There are marginally cheaper 144Hz capable screens than this one, but they won't have the same visual impact as this one will create on your desk. Admittedly some of the more glitzy features aren't well considered, but you can deactivate them if they...

Asus ROG Strix XG27UQ 4K 144Hz Monitor Review: Faster Than Fast

Nearly perfect

Quickest 4K monitor we’ve tested ; Richly saturated color ; Dynamic Dimming effectively increases contrast ; Usable sRGB mode ; Good build quality

The Asus ROG Strix XG27UQ is one of the best gaming monitors we’ve tested, but you’ll need to pair it with a very capable PC to see its full capability. If you can, you’ll be rewarded with killer HDR, vibrant color and superb video processing. It...

ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ Review

The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ is an excellent gaming monitor from ASUS's Republic of Gamers lineup. It's a refreshed version of the ASUS ROG Strix XG279Q, so the pan...

Good text clarity. Wide viewing angles. Exceptional color gamut. Low input lag. 170Hz refresh rate. Large screen with high resolution. Incredibly fast response time.

Black uniformity is only okay. Mediocre contrast ratio. May struggle with glare in really bright rooms. Not bright enough to make HDR highlights pop.

The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ is a great all-around monitor. Its high refresh rate, fast response time, low input lag, and VRR support make it an excellent choice for gaming. Its size and resolution are also well-suited to productivity and content...
