Three hundred hertz on a 27-inch QHD panel is a genuinely rare combination — most monitors at this refresh rate drop to 1080p, which means you're either sacrificing resolution for speed or speed for clarity. The VG27AQM5A refuses that trade-off, pairing a 2560x1440 Fast IPS panel with ASUS's ELMB Sync technology, which allows motion blur reduction and adaptive sync to run simultaneously — something that matters enormously in fast-paced competitive titles where ghosting and screen tear can cost you reactions you didn't know you were losing.

Who Is This For?

This monitor is built for the competitive PC gamer who has outgrown 144Hz and plays titles like Valorant, CS2, or Apex Legends at high frame rates on a capable GPU — ideally an RTX 3080 or above to actually push QHD content past 200fps consistently. The 95% DCI-P3 colour coverage also makes it usable for light creative work, which is a genuine bonus. If you're a casual gamer or playing at 60fps on older hardware, you will not notice the difference and should spend considerably less.

What Buyers Say

Owners of this panel consistently praise the motion clarity and the responsiveness at high frame rates, with many noting the Fast IPS panel avoids the washed-out look common on TN competitors. The built-in stereo speakers attract consistent criticism — they're adequate for system sounds but lack the depth for any serious use, so budget for headphones or desktop speakers regardless. A minority of buyers also report backlight bleed on the lower corners, which is worth checking on arrival.

The Deal

At £223.00, down from £299.00, you're saving £76.00 — a 25% reduction. This product is newly tracked on our site, so we can't confirm whether £299.00 represents a genuine long-term average or a reference price, which means caution is warranted.

Frequently Asked Questions

The VG27AQM5A runs at 2560x1440 (QHD) resolution with a native 300 Hz refresh rate, and it supports both AMD FreeSync Premium and is G-Sync Compatible, so it works with both major GPU brands without issue. The 1 ms response time is achieved via ASUS's ELMB (Extreme Low Motion Blur) technology, though note that ELMB and variable refresh rate cannot be active simultaneously on this panel.

This monitor is best suited to competitive gamers who prioritise fluid, fast motion over colour accuracy — the 300 Hz refresh rate and Fast IPS panel make it excellent for FPS titles like Valorant or CS2. The built-in speakers are functional but thin-sounding, so anyone expecting usable audio output for music or cinematic games will be disappointed and should budget for external speakers or a headset.

This product has only just been added to our tracking, so we have no historical pricing data to confirm whether £223 represents the lowest it has sold for or a temporary dip. What we can confirm is that the listed discount is 25% off a £299 RRP, which is a meaningful reduction — but we'd recommend watching it for a few weeks to establish whether this price holds or drops further before committing.

The LG 27GP850-B is a strong rival at comparable pricing, also offering QHD and a Fast IPS panel, but it tops out at 180 Hz versus the ASUS's 300 Hz — a significant advantage if you're playing at high frame rates in competitive titles. The LG does have a stronger reputation for out-of-the-box colour accuracy, so if you split your time between gaming and colour-sensitive creative work, the LG may serve you better; pure competitive gamers should favour the ASUS for the higher refresh ceiling.
