Overview
The Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG pairs a 27-inch IPS panel at 3840 × 2160 with a refresh rate of up to 160 Hz. It offers 163 ppi pixel density, 350 nits typical brightness (400 nits peak), 1000:1 static contrast and 130% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 coverage. Variable refresh covers 48–160 Hz, quotes 1 ms response and supports FreeSync Premium and G-Sync. Inputs include 1× HDMI 2.1, 1× DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C 15 W. The stand offers 120 mm of height adjustment, swivel and pivot. There are no speakers, and it weighs 6.6 kg with the stand. It suits players who want smooth motion for fast games. The main trade-off: USB-C output is only 15 W, too little to charge most laptops.
