Asus has expanded its gaming monitor lineup with the release of the ROG Strix XG27ACS, which is already available for pre-order in the Chinese market at a price of 1999 yuan ($278). Let’s dive into its key features.
The monitor features a 27-inch Fast IPS display with a resolution of 2560×1440 (2K) and an impressive 180Hz refresh rate for a smooth gaming experience. It utilizes BOE’s advanced ADS Pro display technology to deliver vivid images and wide viewing angles.
The ROG Strix XG27ACS monitor is aimed at both professional and enthusiast gamers, offering 97% DCI-P3 color gamut and 133% sRGB color gamut for vivid and accurate color reproduction. VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified color accuracy with ΔE<2 makes it suitable for gaming and content creation.
Asus has implemented several proprietary technologies to enhance gaming performance. The monitor supports G-SYNC and FreeSync to ensure a seamless gaming experience across a wide range of graphics cards. It also features a 1ms GTG (gray to gray) pixel response time, as well as ELMB SYNC technology that reduces motion blur for crisp, clear images in fast-paced games.
For competitive gamers, AI-powered Game Plus technology offers real-time scene analysis and crosshair adjustment for improved shooting accuracy. Dynamic Shadow Boost and Variable Acceleration Drive 2.0 technologies further enhance image clarity and responsiveness to game action.
The monitor has a practical and ergonomic design, a square base that saves desk space, and a built-in phone stand. The ergonomic stand tilts forward and backward, swivels horizontally and vertically, and is height adjustable for comfortable viewing. In addition, it offers versatility with a 1/4-inch tripod socket on the monitor base, allowing users to attach cameras or additional screens.
It also supports a VESA wall mount for tight spaces. Users can easily customize settings using the DisplayWidget Center app, which eliminates the need for physical buttons on the monitor and allows for customization for different games and applications.
In terms of interfaces, the monitor features DP 1.4, headphone and HDMI 2.0, as well as a Type-C interface that can be used to charge phones, ROG PDAs or other devices while gaming. Asus also guarantees customer satisfaction by providing a three-year on-site service warranty.
