A fine choice for silky smooth QHD gaming. Choosing the right gaming monitor can be a bit of a minefield, with so many manufacturers offering a vast array of models whose baffling product names don't shed a lot of light. Asus alone has nearly 100 gamer-specific models, headlined by ROG panels that push the boundaries of current display technology, at price points extending way beyond £2,000.

Too rich for your wallet? Yeah, me too, but don't be discouraged as Asus does have more palatable offerings under its TUF Gaming umbrella. This mid-range product line typically offers a healthy dose of gaming enhancements, looks sleek but not ostentatious, and tends not to break the bank. Those attributes are very much evident in the new TUF VG27AQL1A.
