Product Overview
The TUF VG257Q5A is a 25-inch class gaming monitor engineered for high-performance gameplay with a 24.5-inch viewable screen. It delivers Full HD 1920x1080 resolution through a Vertical Alignment (VA) panel, providing deep contrast and wide viewing angles. Designed specifically for gaming, this monitor combines a 200Hz refresh rate with a 0.5ms GTG response time to ensure fluid motion and sharp frame clarity during fast-paced action.
With Adaptive Sync and FreeSync Premium technology, the monitor dynamically matches the refresh rate to your GPU's frame output, effectively reducing screen tearing and stuttering. The 300 cd/m² brightness and 125% sRGB color gamut produce vibrant, well-saturated visuals, while HDR10 support enhances contrast and detail in compatible content.

The 200Hz refresh rate, combined with Adaptive Sync/FreeSync Premium, ensures smooth frame pacing and low latency, which is critical for competitive gaming. The 0.5ms GTG (1ms MPRT) response time minimizes motion blur, keeping fast-moving objects crisp and clear.
The display covers 125% of the sRGB color space, supporting 16.7 million colors for accurate and vivid imagery. With a pixel pitch of 0.28320 mm x 0.28320 mm and 178° horizontal/vertical viewing angles, the screen maintains consistent color and brightness even when viewed from off-center positions. The anti-glare coating diffuses ambient light to reduce reflections and eye strain during extended gaming sessions.
