Asus VA279HG
Score: 71/100Rankings
A budget-friendly 24-inch Full HD LED monitor with 99% sRGB coverage, 75 Hz refresh, dual HDMI and eye-care features, ideal for students and casual gamers but limited in ergonomics and high-end gaming features.
The ASUS VA279HG is a 27-inch Full HD IPS monitor offering a 120 Hz refresh rate and eye-care technologies, targeting office, home-office and casual-gaming users who value comfort and smooth visuals over high resolution or advanced ergonomics. Its limited connectivity and lack of height adjustment keep it from being a premium solution.

Professional reviewers see it as a solid, value-driven 24-inch monitor with good color accuracy and eye-care, though ergonomics are limited and it lacks premium features like adaptive-sync.
Users praise the crisp picture, easy setup and dual HDMI, while noting thin speakers, limited tilt ergonomics and occasional port-access issues when VESA-mounted.
“Terrific monitor”
“Works great for games”
“Easy setup, fantastic picture”
Professional reviewers consider the VA279HG a solid, value-driven choice for productivity and casual gaming, highlighting its 120 Hz panel, TÜV-certified eye-care technologies, and IPS color performance. However, they note its limited connectivity (no DisplayPort/USB) and lack of height adjustment as drawbacks for premium or competitive-gaming use.
Everyday users overwhelmingly appreciate the eye-care features and the smooth 120 Hz experience, especially for long work hours and light gaming. Common criticisms focus on the low 1080p resolution on a large screen, occasional factory-calibration inconsistencies, and the missing height-adjustment mechanism.
