ASUS VG32VQ1B Reviews

Great price but not a great gaming monitor

By ZaSho
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2026-02-07

Recently purchased this monitor to add to my setup. The price was great and mounting it felt decently balanced on my desk mount. This being a VA monitor I had already assumed some quality issues with gaming or streaming. The color quality is decent. However, when gaming the screen ghosting is terrible especially in low lighting situations such as night raids on Tarkov or Arc Raiders. I have ensured all drivers are up to date on my PC and tweaked all settings on the monitor to get it the best i can. I will end up giving this and my TUF27 to a family member to use with their computer who games less than I do when I can afford replacements.

Nice monitor! Get your cable ahead of time

Nice monitor. Good price. Great specs. Had a real issue figuring out which cable to purchase for the usb-c to Display Port. The info talks about the Thunderbolt & USB 4. Then online it's all about frequencies and speed. Marketing noise. The monitor docs should have links to the specific cable.
