Abstract: So what separates a ‘gaming monitor' from your normal display? Usually, one or more of the following: Playing games at 120Hz or 144Hz allows you to play them at 120fps or 144fps, and with twice the frequency of updates everything feels more fluid, smooth...
Consistently good image quality, AMD FreeSync and 144Hz operation, Genre-specific game modes, Good control and ergonomic options
Rival from BenQ has more features, A little more expensive than the competition
Asus MG279Q – Image Quality Factory tests indicate that the Asus impresses with its image quality as well as its features. The first result that caught my eye was the 330 nit brightness level, which is stonking – it's enough to illuminate games in any sce...

144Hz, FreeSync, IPS panel, QHD resolution, Relatively low price, Superior offaxis image quality to typical IPS screens
90Hz limit on FreeSync, No ULMB
While we didn't find the 90Hz FreeSync limit to be a problem, we would rather see it implemented to the full 144Hz rate the monitor is capable of. Still, we had a hard time finding a fault with the MG279Q during gameplay or any other use for that matter...
FreeSync gaming monitor with IPS panel technology, Can hit 144Hz when not in FreeSync mode, Great picture quality, with superb brightness and contrast, Improved frequency support than most FreeSync displays
FreeSync limited to 90Hz at the upper end, No HDMI 2.0, No PIP mode
The MG279Q bears more than a few similarities to the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q, a feature-packed 27-inch TN panel, but also one of the most expensive G-Sync displays. The MG279Q shaves about 20 per cent off its cost, while still offering most of the features...

High quality IPS panel, Well-equipped stand, Best FreeSync IPS monitor yet
Not 144Hz with FreeSync
The Asus MG279Q is shipping for about £490 in the UK. Readers should consider that 27in TN-based QHD monitors start at approximately £280 while IPS-based equivalents at around £300. However, both aforementioned starting prices are for 60Hz panels lacking...

Very good response times and high refresh support from an IPS-type panel, FreeSync support works nicely, and without affecting overdrive, Much lower cost than G-sync equivalent
Missing a blur reduction mode, IPS Glow may still be off-putting to some people, Lag a bit higher than hoped at lower refresh rates
We know how excited people were to get a detailed review of this monitor as quickly as possible, so we decided to release this as a full review straight away. We worked overtime to bring you this quickly as well so if you appreciate the early access to th...
Abstract: A monitor which I've had my eye on for a long time has now had an update. Today over at AMD's Twitter, they announced that the MG279Q will now support FreeSync through the DisplayPort 1.2a interface.When the monitor was announced, Asus did not class it as...
