ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS 27″ 2K 180Hz 1Ms Gaming Monitor

The ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS is a 27-inch gaming monitor with a QHD resolution (2560×1440) and a 180Hz refresh rate, which is well-suited for gamers seeking a smooth visual experience with responsive performance. It features a Fast IPS panel with a 1ms response time, ensuring clear motion even in fast-paced gameplay, and supports VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ELMB Sync to reduce motion blur without disabling adaptive sync.

This model is known for its color accuracy, especially in sRGB mode, making it a good choice for both gaming and tasks that require precise colors. However, the HDR performance is limited, as it lacks local dimming, resulting in less impactful highlights and a moderate contrast ratio. For connectivity, it includes HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C (for video only), though it doesn’t have internal speakers and has limited USB options​

Its design is ergonomic, offering height adjustment, tilt, swivel, and portrait rotation, and the build quality is durable with a premium feel. At around $300, it offers good value for those looking for a high-refresh-rate, color-accurate monitor at a mid-range price poin
