ROG STRIX XG259QNS
ROG STRIX XG259QNS: 1080p gaming so fast it’s ridiculous
Larger numbers aren’t always better. Having a monitor with an extremely high refresh rate gives esports players a competitive edge. Not only may you see your opponent before they notice you, but your system’s overall input lag the interval between a mouse click and an on-screen action will probably be reduced as well.
Introducing the ROG STRIX XG259QNS, a 1080p 380Hz display built from the bottom up for gamers that require the quickest possible performance. Even though 1080p is now more popular than 1440p for 27-inch monitors, 1080p still provides good pixel density for 25-inch screens and allows for significantly faster refresh rates. Games that need fast reaction times and fluid motion will feel fantastic on this monitor because to its lightning-fast 380Hz refresh rate, ultra-low 0.3ms grey-to-grey response time, and support for Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync . In addition to lowering ghosting and motion blur, ELMB Sync works in tandem with FreeSync Premium to maintain a tear-free image even when framerates decrease.
They combine flawless image quality with the XG259QNS’s lightning-fast Fast IPS panel. With 110% of the sRGB colour spectrum covered, the display offers vivid and strong colours that will make your material and games come to life. Additionally, you can add even more realism to your setup by turning on HDR mode in compatible games and movies thanks to its VESA DisplayHDR 400 rating. The ROG STRIX XG259QNS is a monitor that is highly responsive and reasonably priced, making it a good option for gamers looking for one.
ROG STRIX XG27ACS: The optimal 1440p wavelength
For the average gamer, the ROG STRIX XG27ACS may have the best specifications. Esports titles and adventure games will look their finest on the XG27ACS, which has a resolution of 1440p and a refresh rate of 180Hz. Not only is this fast IPS panel G-SYNC compatible, but it also has a 1ms reaction time, which reduces ghosting to almost non-existent. Turn on Extreme Low Motion Blur for even crisper motion. Furthermore, as demonstrated by its DisplayHDR 400 certification, the XG27ACS will enable you to experience improved contrast and brightness in your gaming.
The 27-inch XG27ACS is immersive enough to keep you focused on your games, yet it will fit nicely on most medium-sized workstations and even some smaller ones. Select from the tried-and-true DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 connectors, or use USB Type-C connectivity to connect to more modern gadgets. Additionally, the base of the display has an integrated cell phone holder, providing your phone with a handy place to be visible while playing.
The benefits don’t stop there. A few quality-of-life features, such as AI-powered benefits, really set the XG27ACS apart from the competition. For a competitive edge in low light conditions, Dynamic Shadow Boost automatically brightens dark regions without overexposing bright places, and ASUS Variable Overdrive dynamically modifies the overdrive settings as frame rates change, reducing inverse ghosting artefacts. Although a gaming monitor, the XG27ACS delivers rich and lifelike colours with 97% DCI-P3 and 133% sRGB coverage. If you want a display that satisfies all gamers’ needs, the ROG STRIX XG27ACS may be best. ROG STRIX XG27WCS: Curved 1440p gaming in a darkened room
With a few notable exceptions, the next monitor to join theSTRIX XG family is fairly similar to its IPS sibling. The ROG STRIX XG27WCS is primarily distinguished by its curved display. Although it is modest, this 1500R curve ensures that viewing angles are always ideal. In addition, the XG27WCS has a VA panel, which has a 3000:1 contrast ratio and deeper blacks than an IPS display. This is particularly noticeable if you’re the type of player that turns down the lights before starting an extended gaming session.
With its integrated ASUS Display Overdrive 2.0, the ROG STRIX XG27WCS counteracts the tendency of VA screens to respond more slowly than IPS panels. With its automatic flexibility with refresh rate fluctuations, this technology maintains low response times so you may experience those deeper blacks without experiencing excessive or inverse ghosting.
The XG27WCS’s 95% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space results in virtually similar colour accuracy. It possesses the strong connectivity of its IPS cousin and is compatible with AMD FreeSync and ELMB Sync, which assist prevent screen tearing and maintain fluid motion. The XG27WCS is a good option if you enjoy VA panels and are searching for a cheap gaming monitor from STRIX.
ROG STRIX XG27UCS: 4K video production and gaming
Some gamers require even more fidelity, even while 1440p provides a discernible improvement in clarity over the 1080p monitors ASUS are all familiar with. Introducing the 27-inch 4K 160Hz IPS gaming display, the ROG STRIX XG27UCS. With specifications that are sure to excite even the most seasoned PC gamer, the XG27UCS boasts an amazing pixel density that makes games and multimedia entertainment wonderfully immersive. The XG27UCS is prepared to work whether you’re working on a professional project that requires native 4K resolution, dabbling in esports, or enjoying an adventure game.
Similar in specifications to the two preceding monitors, the XG27UCS is certainly no slouch. Even the most powerful systems will be challenged by the 160Hz refresh rate at 4K, and the combination of ELMB Sync and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility will ensure fluid gameplay on this IPS screen even at variable framerates. With the DisplayHDR 400 certification, you can fully utilise the wide colour gamut, resulting in vibrant games and accurate colour in your professional projects.
These three 27-inch gaming monitors are all compatible with ASUS DisplayWidget Centre software and have a wide range of connectivity options. With this programme, you can adjust brightness, colour temperature, blue light filter intensity, and other settings without having to fiddle with the monitor’s physical buttons or OSD. Among the many ROG features aimed at maximising your gaming time rather than tinkering with settings is DisplayWidget Centre.
Resolution or refresh rate: Why not both on the ROG STRIX XG27UCG?
Gamers have always had to choose between a greater refresh rate and a better resolution, which can be challenging. While certain games are optimised for ultra-fast refresh rates, others truly gain from the enhanced clarity and visual fidelity that comes with a higher resolution display. You don’t have to agonise over your decision anymore thanks to the ROG STRIX XG27UCG, which provides the best of both worlds.
In addition to providing stunning images in its original resolution, this 4K 160Hz Fast IPS panel also has an esports-ready counterpart in the works. It changes into a monster capable of 1080p at 320Hz for esports with only a single hotkey press. Whatever game or style you’re in the mood for at the time, the XG27UCG is always prepared to please.
ROG STRIX OLED XG27AQDMG: A futuristic look
We’re going to showcase one last 27-inch display, which is really something exceptional. The ROG STRIX OLED XG27AQDMG introduces OLED technology to the XG series, offering remarkable contrast ratios and response speeds for vivid, clear visuals.
The XG27AQDMG, with its 240Hz refresh rate and 1440p resolution, is already a great monitor for casual gamers. But never before have images in motion looked so clear a 0.03 ms grey-to-grey response time made possible only by OLED technology. Furthermore, the XG27AQDMG has a glossy panel that is only available through ROG, which produces deep blacks and incredibly sharp images in any lighting scenario. This allows you to concentrate on the game rather than your ambient lighting. With 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour palette and a contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, this monitor gives every image a rich, bright appearance.
With its W OLED panel and MLA+ technology, the XG27AQDMG provides 20% brighter images and broader viewing angles. You can have peace of mind without having to deal with noise since an innovative bespoke passive heatsink provides for ample heat dissipation without the need for an active cooling fan. The ROG OLED monitor’s remarkable value proposition is further enhanced by additional features like as customisable aspect ratios, uniform brightness throughout the desktop, and support for ASUS Display Widget Centre. The future appears like this.
When a larger screen is required, choose the ROG STRIX XG32WCMS
It can be difficult to top the immersion provided by the ROG STRIX XG32WCMS for individuals with slightly larger workstations. In addition to having the most real estate of any display on this list, this 32-inch curved 1440p monitor also has an incredibly quick refresh rate of 280 Hz. The XG32WCMS has something for everyone, whether you’re looking for the amazing realism that a larger display can offer in single player games or a lightning-fast refresh rate for a competitive advantage in multiplayer shooters.
The XG32WCMS is a flexible monitor that would look well on the desk of a wide variety of gamers. It has many of the same capabilities as the other XG series monitors, such as ELMB Sync, support for USB Type-C video input and DisplayWidget Centre, and an integrated tripod socket in the stand. The standout features include a discreet 1500R curve, a 1ms GTG response time because of the quick VA panel, and FreeSync Premium.
