help ASUS VG27AQ FAQ

Is the ASUS VG27AQ good for competitive FPS gaming like Valorant or CS2?

The VG27AQ offers a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response time, which is solid for competitive shooters like Valorant and CS2. However, it uses an IPS panel rather than a TN panel, so while the colors are much better, competitive purists may prefer a faster TN or a higher-refresh IPS like the VG279QM.

Does the ASUS VG27AQ support G-Sync or just FreeSync?

The VG27AQ features AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology, but because it is adaptive-sync over DisplayPort, it is also certified as G-Sync Compatible by NVIDIA. This means you can enable variable refresh rate on both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs without a dedicated G-Sync hardware module.

What is the native resolution of the ASUS VG27AQ?

The VG27AQ has a native resolution of 2560×1440 (WQHD or 1440p), which is a popular sweet spot for gaming at 27 inches because it balances visual detail with the GPU horsepower needed to hit high frame rates. It is not a 4K monitor.

Can I mount the ASUS VG27AQ on a VESA monitor arm?

Yes, the VG27AQ has a standard 100×100mm VESA mount on the back and comes with a stand that can be removed by pressing the quick-release button. You will need to remove the included stand plate to access the VESA screw holes.
