ASUS has unveiled another monitor that should interest fans of fast-paced games. The ROG Strix XG27ACMSR features a 27-inch Fast IPS panel, WQHD resolution and a refresh rate of up to 640 Hz! The manufacturer has implemented Triple Mode technology, allowing switching between three resolutions and refresh rates.
The new ASUS monitor uses a Fast IPS panel with a native resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. The manufacturer declares a response time of 1 ms GtG (minimum 0.3 ms), 95% DCI-P3 coverage, and a 1100:1 contrast ratio.
The most interesting feature is Triple Mode, which lets the user choose one of three operating modes:
Resolution | Refresh rate |
|---|---|
WQHD (2560 × 1440) | 360 Hz (OC) |
Full HD (1920 × 1080) | 420 Hz |
HD (1280 × 720) | 640 Hz |
This means that the maximum 640 Hz is available only at HD resolution. This solution is aimed primarily at esports players for whom smoothness and response time may be more important than image detail.
Not just hertz. ASUS is also focusing on motion blur reduction
The monitor supports ELMB-Sync, which lets you use adaptive image synchronization and backlight strobing at the same time to reduce motion blur. It also includes FreeSync Premium, G-Sync compatibility, and Variable Overdrive 2.0. ASUS has also implemented Smart Pixel technology, which is designed to improve image sharpness at lower resolutions.
HDR performs a bit worse. The monitor offers up to 400 nits of brightness and holds a DisplayHDR 400 certification, but it does not have local dimming of the backlight. So don’t expect a particularly striking HDR image. Connectivity includes HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C.
Price and availability date for the monitor in Poland remain unknown.
