Our take
The ASUS PG279Q is a well-known gaming monitor, and for good reason. The 165Hz refresh rate combined with 1440p resolution provides a great balance of smoothness and clarity. The IPS panel delivers vibrant colors and wide viewing angles, which also makes it suitable for graphic design. The 4ms response time is slightly slower than some competitors' 1ms panels, but it's still very responsive.

Overall, it's a reliable choice for both gaming and creative work.
