The Asus ROG Strix XG27ACSR-W monitor is a 27-inch gaming monitor from the ROG Strix series, designed for users who need fast and responsive image display when playing computer games or working with dynamic content. It belongs to the category of monitors with higher resolution and exceptional technical features that enable smoother and more realistic display of events on the screen.

The monitor allows you to play fast-moving games without visible lag or blur thanks to the high refresh rate of 220 Hz and a response time of 1 ms. This gives users a distinct advantage in competitive games, where image lag is minimal and movements are more fluid. The IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) additionally ensures a sharp image and good color accuracy at various viewing angles, which allows you to use the monitor for advanced multitasking tasks, such as editing video content or detailed graphics.

The brightness of 500 cd/m² enables clear visibility both in everyday use and in more demanding lighting conditions.

It is important to know

Before making a choice, it's crucial to check whether your computer and connection can support the desired refresh rate at QHD resolution. Also, consider your sitting distance and screen position for everyday use.

• The highest refresh rate is not guaranteed by choosing a monitor alone: check what combinations of resolution and frequency are supported by the graphics card, connector, and cable.
• QHD on a 27-inch screen is a balanced choice for gaming and work, but viewing comfort and text size also depend on your desk layout and display settings.
• If you will be using the screen for several hours a day, check the stand adjustment options in the technical specifications before purchasing; the information in the description is not sufficient to assess the flexibility of the placement.
