ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B 32 Inch 1440p 165Hz HDR Curved Gaming Monitor

This is my very first monitor and it’s surprisingly good. I make music, commentaries and i game a lot, so I was in need of a monitor. It takes up a lot of space on my desk, my desk is about 5ft to 6 ft wide. I did a lot of research before I bought it (4 months before I bought it). I was very hesitant because of the price and not a lot videos on YouTube gone in depth about the monitor other than showing gameplay. I wasn’t expecting it to be so big let alone run this well either. Finding a gaming monitor at the moment is hard just because finding a well made monitor that plays and runs most games is somewhat rare. It took no more then 12 hours for it to come in after i purchased it (I have Amazon prime) and the box itself was actually pretty big. Setting everything up was easy and simple. Using it for gaming: There’s a bit of settings and you can play it at native 4k 60hz on the Xbox one x and there’s a major difference with some games like Cod MW (2019) Halo MCC & Halo 5, and any game that plays at 60fps. It may not be a noticeable difference with games that are locked to 30fps, but there is a major difference when playing games at 60. Some games looked better but ran somewhat worse compared to 1080p or 1440p. With the One X you can play some games in HDR and there’s a major difference with HDR and some games looked better with HDR. I’ve seen HDR on 4k tv’s and looked amazing, but being able to use it on a monitor like this was also really surprising. Again not all games on the One X have HDR, but the games that do have HDR ran somewhat better but frames did drop considerably when things picked up in combat. Cyberpunk 2077 while looked better on the One X, ran a lot worse at native 4k and with HDR on. Some parts of cyberpunk were steady and nice, as soon as combat picked up, the games frames would drop. So again it just depends on your settings and what games you play the monitor on. Using it for my Music & commentaries: For the last few weeks I’ve been making music & commentaries on this monitor and my workload had jumped up considerably. I can finally see everything and mix the way I need too. It’s a lot easier for me to see my mixes, I had to get a new keyboard, mouse, and desk mat just for this monitor. My work flow has improved and the monitor goes well with the lights around my studio. I’m getting a gaming computer soon to see how it truly runs, I have laptop at the moment so it runs well but I’m in need of upgrade for a new computer. Final Thoughts: Buy at your own cost. The settings are customizable and it looks good on my Xbox one X, I plan on getting a gaming computer to see how it truly runs. It’s worth the price and ships really fast (if you have Amazon prime). Picture quality is amazing, the brightness is adjustable and it’s really good for gaming. Worth the price! If you have the money, get it, if you game a lot, get it, if you’re in need of good monitor, get it. You can’t go wrong with it. Even after a month, I haven’t had any problems with it. I’ve been using it everyday since I’ve bought it.

My last job title was advanced network engineer of fabric systems, and I’m an idiot. So, "computer guy me" says, I'm leaving the US in three years and don't want "stuff" to have to pay shipping but, I need a new monitor, want something "high-powered and awesome"! Same laptop, no new graphics card. You see where this is going? First thing I did was search for that awesome new 100hz refresh rate. Man! That ought to be awesome! Well, that comes with the capability to generate it, which I don’t have. So, basically, I bought a new TV monitor that works very much like the one I had from 6 years ago. HOWEVER! The colors on this unit are beautiful. The screen width at maximum resolution is like two screens in one! The curve? I don't know. Don't like it or not like it yet. It's "interesting" but in no way bad. The clarity is amazing to me, even with the old stuff. The "TUFF" part I love! The unit is solid, metal, heavy and the stand is something sci-fi durable. It's about 6" off the surface so, plan for that. I like it but it makes the unit taller than the last so, I had to move the webcam from off the top to under. Actually worked out more like I'm talking to someone face-to-face. What surprised me is the Windows WHORL driver, and that I blame on Microsoft, not ASUS, sort of. The standard PnP driver is crap! However, ASUS doesn’t bother to tell you that! When I registered the product, I found a very uncomplicated MODERN driver which adds color profile, abilities and intelligence for both Intel and nVidia. So, not having that driver "would be" a real limiting factor of enjoying the unit and, the user would never know! The longer I sit in front of this new unit, the more I'm liking it and being tempted to go for it and get a new Windows 11 laptop with new nVidia power.

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B is a monitor that I’ve been using for quite some time and it has definitely enhanced my setup. It has a 32 inch carbon curved screen with a 1440p resolution. In my eyes, that combination of size and resolution is the best. Clarity of the text is impeccable, sharpness of graphics is very pleasing and there is a lot of screen space without it being overwhelming. It has a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz and combined with a 1ms response time, everything from fast paced games to smoother experiences feels incredible. I primarily play racing and shooter games and the difference in performance when compared to a 60Hz monitor is very noticeable. That smoother performance does wonders with reaction time and overall improves the experience in gaming. The curvature of the monitor is not highly aggressive, it is in fact very subtle but extremely useful for immersion, especially for when you sit right in front of it. It encapsulates your viewpoint to just the right extent to feel more connected and engaged with the on screen actions. Also, there’s the Free-Sync Premium tag, which is carried quite nicely since there’s no tearing or stuttering even when frame rates slightly dip, and there’s the ELMB feature that stands as ELMB is strong, preventing things from becoming blurry during fast movements in scenes with high action. It has speakers built in. Not great, but really not bad at all, especially if you’re not plugging anything else in. That being said, I use a headset most of the time so I don’t really have a use for them. It’s also VESA mountable so that’s cool if you’d like to clear up your desk with an arm mount or just get it off the stand. Well, brightness and color are more than fine for me. It gets plenty bright, and colors look pretty natural to my eye. HDR is supported. It’s not the most amazing HDR I’ve ever seen, but it does improve the look in some games and videos. Don’t expect OLED-level blacks or anything, though. Overall, this thing has been totally worth it. It has everything I look for good image quality, smooth performance, and that little bit of immersion from the curve. If I had to do it all over again, I’d still buy it. No regrets.

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.

I have tried and compared several 32" VA and IPS 1440p 144Hz+ monitors and out of all of them, the ASUS TUF 32" 1440p 165Hz (VG32VQ1B) has the best balance of cost, performance, and quality. The Pros: Deep blacks, good contrast (superior contrast to an IPS panel), great color for a VA panel, excellent refresh rate (165), quality materials, lots of fine tuning options, gentle curve for immersion. Cons: like most all other VA panels, this one is not immune to ghosting (google if you do not know what that is), black screen uniformity is Meh (more on that below), colors are a little subdued but better after calibration, orange stand by light is pretty bright. The panel that came the closest to this one, for me, was the Samsung G5 32" but the G5 is dimmer than this one. There are brighter panels out there in this range - the Gigabyte M32QC for example - but this is one of the brighter VAs. Overall, I am happy with this for gaming, media, and music production work. I will let you know that I am returning the first one I received as after a few hours of use, it developed a hot spot in the upper left corner. I game in a dim room so it is very noticeable. I am hoping the next one is just fine. I really like this unit. The only thing that could be better is the color and light output. It claims to be an HDR monitor but really it just can accept the HDR signal. Its not really bright enough to do true HDR. I wish they were not marketing it as an HDR panel. If you are on the hunt for a good HDR display, you are going to have to shell out more money for a next tier unit. Good luck on your monitor search.

Great for the money, I’ve had it for some time now and it’s held up just fine. I would recommend this monitor for general use and light to moderate gaming.

I bought my first 32" TUF curved monitor back in Feb 2021. Loved it so much I got two more in March 2021. I used all three up until about 4 months ago when I gave one of them to my son who now sits behind me gaming on his own setup. They both look very clear still to this day, 5 years later. I keep looking to buy a new set of monitors but each time I shop around I'm reminded just how good of a product I own. Gaming is about 50% as of late, I now work from home and they are great for that as well. I've had no problems with these monitors. There are a lot of hours on them and they still perform like the day I got them. I've cycled my gaming/primary display every 4/5 months just to give them a break. And have had basic settings on the non gaming ones. I thought I'd finally share my experience. 5 solid years and still going.

Great definition, super fast refresh rate, the curvature is perfect, and the size is just right (but still more than enough to blow you away and provide all the immersion one could ask for from a monitor). My only complaint is that the menu isn't quite as intuitive as others, but this is negligible. Additional keywords (all true, mind you), easy to setup, very lightweight for it's size, and a great value for the price (on sale, maybe so at regular price too?).

Good
