ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQM5F 27" QHD Gaming Monitor - 2560 x 1440 320Hz 0.3ms Fast IPS G-SYNC Compatible - Black - VG27AQM5F

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQM5F is a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor running at 320Hz on a Fast IPS panel, making it one of the fastest 1440p displays available. A 0.3ms minimum grey-to-grey response, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certification and AMD FreeSync Premium keep motion clean and tear-free. Colour coverage reaches 95% DCI-P3, well beyond the sRGB-only panels usual at this speed.

320Hz at QHD Resolution

The combination here is what matters: 320Hz at QHD rather than Full HD. High refresh rates have traditionally meant dropping to 1080p, because pushing 1440p at extreme frame rates was both expensive to display and demanding to drive. This panel removes that compromise for anyone with the graphics power to use it, keeping the sharpness of 2560 x 1440 at a refresh rate previously reserved for Full HD esports monitors. Adaptive sync operates across a 48 to 320Hz range, so the benefit holds when frame rates fluctuate.

Fast IPS and 0.3ms Response

ASUS quotes a 1ms grey-to-grey response with a 0.3ms minimum, and it is worth understanding the distinction: the minimum figure describes the fastest pixel transitions rather than every transition on the panel. Fast IPS is an IPS-derived technology engineered to speed up pixel transitions while retaining the wide viewing angles and colour accuracy IPS is known for, which is why you no longer have to choose between TN speed and IPS image quality.

ELMB SYNC and Gaming AI

ELMB SYNC is the standout feature. Motion blur reduction normally strobes the backlight, and on most monitors that cannot run alongside variable refresh rate, forcing a choice between blur reduction and tear-free output. ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync runs both at once, removing ghosting without sacrificing smoothness. Gaming AI adds Dynamic Crosshair, which shifts the crosshair colour to contrast with the background, and Dynamic Shadow Boost, which lifts detail out of dark areas automatically.

Connectivity and Stand

Connectivity covers DisplayPort and two HDMI ports, so a PC and a console can stay connected at once, with a headphone jack and dual built-in speakers. DisplayWidget Center allows monitor settings to be changed with a mouse from the desktop rather than through a joystick menu. Note that the stand is tilt-only rather than height adjustable, so if you need to raise the screen, budget for a monitor arm or VESA mount. Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free operation cover eye comfort over long sessions.
