TUF Gaming VG279QM 27" Full HD Gaming Monitor – 280Hz Overclock, 1ms GTG, ELMB SYNC

Experience esports-grade speed with the TUF Gaming VG279QM, a 27-inch Full HD gaming monitor engineered for speed and precision. Built on a Fast IPS panel, it delivers crisp colors, broad viewing angles, and minimal motion blur. The highlight is the overclockable refresh rate up to 280Hz, letting you push frame rates beyond standard gaming speeds for ultra-smooth motion and a decisive advantage in competitive titles. The 1ms GTG response time reduces trailing and ghosting during rapid onscreen movements, so fast actions—from precision headshots to rapid sprinting—translate into clearer visuals and quicker target acquisition. Combined with ELMB SYNC and G-SYNC compatibility, you get tear-free gaming with synchronized frame delivery, even when the GPU is delivering variable frame rates. The DisplayHDR 400 certification adds brightness and contrast to highlight details in dark scenes and bright flares, improving immersion during fast-paced action and cinematic sequences. The VG279QM is designed for professional gamers, content creators, and anyone who demands top-tier performance without compromise. Its clean black finish and slim bezels create a modern, distraction-free centerpiece for a high-end gaming setup, while the 27-inch size offers immersive viewing without overwhelming your desk. Whether you’re shredding in a high-stakes shooter, blazing through racing titles, or exploring expansive action-adventure worlds, this monitor is built to keep pace with your reflexes and your ambitions.

• Overclockable 280Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth motion and quicker target reacquisition. Accessing 280Hz requires enabling the overclock option in the OSD and ensuring your system can push exceptional frame rates; in practice, this yields noticeably less motion blur, sharper tracking, and a more responsive feel in fast-paced games like shooters and racers. The result is smoother gunplay, smoother camera panning, and improved visibility during rapid duels, which can translate into decisive advantage in competitive play and ladder matches.
• 1ms GTG response time ensures near-instant pixel transitions and reduced ghosting during rapid onscreen movements. This tight response time helps keep moving targets and fast actions clean, which is crucial for precise aiming, rapid melee exchanges, and cinematic chase scenes where every frame counts. In practice, you’ll notice crisper edges on fast animations and fewer trailing artifacts when you sprint or dodge through bright, high-contrast scenes.
• Fast IPS panel with wide viewing angles and accurate colors provides consistent image quality across a broad seating arrangement. The IPS technology preserves color fidelity and brightness when viewed from the side, so teammates and collaborators can share the screen without color shifting or darkening. This makes the VG279QM ideal for multiplayer sessions, co-op exploits, and content creation where consistent color representation and comfortable viewing angles matter for long gaming marathons or collaborative streaming.
• G-SYNC Compatible and ELMB SYNC deliver tear-free gaming with synchronized frame delivery, while ELMB SYNC actively reduces motion blur in supported scenarios. When paired with a compatible NVIDIA GPU, you’ll experience smooth, stutter-free visuals even at high frame rates, and the motion-blur reduction helps you identify fast-moving enemies or projectiles with greater precision. This combination is especially beneficial in esports titles and fast action games where timing and frame consistency can decide outcomes.
• DisplayHDR 400 certified brightness and contrast for more dynamic visuals. HDR support enhances highlights and shadows, revealing detail in bright explosions and dark corners alike, which can elevate the realism of HDR-enabled games and cinematic scenes. In practice, you’ll notice more depth in lighting, richer contrast in dim scenes, and a more immersive overall visual experience, particularly in action-heavy sequences where lighting plays a critical role in readability and atmosphere.

how to install TUF Gaming VG279QM

• Unbox and inspect the monitor and stand for any shipping damage. Remove protective films carefully and lay out the stand, screws, and cables before starting to ensure a smooth setup.
• Assemble the stand or prepare a VESA-compatible mounting solution. Attach the stand securely to the monitor and tighten screws in a cross pattern to ensure stability and minimize wobble for everyday use or intense gaming sessions.
• Connect the video cable and power supply. Use DisplayPort or HDMI for video input and a reliable power source. Confirm that your graphics card and system can push the high frame rates needed to access the 280Hz potential; ensure you have adequate USB or peripheral connections if you use features that require them.
• Power on the monitor and access the On-Screen Display (OSD). Choose the desired input source, adjust brightness, contrast, color temperature, and enable HDR if your content supports it. If you plan to use G-SYNC, verify the GPU is configured in the graphics control panel and that overclock settings are correctly enabled in the OSD.
• Test with fast-paced games or benchmarks. Verify the 280Hz overclock is active, fine-tune color settings to your preference, and experiment with ELMB SYNC and motion-smoothing options to achieve the look you want for your gameplay style while maintaining comfort during long sessions.
