The ASUS ROG Strix 27” 1440P USB-C HDR Gaming Monitor is designed to provide better screen performance with a QHD display that provides clearer pictures with higher resolutions and a clearer view compared to lower-end 1080p displays. ASUS designed the display to also focuses on providing ease-of-use functionality that will be important as you use it regularly. This includes a flat finish to reduce glare, a simple stand, and motion performance that prevents fast-moving objects from blurring into a blurred mess.
A crisp, responsive gaming monitor perfect for fast-paced titles
The ROG Strix monitor’s fast IPS panel delivers high sharpness and fast video playback. Video games have much greater detail, and the display is at a resolution that represents a true improvement to your gaming experience while requiring less of your computer’s processing power than a 4K display would. Additionally, ASUS states that the display covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space, enhancing the richness and vibrancy of games, movies, and artwork. Finally, the monitor is HDR-capable, providing greater brightness in bright images and additional contrast in dark images. This results in a much deeper, richer picture than you would expect from a standard office monitor.
Where the display truly stands out from lower-cost monitors is its ability to handle high speeds. The display can run at up to 270Hz with an overclocked refresh rate and a 1ms grey-to-grey response time. Both of these specifications allow for quick camera movements, keeping racing and shooting games clear rather than smudged together. Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync operates in conjunction with variable refresh rate to eliminate both ghosting and tearing. G-SYNC compatibility with supported NVIDIA cards provides an alternative to maintain motion clarity.
The USB-C connection reduces the number of cables needed to attach the monitor to various devices. The USB Type-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode, allowing a compatible laptop or mobile device to connect directly to the monitor without the added clutter of cables. In addition, ASUS includes DisplayWidget Center, which lets you modify the monitor’s settings with your mouse rather than using the on-screen menu with physical buttons.
The ASUS ROG Strix 27” 1440P USB-C HDR Gaming Monitor offers excellent value at a sale price of $230 versus the regular MSRP of $399. If you are looking for a fast QHD gaming screen that offers improved motion quality, a wider color range, and a cleaner connection method, then this is a great option for you.
