  • Consistently good image quality, AMD FreeSync and 144Hz operation, Genre-specific game modes, Good control and ergonomic options
  • Rival from BenQ has more features, A little more expensive than the competition
  • Asus MG279Q – Image Quality Factory tests indicate that the Asus impresses with its image quality as well as its features. The first result that caught my eye was the 330 nit brightness level, which is stonking – it's enough to illuminate games in any sce...

  • 144Hz, FreeSync, IPS panel, QHD resolution, Relatively low price, Superior offaxis image quality to typical IPS screens
  • 90Hz limit on FreeSync, No ULMB
  • While we didn't find the 90Hz FreeSync limit to be a problem, we would rather see it implemented to the full 144Hz rate the monitor is capable of. Still, we had a hard time finding a fault with the MG279Q during gameplay or any other use for that matter...

  • FreeSync gaming monitor with IPS panel technology, Can hit 144Hz when not in FreeSync mode, Great picture quality, with superb brightness and contrast, Improved frequency support than most FreeSync displays
  • FreeSync limited to 90Hz at the upper end, No HDMI 2.0, No PIP mode
  • The MG279Q bears more than a few similarities to the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q, a feature-packed 27-inch TN panel, but also one of the most expensive G-Sync displays. The MG279Q shaves about 20 per cent off its cost, while still offering most of the features...

  • High quality IPS panel, Well-equipped stand, Best FreeSync IPS monitor yet
  • Not 144Hz with FreeSync
  • The Asus MG279Q is shipping for about £490 in the UK. Readers should consider that 27in TN-based QHD monitors start at approximately £280 while IPS-based equivalents at around £300. However, both aforementioned starting prices are for 60Hz panels lacking...

  • We know how excited people were to get a detailed review of this monitor as quickly as possible, so we decided to release this as a full review straight away. We worked overtime to bring you this quickly as well so if you appreciate the early access to th...

  • High Refresh Rate of 144Hz, AMD Freesync compatible, IPS Panel for better viewing angles
  • Speakers are weak, Freesync only works at 60Hz, Plain design,
  • Our MG279Q review has touched on all the main features of this monitor. We've found it to be a competent choice with some upmarket features like 144Hz refresh rate, Freesync technology, and quick response times. Most people won't bother using the tiny spe...

  • Freesync and 144Hz enables high quality gaming, Highly adjustable stand, Ergonomic design and good add-on features, Great connectivity and a hassle-free OSD,
  • Priced at around $500, this is slightly expensive, 90Hz limit on the Freesync, The speakers are a bit tiny and not the best we have n on a gaming monitor

  • Messiah, Fast; customizable; solid build quality
  • Very Naughty Boy, Not exactly cheap; FreeSync doesn't play nicely with overdrive; not as spectacular as a superside of 4K screen
  • An excellent IPS display that's a great choice for AMD/FreeSync users...
