Is the VG32VQ1B good for competitive shooters?

It works, but the VA panel smears in fast motion, so many competitive players prefer a smaller, faster IPS or TN screen. For casual and single-player shooters the big 1440p picture is a strong draw.

Does it work with both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards?

It supports adaptive sync, which works with AMD FreeSync. Nvidia cards can use it in G-Sync compatible mode on supported drivers, though results vary by card.

Is a 31.5-inch 1440p screen sharp enough?

Yes. At 2560x1440 on 31.5 inches the pixel density is lower than a 27-inch 1440p screen, but most owners find text and games look crisp at normal desk distance.

What connections does it have?

It offers DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, so you can connect a PC and a console at the same time. Use DisplayPort for the full 165Hz refresh rate.

Does the curve help or hurt for office work?

The curve is aimed at gaming immersion. For documents and spreadsheets some users notice slight distortion near the edges, so it suits mixed gaming and light work better than full-time office use.

Our take on the VG32VQ1B 31.5IN TUF GAMING VG32VQ1B

The ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B is a 31.5-inch curved gaming monitor with a 2560x1440 WQHD panel and a 165Hz refresh rate. It uses a VA panel with a 1500R curve, which wraps the picture around your view and gives deep blacks, but VA panels show smearing in fast motion. It suits gamers who want a big, immersive 1440p screen for shooters and single-player games more than competitive esports players, who usually pick smaller, faster IPS or TN panels.
