This monitor is purpose-built for esports athletes and enthusiasts who demand peak performance from their hardware.
• Fast IPS panel for color precision and wide viewing angles – The Fast IPS technology behind the VG279QM1A ensures outstanding color accuracy and consistency from multiple viewing angles. You’ll enjoy vibrant, true-to-life colors with 100% sRGB coverage, which means your games, movies, and creative work look rich and natural. The IPS construction also minimizes color shifting when you tilt or pivot the monitor, so teammates and you can share the screen without losing accuracy. This makes the VG279QM1A a strong choice for gamers who also dabble in content creation or who want excellent color performance for cinematic games and media.
• ELMB Sync for motion clarity with adaptive sync – ELMB Sync combines ultra-low motion blur with synchronized frame delivery for smooth, clean images during rapid action. This feature works in tandem with adaptive sync technologies to reduce blur in fast-moving scenes while preserving the benefits of variable refresh rates. In practice, you’ll notice crisper shots, smoother transitions, and richer detail in motion-heavy games—without sacrificing the tear-free experience that adaptive sync delivers.
• Freesync Premium and G-Sync compatibility for tear-free gaming – The VG279QM1A supports Freesync Premium and is G-Sync compatible, giving you flexible, tear-free gaming across a wide range of GPUs, including both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. This means less stutter, fewer artifacts, and a more immersive experience across your favorite titles. Combined with Variable Overdrive that helps modulate response times to maintain crisp images at high frame rates, you’ll enjoy consistent performance whether you’re sprinting through battlefields or rallying through a race track.
• HDR-ready visuals and robust color performance – While the primary strength of this monitor is speed and motion, it also offers HDR capabilities to enhance brightness and color depth in supported content. Coupled with 100% sRGB coverage, you’ll experience richer midtones, brighter highlights, and more lifelike scenes in HDR-enabled games and media. This makes the VG279QM1A a well-rounded choice for gamers who want both the speed for competitive play and the dynamic range that elevates storytelling and immersion.
