ASUS Fast IPS Display allows the display’s liquid crystal elements to switch up to 8X faster than conventional IPS panels for improved response. With a 0.5ms* gray-to-gray response time, smearing and motion blur are virtually eliminated. This display also delivers superior images with outstanding colors thanks to DCI-P3 97% color gamut and an astounding 1,000:1 contrast ratio. Wide 178-degree viewing angles ensure minimal distortion and color shift even when you're viewing from extreme positions.The Asus XG27AQM renders 100% sRGB and 95% of DCI-P3 for stunning color in games and movies. However, its default accuracy isn’t as impressive since the deltaE average was too high with an average of 3.21. The screen isn’t factory-calibrated like the XB273UGX, but it is not going to be a big issue if you only plan to use it for gaming. The Asus XG27AQM is an excellent gaming monitor with the right design and features to help you maximize your competitive experience. It’s crazy fast and it is vibrant, so games will look smooth and eye-popping all the time. The overall aesthetic isn’t always a hit, but its solid build and reliable materials will ensure that it lasts quite a while. ROG Strix XG27AQMR with IGZO panel provides energy-efficient* standard meets the requirements of the ENERGY STAR®.

ROG monitors are known to be chunkier than their competitors, but that should be okay for standard desk sizes. This model needs a little over ten inches of depth due to its well-built and very supportive stand. It is heavier than some options, but assembly and setup should be easy for most users without needing extra hands. The Asus XG27AQM is compatible with both FreeSync and G-Sync so finding a suitable GPU will not be a problem. Both brands have ideal cards for this monitor, so it is nice to have the freedom to choose in today’s unstable video card market. Input lag sits at 2.5ms at 270Hz, making this monitor one of the fastest 1440p variants available. Thoughts on the Asus XG27AQMProvides a wider range of colors with a cinema-standard DCI-P3 97% and sRGB 150% color gamut.

If all else was equal I’d be surprised if anyone could tell the difference in Hz only between 240 and 300 but ‘if’ the panel can handle fast moving images better then that may be noticeable. I have a 240Hz and 144Hz displays, both 1440p. If I set the 240Hz to 144Hz it still looks clearer than my native 144Hz with fast moving images because it’s a better performing panel. Asus employs its Fast IPS technology with the XG27AQMR, as it did with the XG27AQM. However, the company is quoting a response time of 1ms for its latest entry, versus 0.5ms for the XG27AQM. But Asus has made gains in other areas thanks to the inclusion of DisplayHDR 600 certification (up from DisplayHDR 400); typical brightness remains the same at 350 nits. With exclusive ASUS Aura Sync lighting technology, ROG Strix XG27AQM provides ambient lighting that can be synchronized with other Aura-enabled components and peripherals. The other factor is a high quality higher refresh should have less ghosting or inverse ghosting leading to sharper fast moving images which helps accuracy. Calibrating it with a colorimeter revealed the true quality of the Asus XG27AQM since it reduced the dE average to 0.45. This is a common occurrence with the new IPS models, but it still doesn’t mean that you should buy a colorimeter if you are only gaming. We recommend trying the OSD out manually first to find a setting that looks correct to you before spending more money.
