tearing.
Support for HDR10 adds additional highlight and dark-area ranges to this display. Plus, the enhanced colors can completely change how you feel about a game’s design. The monitor also has built-in speakers, which may not completely replace a separate audio system, but can certainly simplify your setup if you’re worried about clutter. To allow you to easily access and adjust your monitor settings via software rather than having to dig through on-screen menus with physical buttons, ASUS uses DisplayWidget Center for easy monitor control.
Included in the box are the items you need to start using it immediately. It includes a DisplayPort cable, an L-shaped screwdriver, a power cord, a power adapter, a quick-start guide, and a warranty card. For $179, reduced from $249, the ASUS TUF Gaming 27″ 1440P HDR Monitor finds a sweet spot in price for 1440p sharpness, 180Hz refresh rate, variable refresh rate support, HDR10, and more, making it suitable as both a main screen for productivity and a great gaming display.
