Description

The ASUS VY279HGR combines responsive gaming performance with practical features for everyday computing. SmoothMotion technology works with the 120Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response time to help reduce motion blur and provide clearer movement during video playback, casual gaming and fast scrolling.

Adaptive Sync helps reduce screen tearing and choppy frame rates by keeping the display and compatible graphics output better synchronized. The result is smoother gameplay and more consistent motion when frame rates change.

The 27-inch IPS panel provides Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio. IPS technology delivers consistent image quality across a broad viewing area, while the 178 degree viewing angle makes the screen easier to view from different positions.

The 120Hz refresh rate can make everyday interaction feel more responsive, particularly when scrolling through web pages, documents and learning materials. The overclocking function is available when the monitor is used in Game mode.

Smooth Gaming With Adaptive Sync
The ASUS VY279HGR is well suited to casual gaming, with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1ms MPRT and Adaptive Sync technology working together to improve motion clarity. Fast-moving scenes can appear smoother, while Adaptive Sync helps reduce tearing and uneven frame delivery.

Eye Care Technology For Everyday Viewing
Designed for users who spend extended periods in front of a screen, the ASUS VY279HGR includes ASUS Eye Care Plus technology. The integrated blue light filter allows users to adjust the amount of blue light through the monitor's on-screen display, while Flicker Free technology is designed to reduce visible screen flicker.

Additional eye care functions include:

• TUV Rheinland-certified Flicker Free technology
• Color Augmentation mode
• Rest Reminder

Color Augmentation can help users with colour-vision deficiency distinguish between different colours more easily. The Rest Reminder encourages users to manage their screen time during extended sessions.

Long-Lasting Antibacterial Monitor Treatment
The bezels and hotkeys of the ASUS VY279HGR use an antibacterial ionic silver treatment designed to inhibit the adhesion and growth of bacteria and fungi. ASUS states that independent testing according to ISO 22196 showed up to 99.9% reduction in bacterial activity under the specified test conditions.

This treatment is intended to help keep frequently touched areas of the monitor cleaner. The antibacterial treatment has been tested by an independent TUV SUD laboratory using the ISO 22196 standard.

Easy Monitor Control With DisplayWidget Center
ASUS DisplayWidget Center provides a convenient way to adjust monitor settings through an intuitive software interface. Instead of relying entirely on the physical monitor controls, users can access supported display settings directly through the application.

This can be useful for switching between different viewing preferences and adjusting the monitor to suit work, learning, entertainment or gaming.

• 1 x HDMI 1.4
• 1 x VGA
• 1 x earphone jack
• 100 x 100mm VESA wall mounting

The VESA mounting support allows the monitor to be installed on compatible monitor arms or wall mounts, while the tilt adjustment helps users position the display more comfortably.

Practical Design For Home And Office Use
Beyond gaming, the ASUS VY279HGR is a versatile 27-inch monitor for everyday productivity. Its Full HD IPS display provides plenty of screen space for office applications, eLearning, web browsing and multimedia, while the 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and video playback feel smoother.
