Review: Great screen - Upgrading from 60hz monitor to this was a huge difference. I like the screen the colors the build quality the equipments everything is so good. I received the package with little tears but overall it was great. I had one issue when overclocking to 170hz the monitor will start flickering every couple of minutes only while connecting 2 monitors. After a couple of research and adjustments I changed the second monitor DP cable to a thicker and stronger DP cable and it was fixed. The brightness on the monitor is more then any gamer needs especially if you play in a dark room it’s perfect. Overall it’s a great monitor and if you can buy it during sales it’s a perfect deal.
Review: ONE OF THE BEST GAMEING MONITOR I'VE TRIED - Literally this is one of the best monitor that I've ever tried it, the only issue is the base, you can't move the base very well, if you paid that much of money you should have the base that we always used to see it from ASUS and you can control and cover every single C.M in front of the monitor.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have vesa mounting points? If so what size.**
A: The monitor has the vesa mount standard 100x100mm. You can take this mount > topproducts24com/mounting-dream-md2463/ < I'm very happy with it.

**Q: How much better is this compared to the previous vg27aq (155hz model)?**
A: The VG27AQ isn't a "previous model", these are two separate models that are both still being manufactured and offered by ASUS - the VG27AQ features a more advanced IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel whereas the lower priced VG27BQ has what is considered to be an older, lesser technology, a TN (Twisted Nematic) panel that generally has lower quality color reproduction and restricted viewing angles. The benefit of a TN is a faster response time and less smearing, but the newer IPS panels have much better response times than the first few generations. So technically, this monitor is considered to be a step-down in quality, more of a budget monitor than the other one, although both provide excellent value for their feature set.  Hopefully this helps answer your question.

**Q: Is the included display port cable capable of running the monitor 1440p @ 165/170 Hz?**
A: The included dp cable works fine for me. Looks real nice with HDR and I’m still able to get 170fps on COD Warzone. I honestly can’t feel a difference coming from a 240hz Benq monitor but I can sure see a difference, it’s like night and day

**Q: Does this have 3.5mm port for outputting audio?**
A: Yes, mine has it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loving this Monitor!
*by F***I on 3 October 2024*

I really love this monitor as I got it couple of months ago and it has been such an upgrade in my setup. If you’re considering it please go for it the quality of it is amazing, the size is decent not small or too big its just perfect. The colors can be adjusted such as FPS mode Scenery Racing etc. I’m currently using it as a main monitor and my 2nd monitor is Samsung odyssey g3.
