Our take
This ROG Strix monitor delivers exactly what gamers want: high refresh rate and fast response. The 180Hz is noticeably smooth, and the Fast IPS panel keeps colors accurate even at high speeds. I love the USB-C input, making it easy to connect my laptop. At $289.99, it's competitively priced for a 27-inch QHD 180Hz monitor. However, the HDR400 is basic; don't expect true HDR performance. The stand is bulky, and the on-screen menu is clunky. Overall, it's a great gaming monitor without breaking the bank.
