Overview
The ASUS VA279HG is a 27-inch Full HD monitor designed for office productivity, home computing, education, and casual gaming. Its LED-backlit IPS panel delivers a native resolution of 1920 × 1080, typical brightness of 300 cd/m², and 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles. The anti-glare display surface helps reduce distracting reflections in indoor environments.
With a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz and a 1 ms MPRT response-time specification, the VA279HG provides smoother motion for scrolling, video playback, and compatible games. Adaptive-Sync variable refresh rate technology helps reduce screen tearing when paired with compatible graphics hardware. ASUS GamePlus, Motion Sync, and Trace Free features provide additional display options for supported workloads.
Connectivity includes one HDMI 1.4 input and one VGA input, supporting modern and legacy computer systems. A headphone output is available for private audio listening, but the monitor does not include built-in speakers. ASUS Eye Care features include Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light technologies, while the stand provides tilt adjustment. A 100 × 100 mm VESA mounting pattern supports compatible monitor arms and wall mounts.
The VA279HG is suitable for general productivity and entry-level gaming. Its 1920 × 1080 resolution on a 27-inch panel provides a larger viewing area, but users requiring higher pixel density for detailed design work or extensive screen space may prefer a QHD monitor.
