WHY WE LOVE IT
The VG279QE5A is designed for gamers who value smooth performance and visual clarity. The 27-inch Full HD size is perfect—large enough for an immersive gaming experience, yet small enough to keep everything in view. The overclocked 146Hz refresh rate guarantees smooth motion, and the IPS panel provides a wide viewing angle for a consistent visual experience, no matter where you sit.
ELMB Sync technology is a game-changer: Unlike monitors that force you to choose between low motion blur and adaptive sync, this technology gives you both—eliminating ghosting during fast movements and screen tearing in intense scenes. Shadow Boost technology provides an additional advantage in games like Call of Duty: Warzone by brightening the shadows of the map, helping you spot enemies hidden in the dark without over-brightening the lighter areas.
With 125% sRGB, this monitor offers more colors than entry-level products, delivering richer hues for gaming and content watching. Personalize settings with ease via the DisplayWidget Center—just a few clicks to overclock the refresh rate to 146Hz for competitive gaming or scale it down to 60Hz for casual play. Built with TUF’s robust reliability, it withstands long training sessions and tournament setups, making it a trusted choice for serious gamers.
