ASUS VY279HE Monitor Review

The ASUS VY279HE is a 27-inch IPS monitor that checks most of the boxes people might be looking for in a new monitor right now. It offers some gaming extra perks, like 1ms response time and AMD FreeSync support, but otherwise stacks up a fairly simple display that bests in all three specs: size, resolution and price.

At its price, the VY279HE is much cheaper than many frameless 27-inch monitors, even smaller ones. For instance, the HP 24mh can be had for almost the same price, but comes with a 24-inch display, while the Asus TUF VG27AQ1A costs early twice as much. The LG 34WN80C-B may be a stronger competition with a bigger screen and a few specs higher, but its costs a lot more.

Performance

As with other Asus business monitors, the VY279HE’s display is an IPS panel with LED backlighting. It has a display area of 597.888 x 336.312 mm which, with the FHD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, gives pixel pitch of 0.311mm. It has 250cd/m2 peak brightness and 1000:1 contrast ration and 16.7m colors, resulting in smoother grading and tonal gradations. In-Plane Switching enables a fast response time and a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees.

The ASUS VY279HE is easy to use – it arrives ready-assembled. The on-screen display is large, fast and well-organized, with all the appropriate options. Another bit of Asus-developed technology is at work here and it’s called, ‘color augmentation technology’, it works fine by fine-tuning both the color and brightness of the monitor’s sub-regions across the panel to minimize color shifts.

For gamers, the Asus VY279HE comes complete with AMD’s FreeSync adaptive syncing technology. As such, if you’ll be using it with, maybe, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 powered machine, it will have no problem recognizing the Asus VY279HE and enabling the equivalent G-Sync functionality.

Overall, the 1080p resolution makes for plenty of detail on a 27-inch panel, the build quality is great and if bezel-less screen is your poison, you get a frameless design, which offers a good viewing experience.
