ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQM HDR Gaming Monitor – 27 inch WQHD (2560 x 1440), Fast IPS, Overclockable 270Hz (Above 144Hz), 0.5ms (GTG), ELMB SYNC, G-SYNC Compatible, DisplayHDR 400

Product Information

The screen has a light matte anti-glare coating that eliminates reflections without making the image grainy. Owners of other ROG components like motherboards or RAM sticks can coordinate a light show with the Aura Sync feature implemented through a desktop app.

Adaptive sync can be toggled on or off, but you’ll want to leave it on because it works in tandem with ELMB Sync if you wish. Mostly competitive FPS where I want as close to 240 frames as possible, but also for single player games with higher graphics settings and lower frames. ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) technology enables ELMB together with G-SYNC Compatible, eliminating ghosting and tearing for sharp gaming visuals with high frame rates.If you need a hybrid display with great image visuals and features such as HDR 400 and Fast IPS, the ASUS XG27AQM is currently one of your cheapest choices.

There’s an sRGB emulation mode available that restricts the monitor’s native 150% sRGB gamut to ~100%. Moving to the stand, the similarities continue, with both possessing V-shaped aesthetics with a wide variety of adjustability, including height, pivot, tilt, and swivel.People with outdated graphics cards may choose a lower resolution to guarantee they get the high frame ratios the monitor can offer because reproducing 1080p images is far less demanding on graphics cards than reproducing 2k images.

Given all of this display’s picture quality characteristics, we can safely conclude that it has the highest color vibrancy of all the hybrid screens we’ve evaluated here at reatbyte. In addition, they introduced the HDR 400 function, which will increase the overall contrast and deepen the darks.The Asus ROG Strix XG27 AQ should not be confused with the XG27 U Q which is the 4K version of this monitor (and one of the best 4K gaming monitors, according to our testing). Also, it can get peack brightness of 400 nits to meet the requirement for DisplayHDR™ 400 certification. Settings can be saved to one of four memory slots and you can program two of the control keys for quick access to commonly used functions.

For the most majority of users, a 400 nits ratio is more than adequate, and it’s a safe bet even if your screen will be exposed to sunlight during your time of use. Continuing our review of Asus monitors of the week, today we have another model from the ROG STRIX series, this time featuring gaming and picture quality capabilities, as well as a few salty pricing. Though it works with adaptive sync at 170 Hz, it doesn’t make enough improvement in motion clarity to warrant turning off Dynamic Dimming.There are various variations, such as the games you wish to play, but it can all be boiled down to the above-mentioned issue.
