Review on ASUS VG27AQ1A Gaming Monitor: Compatible DisplayPort, 2560x1440p, 170Hz, Swivel & Tilt Adjustment, Flicker-Free, Built-In Speakers by Alex Iuzzolino

Finding the right monitor was a difficult task. I'm just starting to develop games, but finances and my computer don't allow for a great dual monitor configuration. I've researched and researched endlessly, trying to find a monitor that would do both gaming and artwork. I had to get more into the playful side of things because I have a Huion tablet that I use for drawing and thought it would help get the true color pretty accurate. Pros: The screen is bright and clear with no pixel loss. . In my opinion, it's 100% adjustable, and the ability to change the height and adjust the angles over a wide range means that no matter what my back is doing or how I'm leaning, I can find the right position for the monitor can find convenient. well with a back injury. I'm not a competitive gamer and I don't play any FPS games other than the Borderlands series and Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2. These games, as well as my simpler 2D games, run very smoothly with no tearing or ghosting that I notice. Although I'm not an expert. I also have a cat who likes to hit sprites and moving objects on my screen. Now she is very small and has very soft paws, but she put some weight on her paws without damaging the screen. Of course I try to mitigate this behavior but it's about durability not leaving a scratch or anything like that. Cons: I've found a few cons, but I'm a simple person. The speakers aren't perfect, but I don't have a speaker monitor. The biggest problem is that I adjust my visual settings to the point where they look GREAT at first, but then I add my art to them. From there I find that the white balance is MUCH different than what I expected. Scanned graphics that originally looked great are blurry. It just means the artist is paying attention to my settings or putting a paper copy of the traditional art next to the screen so I can adjust the colors accordingly. Overall I am very happy with this monitor. It's great for its price range and does everything I need it to do.
