ASUS TUF Gaming 32" 1440P HDR Curved Monitor (VG32VQ1B) - QHD (2560 x 1440), 165Hz (Supports 144Hz), 1ms, Extreme Low Motion Blur, Speaker, FreeSync Premium, VESA Mountable, DisplayPort, HDMI,BLACK

I’ve been using the ASUS TUF Gaming 1080p monitor for a while now, and honestly, it’s one of the best budget-friendly displays I’ve owned for fast-paced gaming. The 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make a huge difference—everything feels incredibly fluid, whether I’m playing competitive shooters or just scrolling through menus. It’s equipped with an IPS panel, so colors look vibrant and viewing angles are solid, which is great since I’m not always sitting dead center. I also appreciate the inclusion of FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility, which really smooths out gameplay with no tearing or stuttering. The design is clean and gamer-focused, and although the stand only tilts, I was able to set it up comfortably with a monitor arm. The 1080p resolution is fine on the 24-inch model—perfectly sharp for most games and daily use—but I do notice some pixelation when sitting too close on the 27-inch version. If I had to nitpick, the contrast isn't great, especially in darker games or dim lighting, and the HDR feature is more of a checkbox than a game-changer. Still, for a monitor in this price range, it nails the essentials. It’s fast, reliable, and gets out of the way so I can just enjoy the games.

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B 32” 1440p curved monitor is easily one of the best parts of my setup. The QHD resolution (2560x1440) looks super crisp on the 32-inch screen—perfect balance of screen real estate and sharpness. The 165Hz refresh rate (supports 144Hz) paired with 1ms response time makes everything buttery smooth, especially for fast-paced shooters or racing games.The curve adds just the right level of immersion without feeling overdone. Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) keeps everything clean during intense gameplay, and FreeSync Premium eliminates tearing completely.Built-in speakers are decent for backup sound, though I mostly use a headset. The VESA mount support is a plus if you’re planning a clean wall or arm-mounted setup. Also, no complaints about brightness or color—HDR helps a bit in supported games and videos.Overall, this monitor checks every box for a main gaming display—performance, immersion, and visuals. It’s been worth every penny, and I’d buy it again without hesitation.

You get what you pay for. This is a lower price point monitor for upgrading from 1080p to 1440p and higher refresh rate. Overall, it's a good monitor for the price point if you're looking to get into the 2K 1440p game experience with a decent and noticeable improvement when gaming with the higher refresh rate. The packaging was great, it's a nice-looking monitor, but with time and use I started noticing a subtle white flickering and it was quite annoying. I immediately recognized the flashing was most likely in reference to a refresh rate issue or adaptive frame syncing. It would consistently flash white, and it was not too noticeable, but yet still annoying. I looked into the issue and found some old forums and other complaints about the same issue going back 4 years. With some troubleshooting I was able fix the issue. I'm using an AMD card so in order to correct the issue you have to go into the AMD Adrenaline software>click on settings>Display and disable the AMD Freesync Premium which enables AMDs software driving refresh rate which obviously does not align with this monitor. I have attached a screenshot for reference for future possible buyers. If you are running an Invidia card I would look for any settings in reference to v-sync, adaptive refresh and anything pertaining to refresh rate syncing.Since correcting the issue I'm very happy with the quality and performance of the monitor. The higher refresh rate at 165hz is a world of difference and gives you an edge of response when playing any game. Even with consideration to a little tweaking of the settings this is a great monitor for the price and would suggest it if you looking to spend less but still get the 1440p experience with the higher refresh rate.

Wonderful quality and is a great choice for 1440p. It’s got a good refresh rate and is easy to set up. The curve isn’t too much and it’s a very minimal design that fits any setup. Good brightness and crisp quality.

This monitor has been an amazing upgrade for me and has vastly improved my PC experience for gaming, viewing, and work use. It's got a ton of features that I didn't even know I wanted. A wonderful product for the price.My only complaint is that there seem to be some bugs in the firmware that making certain features not work properly. There are 4 shortcut buttons on the bottom of the monitor that are supposed to be configurable so you can quickly access settings you use regularly, but in the shortcut menu you can only change 2 of them and if you accidentally change one of the ones you can't program by assigning it's function to another button there's no way to undo it without restoring default settings for the entire monitor. There are also two Custom Settings that can be saved and loaded so you can easily swap between monitor settings for different use purposes, but only Custom Setting #1 works when assigned to a shortcut button. When you assign Custom Setting #2 to a shortcut it only loads the settings from #1 instead. The Custom Settings both work fine when accessed from the on-screen menu so they're still useful, but not being able to put them both on hotkeys is frustrating.As such I'm really hoping that ASUS releases a firmware update for the monitor at some point to resolve these bugs.

The monitor has a large, solid stand that feels very stable. The screen is wide with excellent colors. All games ran full screen except Elden Ring. Great for work and gaming.Height adjustment:Easy to adjust height and angle.Ease of setup:Very easy to assemble.
