With its gaming-first specs, exceptional color production, and host of everyday conveniences, the ROG Strix XG27ACS truly raises the bar for what you can expect from a wallet-friendly gaming monitor.
Right at the sweet spot for gaming
For many folks, QHD 1440p monitors sit right in the Goldilocks zone. They offer substantially more visual detail than an FHD 1080p displays, yet even gamers with mainstream graphics cards can enjoy high FPS at this resolution in just about any title they care to play. And in the popular 27-inch size, QHD displays offer a crisp picture without distracting pixelation.
The 27-inch ROG Strix XG27ACS builds its credentials on this powerhouse pairing of a 1440p resolution and a 180Hz refresh rate — and then bolsters your experience even further with everything you need for fast, smooth gaming. G-Sync compatible tech banishes screen tearing while ensuring tear-free, low-latency animation. A lightning-fast 1ms response time (GTG) makes sure you can track fast-paced action with confidence. And integrated ASUS Variable Overdrive technology dynamically adjusts the monitor’s overdrive setting as frame rates fluctuate, ensuring optimal results for any game.
But there’s more. ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) gives you a powerful option to eliminate ghosting for an impeccable field of view around fast-moving content. ELMB SYNC works hand-in-hand with variable refresh rate technology so that you can have crystal-clear images, lightning-quick animation, and tear-free gaming all at the same time.
The ROG Strix XG27ACS offers color performance for days
Many of today’s games are artistic masterpieces. Whether you’re watching the sun set over a lonely mesa in Red Dead Redemption 2, splitting lanes on a high-speed chase through Night City in Cyberpunk 2077, or fending off photorealistic nightmares in Alan Wake II, you want to enjoy each frame as its creators intended.
We have years of expertise in fine-tuning displays for vivid, accurate colors, and we’ve brought that full experience to bear on the ROG Strix XG27ACS. We selected a Fast IPS panel, a type known for wide viewing angles and vibrant images. This monitor goes above and beyond in the brightness and contrast departments, as attested by its VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
For saturated, vibrant colors, this display covers 133% of the sRGB color gamut and 97% of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut. This monitor undergoes a rigorous set of factory checks and calibrations to ensure exceptional out-of-the-box color accuracy — in fact, you’ll find a calibration e-report in the on-screen display (OSD) menu.
Everyday conveniences
To make the ROG Strix XG27ACS an easy addition to your full desktop setup, we equip it with a rich set of connectivity options and a host of convenient extras.

Plenty of today’s laptops rely on USB Type-C for connecting external displays, so this port ensures that you can hook up the XG27ACS without needing to purchase yet another dongle. Additionally, it’s wired for 7.5W USB power delivery, so you can also use it to top off your smartphone or peripherals while you’re gaming.
The stand of the ROG Strix XG27ACS goes above and beyond what you might expect from a mainstream display. It includes a ¼” tripod socket at the top so that you can securely mount a webcam, portable display, or camera. The base includes a smartphone holder so that you can keep an eye on your notifications while using your PC. The stand includes a full set of ergonomic adjustments, including tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments.
