Just a little thing; at 3:02 you mention the different game visual modes and how “fps” was a preset that increased your frames, this is not the case. They are merely visuals (like the name) and help for said games in terms of visibility. The fps (for first person shooters) mode makes it easier to see the darker spots of the monitor and more center focused, racing for seeing the car and others

[@moobalol]

Still a good buy now tbh I've had it for years and still love it.

[@lennon401]

i have found a used one of these for only $120 and for that price i dont think u can go wrong

[@zLusso]

I got mine, but there’s no response time option. Is it already at the fastest response time? It’s kind of annoying

[@MightOfChrist]

It's the trace free option.

One more question please: The Amazon description lists under Special Features a built in webcam. I have not seen this mentioned in any reviews. Can you please confirm whether or not a webcam is included?

[@SHELTECH4]

No webcam

[@glennover6046]

Can you remove the stand for vesa mounting? At 1:35 it looks like there might be covered holes for that purpose.

[@SHELTECH4]

Yes You Can!

[@mubz4285]

can you see/feel the difference between 0.5 and 1ms, not sure if i should get 0.5 or 1ms for my ps5

[@SHELTECH4]

Honestly I don't think you will see a difference. Although if you are a competion gamer you may want and know how that .5ms will give you an advantage

[@nikolakrstic9796]

does the monitor support hdmi 144hz?

[@dxrkware]

HDMI Is only Supporting up to 120 Hz.

[@banned5243]

One question sir, new to monitors but will this connect/work with a ps5?

[@AadiGreninja]

Yea. On the website it’s shows a picture of a PS4 controller so it should work. But still double check it

[@jfps1337]

Does this monitor have less backlight or 'glow' than IPS monitors? I bought two IPS and the IPS glow gets in the way a lot, I don't care much about colors.

[@SHELTECH4]

It does have have a glow

Pls this monitor can do in ps5? ​@@SHELTECH4

Would you still recommend purchasing this monitor? I just purchased it today but I’m having second thoughts as it seems quite outdated. My price range is anywhere between 3-400

[@GAMERBOY-vj6tg]

Hey I’m planning to buy this one but I saw on the Amazon review that the brightness is low and like dead pixel or something?

[@SHELTECH4]

No dead pixels for me and brightness is good for a budget monitor. I use as my secondary monitor in my setup now though not for gaming.

[@Yaman1k]

can work?

[@simplypowpow]

Do you need a actual PC for the monitor?

[@SHELTECH4]

You can use with PS4, Xbox, Mac, firestick etc.

[@Teniolaaaaaaa]

thinking of potentially getting this vg278r because i wanna start playing a few games, but is the image quality also good for movies and like doing normal stuffs on the monitor like typing a document since its a gaming monitor?

[@SHELTECH4]

I find it just as good as any 1080p monitor. Great for gaming and able to do regular work and movies. Of course not as good as a 4K monitor

[@milkthecow12131]

Do you recommend the ASUS VG278QR 27” OR GIGABYTE G27F 2 - 27"

[@SHELTECH4]

They seem so similar. I haven’t looked at the G27F. I am happy with my Asus but I would probably got with what is on sale between the two to make my decision.

[@wolfangblade2597]

What u think for the ps5 just want something that’s pretty good when it comes to pic cod

[@AllRounder-ur7hy]

Do not buy this for ps5 beacuse you will get only 60fps at 1080p with hdmi port , it only supports 165hz with display port which is not available on ps5

hi thqnk you for the video. between asus vg279q1r vs qsus vg27vq zhqt do you recommend buying ? and finally is this vg278qr good for gaming because it is TN?

[@SHELTECH4]

I thing the 278qr is great for gaming especially for FPS games. I would probably go with the q1r if I had a choice because it is an IPS monitor so you will get a better picture and colors if that matters too you.

[@neks240]

I was thinking of buying this one because I already have an asus 144 hz 24' inchest TN monitor, I've had it for years, and it was perfect. Wanted to upgrade it, bought a 27 inch 2k LG monitor IPS, but the ghosting was incredibly noticeable and also color bleeding at the edges and awfully bad black due to the IPS technology were really a turn off. I returned the product. I read IPS monitors between 200-300 dollars have almost all these issues, VA screens have them too sometimes. < The only thing that prevents me from buying this one is the fact that is a full HD and not a 2k, are the image quality good anyway, or are the pixels too noticeable?

[@SHELTECH4]

Coming from better resolution monitors you will notice more pixels especially if you are using this monitor next to sa 1440p or 4k. But during gameplay I appreciated the responsiveness and didn't notice the pixels too much.

[@Vectures]

@@SHELTECH4 In my experience it doesnt have to always be crystal perfect vision to get a nice frames.

TN are the best to play at night or in the dark i return 3 monitor 2x ips white spot (ips glow) on each corner and 1x va panel alot off smearing ( black shadow ) not fast bad color get TN no one like TN but me YES !

I think you should take your time and go for 27" going down in size will be a disappointment in the long run. You will notice the size difference going from 29 to 24. There are plenty of sales during Prime day of 27 monitors and I am pretty sure you will find an awesome deal
