About this product
The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ is a 27-inch gaming monitor featuring a WQHD resolution (2560x1440), a 170Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms response time. It uses an IPS panel with 400 cd/m² brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. Inputs include DisplayPort, HDMI 2.0, and USB 3.0. It also has built-in speakers. Priced at $199.99 in excellent condition.
Our take
This ROG Strix monitor hits a sweet spot for gamers: 1440p resolution, 170Hz refresh rate, and IPS goodness. The 1ms response keeps motion clear, and the 400-nit brightness is respectable. I appreciate the inclusion of both DisplayPort and HDMI 2.0, plus USB 3.0 for peripherals. Built-in speakers are handy for casual use, though they won't impress audiophiles. At $200 used, it's a strong value for high-refresh 1440p gaming—just ensure it's truly excellent condition.
