ROG Strix XG27ACMEG is a 27-inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) HDR gaming monitor designed for fast-paced play and professional use. It combines a high refresh rate with low response time and adaptive-sync technologies to deliver smooth, detailed visuals. The monitor includes USB Type-C (with DisplayPort Alt Mode) for simplified connectivity and software tools for easy on-screen adjustments.

Advantages

The monitor offers an ultrafast refresh rate up to 260 Hz (OC) and an ASUS Fast IPS panel capable of a 0.3 ms (min.) response time to reduce motion blur and maintain clarity at high frame rates. ELMB SYNC allows low motion blur together with variable refresh, while NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync compatibility help prevent tearing. Built-in HDR support and a 400 cd/m² typical brightness improve contrast and detail in supported content. USB Type-C with DP Alt Mode simplifies connections and DisplayWidget Center enables easy configuration with a mouse.
