SeekerASUS TUF Gaming VG279QM
The ASUS TUF Gaming VG279QM is a great gaming monitor. It has outstanding motion handling, resulting in clear motion with very little blur. It also supports a variable refresh rate and is compatible with both FreeSync and G-SYNC devices. It also has outstanding low input lag when gaming at 280Hz, but, unfortunately, the 60Hz input lag is extremely high. It also has limited compatibility with the Xbox Series X and the PS5, so it's not a great choice for console gamers.

The ASUS VG279QM is one of the fastest gaming monitors available thanks to its 280Hz overclockable refresh rate. However, this doesn’t provide a big difference over other 240Hz models – some of which offer more noticeable advantages such as a higher pixel density or better MBR performance.
