27" ASUS VG279Q
vs
27" HP 27F

To compensate for graphically demanding games, the ASUS VG279Q has better low end adaptive refresh rate of 20 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. The ASUS VG279Q has a VESA mount while the HP 27F does not. For the extremely fast frame rates, the ASUS VG279Q has better maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The brightness of ASUS VG279Q is better than HP 27F by 36 %. The ASUS VG279Q has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. For the average response rate, the ASUS VG279Q scores 13 ms, which is faster than the HP 27F . The minimum response rate of ASUS VG279Q is 4.9 ms, which is 46 % faster than the HP 27F . ASUS VG279Q has lower total input lag than HP 27F .

27" ASUS VG279Q

For graphics color quality, the ASUS VG279Q has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The monitor has a VESA mount. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The ASUS VG279Q is a relatively new monitor. The ASUS VG279Q has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. For the extremely fast frame rates, the ASUS VG279Q has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The brightness of ASUS VG279Q is significantly better than other monitors. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the ASUS VG279Q has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 20 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1248 : 1. In terms of pixel density, the ASUS VG279Q has an low density of 82 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality. The minimum response rate of ASUS VG279Q is 4.9 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. For the average response rate, the ASUS VG279Q scores 13 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. ASUS VG279Q has a total input lag of 23.5 ms, which is bad among the competition.

27" HP 27F

The HP 27F is a relatively new monitor. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. For graphics color quality, the HP 27F has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The HP 27F has a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 48 Hz. The monitor does not have a VESA mount. The minimum response rate of HP 27F is 7.8 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1142 : 1. The brightness of HP 27F is lower than other monitors. For the average response rate, the HP 27F scores 17.3 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. In terms of pixel density, the HP 27F has an low density of 82 pixels-per-inch, resulting in pixelated text and picture quality. HP 27F has a total input lag of 32.3 ms, which is bad among the competition. The HP 27F has no Display Port and which is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync.
