Performance Excellence
The VG27AQML1A is built for high-frame-rate gaming. Its overclockable refresh rate (up to 260 Hz) paired with a 1 ms gray-to-gray response time minimizes input lag and motion blur, translating into snappier visuals and more accurate target tracking in competitive titles.
Adaptive Sync compatibility keeps frame pacing smooth across a range of GPU outputs, so you experience fewer tears and stutters whether you're pushing 240+ FPS or dropping into CPU/GPU limited scenes.
User Experience & Comfort
Ergonomic flexibility (height, tilt, swivel, pivot) allows you to create an optimal viewing position for long sessions. The anti-glare coating, flicker-free technology, and low blue light modes help reduce eye fatigue during extended gaming or work periods.
OSD controls and ASUS DisplayWidget software make calibration and game profile management simple, so you can quickly switch presets for different genres or creative tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this monitor actually reach 260 Hz?
A: The native refresh rate is 240 Hz; ASUS provides an overclock option that can push the panel to 260 Hz in supported configurations (using DisplayPort and compatible GPU/drivers).
Q: Is it compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs?
A: Yes. The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium and is NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, enabling variable refresh across both platforms when drivers and firmware support VRR.
Q: Is DisplayHDR 400 "true HDR"?
A: DisplayHDR 400 improves brightness and contrast for HDR content compared to SDR, but it is an entry HDR tier. It enhances visuals meaningfully, though higher HDR tiers (e.g., 600/1000) offer greater peak brightness and contrast.
