ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced the availability of the ROG Strix XG27AQNGV, a 27-inch QHD esports gaming monitor built for competitive play. The display combines a fast 2560 x 1440 panel, ASUS Ultrafast IPS technology, and a 1-millisecond gray-to-gray response time to deliver ultra-smooth visuals with up to a 360Hz refresh rate.
G-SYNC Pulsar and Motion Clarity
The ROG Strix XG27AQNGV packs an NVIDIA G-SYNC processor with next-generation G-SYNC Pulsar technology. This implementation pairs G-SYNC Variable Refresh Rate with advanced backlight strobing to achieve up to four times the effective motion clarity of traditional LCD panels.
It offers the experience of a theoretical display running beyond 1000 Hz through a single feature toggle, supports ULMB 2, and is factory pre-calibrated.
Esports Dual Mode and Adaptive Comfort
The monitor also has an Esports Dual Mode that lets players switch to a familiar 25-inch diagonal view in 1080p or a sharper 2368 x 1332 resolution, with almost no perceptible latency difference compared to full-size operation. This aims to provide the lowest latency in its class for first-person shooter titles while preserving visual clarity.
There’s NVIDIA G-SYNC Ambient Adaptive technology which uses a built-in light sensor to automatically adjust brightness and color temperature and enhance comfort across different viewing environments during extended sessions.
Connectivity
The ROG Strix XG27AQNGV offers DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, dual HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB 3.2 hub, and a headphone jack to support a broad range of gaming devices and peripherals. The panel provides 400 cd/m² typical SDR brightness and up to 500 cd/m² peak brightness in HDR, plus wide viewing angles at 178 degrees horizontally and vertically.
Pricing and Availability
In the Philippines, the monitor is priced at PHP 45,000, and will be available around the second week of February 2026.
