Aimed at a budget-friendly segment, the ASUS VG series are monitors with fast refresh rates that offers gamers a chance to improve their gaming experience. The VG258QR and the VG278QR sports a lightning-fast 165Hz refresh rate and a 0.5ms response time.

The VG279Q, meanwhile, sticks to a traditional 144Hz refresh rate although its display is based on an IPS panel. This means that viewing angles won’t be a problem with this monitor.
All three monitors are compatible with AMD’s Radeon FreeSync that allows them to remove screen tearing from the gaming equation. Although not advertised, it has been mentioned that all three monitors have been tested to work with NVIDIA’s G-SYNC as well.
