Abstract: Asus' MG279Q is an appealing FreeSync display. It's got a 27", 2560x1440 IPS panel with a refresh rate of 144Hz. Our own Gyromancer (Nathan Wasson) has been spending some quality time with this display in Damage Labs, and he's summed up his impressions in...
Abstract: Most of the hardware you are using to build your new gaming desktop PC is somehow “pre-chosen” or you are at least well aware of what you want in your setup. When it comes to CPUs, the only options are AMD or Intel and the same goes for the GPUs – NVIDIA...

After using the ASUS MG279Q gaming monitor for a couple weeks we have found ourselves really enjoying the new monitor. The image quality and viewing angles on this IPS panel are impressive! We've been gaming on the ASUS ROG Swift PG287Q NVIDIA G-Sync moni...
Finally a 1440P IPS FreeSync panel, FreeSync mode functions down to 35Hz (other panels bottom at 40Hz or higher), Nice design, borrowing many cues from the ROG Swift, No external power brick needed
FreeSync mode limited to 90Hz on the high side, FreeSync still has a variable refresh bottom limit
We were pleasantly surprised with the ASUS MG279Q. The build quality exceeds all other FreeSync displays tested to date. The IPS-type 1440P display offers great color reproduction and viewing angles, and is capable of 144Hz maximum (static) refresh rates...
Abstract: So what separates a ‘gaming monitor' from your normal display? Usually, one or more of the following: Playing games at 120Hz or 144Hz allows you to play them at 120fps or 144fps, and with twice the frequency of updates everything feels more fluid, smooth...
Consistently good image quality, AMD FreeSync and 144Hz operation, Genre-specific game modes, Good control and ergonomic options
Rival from BenQ has more features, A little more expensive than the competition
Asus MG279Q – Image Quality Factory tests indicate that the Asus impresses with its image quality as well as its features. The first result that caught my eye was the 330 nit brightness level, which is stonking – it's enough to illuminate games in any sce...

144Hz, FreeSync, IPS panel, QHD resolution, Relatively low price, Superior offaxis image quality to typical IPS screens
90Hz limit on FreeSync, No ULMB
While we didn't find the 90Hz FreeSync limit to be a problem, we would rather see it implemented to the full 144Hz rate the monitor is capable of. Still, we had a hard time finding a fault with the MG279Q during gameplay or any other use for that matter...
FreeSync gaming monitor with IPS panel technology, Can hit 144Hz when not in FreeSync mode, Great picture quality, with superb brightness and contrast, Improved frequency support than most FreeSync displays
FreeSync limited to 90Hz at the upper end, No HDMI 2.0, No PIP mode
The MG279Q bears more than a few similarities to the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q, a feature-packed 27-inch TN panel, but also one of the most expensive G-Sync displays. The MG279Q shaves about 20 per cent off its cost, while still offering most of the features...
