Enhance your gaming experience with fast, liquid-smooth performance with the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQM 27" 16:9 G-SYNC QHD 270 Hz HDR IPS Gaming Monitor. Designed for pro-grade gaming and content creation, this 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution monitor features a 270 Hz refresh rate through the DisplayPort inputs, a 0.5 ms response time, and ASUS ELMB (Extreme Low Motion Blur) technology that work together to deliver exceptionally smooth graphics with minimal blur. The graphics are further enhanced with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology, which reduces screen tearing, stuttering, and other artifacts from fast-action scenes with compatible graphics cards. DisplayHDR 400 certified high-dynamic range support provides realistic looking color with deep blacks and bright whites. At the same time, visual enhancements such as Dynamic Shadow Boost, GameVisual modes, and GamePlus hotkeys give you an edge against the competition. Other features include a 2-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub, and Aura Sync RGB lighting.
270 Hz Refresh Rate
This 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution monitor has a maximum refresh rate of 270 Hz through the DisplayPort inputs, which works with the 0.5 ms GtG response time to deliver silky smooth graphics during fast action sequences. The HDMI inputs are limited to 144 Hz and video game consoles may have a 120 Hz maximum refresh rate.
NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible
When connected to an NVIDIA G-SYNC-compatible graphics card, the monitor's refresh rate will sync and lock with the graphics card's output frame rate. Establishing this sync removes tearing and stuttering, which can result from conventional fixed screen refresh rates, especially important for gaming in stereoscopic 3D. An additional benefit of G-SYNC is reduced lag, so gamers will benefit from the improved command response time.
ASUS ELMB
ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) technology enables a 1 ms MPRT response time and provides users with sharp details and responsive movements. ELMB works alongside Adaptive-Sync technologies to deliver detailed visuals and high frame rates.
Deep Visuals
The 27" In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel is factory calibrated to deliver 16.7 million colors with high-dynamic range, covering 97% of the DCI-P3 and 150% of the sRGB spectrums at ΔE <2 accuracy for rich visuals featuring bright whites and deep blacks. Other features include a 400 cd/m² peak brightness and 1000:1 static contrast ratio.
