Overview
4K at 240 Hz on an IPS panel is the headline of the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCMG, a 27-inch gaming monitor that keeps text sharp at 163 ppi while still chasing frames. It reaches 400 nits with DisplayHDR 400, and a KVM switch, 15W USB-C and USB-A ports make it useful beyond games. The stand adjusts for height, swivel and portrait mode.
