Combining a 27-inch QHD QD-OLED panel with a 500Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms grey-to-grey response time, this monitor is engineered to close the gap between your reflexes and what appears on screen — making it an indispensable weapon for competitive esports players and fast-paced shooter enthusiasts alike.</p> <h3>Visual Clarity That Puts You a Step Ahead</h3> <p>The QD-OLED panel delivers a contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, ensuring blacks are truly black and colours are vivid and precisely rendered. With 99% DCI-P3 colour coverage, true 10-bit colour (1,073.7 million colours), and a Delta E of less than 2, every scene is reproduced with stunning accuracy. VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black certification and HDR10 support mean highlights punch with up to 1,000 cd/m² peak brightness, while shadow detail remains visible at the darkest end of the spectrum — giving you a genuine tactical edge in environments where spotting an opponent first is everything.</p> <h3>Tired of Ghosting Ruining the Critical Moment?</h3> <p>At 500Hz with a 0.03ms response time, ghosting and motion blur are practically eliminated. ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) technology further reduces trailing artefacts, keeping your target locked and your crosshair crisp even during the most frenetic firefights. OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 technology introduces a luminance compensation algorithm that maintains consistent brightness during refresh rate fluctuations, reducing flicker by 20% compared to previous-generation panels — so you can play long sessions without eye strain compromising your performance.</p> <h3>Built to Last — OLED Longevity Engineered In</h3> <p>ASUS OLED Care Pro is a comprehensive suite of panel-protection tools designed to maximise the lifespan of your investment. The built-in Neo Proximity Sensor detects when you step away from the display and automatically transitions to a black screen to prevent burn-in, restoring content the moment you return. A custom heatsink and optimised internal airflow further reduce thermal stress on the panel. Pixel Cleaning, Screen Move, taskbar detection, and logo brightness adjustment work quietly in the background — all manageable via the ASUS DisplayWidget Center application. The monitor carries a full 3-year warranty, including panel burn-in coverage.</p> <h3>Rich Connectivity for Every Setup</h3> <p>The XG27AQDPG is built to integrate seamlessly into any high-performance rig. A DisplayPort 1.4 DSC input, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a USB-C port with 90W Power Delivery ensure you can connect your gaming PC, console, and laptop without compromise. Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports on the hub keep peripherals within easy reach, while a 3.5mm headphone jack handles audio output. The ergonomic stand offers tilt, swivel, pivot, and 110mm height adjustment, and the 100x100mm VESA pattern supports third-party mounting solutions for the ultimate desk setup.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>27-inch QD-OLED panel with 2560x1440 (QHD) resolution and a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio for immersive, high-contrast visuals.</li> <li>500Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms (GTG) response time deliver ultra-fluid motion clarity built for competitive gaming.</li> <li>VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black and HDR10 support with up to 1,000 cd/m² peak brightness for stunning HDR performance.</li> <li>99% DCI-P3 colour gamut and true 10-bit colour (1,073.7M colours) with factory-calibrated Delta E &lt; 2 colour accuracy.</li> <li>FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC Compatible adaptive sync eliminate screen tearing and stuttering across supported systems.</li> <li>ASUS OLED Care Pro with Neo Proximity Sensor, OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0, Pixel Cleaning, and burn-in protection suite.</li> <li>Versatile connectivity: DisplayPort 1.4 DSC, 2x HDMI 2.1, USB-C (90W PD), 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and 3.5mm headphone jack.</li> <li>Fully ergonomic stand with tilt (+20°/–5°), swivel (±45°), pivot (±90°), and 110mm height adjustment, plus 100x100mm VESA support.</li> <li>Aura Sync RGB lighting and ROG Gaming A.I. features including Dynamic Crosshair, Dynamic Shadow Boost, and AI Visual enhancement.</li> </ul> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Screen Size: 27"</li> <li>Resolution: 2560x1440 (QHD)</li> <li>Panel Type: QD-OLED</li> <li>Refresh Rate: 500Hz</li> <li>Response Time: 0.03 ms</li> <li>Aspect Ratio: 16:9</li> <li>Brightness: 300</li> <li>HDR Support: VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black, HDR10</li> <li>Adaptive Sync: FreeSync Premium Pro &amp; G-SYNC Compatible</li> <li>Video Inputs: DisplayPort 1.4 DSC x1,HDMI 2.1 x2</li> <li>USB-C Input / PD: 90W</li> <li>Built-in Speakers: No</li> <li>Height Adjustable Stand: Yes</li> <li>VESA Mount: 100x100mm</li> <li>Product Dimensions: 61 x 16.9 x 50.2 cm</li> <li>Product Weight: 6600g</li> </ul> <h3>What's in the Box</h3> <ul> <li>ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG Gaming Monitor x1</li> <li>Quick release stand x1</li> <li>DisplayPort cable x1</li> <li>Power cord x1</li> <li>Microfiber cloth x1</li> <li>ROG pouch x1</li> <li>ROG sticker x1</li> <li>Quick start guide x1</li> <li>Warranty card x1</li> </ul> <h3>Why ASUS ROG</h3> <p>ASUS ROG — Republic of Gamers — exists to push the boundaries of what gaming hardware can achieve.
