ASUS VG279QM5A Reviews

Great monitor

Works great HDR on this monitor is top notch and even though this monitor is 1080p it does a upscaled 4K if you have a 4K device in it

Basic monitor

I don’t like this monitor because the display port and HDMI input ports are not easy to access. The monitor does not have ability to move up or down, it only have a tilt. Monitor doesn’t instantly recognize Nvidia GPU and I struggle to activate the Nvidia feature.
