Asus has recently launched a new gaming monitor with a unique feature that sets it apart from others in the market. The new Asus ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG features a glossy white OLED (WOLED) panel, unlike other monitors that typically have a matte finish. This exclusive feature is only available in Asus’ ROG brand of monitors.
OLED panels are becoming more common in top gaming monitors due to their fast gaming performance and impressive HDR capabilities, despite their higher cost. The XG27AQDMG offers a 20% brighter light than other panels, resulting in deep black hues and sharp visuals in all lighting conditions.
The XG27AQDMG also boasts impressive specs, including a 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time and 240Hz refresh rate. It supports Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) strobing to reduce blurring during fast frame rates. The monitor is compatible with G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium, ensuring smooth synchronization with the frame rate output of your graphics card.
Like other Asus monitors, such as the ROG Strix XG27UCS, the XG27AQDMG comes with a built-in stand for smartphones and features RGB lighting through the ROG logo on the monitor’s back. The stand offers various adjustments, including height, swivel, tilt, and pivot.
The XG27AQDMG is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, providing deep blacks and impressive HDR performance. Connectivity options include a DisplayPort 1.4 input, two HDMI 2.0 ports, and a USB hub. Asus guarantees a three-year warranty for the monitor, covering OLED panel burn-in; however, the company has faced criticism for its RMA policy prompting them to improve communication and processes publicly.
For those looking for an upgrade to their gaming setup or an alternative to traditional LED panels on their computer screen; this sleek OLED monitor may be worth considering due to its unique feature set and high-end specifications.
