Asus VG279Q3A: What Real Users Actually Think

I have the same problem with my new monitor. It looks washed out / foggy from some angles exactly like your video. My 10 year old cheap IPS monitor from LG is perfect in comparison.

The brightness of the VG27AQ3A is lower than the VG27AQ, namely 250 vs 350-400. So HDR content will look better on the VG27AQ.

On this monitor you can immediately set the screen refresh to 180Hz by default without any restrictions. So you don't even need to overclock monitor in OSD.

I know this is an older post, but wondering as I just bought this model. How's the brightness on it? Is it worth it to pay the extra for the other version of this monitor for the hdr400 etc?

Wala naman issue. Last May ko lang nabili. Online from Lazada. Ok naman. Maganda maglaro ng games. Saka di pixellated yung texts kahit 1080p resolution lang. Worth it. Just check for dead pixels before you buy.

Great, excellent colors for been a IPS, tried the suggested setting on racing mode and work great for low lit room without giving eye strain. No ghosting, no noticeable bleed, no dead or stuck pixels, speaker are usable but not good, cons it doesn't have height adjustment but I knew it before getting it.

I bought same monitor 2 days ago. 0 problem. works perfectly. I have Asus 5070 and ryzen 5 7600. I play pubg and cs 2 and black mesa and I can say gaming in my pc feels like real life scenery. so works fine. I am so happy.

I bought this monitor last month and love it as well. I'd say my version has slightly higher than normal ips glow, noticeable sometimes but not immersion breaking.

Got it after reading through your post, really happy with it.

You are a god sent. The settings you provided are the BEST. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You single-handedly corrected the colors on this monitor.

Just today I got the 24inch version and I'm loving it.

Playing on it for 3 days now, the backlight glow significantly reduced on dark backgrounds and unnoticeable on any other colors when viewed on angle. I think I'm gonna keep this one!

Thank you so much op for the detailed review! Im planning on getting this model, its quite cheap, 150$ from the latest model of this one! Current price is 200$ in canada.

Variable OD level should be on level 3 and above with VRR supported game or higher refresh rate like 144 FPS. Low refresh rate like 60 I always pick level 1 otherwise overshoot and ghosting will appear on my screen. Higher fps = higher variable OD.

I found a way to fix all the color distortions or any problems with the colors, if you head to your main monitor settings under color, then click color temp, change it from warm, to user mode, it fixes all the colors, now it looks 4k for me.

I used one for two years now and I absolutely don't appreciate its performance. The brightness, vibrance, and RESPONSE TIME are all issues to me. Find other reputable LG monitors on other subreddits like r/monitors, those will give you a MUCH BETTER experience.

ELMB Sync is worth using only if you are engaged in cyber sports and you care about every millisecond to the detriment of screen brightness. In all other cases 'Variable OD - level 3' is your choice.

Does it work with ps5?

The ELMB Sync reduces the ghosting a ton but also reduces the brightness to 250 nits which is a big no-no for colors.

I've been using it for a while now, I'm really happy with it and I don't think that I would have found anything better.

The monitor itself has a speaker I'm using it rn while talking to you it's more than enough but it's not as loud as these ones.

I've had mine for about 3 months and am loving it so far.

I only needed to buy a DP 1.4 cable because the one that comes with it is 1.2.

Maybe the only downside is that you can't move it upwards or downwards but it wasn't a killer problem for me at least.

They work, and okay for the price, but you will get the most from your money if you do your research. The stand of my TUF is so hard and not smooth to adjust at all.

6 bit + FRC not 8 bit.

Im returning mine, the picture is washed out trash. Used to have the vg27aq1a and it was the best.

Thanks, I was able to unlock the grayed-out options in my monitor's menu. However, in my Nvidia Control Panel, it still states that the monitor is not validated as G-Sync Compatible, even though this monitor has been marketed as having G-Sync.

I had the same issue with VG259Q3A, found out the monitor was in Power Saving Mode. Move the knob on the back of the monitor > System Setup > Power Setting > Select Standard Mode.

I bought mine today, after doing a lot of research. Looking at the comments, it looks like I got it right.

I still use this monitor and have no problems, no dead pixels, no distortions on the screen. It is still the same as the day I purchased it. I can recommend this as a first high Hertz QHD monitor, for its price it is awesome.

After two years of use, the monitor is fine, I have no problems with the display, it is the same as on the day of purchase. There are no dead pixels, except for one blue color, barely noticeable, but this is normal for 2560x1440p.

For everyday use in a well-lit room or at night, the brightness of this monitor is more than enough. In order to protect your eyes, brightness of more than 100 nits is not recommended at all.

I just bought the asus and I would like to ask you guys if it's normal that I can't run both vrr and 120Hz on my ps5?

I've been using the lightbar on this monitor for almost a year, nothing yet.

I wanna buy it but im so worried about brightness it has 250 nits im just worried what if it feels dull.

HDR in this monitor is marketing, it works, but it won't give you that HDR experience because the brightness of this display is not enough to really show HDR content.

I'm asking how HDR works because Windows says it's unsupported but I see Display HDR on Asus WidgetCenter App and I can also enable Nvidia HDR but it's always Inactive.

After two years, I can confidently recommend this monitor for purchase. It is suitable for both gaming and work. I use it every day.

I can get 180hz on an HDMI port but 1920x1080 the resolution. For this monitor, the highest is 120hz on higher resolutions. Parang designed for desktop PC 'tong monitor.

Yes it will damage the monitor. I have it before, it left a mark on my monitor.
