I was unsure whether to get this one or the VG279Q because of the price difference, but after reading TechReviewer's article Is the Asus 27" VG279QL1A Good for Gaming?, I decided to go for the VG279QL1A. It has better response time and a higher refresh rate than its sibling, making it more suitable for eSports.

I've used the Asus VG279QL1A for a few months now and can say that it's an excellent monitor, especially for eSports games! The 165Hz refresh rate makes it perfect for fast-paced games.

@slipstream55, you're right about its performance. I have the same monitor, and I've noticed that the response time of 1ms also helps a lot in reducing lag during intense gaming sessions. Plus, the color quality is fantastic as well.

That's interesting! So, you're saying that this monitor is better for competitive gaming due to its 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time? Is there any other factor I should consider?

Yes, the specs are indeed great for eSports. But remember, having a high-refresh-rate monitor also demands a high-end graphics card to fully take advantage of it. Apart from that, you might want to check if it has an adjustable stand as well, since some monitors can be quite uncomfortable to use after long gaming sessions.

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely consider those factors when making my decision. By the way, @slipstream55, how's the build quality of the monitor? Is it durable?

The build quality is excellent. I've had no issues with durability so far. It's also quite lightweight and easy to move around if needed.

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing your experiences with this monitor. I think I'll go ahead and get one!

Awesome! Let us know how you like it once you've set it up. Good luck in your eSports journey!

Will do! Thanks again, everyone!
