The Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG AI gaming monitor, unveiled last May, has an official product page with detailed information, including some new features. As is well known, it is a 27-inch Fast IPS monitor with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) and 160Hz, which can be switched to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) and 320Hz at any time if moving image sharpness and input lag take precedence over image quality.
According to the specs, the new AI monitor offers a 1 ms fast gray change, 10-bit color depth (presumably 8-bit + FRC), 400 cd/m² peak brightness, and a 1000:1 contrast. The Display HDR 400 monitor covers 130 percent of the sRGB color space and 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color space.
The new Asus ELMB-Sync monitor also offers FreeSync Premium or G-Sync-compatible Adaptive Sync, and you can combine it with an anti-blur tool. This combination should push moving image sharpness to new heights.
You can control GamePlus functions, such as the black stabilizer, via the OSD. Asus has also included Aura Sync lighting. Asus has also thought of Aura Sync lighting. The 27″ 4K HDR monitor monitor offers HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C (DP mode with 15-watt PD), and a headphone output. All graphic inputs support 160 Hz at 4K and 320 Hz at Full HD.
