Our take
The ASUS TUF VG27AQL1A is a well-rounded gaming monitor. The 170Hz refresh and 1ms response are excellent for competitive gaming, and the 1440p resolution hits a great balance between sharpness and performance. The QLED panel offers good color accuracy with 1.07 billion colors, making it suitable for both gaming and media consumption. The 400 nits brightness is average, but fine for most use. The stand is fully height-adjustable. The only con is the 1000:1 contrast which is typical for IPS, so blacks aren't deep. For $317, it's a solid choice.
