Overview
Aimed at gamers, the Asus ROG Strix XG27WCMS is a 27-inch VA display with a 2560 × 1440 panel that refreshes at up to 280 Hz. It offers 109 ppi pixel density, 400 nits typical brightness, 3000:1 static contrast and 125% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 coverage. Variable refresh covers 60–280 Hz, quotes 1 ms response and supports FreeSync Premium. Inputs include 1× HDMI 2.1, 1× DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C 15 W. The stand offers 120 mm of height adjustment and swivel. There are no speakers, and it weighs 7.2 kg with the stand. It suits competitive players who put frame rate first. The main trade-off: USB-C output is only 15 W, too little to charge most laptops.
