ASUS TUF Gaming VG27VQ computer monitor 68.6 cm (27") 1920 x 1080 pixels Full HD Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27VQ at £193.96 ex-VAT is a decent “proper budget gaming monitor” if you mainly want a smooth, immersive experience without going anywhere near the price of higher-end 1440p/IPS models. The 27-inch size with a curved VA-style panel tends to suit fast, in-game moments and general desktop use—menus look fine, motion feels more engaging than flat panels, and it’s the sort of monitor you can run day-to-day without feeling like you’re being punished for the price.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this for colour-critical work or for offices where multiple people will view the screen from different angles—the usual VA quirks apply, and Full HD at 27 inches can look a bit soft if you’re picky about sharpness (especially once you’ve seen 1440p). If your use is mostly gaming, and you’re happy staying on Full HD, it’s good value. If you do a lot of design, spreadsheets with lots of small text, or you want top-tier image consistency, I’d look at stepping up to a 1440p option instead.
