Ultra-Fast 240Hz IPS Panel for Competitive Gaming

The VG279QM5A features a fast-IPS panel that delivers exceptional colour accuracy with 99% sRGB coverage, making it ideal for both competitive gaming and content creation. The 240Hz refresh rate ensures buttery-smooth motion in fast-paced games, while the 0.3ms response time eliminates ghosting and motion blur. This combination provides the responsiveness needed for FPS, racing, and other high-speed gaming genres where every millisecond counts.

G-SYNC Compatible & FreeSync Premium Support

Equipped with both NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium technology, this monitor eliminates screen tearing and stuttering across different GPU platforms. The VESA Adaptive Sync support ensures tear-free gaming whether you’re using an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card. This versatility means you can enjoy smooth gameplay regardless of your hardware configuration, making it a future-proof investment for your gaming setup.

HDR10 & ELMB Sync Technology

With HDR10 support and ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) Sync technology, the VG279QM5A delivers enhanced visual clarity and contrast. HDR10 brings out more detail in bright and dark scenes, while ELMB Sync allows you to enable both motion blur reduction and adaptive sync simultaneously – a feature not commonly found in gaming monitors. This dual technology approach ensures sharp, clear images even during the most intense gaming moments.

Eye Care & Ergonomic Design

The monitor incorporates ASUS Eye Care technology with Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free features to reduce eye strain during extended gaming sessions. The ergonomic stand offers tilt adjustment from -5° to 23°, allowing you to find the perfect viewing angle for comfortable gameplay.
