27-inch Full HD gaming monitor
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG277Q1A is a 27-inch Full HD monitor built for fast-paced gaming. Its VA panel delivers a 1920 x 1080 resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response time. The 16:9 non-glare screen targets players who want smooth motion in competitive titles.
165Hz refresh rate with FreeSync Premium
The panel runs at up to 165Hz and supports AMD FreeSync Premium for variable refresh rates. It also works with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series, GTX 16 series, RTX 20 series and newer graphics cards via Adaptive-Sync. HDMI and DisplayPort inputs carry the signal. The 144Hz mode is also supported for wider GPU compatibility.
1ms MPRT response time via ELMB
ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) achieves a 1ms MPRT figure to reduce ghosting in fast scenes. This single motion-clarity spec decides whether the monitor fits a buyer who prioritises sharpness over colour volume. The 85% NTSC gamut and 3000:1 static contrast serve general gaming but fall short of wide-gamut creative work.

Questions about this item
Which size and resolution version of the TUF Gaming VG277Q1A should I pick?
The model is a 27-inch Full HD panel at 1920 x 1080 with a 165 Hz refresh rate and VA panel, so there is only one size and resolution combination to choose from.
What does the 165 Hz refresh rate mean once the monitor is in my system?
It lets the screen draw up to 165 frames every second and supports 144 Hz as well, giving smoother motion in fast-paced games when your graphics card can push those frame rates.
Which adaptive-sync standard does the VG277Q1A use and what does it cap in practice?
It uses FreeSync Premium over HDMI and DisplayPort, working with compatible AMD Radeon cards and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-series, GTX 16-series, RTX 20-series and newer GPUs to eliminate tearing up to the panel's 165 Hz limit.
