ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ HDR Gaming Monitor – 27 inch WQHD (2560 x 1440), Fast IPS, Overclockable 170Hz (Above 144Hz), 1ms (GTG), ELMB SYNC, G-SYNC Compatible, DisplayHDR 400

Brilliant monitor thats ideal for many types of games with its selection of options and filters If your playing horror games that rely on darkness and shadows then it has the appropriate filter and functions to get the most out of the graphics without having to tweak in-game quality. If your playing fast-space games like racing titles, Spiderman, Ballistic-NG then it has the option for anti-blur, a vivid filter to brighten up the picture. It has HDR for games that use it like Horizon Zero Dawn. The high refresh rate gives you zero lag response time. The lower resolution compensates for high refresh rate so you dont need a high end GPU to get the most out of it. It has G-Sync which gives more cooperation between your CPU, GPU and the monitor, everything works in tandem with each other. It can be overclocked for more increased refresh rate but I personally dont see the point in 170fps if the technology isnt there to maintain such a high frame rate, this may make the monitor run hot, it has a built-in fan for that reason. Use with caution. My only advice is to not have this monitor close to your eyes if you lack the space, hence why I have it on the wall, if its too close, the bright picture, vivid colours can potentially give you headache or eyestrain. A wall mount is recommended, I couldnt fully enjoy it until it was on the wall. It also has built-in speakers but they are very tinny and lack bass, they sound like speakers that came from a PSP device. Not very good but I suppose they are a last resort if you dont have speakers. The control buttons are easy to navigate too as it has like a litle nub you can push around to go through the settings. Was using a 4K 60Hz monitor for years. As much as I loved the clarity of 4K but it was just too demanding on my GPU on some games. 2K and higher refresh rate seems to be the way forward

This comes factory calibrated. In SDR mode the colours a very vibrant. The banding is a lot better than what I've seen from other monitors. Even though this is only HDR400, I gave it a try. Windows still need some work with its use of HDR. I have noticed that some overlay features like the volume bar will cause a flicker. In-game it's a lot better than I thought. You see a lot more details The only downside for me is that with the the back panel on, it's a little tricky to use the USB ports, probably best to use them for keyboard/mice - or something else that you plan on keeping plugged in All in all a very nice monitor

This ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ HDR Gaming Monitor is a fantastic deal. HDR, Resolution 2560/1440 , Refresh rate at 170hz. Wow, it is a high def monitor for me to dabble in pc games. It has a silent cooling fan built-in and of course, if you have a ROG laptop then it links to aura. I got this on Amazon way lower priced than anywhere else and do not regret it. A note to mention is to get the above specs you really need Display Port. I have Thunderbolt on my ROG Laptop so I just bought a C connector to display port ( USB C to DisplayPort Cable) Highly recommended, a quality 27” Monitor.

The monitors features are: HDR (High dynamic range) ULMB (Ultra-low motion blur) 1ms response time G-Sync I like this monitor for how large it is ("27), it helps with organizing and doing work as you can easily have a word tab open on one side and resources on the other side. Its very easy to read and the brightness is more than good. I have no bleed on this monitor from the LCD which is an issue with some monitors. You are able to toggle the refresh rates on this monitor natively which is useful to conserve its life. However, dont get this monitor just because of HDR, the feature is underwhelming and the screen appears too bright and the colours too contrasted. The other features like ULMB help with competitive gaming as they reduce blurryness. The only strange issue that I cant resolve with this monitor is sometimes on bootup, the monitor appears darker for some strange reason. I suspect that sometimes on bootup ULMB is turned on without any previous input and it turns back off when you restart your graphics with (Win + Ctrl + Shift + B). This isn't really an issue for me and it only happens maybe once every few months. The stand of this monitor is very sturdy and offers a wide range of movement, you can rotate it 90 degrees if you'd like depending on what suits you. I think the weight of the stand removes the need of a VESA mount (which it also has) as its unlikely to knock over, The stand is really heavy. I didn't buy this monitor out of vanity looks but theres RGB lights on the back if you are into that which you can customise. The settings on this monitor are standard and there's a few buttons on the back to make navigating somewhat easier. Most of the settings are useless to be honest with some lacklustre filters and scope and red dot settings, the only game that I could see you using these in would be EFT (Escape from tarkov) but these are really not needed. The filters themselves take time to navigate to and they are bad in my opinion. The ULMB is a solid feature on this monitor but by turning it on, the monitor gets darker (to be expected as ULMB inserts black frames). I think the feature is very solid and with combination with the pre-sets you can make in the menu, it helps with when you want to use it. The beauty panel on the back covers the connectors which there are plenty of, there's also a USB hub integrated within the monitor for cable management which is highly appreciated! I highly recommend this monitor but for the price you'd want to buy it on amazon warehouse or find it on a cheaper website. Great product!

Bought this recently to upgrade from a 1080 to 1440. The quality of the product was fantastic, no dead pixels, easy to setup, the colours are really vibrant. I also didn't realise it had it's own speakers built in, but I mainly use a headset but a bonus to have. Would highly recommend!

This is my second RoG monitor - happy with both - really clear, no dead pixels and internal speaker pretty good for that sort of thing. Easy set up and good number of external ports - would recommend.

This monitor is a complete failure in every respect. The colors out of the box are washed out and unusable. The interface is clunky, unresponsive, and poorly designed. HDR functionality is broken, constantly creating issues. Even basic use in full screen mode is impossible in games, every attempt results in black screens or the game forcefully tabbing out. The only way it functions at all is in borderless windowed mode. This product is unreliable, frustrating, and not worth the money. It has been the single worst purchase I’ve made in tech. Avoid it at all costs. Compared to my ROG swift that served me for 5+ years, this is a complete piece of trash.

Monitor itself is fine but 3 months after buying the screen randomly goes black and loses connection to my hdmi or display port and i just grubbed a ak kit on rust when the monitor cut out and i died nice (Edit) I fixed that issue and it has been flawless since
