The Asus ROG Strix XG27AQDMG offers a beautiful picture with rich colors, deep blacks, super-fast response time, and excellent HDR thanks to its impressive brightness. It’s also a solid pick for anyone looking for an extra layer of burn-in prevention. It competes well with its QD-OLED counterparts, though requires a bit more setup to get it there and a willingness to part ways with ELMB and, potentially, OLED Anti-Flicker.

The Asus ROG Strix XG27AQDMG is an excellent choice for gamers thanks to its high brightness and relative affordability, even though its most remarkable feature—the glossy finish on its OLED panel—isn't a showstopper.

The Asus ROG Strix XG27AQDMG has a third-generation LG WOLED panel that delivers superior brightness in HDR content.

Thanks to its wide Adobe RGB color gamut, rapid response time speed, 270Hz refresh rate, and smooth VRR and MBR performance, the ASUS XG27AQM is one of the best 27″ 1440p monitors out there, but the price isn’t as appealing.
