About this deal

An important thing to consider for most users is how a screen will perform out of the box and with some basic manual adjustments. Since most users won’t have access to hardware colorimeter tools, it is important to understand how the screen is going to perform in terms of colour accuracy for the average user. Class 3) A lag of more than 16.66ms – the equivalent of more than 2 frames at a refresh rate of 120Hz – Some noticeable lag in daily usage, not suitable for high end gaming The LG is a prime competitor to the XG27UQ, offering very similar features and the exact same price. Unfortunately for Asus, it makes the Strix feel overpriced in comparison. The LG, for example, uses the company’s Nano IPS screen technology to offer more vivid colors, even when viewed at an angle – and it’s not just marketing fluff. Side by side, the LG offers a visibly richer picture. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene.

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. The XG27AQ ships with a calibration report, but we found a better image with a few adjustments. The native color gamut is DCI-P3 which is covered over 91% and hits its targets closely. Grayscale is a bit warm by default but easily aligned with the RGB sliders. Gamma is slightly light in tone but rides close to 2.2. An sRGB mode is included which delivers similar accuracy but is not adjustable. It does successfully reduce the color gamut though. Below are our recommended SDR settings. The ROG Strix XG27AQ is a product produced over at Asus. It headlines 2.560 × 1.440 pixel of sharpness . Its aspect ratio and superior clarity keeps it reasonable to exhibit it on screens that are grander than 27". Due to the fact that with higher sizes, you need more pixels to sustain a stark picture The advertised screen proportions of 16:9 allows this one to be suited for casual tasks. It is capable of assisting in gaming, internet surfing and productivity apps. All in all, it should keep you headache-free. Quite Average You can use our settings and try our calibrated ICC profile if you wish, which are available in our ICC profile database. Keep in mind that results will vary from one screen to another and from one computer / graphics card to another.Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. We use an ETC M526 oscilloscope for these measurements along with a custom photosensor device. Have a read of our response time measurement article for a full explanation of the testing methodology and reported data.

We retested the input lag after updating the Hardware Abstraction Layer through the ASUS Armoury Crate software. The input lag at the max refresh rate hasn't changed, but the 60Hz input lag is significantly lower and similar to most other high-end gaming monitors. It is worth noting that panel uniformity can vary from one screen to another, and can depend on manufacturing lines, screen transport and other local factors. This is only a guide of the uniformity of the sample screen we have for review. The input panel includes two HDMI 2.0 ports which can be used for consoles running at up to 120 Hz with adaptive sync and HDR, or up to 144 Hz with a PC. The single DisplayPort 1.2 accommodates 170 Hz signals with G-Sync or FreeSync and HDR. Audio is supported by a 3.5mm headphone output and two internal 2-watt speakers which play at polite volumes in the upper midrange frequencies. OSD Features of Asus ROG Strix XG27AQStyling 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.
