ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG 26.5″ QHD (2560×1440) Tandem WOLED 280Hz 0.03ms (GTG) Gaming Monitor – DisplayHDR 500 True Black, G-SYNC Compatible, FreeSync Premium Pro

ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG: A Fast OLED Monitor for Serious Gamers

The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG is a 26.5-inch OLED gaming monitor with a 2560×1440 (QHD) screen. First, it uses a Tandem WOLED panel, so each pixel makes its own light. Also, it runs at up to 280Hz with a 0.03ms (GTG) response time. Because of this, fast scenes look sharp and almost free of blur. For example, you can track a moving target in Valorant, CS2 or Apex Legends with very little ghosting. Overall, it is a strong OLED choice for players who want speed and picture quality together.

Tandem WOLED with True Black Contrast

OLED pixels can turn fully off. In addition, the screen reaches a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio, so black looks truly black. As a result, dark scenes in horror games, space games and movies show more depth. Likewise, the panel covers 99.5% of DCI-P3 and shows 10-bit color (1.07 billion colors), with a color accuracy of ΔE below 2. Besides that, the viewing angles reach 178°, so colors stay steady from the side.

TrueBlack Glossy Screen

The glossy finish keeps colors rich and blacks deep. For this reason, ASUS added a TrueBlack Glossy layer to the panel. Note that glossy screens can show reflections in a very bright room, so place the monitor away from strong light. Overall, it works best in a normal or dim room.

280Hz and 0.03ms for Fast Competitive Play

A 280Hz refresh rate shows up to 280 frames every second. In addition, this is far smoother than a 60Hz or 144Hz screen. As a result, flick shots and quick turns feel more direct. Also, the monitor supports G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, so your screen follows your frame rate and tears less. Moreover, ASUS lists Extreme Low Motion Blur for extra clean fast motion.

DisplayHDR 500 True Black and Gaming Tools

The monitor is VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black certified, with a peak HDR brightness of 1,500 cd/m² (ASUS notes it may vary). First, this gives bright highlights next to deep blacks. Also, tools like Shadow Boost, Dynamic Crosshair and GameFast Input help you spot enemies and react faster. In addition, the ASUS DisplayWidget Center lets you change settings with your mouse.

OLED Care and Eye Comfort

OLED screens need good care. Therefore, ASUS includes OLED Care, and the Neo Proximity Sensor can dim the screen when you leave your seat. Besides that, the monitor is TÜV Flicker-Free and TÜV Low Blue Light certified for long sessions. Moreover, ASUS lists a 3-year warranty that includes panel burn-in.

Ports, USB Hub and Stand

The monitor has one DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC) and two HDMI 2.1 ports, so it fits a gaming PC and a modern console. In addition, it has a 2-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub and an earphone jack. The stand gives 110mm of height adjustment, tilt, swivel and pivot. Also, it has a VESA 100×100 mount, a 1/4″ tripod socket, Aura Sync lighting and a Kensington lock slot. Overall, the XG27AQWMG is a premium OLED esports setup at Aleid, Qatar.
