As we come up to the 2021 hardware awards, it's great to see one of our favourite gaming monitors of the year enjoying a tidy discount, especially this close to Christmas. This could be one of those last-minute, but very much appreciated gifts.
We praised the Asus TUF Gaming VG32VQ as a "great budget offering... that ticks the essentials and drops the rest." For something that aces the basics needed for a spectacular gaming experience, £329.98 is not a terrible price. And with a £114.01 saving, you get not only a 144Hz refresh rate but also that most sought after 1440p resolution. That's pretty much the sweet spot.
The Asus TUF Gaming VG32VQ is a 32-inch display with a gently curved VA panel (1800R) offering some rather vibrant colours. It's not the absolute best for colour accuracy but the contrast is great.
As for gaming, the 1ms response time, and a fast 144Hz refresh rate give it a great basis for competitive titles, along with FreeSync Premium and Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) working in tandem, you should have no problems gaming.
Other features include a pair of built-in 2W speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, two HDMI 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort 1.2 input, and some ergonomic adjustment capabilities (tilt and height).
