ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS Gaming Monitor – 27" 2560x1440, 180Hz (Above 144Hz), 1ms (GTG), Fast IPS, Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync, USB Type-C, G-Sync compatible

After buying a ROG Ally I quickly became a fan of ASUS products, and after owning this monitor for around six months I can confidently say I love it. The build quality is exceptional - easily the most solid monitor I’ve owned - and the screen quality is outstanding. Colours are vibrant, the image is sharp, and it performs flawlessly whether I’m gaming, working, or watching content. Setup was straightforward, and everything about it feels premium and well thought out. It’s not cheap, but it earns that price. The matte coating prevents reflection well. It works brilliantly across PC and console (and I do use it for both), delivers consistently excellent picture quality, and feels like a genuine all-rounder rather than a compromise. Minor backlight bleed can be noticed in completely dark scenes, but it’s not something I ever notice in normal use. Overall, this is a high-quality, feature-packed monitor that absolutely lives up to the ROG name, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

This monitor from ROG does not disappoint. Here's the categories Ease of Assembly and set up This monitor is very easy to Assemble with the stand or a Vesa mount (I have tried both for the sake of this review. I do permanently use vesa mount for my wall). It's easy, instructions are straight forward and the overall build quality is brilliant. The same goes for plugging in the cables to set this monitor up, its very simple and I like that this monitor has a cable cover to help organise and protect your cables if you're using multiple HDMI, display port, USB's etc. Screen quality This monitors screen quality is insane. Absolutely brilliant. I first tested watching YouTube on my PC and playing a few games. The display is bright with vivid colours and crisp detail. The HDR is also very good allowing customised presets for Gaming and Cinema (watching films) which I believe is a really nice feature as it just improves the experience of this monitor compared to others. I then swapped to my PlayStation 5 and was again left amazed by the amazing quality this monitor offers, games look fabulous on this monitor and the fact it supports VRR is a whole other bonus in itself. For me, this monitor is brilliant as my PC runs an RTX 3070 which can only do 1440p while the PS5 is of course capable of 8K. This monitor means I get pristine graphics at 1440p regardless of which device I'm using meaning I didn't have go compromise quality because of my PC. Other details This monitor comes very well packaged, included with the monitor is 1x ROG Branded HDMI Cable 1x ROG Branded DP Cable 1x ROG Branded USB Hub Cable Both UK and European power supplies These cables are extremely high quality and ensure you're getting the best out of this monitor. Another nice touch I like is these cables come packaged in a really nice small netted Zip bag with the ROG logo on it which can be re used to store whatever you want. I have an ROG Backpack I use for work so I'm going to use this netted bag to store my adapters and SD cards within my backpack. I find this little addition a nice touch and I'm very happy with it. Final Comments & summary Overall, I love this monitor. Yes, it's very expensive, but for that higher price you're getting a monitor that is feature packed, very high quality and absolutely the best of its class in the 1440p range. Republic Of Gamers products are well known for their high quality, this monitor is no different. Not only is it great for Gaming and movies, it's color accuracy means editing and content Creation on this monitor is also very good making it a fabulous all rounder for people who work and play. There are many reviews on here that mention Back-light bleed, yes this is present on this monitor. Is it a massive issue making it unusable? I do not personally think so. Its not noticeable when in general use (Ie. Browsing, gaming, etc) the only time I notice it when the screen is completely pitch black on YouTube. If you do decide to purchase this monitor, I'd like to think you won't be disappointed. ROG have once again made a great product and while very expensive compared to its competitors, it is certainly worth the extra investment. (Also make sure to make an ROG Elite Member account and register the products serial number to earn points to exchange for rewards on the ROG website. This also registers the warranty at the same time)

Brilliant monitor thats ideal for many types of games with its selection of options and filters If your playing horror games that rely on darkness and shadows then it has the appropriate filter and functions to get the most out of the graphics without having to tweak in-game quality. If your playing fast-space games like racing titles, Spiderman, Ballistic-NG then it has the option for anti-blur, a vivid filter to brighten up the picture. It has HDR for games that use it like Horizon Zero Dawn. The high refresh rate gives you zero lag response time. The lower resolution compensates for high refresh rate so you dont need a high end GPU to get the most out of it. It has G-Sync which gives more cooperation between your CPU, GPU and the monitor, everything works in tandem with each other. It can be overclocked for more increased refresh rate but I personally dont see the point in 170fps if the technology isnt there to maintain such a high frame rate, this may make the monitor run hot, it has a built-in fan for that reason. Use with caution. My only advice is to not have this monitor close to your eyes if you lack the space, hence why I have it on the wall, if its too close, the bright picture, vivid colours can potentially give you headache or eyestrain. A wall mount is recommended, I couldnt fully enjoy it until it was on the wall. It also has built-in speakers but they are very tinny and lack bass, they sound like speakers that came from a PSP device. Not very good but I suppose they are a last resort if you dont have speakers. The control buttons are easy to navigate too as it has like a litle nub you can push around to go through the settings. Was using a 4K 60Hz monitor for years. As much as I loved the clarity of 4K but it was just too demanding on my GPU on some games. 2K and higher refresh rate seems to be the way forward

8 mois que j'ai cette écran, je pense réalisé un avis assez positif. J'utilise l'écran quotidiennement et a sont plein potentiel, il à une bonne luminosité, il à de belles couleurs et très peut de fuite de lumière. Si je devais lui donner un défaut c'est le pied, mais il peux être une qualité car il est très beau mais prend pas mal de place, mais il y a moyen de le changer pour un autre pied au cas où (et c'est pas donner pour tout les écrans) En conclusion je trouve que c'est un écran qui respire la qualité et a l'heure actuel un super compromis pour les joueurs de fps ou de jeux AAA avec un écran 2k, 170Hz et HDR.

Very nice 4k (160 Hz) monitor, for the price point.

Der Monitor kam sehr ordentlich und sicher verpackt an. Auspacken war einfach. Ein Zusammenbau ist alleine ohne Probleme möglich und gut beschrieben. Der Monitor ist vorab kalibriert. Das Messergebnis liegt bei. Die Grundfunktionalitäten werden ausreichend beschrieben. Mit dem mitgelieferten Ständer steht der Monitor sehr sicher. Der Platzverbrauch hält sich im Rahmen. Schade an dieser Stelle ist, dass ASUS für dieses recht neue Modell keinen passenden Fuß (klemmbar, z. B. für den Tisch) für den Schreibtisch anbietet. Das einzige findbare Modell von ASUS ist leider nicht kompatibel und musste zurückgeschickt werden. Ich benutze das Gerät sowohl über HDMI als auch über Display-Port. Das Gerät findet den aktiven Anschluss automatisch und ohne Probleme. Die beigelegten Komponenten (Stromversorgung, Kabel) sind hochwertig. Das Menü vom Monitor ist selbsterklärend und über die "Buttons" auf der rechten Rückseite gut bedienbar. Der Monitor hat keine Lautsprecher und keine zusätzliche Beleuchtung für visuelle Effekte. Er kann sehr gut auf die gewünschte und individuelle Sicht eingestellt werden (Höhe und Betrachtungswinkel). Das Bild ist eine Wucht!!! Von der Helligkeit musste ich ihn etwas runterstellen. Die Ausleuchtung ist optimal, auch in den Ecken. Home office macht richtig Spaß, die Augen ermüden nicht. Ich arbeite als Standard mit 144 Herz und spiele auch mit der Frequenz. Beim Gaming kann ich keinen wesentlichen Unterschied im Vergleich zu einer höherer Bildschirm-Frequenz feststellen. 4K ist möglich, aber in Summe (zumindest fürs Gaming) nicht zu empfehlen. Da gibt es bessere Modelle. Ich hätte dieses Modell gerne als 34 Zöller gehabt, so wie mein Vorgängermodell von Acer. Konnte mich aber schnell an die neue (kleinere) Größe gewöhnen. Kleine Negativerfahrung: beim erstmaligen Aufbau fiel der ASUS ROG Logo-Aufkleber an der Frontunterseite ab. Darf bei diesem Preis eigentlich nicht passieren. Fazit: nach wochenlanger Suche, und dem endlosen Lesen und recherchieren von Tests, habe ich einen für mich passenden Monitor gefunden, der sowohl im home office als auch beim Gaming überzeugt. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt für mich.

Totalmente recomendable,pedazo de monitor,los colores son muy alegres,regulable en altura,giro,cabezeo,muy contento con el,calidad asus,ni fugas de luz,ni pixeles muertos,con mi ryzen 7800x 3d y la 7900xtx juego a todo en 4k a los 144 hrz que lo tengo configurado.

Got a dead pixel after 2 months in the middle of the screen. No repair from Asus since the minimum is 3. Last time I’ll be buying asus.
