You get what you pay for. This is a lower price point monitor for upgrading from 1080p to 1440p and higher refresh rate. Overall, it's a good monitor for the price point if you're looking to get into the 2K 1440p game experience with a decent and noticeable improvement when gaming with the higher refresh rate. The packaging was great, it's a nice-looking monitor, but with time and use I started noticing a subtle white flickering and it was quite annoying. I immediately recognized the flashing was most likely in reference to a refresh rate issue or adaptive frame syncing. It would consistently flash white, and it was not too noticeable, but yet still annoying. I looked into the issue and found some old forums and other complaints about the same issue going back 4 years. With some troubleshooting I was able fix the issue. I'm using an AMD card so in order to correct the issue you have to go into the AMD Adrenaline software>click on settings>Display and disable the AMD Freesync Premium which enables AMDs software driving refresh rate which obviously does not align with this monitor. I have attached a screenshot for reference for future possible buyers. If you are running an Invidia card I would look for any settings in reference to v-sync, adaptive refresh and anything pertaining to refresh rate syncing.Since correcting the issue I'm very happy with the quality and performance of the monitor. The higher refresh rate at 165hz is a world of difference and gives you an edge of response when playing any game. Even with consideration to a little tweaking of the settings this is a great monitor for the price and would suggest it if you looking to spend less but still get the 1440p experience with the higher refresh rate.

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B is a monitor that I’ve been using for quite some time and it has definitely enhanced my setup. It has a 32 inch carbon curved screen with a 1440p resolution. In my eyes, that combination of size and resolution is the best. Clarity of the text is impeccable, sharpness of graphics is very pleasing and there is a lot of screen space without it being overwhelming. It has a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz and combined with a 1ms response time, everything from fast paced games to smoother experiences feels incredible. I primarily play racing and shooter games and the difference in performance when compared to a 60Hz monitor is very noticeable. That smoother performance does wonders with reaction time and overall improves the experience in gaming. The curvature of the monitor is not highly aggressive, it is in fact very subtle but extremely useful for immersion, especially for when you sit right in front of it. It encapsulates your viewpoint to just the right extent to feel more connected and engaged with the on screen actions. Also, there’s the Free-Sync Premium tag, which is carried quite nicely since there’s no tearing or stuttering even when frame rates slightly dip, and there’s the ELMB feature that stands as ELMB is strong, preventing things from becoming blurry during fast movements in scenes with high action. It has speakers built in. Not great, but really not bad at all, especially if you’re not plugging anything else in. That being said, I use a headset most of the time so I don’t really have a use for them. It’s also VESA mountable so that’s cool if you’d like to clear up your desk with an arm mount or just get it off the stand. Well, brightness and color are more than fine for me. It gets plenty bright, and colors look pretty natural to my eye. HDR is supported. It’s not the most amazing HDR I’ve ever seen, but it does improve the look in some games and videos. Don’t expect OLED-level blacks or anything, though. Overall, this thing has been totally worth it. It has everything I look for good image quality, smooth performance, and that little bit of immersion from the curve. If I had to do it all over again, I’d still buy it. No regrets.

Crisp display, vibrant colors, and smooth performance. Perfect for work, gaming, and streaming!

I’ve been using the ASUS TUF Gaming 1080p monitor for a while now, and honestly, it’s one of the best budget-friendly displays I’ve owned for fast-paced gaming. The 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make a huge difference—everything feels incredibly fluid, whether I’m playing competitive shooters or just scrolling through menus. It’s equipped with an IPS panel, so colors look vibrant and viewing angles are solid, which is great since I’m not always sitting dead center. I also appreciate the inclusion of FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility, which really smooths out gameplay with no tearing or stuttering. The design is clean and gamer-focused, and although the stand only tilts, I was able to set it up comfortably with a monitor arm. The 1080p resolution is fine on the 24-inch model—perfectly sharp for most games and daily use—but I do notice some pixelation when sitting too close on the 27-inch version. If I had to nitpick, the contrast isn't great, especially in darker games or dim lighting, and the HDR feature is more of a checkbox than a game-changer. Still, for a monitor in this price range, it nails the essentials. It’s fast, reliable, and gets out of the way so I can just enjoy the games.
