Product Overview

ASUS ROG Strix XG279Q is a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor with 170Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, 130% sRGB color coverage, and DisplayHDR 400 compatibility.
Featuring a fast IPS panel, the ROG Strix XG279Q also offers 95% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space without sacrificing refresh rate or response time. It also offers 1000:1 contrast ratio.
The XG279Q uses ASUS's Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) technology that realizes 1ms response time. The G-SYNC compatibility with the 170Hz refresh rate makes the ROG Strix XG279Q an interesting option for high-performance gaming.
A similar monitor in a 1500R-curved form factor (and VA panel) is the ROG Strix XG27WQ.

  • Some ghosting when overdrive is turned off
