Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

Visuals Redefine. Witness The Evolution.
The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG is a 27-inch QHD TrueBlack Glossy™ Tandem OLED gaming monitor that offers sharp visuals and features tandem OLED technology that offers 15% higher peak brightness, 25% wider color volume, and a 60% longer lifespan versus previous-generation WOLED monitors. Featuring the new Neo Proximity Sensor within the ASUS OLED Care Pro suite, the monitor is able to detect when the user is away and automatically transition to a black screen to guard against panel burn-in. Thanks to a compact stand, the XG27AQWMG takes up minimal desktop space. Plus, it offers users an extensive array of connectivity options, including DisplayPort™ 1.4 (DSC), HDMI® 2.1, and USB hub.

Gaming-Changing Visuals
Tandem OLED Technology
Tandem OLED technology pushes the boundaries with unrivaled OLED performance and longevity. It boasts an innovative four-layer stacked-structure design that allows for enhanced light emission, superior color reproduction, and significantly-longer panel lifespan compared to previous OLED panels.

15% Higher Brightness
Tandem OLED technology gives monitor brightness a boost, giving the XG27AQWMG 15% brighter visuals than WOLED panels—so visuals pop off the screen with incredible intensity to bring games and movies to life. Plus, the XG27AQWMG complies with the VESA DisplayHDR™ 500 True Black standard to ensure breathtaking highlights and inky blacks for unmatched contrast and realism.

25% Larger Color Volume
The innovative four-layer stacked structure of Tandem OLED panels gives the XG27AQWMG 25% larger color volume to show off more vibrant reds, deeper blues and every shade in between—especially when gaming in HDR. Colors are more accurate, more nuanced, and more lifelike, drawing viewers deeper into the action.

60% Longer OLED Lifespan
Tandem OLED technology offers exceptional panel longevity and energy efficiency, thanks to the four-layer design. Together with the built-in heatsink, the technology provides up to 60% longer lifespan compared to previous-generation OLEDs and significantly reduces the risk of burn-in to ensure years of stunning visuals without compromise.

Supersharp and clear imagery
Exclusive TrueBlack Glossy™ OLED
The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG features a new TrueBlack Glossy™ OLED panel with a zero-haze optical layer that presents deep blacks under any lighting. Its advanced anti-reflective coating reduces ambient reflections by 38% compared to previous-gen glossy WOLEDs, ensuring distraction-free gaming even in brightly lit rooms.

FOURTH-GENERATION WOLED TECHNOLOGY

Screen Protection
ASUS OLED CARE PRO
New ASUS OLED Care Pro technology provides a full set of customizable monitor settings to protect and ensure the longevity of the OLED panel. Plus, it includes the new Neo Proximity Sensor designed to guard against panel burn-in. All settings can be easily managed via DisplayWidget Center.

Neo Proximity Sensor
The built-in Neo Proximity Sensor precisely detects the user's distance from the monitor. When the user steps away, the monitor transitions to a black image to protect against panel burn-in; when the user returns, content is instantly restored onscreen. Detection distance can be customized to suit personal preference, ensuring maximum convenience and protection.
* Before activating the detection function, please ensure that the monitor sensor is properly angled and cleaned by using the bundled microfiber cloth.

Pixel cleaning
Recalibrates the screen when the monitor has been active for several hours―a process that takes just a few minutes and activates automatically when the monitor is turned off*
*Do not unplug the power cord during this time as it will interrupt the pixel-cleaning process.

SCREEN MOVE
Pixel locations are slightly shifted periodically to help prevent burn-in, and users can choose between several movement levels. movement levels.

Built to Last
Worry-free OLED Monitor
ROG OLED monitors are engineered to deliver stunning visuals for years to come. An innovative custom heatsink and a unique internal airflow design improve cooling and reduce the risk of burn-in. Additionally, each ROG monitor comes with a three-year warranty.

ROG OLED Anti-Flicker
ROG-exclusive OLED Anti-Flicker technology offers three refresh rate ranges ― High, Mid, Off ― to reduce flicker during frame rate fluctuations and maintain an immersive gaming experience.
*Videos may be simulated and dramatized for illustrative purposes.

Compact and Ergonomic Design
The new ROG Strix OLED series monitors feature a new compact stand that’s 30% smaller than those found on previous-generation XG monitors, freeing up valuable desk space for a keyboard and mouse. The stand offers tilt, swivel, and height adjustments for the ideal viewing position. The display is also VESA wall-mount-compatible.

Aspect Ratio Control
For competitive gamers who are more familiar with smaller 1080p monitors, the XG27AQWMG can be set to replicate a 24.5-inch (esports mode), as well as other visual modes.

DisplayWidget Center
DisplayWidget Center is a powerful monitor management software designed to help users optimize, personalize, and fully utilize their display via a mouse — so there's no need to access the OSD menu. Additionally, DisplayWidget Center offers firmware update notifications and includes a direct update option. Users can also import or export display configurations for sharing.

Play Smarter with AI Assistant
The AI Assistant in XG27AQWMG includes AI Visual, Dynamic Crosshair, and Dynamic Shadow Boost. These features leverage AI technology to help gamers practice more effectively to improve their skills.

Uniform brightness
When activated, the ROG-exclusive Uniform Brightness* setting within the OSD menu decreases peak brightness to keep levels consistent for better viewing—even when changing the size of bright white windows. It also makes marathon gaming sessions much more comfortable on the eyes.

Rich Connectivity
Extensive connectivity options such as DisplayPort™ 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC), two HDMI® 2.1, and USB hub for a wide array of multimedia devices.

How to use

Position the monitor on a stable surface and adjust height, tilt and swivel until the screen is at a comfortable viewing angle. Connect your source device using DisplayPort 1.4 for maximum PC refresh rates or HDMI 2.1 for console HDR features, and attach peripherals to the USB 3.2 Gen1 hub as needed. Use the DisplayWidget Center application or on-screen display to enable ASUS OLED Care Pro features, configure the Neo Proximity Sensor distance, select refresh rate and color presets, and update firmware where available. Allow automatic pixel cleaning cycles to complete when prompted to maintain panel performance.

Recommendations

To reduce the risk of image retention, enable ASUS OLED Care Pro functions (Neo Proximity Sensor, pixel cleaning and screen move), avoid leaving static high-contrast images on screen for extended periods, and clean the sensor with the supplied microfiber cloth before use. When performing pixel cleaning, do not unplug the monitor until the procedure completes.
