Product Overview

Asus ROG Strix XG27UQ is a high-end 27-inch 4K gaming monitor in Asus's 2020 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit IPS panel.

Notably, this monitor supports HDR up to DisplayHDR 400. In terms of color reproduction, one can expect above average performance. The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty.

Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.

Bright, colorful colors
Good speakers

Cons

No G-Sync
No Dolby Vision

ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQ has a large 4k screen that makes it suitable for work, gaming, or media consumption. Gaming feels responsive due to its low input lag and high refresh rate, and it has a fast response time. It has an outstanding SDR color gamut for viewing and creating content, but the contrast ratio is low, resulting in blacks that look gray in the dark.

Pros

Outstanding SDR color gamut
High pixel density results in outstanding text clarity
Good ergonomics
Large 4k screen with full sRGB coverage
Extremely bright screen with high pixel density
Excellent SDR Color gamut results in incredible text clarity

Cons

Low contrast ratio makes blacks look gray in the dark
Local dimming feature is terrible
Mediocre black uniformity
Image looks a bit washed out from the side

With 4K resolution at 27 inches, you'll see tiny fonts and objects with supreme clarity. Dynamic Dimming enhancer does a good job of increasing contrast by adjusting the backlight on a frame-by-frame basis. The Asus ROG Strix XG27UQ can definitely be on the Good HDR Monitors list.

Pros

Bright 4K panel
Excellent contrast
Good color accuracy

Cons

No HDR
No HDR support
