Overview
Aimed at gamers, the Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS is a 27-inch IPS display with a 2560 × 1440 panel that refreshes at up to 180 Hz. It offers 109 ppi pixel density, 350 nits typical brightness (400 nits peak), 1000:1 static contrast and 133% sRGB and 97% DCI-P3 coverage. Variable refresh covers 48–180 Hz, quotes 3.6 ms response and supports FreeSync and G-Sync. Inputs include 1× HDMI 2.0, 1× DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C. The stand offers 120 mm of height adjustment, swivel and pivot. There are no speakers, and it weighs 6.61 kg with the stand. It suits players who want smooth motion for fast games. The main trade-off: USB-C output is only 5 W, too little to charge most laptops.
