Product Information

Styling is distinctly Asus ROG with nothing to distract in the front. A small ROG logo adorns the 21mm wide trim strip across the bottom while the remaining bezel is flush, just 7mm wide when the image is present. The Asus ROG Strix XG27AQ makes a good candidate for multi-screen setups where a thin dividing line is desired. Alignment marks in the GamePlus menu aid in marrying the images together. The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. The Fast IPS panel, which is generally used in high-end displays, allows for a fast refresh rate while maintaining all of the color accuracy that IPS can give. Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. Although this figure is a consequence of the HDR support, we can’t dispute that it is a high-end feature.

Full HD (1920 X 1080) at 120Hz and 1440P (2560 x 1440) at 60Hz output on PS5, 1440P (2560 x 1440) at 120Hz VRR output on Xbox Series X/S The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. With better than average IPS contrast, the Asus ROG Strix XG27AQ delivers a nicely saturated image with plenty of depth and dimension. The Dynamic Dimming feature is very effective at increasing the contrast of graphical content like games and videos. We used it for all our play tests. It doesn’t do much for static Windows apps though. In fact, we preferred it turned off when working because it’s a bit slow to respond to changes in the overall picture level. We couldn’t see it operating when gaming. If I changed the mode to custom from any other mode it would also measure 2.2 as long as the monitor remained powered on. I will do more research if this could be linked to my display port 1.2 (I'm not using the once included because it is too short) and if this is the case I will edit this listing :)In general, we preferred this model’s design to that of its ultrawide counterpart; whereas this one exudes a gaming vibe, the ultrawide model can be classified as a casual-looking display owing to its overall aesthetics. Since 2016 I've used the Acer XB271HU 1440p, 165Hz, IPS, G-SYNC Module, 27" monitor for everything I did. That includes gaming, 3D modeling (Rhino3D, Maya, ZBrush), 3D rendering (Maxwell, VRay), photo editing (Photoshop, Lightroom), 2D graphics (Illustrator), and it did great for everything. I never calibrated it and colors were still decently good (not perfect) when printing physical copies of my work. For gaming, it was great and I could not have chosen a better monitor when I did for the various things I needed it for. Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. 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.

Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G).
