It is an awesome gaming monitor. It has many great features for gaming. It's nice to have a monitor support both G-sync and Free-sync. I never had issue with screen tearing so far. The downside is audio quality. It sounds awful.
This has to be one of the most garbage monitors marketed as "good" I have ever seen or used. Out of the box colour is horrendous with saturation of reds and uneven lighting, and calibration without additional hardware is difficult or even next to impossible. Even with an "acceptable" calibration, colours still appear somehow simultaneously saturated and washed out. Backlight is dull with obvious glow issues. Overall clarity suffers due to not being able to calibrate colours for uniformity. OSD is limited to adjustable presets rather than a general preset with all options available, with some settings locked in individual presets. High refresh rate and smoothness of image are good and function as intended.
Perfect match for all my work and gaming needs. I have done months of research to find the perfect monitor for my needs and the ASUS VG27AQL1A was closest by a long way. It also offers the best match to get the most out of my ASUS Turbo GTX 1080 Video Card. I love the adjustability of the ASUS VGAQL1A so much I am thinking of getting a second one I can use in portrait mode for reading long documents and emails easily. My only issue with this monitor is the sound output from the built in speakers but I am hoping that this may be just a cable change or MB tweak to fix.
