Product Manuals

Q: It says 144hz refresh rate. I'm only getting 60hz refresh rate. It's hooked up to a Nvidia GE Force RTX 2080ti. Why??? Speakers are horrible. Had to buy external speaker system.

A: Right click on your desktop. Click "Display Setings" On the bottom of the page click " Advanced Display settings" You should see your monitor and on the bottom it should have a link "Display Adapter Properties" Cick that. go to monitor tab and chooke 144hz refresh rate I hope this helps :)

Q: Does it come with the display port cable?

A: Yes. One was included.

Q: Will this get 120 frames per second on the PlayStation 5? I have read different places that this maxes out at 60 frames per second on the PlayStation 5 even though it is 144 frames per second capable. This makes no sense to me. Okease clarify.

A: It wont.... It does not display 120 Hz on the PS5 as the HDMI port is limited to 60 Hz only. Unfortunately I am stuck with this monitor and am super disappointed

Q: Can you adjust the monitors height?

A: Yes ... it adjusts up and down easily

Q: Can I connect speakers to this monitor? If so how?

A: Yes you can connect speakers to this monitor. If you are looking at the back of the monitor there is a headphone port on the right hand side, where the HDMI port is located towards the left hand side. Plug an audio jack "male" into the monitor "headphone symbol" port and that will silence the monitor speakers while sending the audio signal to the your headphones or external speakers that you want to use, as long as the external speakers have an audio "male" jack and not a usb cable. You may have to go to the audio app in the settings of Windows 10 to make the speakers that you are plugging into the headphone jack as the default (checked "green") to get the speakers to play from the headphone jack port.

Q: Will I be able to use my PS4 on this monitor

A: Yes, this monitor has an HDMI input.

Q: Does g-sync work on this display? and is it the tuff series ? i cannot find drivers for it on the asus website only thing i found was vg279qm

A: This monitor supports FreeSync/Adaptive Sync, and the official product page is listed here. https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/VG279Q/ It is not a part of the TUF Gaming series. There are also no drivers required to use the device.

Q: is there a displayport in the back? I did not see it under specs

A: This monitor has the following signal input(s) : HDMI(v1.4), DisplayPort 1.2, Dual-link DVI-D
