ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ Monitor Driver for Windows

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ WHQL archive gives Windows the model-specific monitor INF and profile for this 27-inch 1440p display. It is the right small package when the panel remains Generic PnP Monitor, not a replacement for the graphics driver or ASUS DisplayWidget.

ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ driver overview

ELMB Sync, Adaptive-Sync and the advertised refresh-rate modes depend on more than the INF. Install the NVIDIA, AMD or Intel graphics package first, use a suitable DisplayPort cable, then add this monitor definition if Windows still does not identify the VG27AQ correctly.

When this monitor package helps

• Windows lists the display as Generic PnP Monitor instead of ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ.
• The correct color profile is missing after Windows was reinstalled.
• Device Manager needs the signed monitor INF before display settings are checked.

Supported Windows versions

Windows 10 (64-bit).

Before installing

• Do not confuse VG27AQ with VG27AQ1A; their support pages and monitor definitions are separate.
• Extract ZIP or CAB packages before choosing the INF file in Device Manager.
• The graphics-card driver remains separate and should be installed for resolution, refresh-rate and GPU features.

Compatibility notes

ASUS publishes this WHQL archive on the VG27AQ Windows 10 64-bit support page. It is for the VG27AQ, not the later VG27AQ1A or similarly named TUF panels. Windows 11 can often read older signed monitor INFs, but the official package itself is retained with the operating-system label ASUS supplied.

Common installation checks

• If Windows says the best driver is already installed, use Have Disk and select the extracted model INF directly.
• If the exact model is still missing, reconnect the video cable and remove only the Generic PnP Monitor entry before scanning for hardware changes.
• If refresh-rate or HDR options are absent after the monitor INF is installed, update the graphics driver and verify the cable and input port.

Questions about this driver

Is a monitor INF the same as a graphics driver?

No. The monitor package supplies the model identity, supported timing information and usually a color profile. NVIDIA, AMD or Intel separately supplies the graphics driver.

Can Windows work without this package?

Usually yes, through Generic PnP Monitor. The model-specific package is useful when you need the proper display name, signed INF data or the manufacturer's color profile.
