Editor's note
That extra push to 170Hz is a nice bonus over the usual 144. ASUS TUF builds tend to feel sturdy, which matters for something on your desk for years.
Why we picked it
Best for: Budget players who watch in dark rooms and want inky contrast more than perfect viewing angles.
The cheapest sane way to get a 27-inch QHD screen at 170Hz with the deep blacks only a VA panel delivers.
What we like
- + QHD at 170Hz for a budget price
- + High native contrast (around 3000:1) for deep blacks
- + FreeSync Premium plus ELMB for clean motion
- + Shadow Boost helps spot enemies in dark scenes
- + Built-in speakers included
Watch outs
- - VA panel can smear on fast, dark transitions
- - Tilt-only stand with no height adjustment
- - HDR is the checkbox kind, not a real upgrade
- - Viewing angles trail an IPS panel
