Should I Buy It?

If you are a gamer looking for improved color coverage, response time, and native Gsync module, this monitor would be suitable.

Make sure to check compatibility with any mounts you may want to use. Consider the price versus performance benefits carefully before making the final decision.


  • Amazing Gaming Monitor, Never Had Any Issues
I purchased this monitor over 2 years ago in November 2021, and I've been very happy with it. The resolution/image quality and latency are superb, in my opinion. This has been my primary monitor since I've purchased it, using it at least a few times a week, and I've never had any issues with it. Assuming your PC can handle it, this monitor has worked great for playing anything from Red Dead Redemption 2 to the latest Call of Duty games at 1440p. You may occasionally need to adjust the graphics settings in the specific game you're playing, but that's due to the game being poorly optimized, and this monitor always displays a great image once that's taken care of. Two things I'll note which are not necessarily cons for me and my use case, but I wanted to mention them. Firstly, this is obviously an expensive monitor, and it's possible that you're looking for something less expensive that still ticks some of the same boxes as this one (just not all of them). So, if this monitor feels a little bit too expensive, that's fair. I purchased it with the intent that I wouldn't have to worry if my monitor display would be very high-quality at 1440p and there would be very low latency for FPS-games. The second thing I'll note is that while the stand is clearly very high quality, it's also a little awkward. It hasn't been an issue for me, and it can be easily addressed with a monitor arm/mount, but it's worth mentioning if you plan to use it in a confined space or a space with awkward dimensions. Overall, this monitor is great and I've been so happy with it. ... show more

  • Best Display I’ve ever owned
The PG279QM is the best display I’ve owned and was worth every penny. - Pros: • fantastic, detailed picture • best in class colors • the native g-sync module flawlessly handles changes in frame rate. New World at 1440p and max settings (for example) will regularly swing between 60 and 125 fps depending on what’s going on in the game at that moment. The PG279QM is silky smooth and can handle such drastic swings in FPS without showing any immersion breaking tears, lag or stutters. • you can fully edit brightness and all display settings when in sRGB mode • Surprisingly bright for just HDR400 • ASUS Aura Sync ARGB compatibility -Cons: • there is noticeable backlight bleed on all black screens (such as when you turn on the monitor). Turning off the variable backlight setting can get rid of this, but it hasn’t been a big issue for me. • HDR400 with 16 local dimming zones isn’t true HDR. You’re not going to get an OLED or FALD IPS experience here. Summary: if you want best in class refresh rate but don’t want to sacrifice on image or color quality, look no further. ... show more

  • Amazing
No dead pixels. Motion handling at 240hz is excellent in games like Valorant and Fortnite. Comes pre calibrated, colors and picture quality look great. I wouldn’t use the local dimming or HDR, as it is not a great implementation. That said, I knew that going in to buying this so I was not disappointed After getting a Gigabyte M27q-X trying to save some money, it had so many issues (dead pixels, refresh rate would randomly lock to 49hz, etc) that I returned it. Asus has always been reliable, and this monitor is no different. Definitely worth the extra $ ... show more

  • Great gaming monitor
Got three of these for gaming setup, and liked them so much that I ended up buying two more for my office. The one and only problem with this design is that the default brightness and contrast settings if you do a factory reset on the device are way too high.

  • Great panel, but has some very annoying shortcomings
Negatives: I came from the Dell s2417dg monitor which had notoriously terrible color banding, and the Asus Pg279qm does not do much better in my experience. I could not believe my eyes when I saw some videos, pictures, and games exhibit this flaw. It is most apparent in darker shades of colors. I am too lazy to post pictures, but in the game Valorant, when I look at the walls in the map Haven, I see gradient banding that I never noticed before on my old monitor. In some instances of watching videos and playing games that has darker shades of the sky or shadow, I start seeing a posterization effect, and is as annoying as it was on my Dell. Next thing I want to talk about is contrast. Contrast is very meh, but it is expected of IPS technology of todays. What is annoying however is that the contrast on my unit is lower than advertised. I have calibrated it with a colorchecker display pro, and the best contrast I could achieve was 970. Now, it is very close to its advertised 1000 ratio, but this is a setting that goes a long way even if it's a 30 number difference. Also, on the Lagom black level test, this panel was unable to separately display the difference between the 3 levels of blackest boxes. This leads to a bit of crushed blacks in all content, but it is something I can tolerate because it is not as bad as my Dell. The only way to see all boxes on the Lagom test is to use the black level boost function in the osd settings, but it washes out the image at its max level. I really wish this display had a better contrast, even if it's only by a bit. When it comes to the HDR400, I don't think it's good or even functions because of the terrible local-dimming. Most notorious reviewers say it's bad, so don't buy this expecting anything out of its HDR. Lastly, I want to mention text clarity and. It is bad. Like I couldn't focus my eyes on any text at the panel's native resolution at 100% scaling. I did not have this problem with my Dell once again. And I have to mention that my vision is not bad by any means as my optometrist tested that it is only a little off from 20/20. There is a workaround for this problem, and it is to use windows Cleartype fuction, along with windows 150% custom scaling. Text is much better after the change in settings, and my eyes can finally relax. Positives: -Great color coverage, a definite upgrade over my Dell. Proper sRGB mode that will please the creators that need it. One of the widest wide gammut monitors available right now. -Native Gsync module. No clear noticeable overshoot/ghosting in any games I've played. But according to Hardware unboxed, in the 165-200 range of fps, overshoot rates are higher. I don't play my games at those refresh ranges, so I can't comment on this. -Response time and input-lag are very good; I noticed the difference coming from my Dell. Final Thoughts: Nvidia's RLA feature is something that I don't use because I play my competitive games at low settings anyways to ensure the lowest amount of latency and stutter while retaining consistency in image smoothness. I say this because this monitor's price is definitely influenced by the inclusion of this feature and Gsync. If you do not care about RLA and Gsync, while also finding the annoyances I mentioned above to be too much, I recommend looking at the Asus Xg27aqm or the Acer XB273U GXbmiipruzx as those two are on average 300USD cheaper than this monitor while still having 240/270hzOverclock/1440p resolution. Since I never tried what I suggested above, I can't guarantee you won't run into the same negatives I mentioned at the beginning of the review. PS: my unit came has 1 stuck pixel and a noticeable backlight bleed on one corner and it's got me really thinking about returning it. With the 900USD msrp, I really expect better quality control. ... show more
