Review on ASUS VG278QR: Experience Ultimate Gaming with Compatible ๐ŸŽฎ DisplayPort, 165Hz Refresh Rate, Low Blue Light, and More! by Jeffrey Bacon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great monitor for the price.

I used to be (and still am to an extent) a console plebeian. I had a monitor (Asus vg245h) running at 75Hz. This monitor is great for console gaming as most console games don't go above 60fps, but eventually I decided to add another monitor to my setup to match the PC masters -Join race. You know how many people say you can't see more than 60 fps? Let me tell you something: there is a big difference between gaming on a 75Hz monitor and a 165Hz monitor. It's hard to put into words, but my response time when playing games like Warzone was much faster on this new monitor than the old one. The picture quality is very good, but I don't know exactly how to adjust it. I just searched the reviews/online forum to find the setting. I then made some additional adjustments to the contrast and brightness. The ONLY issue I have with this monitor is the sound quality from its speakers. Let's face it, it's bullshit, but luckily I hardly ever use my PC/PS4 without headphones, so I don't have to worry about a thing. My old monitor's speakers are pretty good too, so I can use them when I need to charge my headphones too. I definitely recommend buying this monitor if you don't mind bad speakers.

Pros
  • Flexible connectivity with DisplayPort 1.2 HDMI 1.4 Dual-Link DVI-D
Cons
  • too stupid
