Lightning-fast 0.5ms* response time with ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur

ASUS VG278QF is the fastest in its class, boasting a 0.5ms* response time to eliminate smearing and motion blur. This lets you react instantly to what you see onscreen, especially in fast paced games – allowing you to take corners like a pro race car driver, or get that headshot like a seasoned pro. There's also the ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) Technology to make objects in motion look even sharper, so gameplay is more fluid and responsive. *0.5ms response time is the minimum based on internal tests. Response time may vary depending on test conditions.

Incredible 165Hz refresh rate

With an astonishing 165Hz refresh rate, fast-moving visuals pose no problem for VG278QF. There's no frustrating lag, so you get the upper hand in first person shooters, racers, real-time strategy and sports titles.

Adaptive-Sync technology for smooth gameplay

VG278QF features Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync™) technology – it eliminates screen tearing and choppy frame rates to give you seamless visuals and smooth gameplay.

GameFast Input Technology – because milliseconds count

Input lag on an LCD monitor is typically much lower than a TV, and ASUS VG278QF features GameFast Input Technology to further minimize input lag. This technology provides much faster motion delivery so you'll always be up to speed with in-game action at the precise timing you need to respond as quickly as is needed.

ASUS-exclusive GamePlus technology

ASUS VG278QF features the ASUS-exclusive GamePlus hotkey to give you in-game enhancements that help you get more out of your game. This function is co-developed with pro-gamer input, allowing them to practice and improve their gaming skills.

ASUS-exclusive GameVisual technology

ASUS GameVisual Technology has seven pre-set display modes to optimize visuals for different types of content. This unique feature can be easily accessed through a hotkey or the On Screen Display (OSD) settings menu.

Rich connectivity options, a narrow bezel design

ASUS VG278QF has extensive connectivity options, including dual-link DVI-D, DisplayPort 1.2, and HDMI(v1.4) port, so you can hook it up to a wide array of multimedia devices. It has a super-narrow 1cm bezel ideal for an immersive and panoramic gaming setup.

Flicker-Free technology

Flicker-Free technology reduces flicker to give you a comfortable gaming experience. This minimizes instances of eyestrain and other potentially damaging eye ailments when you're embroiled in long, drawn-out gaming sessions.

Ultra-Low Blue Light technology

ASUS Ultra-Low Blue Light technology reduces the amount of blue light. You can access and select four different filter settings onscreen easily through the OSD menu or DisplayWidget UI to find the best one that suits the task at hand.
The VG278QF gaming monitor has undergone stringent performance tests and is certified by TÜV Rheinland laboratories, a global provider of technical, safety, and certification services, to be flicker-free and to emit low blue light levels.
