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 (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 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).
