ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCS 27 Inch 4K UHD 160Hz IPS Panel 130% SRGB 1MS AMD Freesync Gaming Monitor

The ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCS is a 27-inch 4K gaming monitor built for players who refuse to compromise between resolution and speed. Its Fast IPS panel renders every frame at a native 3840 x 2160 resolution while sustaining a 160 Hz maximum refresh rate — a combination that suits both competitive multiplayer titles and visually demanding single-player games alike. Motion clarity is anchored by a 1 ms grey-to-grey response time, keeping fast-moving objects sharp during high-action sequences. ASUS ELMB Sync technology layers backlight strobing on top of variable refresh rate simultaneously, eliminating ghosting and screen tearing in one pass. Variable Overdrive continuously fine-tunes the overdrive setting as frame rates shift, so you get optimal pixel response regardless of in-game pacing. Color fidelity is a clear strength. The panel covers 95% of the DCI-P3 colour space and 130% of sRGB, and each unit is factory-calibrated for consistent grey-scale tracking across a 6-axis colour adjustment system. With 1,073.7 million colours rendered at 10-bit depth, gradients appear smooth and banding-free. VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification is backed by a 400 cd/m² typical brightness and 450 cd/m² peak HDR brightness, with HDR10 signal support. TÜV Rheinland Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light certifications make extended sessions more comfortable. For variable-rate gaming, AMD FreeSync Premium certification is confirmed, and G-SYNC Compatible certification is pending — check ASUS for the latest status. The operating refresh range spans 48 Hz to 160 Hz over both DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 inputs. A USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode rounds out video connectivity, and it delivers up to 15 W of power delivery to connected devices. AI-assisted GamePlus technology analyses screen scenes in real time to optimise the crosshair overlay, while Dynamic Shadow Boost lifts shadow detail in dark scenes without clipping highlights. The DisplayWidget Center software lets you adjust OSD settings from your desktop without touching physical controls. Ergonomics are comprehensive: the stand offers tilt (−5° to +20°), swivel (±45°), pivot (±90°), and 120 mm of height adjustment, with 100 × 100 mm VESA compatibility for wall or arm mounting. A built-in phone holder on the stand and a Kensington lock slot add practical utility. No integrated speakers are included.
