Increasing refresh rates is a constant when it comes to making the latest generations of monitors, especially gaming ones like this ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQMR, which achieves 300 Hz.

The monitor is equipped with a Fast IPS panel, which has recently been widely used in high-end because it offers better image quality than VA while maintaining gaming functions. Its diagonal is 27 inches and the native resolution is the already mentioned WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels), while the 1 millisecond response time is four times slower than a standard IPS panel and eliminates blurring and motion blur.

The refresh rate of 300 Hz is just right the maximum achieved by the industry for this resolution which will offer the benefits of visual fluidity in first-person shooters, racing, real-time strategy and sports titles. The panel supports 97% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 120% of sRGB.

It supports HDR10 high dynamic range and is certified for HDR 600 display with a maximum brightness of up to 600 nits. It has G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro image synchronization technologies combined with others from the manufacturer, such as ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync and functions such as GameFast Input, GameVisual or Dynamic Shadow Boost, which automatically lighten dark areas of the game without changing other areas, which improves the overall view and makes it easier to spot enemies hidden in dark areas of the map.

It has an ergonomic base with tilt, roll, swivel and height adjustments. It includes digital video input ports, one Display Port 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports. It also has a USB hub port compatible with version 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gb/s), for charging or connecting peripherals. No price has been provided for this ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQMR, very well updated to offer maximum gaming performance. For an idea, the price of the older model it replaces 65o dollars.
