Introduction

TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A is a 27-inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) HDR IPS display with an ultrafast 170Hz refresh rate. Designed for gamers and others seeking immersive gameplay, it offers some serious specs. But there's more ...
TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A also features exclusive ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) technology. ELMB SYNC enables motion blur reduction and adaptive-sync technologies to run simultaneously for super smooth gameplay.

Extreme detail and accurate color
The WQHD (2560 x 1440) panel in TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A delivers up to 77% more onscreen desktop space than standard Full HD (1920 x 1080) displays. Thanks to integrated IPS technology, it provides superior imagery with outstanding color across 130% of the sRGB gamut, an astounding 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and 178° viewing angles with minimal distortion and color shift.

refresh rate
An impressive 170Hz* refresh rate eliminates lag and motion blur to give you the upper hand in first-person shooter, racing, real-time strategy, and sports titles. This ultrafast refresh rate lets you play at the highest visual settings and react instantly to what's onscreen.

*Select graphics cards/GPUs can support 170Hz graphics source output (via DisplayPort). Please note that overclocking function/performance depends on the GPU or content displayed. Actual real-world performance is hardware-dependent.

Enjoy super-smooth gameplay
ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) makes it possible to enable motion blur and adaptive-sync technologies at the same time, eliminating ghosting and tearing to ensure incredibly sharp visuals at high frame rates while gaming. Extreme Low Motion Blur technology (ELMB) provides a 1 millisecond Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT)* to eliminate smearing and motion blur. It also makes moving objects appear even sharper, and gameplay is more fluid and responsive.

*1 ms MPRT is based on internal test results. Actual response time may vary in real world settings.
