ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ5F — 27" WQHD Fast IPS at 220Hz
220Hz (OC) via DisplayPort2560 x 1440 · 95% DCI-P3G-SYNC Compatible · FreeSync Premium2x HDMI 2.1 · DP 1.4
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ5F is a 27-inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) Fast IPS gaming monitor that overclocks to 220Hz with a 0.3ms minimum response time, the sweet spot for players who want a sharper picture than 1080p without giving up high refresh.
At 27 inches, 1440p gives about 109 PPI, so text, spreadsheets and game detail look clearly crisper than on a 27-inch Full HD screen. The 10-bit panel covers 95% DCI-P3, which makes it a good all-rounder for gaming, photos and everyday work.
Before you order: The 220Hz maximum needs DisplayPort. Over HDMI this model is limited to 150Hz (48–150Hz range). A DisplayPort cable is included; an HDMI cable is not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is HDMI limited to 150Hz?
ASUS specifies 48–150Hz on HDMI for this model; only DisplayPort carries the full 220Hz at 1440p.
Is it suitable for PS5 or Xbox Series X?
Yes, through HDMI with VRR/ALLM at compatible resolutions; consoles do not use the 220Hz headroom.
How does it differ from the VG27AQME5F?
The VG27AQME5F reaches 255Hz and uses DisplayPort HBR3; otherwise the panel class and inputs are similar.
