27" Asus PB27UQ gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

For graphics color quality, the Asus PB27UQ has an excellent color depth of 10 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The Asus PB27UQ has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor has a VESA mount. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Asus PB27UQ has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 23 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. In terms of pixel density, the Asus PB27UQ has an excellent density of 163 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. It is worth noting that the Asus PB27UQ is a relatively old monitor. For the average response rate, the Asus PB27UQ scores 12 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The Asus PB27UQ has a maximum refresh rate of 80 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games. The minimum response rate of Asus PB27UQ is 5 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. Asus PB27UQ has a total input lag of 27 ms, which is bad among the competition. The brightness of Asus PB27UQ is lower than other monitors. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1.
