This monitor – the box was so big, my neighbor thought it was a television and it took a bit of energy to unpack it myself. Connected via Displayport to a RTX 4090, and set at 2560 x 1440 at 180 Hz (Intel i9 14900k) running Windows 11 Workstation with 128 G of RAM, it's quite a dream machine.Everything I through and it worked perfectly. Downloaded a few demonstrations of current games and they all working fine. The same neighbor was more impressed with this monitor then the video card itself. Netflix and Amazon prime looked absolutely gorgeous because of the HDR. It is very physically sturdy and is well made. I turned my Windows desktop background to black just to see how dark it is – almost thought it was an OLED screen (and yes, I have an OLED tv so I know how ... MoreThis monitor – the box was so big, my neighbor thought it was a television and it took a bit of energy to unpack it myself.

I turned my Windows desktop background to black just to see how dark it is – almost thought it was an OLED screen (and yes, I have an OLED tv so I know how dark when it's black).The text (scale) at 100 percent is a bit small, but I can easily have two programs running side by side. Compared to a 240 Hz monitor (that I have), I couldn't tell the difference during a game play, but when I lowered it to 60 Hz, I saw the fast movements of the game that being played quite blurry.For under $300, the price is amazing considering that a couple of decades ago you could buy for the same amount of money, a plain VGA monitor that weighted a ton. It comes with all the cables and even cute sticker booklets if you are into that.By the way there is no VGA port in the back but it if you are going to spend this type of money for a said monitor, you would not connect a VGA output to this monitor anyway.This is a recommended gaming monitor and good just about for everything else and for streaming channel, as well.

The ASUS XG27WCS curved monitor is a great budget friendly monitor for any use. The VA screen looks decent from all angles, but obviously straight on is best, the refresh rate is fantastic, 2K display and HDR look decent, though the HDR is a bit underwhelming, but overall, this is a great display for gaming, production, or basic daily use. The monitor has a curve to it which is really nice when you have a dual display going. With traditional flat panels, the far edges tend to be difficult to see unless you have your monitors angled inward, and even then, it still can be difficult to see. But curved screens wrap around nicely and show you all corners of the screen.Speaking of dual displays, I have a monitor arm on my desk to hold two displays and this ASUS monitor ... MoreThe ASUS XG27WCS curved monitor is a great budget friendly monitor for any use.

But curved screens wrap around nicely and show you all corners of the screen.Speaking of dual displays, I have a monitor arm on my desk to hold two displays and this ASUS monitor fits the VESA mount style fine, no additional spacers or screws needed. Obviously this will vary depending on your mount type etc, but there are no deep indents or odd shapes to the back of this monitor.That said, the stand that comes with it is actually very good. Not a surprise from ASUS as they always seem to give you a small melee weapon of a stand made out of the heaviest metals you can think of (in a good way, this thing isn’t moving). The stand has up - down, left - right, tilt, as well as rotation movement available meaning you can get it placed right where you want it. There is also a small channel for your phone (or anything that size) at the base if you’re someone who likes to have their phone in front of you, or perhaps synced to your PC etc.Inputs include HDMI, display port and USB C and the included cable is actually a display port not an HDMI, nice to see that become the standard. Personally I’m swimming in HDMI’s but not display port cables. This turned out to be a very good thing because I originally used my existing display port cable to hook up the new monitor and thought there was an issue with the monitor at first because it kept blinking off and on. I found out my cable had a slight short in it and so I had to replace it, thankfully that was included in the box! Also worth noting, the box includes a very nice zipper bag for spare parts and cables, it looks about the size of a travel toiletries bag with a small netted window. Not something I’m used to seeing in my computer parts packages but I was very happy to see. I immediately filled it with misc. cables, screws, and monitor parts.Speaking of not skimping on extras, this monitor may be more in the budget friendly category but besides still boasting a great display, they also included most of the bells and whistles features you’d expect in a newer gaming/production monitor. Things like on screen FPS display, crosshair, VRR, blue light filter, gameplus etc.You also have the ability to fine tune the picture and color to your liking if you need to get a well calibrated display for production work and can save it as a user setting. This way you can have your vivid look for gaming and your calibrated look for editing and production if that’s your world.Overall, I am really enjoying this monitor. It’s a massive upgrade to the 1080 HD display I was using before. The 2K 1440 looks sharp, the HDR is decent (though not amazing to be fair) but the colors are bright and accurate. You can watch 4k HDR easily and if you’re gaming, you will have almost no ghosting (it’s basically not there, you have to look for it to see it) and a fantastic 180hz refresh rate. If you’re losing your match, it’s your skillz not your monitor.

Following a few initial hiccups, which I'll discuss shortly, this ASUS ROG turned out to be a decent gaming monitor.I was very excited to unbox this well-packed curved monitor and put it to use. Everything needed is included in the box, including the cables. Initially I was struck by two things - one, the excellent build quality of the fully adjustable stand, and two, the rather lackluster build quality of the monitor itself. The stand is solid, heavy, and seems like a tank compared to the very "soft", flimsy feel of the plastic monitor.The initial setup was not as seamless as anticipated. Use of the HDMI port yielded screen blackouts, which I initially thought might be related to my graphics card going bad. However, this continued on a second gaming computer. ... MoreFollowing a few initial hiccups, which I'll discuss shortly, this ASUS ROG turned out to be a decent gaming monitor.I was very excited to unbox this well-packed curved monitor and put it to use.

The stand is solid, heavy, and seems like a tank compared to the very "soft", flimsy feel of the plastic monitor.The initial setup was not as seamless as anticipated. Use of the HDMI port yielded screen blackouts, which I initially thought might be related to my graphics card going bad. However, this continued on a second gaming computer. Switching to the optical cable also did not fix this issue, and both laptops worked perfectly with other monitors. Oddly enough I switched back to HDMI but utilized a different cable and have had no issues since. I can't say I know what the issue was, but somehow it seems to be rectified.Now that the screen blackouts were no longer a thing, it was time to tweak the settings, which is easy enough to do with the joystick toggle and buttons on the back of the monitor. While the refresh rate and response rate are both certainly of the caliber to satisfy most gamers, the overall picture quality is just average. HDR yields a flat, darkened image regardless of the adjustments made. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely playable and useable, but it's not the greatest quality.Along that same line, there are many adjustments that may be made to the refresh rate, mode, colors, etc. along with presets that for many beginner gamers will fit the bill. Unfortunately, I think more seasoned gamers will be left wanting more.So why the 4-star rating? Quite simply, given the price point you would be hard pressed to find a curved gaming monitor with such a high refresh rate and low latency. So as long as you go in knowing what you're getting, you likely won't be disappointed.I would recommend this to a certain subset of people - those wanting an inexpensive curved monitor that are more along the line of an occasional or novice gamer.

The ASUS ROG Strix XG27WCS curved monitor is nice, and truly affordable for what technology you get. The 1440p resolution is optimal for this 27" display, with a suitable 180Hz refresh rate. After spending several hours using it, here's my review.The 1440p resolution on this monitor is great and my preferred resolution at this size display. Not surprisingly, the picture is sharp and colors are vibrant. Standard HDR400 gets the job done, but I opt not to use HDR. Instead there are different modes to choose from, all customizable, as well as a user mode. The 180Hz refresh rate is perfect for fast-paced gaming if your rig allows you to have it.The curvature of this display is 1500R, which most may find as optimal. For me, however, the curvature is too subtle and ... MoreThe ASUS ROG Strix XG27WCS curved monitor is nice, and truly affordable for what technology you get.

Not surprisingly, the picture is sharp and colors are vibrant. Standard HDR400 gets the job done, but I opt not to use HDR. Instead there are different modes to choose from, all customizable, as well as a user mode. The 180Hz refresh rate is perfect for fast-paced gaming if your rig allows you to have it.The curvature of this display is 1500R, which most may find as optimal. For me, however, the curvature is too subtle and doesn't make a significant difference, or any noticeable difference for that matter, in terms of immersive experience. For the record, I sit about two feet away from the display, so there may be some benefit if sitting closer.The monitor is equipped with ELMB, VRR, and ELMB Sync, all aimed at mitigating or eliminating ghosting and tearing. I prefer VRR over ELMB (although the differences are minor in actual use), but if you have AMD FreeSync, you can utilize ELMB Sync, which combines both low-motion blur and variable refresh rate. I do not have AMD FreeSync and was therefore unable to test ELMB Sync.Navigating the monitor’s OSD is fairly straightforward. Adjusting brightness, contrast, and other settings is hassle-free, and there are plenty of customization options to tailor the display to your liking. The monitor also features multiple connectivity options, including DisplayPort, HDMI (cable not included), and USB ports, providing flexibility for various setups and peripherals.When not using HDR, I'm absolutely taking advantage of the GameVisual feature. There are various optimized settings for different types of games and content. Each preset is customizable and allows you to adjust brightness, contrast, blue light filter, and other settings. It takes some tweaking to get right where you want, but the compare function is helpful here, too. Additionally, you can set different games and applications to trigger the different presets.The monitor comes with a DisplayPort cable but no HDMI cable. Chances are if you have a device with only HDMI output, you have a cable for it, but I wanted to make mention of this as it could be inconvenient for some who expect to receive all the compatible cables in the box.The design of the monitor is sleek and modern, although a multi-monitor setup would be not ideal, as the bezel is not very thin. The base of the monitor is somewhat large, taking up a considerable amount of desk space. This might be an issue for those with smaller desks like me. The base does includes a built-in phone holder, a thoughtful addition that both makes my phone easily accessible and helps to reduce clutter.Overall, the ASUS ROG Strix XG27WCS curved monitor offers decent performance and a fine range of features. The slight curvature, while not drastically enhancing the viewing experience, still adds a subtle aesthetic appeal. The exclusion of an HDMI cable is a minor inconvenience, but the included DisplayPort cable ensures you can fully utilize the monitor's capabilities. The large base may require some desk space adjustment.For anyone looking for a high-refresh-rate, high-resolution monitor with great design and useful features, this monitor is a solid choice. Despite a few minor drawbacks, it delivers outstanding visuals and performance, making it a worthy addition to any setup.
The Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS 27-inch curved 1440p display, is a great entry level gaming monitor, it won’t break the bank, and it’s not as capable as the Asus ROG Strix XG27AQMR, but at the price savings its worth a look. The XG27ACS Refresh Rate is 180Hz (overclockable), has a response time of 1ms GtG, has HDR600 and is an IPS Panel. The XG27ACS offers vibrant colors, good contrast for an IPS panel, and sharp visuals thanks to the 1440p resolution. It’s great for smooth gameplay, especially in fast-paced titles. It minimizes ghosting and blurring for a clear viewing experience. While it’s not the most amazing HDR experience, it can enhance the visuals in some games and movies. It is Freesync compatible and will eliminate screen tearing for a smoother gaming ... MoreThe Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS 27-inch curved 1440p display, is a great entry level gaming monitor, it won’t break the bank, and it’s not as capable as the Asus ROG Strix XG27AQMR, but at the price savings its worth a look.

The XG27ACS offers vibrant colors, good contrast for an IPS panel, and sharp visuals thanks to the 1440p resolution. It’s great for smooth gameplay, especially in fast-paced titles. It minimizes ghosting and blurring for a clear viewing experience. While it’s not the most amazing HDR experience, it can enhance the visuals in some games and movies. It is Freesync compatible and will eliminate screen tearing for a smoother gaming experience with compatible graphics cards. It offers rich connectivity options: Includes HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C ports.With the 180Hz capability of the Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS can significantly improve your visual experience in many games, especially those that emphasize fast-paced action or require split-second reactions. With Smoother Visuals the monitor can update the image on the screen 180 times per second. This means you'll see much smoother motion compared to a standard 60Hz monitor, which can make fast-moving objects appear blurry or jittery. With the high refresh rate it can also help reduce input lag, which is the time it takes for your monitor to display an image after your graphics card renders it. Lower input lag is crucial for competitive games where reaction time is critical.I went away from a 32” flat panel and found the XG27ACS a better fit for my space and with the curve, I don’t really miss the 32” screen. When choosing an Asus ROG Strix 27" curved 1440p monitor, consider your priorities. If you prioritize a high refresh rate for competitive gaming, the XG27AQMR is the best option, but it's also the most expensive. The XG27ACS is a more affordable option with some trade-offs.
I was excited to receive the ASUS - ROG Strix 27” Curved 1440P 180Hz FreeSync Gaming Monitor model XG27WCS. I had read the specifications for it and as a gamer was impressed by the 180Hz fast screen refresh rate and the ultra-speedy 1ms Gray to Gray response time. As both a gamer and photography and video editor I was impressed by the 95% (as opposed to a typical 90%) DCI-P3 (Digital Cinema Initiative) and the 125% sRGB rating which offers a wider range of colors at high saturation and vibrancy levels at up to 10-bit color / 16.7M Display Colors, which allows users to enjoy extremely colorful HDR content.In addition, the ASUS seems to have hit the sweet spot with this VA panel in the controversy as to whether IPS or VA is better.

IPS or In-Plane Switching LCD panels are known for faster refresh rates, low response times, and good color accuracy edge-to-edge, while VA or Vertical Alignment LCD panels are known for their high contrast ratios, which tells you how black the black will be compared to the white on a screen. This ASUS XG27WCS panel has a 3000:1 contrast ratio, which means that the blacks are 3000 times darker than the whites and is very good and much better than most IPS panels can muster; this is all while maintaining excellent color spaces, fast refreshes and fantastic response times. This is an awesome achievement for ASUS for an LCD display in this price range.In person, this display delivers on its specifications. The colors are fantastic edge-to-edge, the blacks are extremely dark and the gameplay is very smooth and clear on this immersive 27" curved screen. Add to that excellent monitor drivers and awesome monitor control software in the ASUS DisplayWidget Center and you have a great display for all users.I highly recommend the ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) XG27WCS!
This monitor is a gamer's delight. With a 27" curved display and a fast 180Hz refresh rate, you can be sure you're ahead of the game with the Asus ROG Strix.A true monster of a monitor, this bad boy is not for the minimalist. The display doesn't take long to set up - only a few screws to tighten and the screen snaps on easily at its rear center. The base is very heavy to securely prop its large screen. Once connected, you can raise and lower the eye-level of the screen with a little push up or down on the edges, or turn the display left or right depending on your desk configuration. Its base also has a functional slot to hold your mobile device front and center. The stem connecting the display to the base has a hollowed out center, which looks nice but doesn't ... MoreThis monitor is a gamer's delight.

Its base also has a functional slot to hold your mobile device front and center. The stem connecting the display to the base has a hollowed out center, which looks nice but doesn't help to hide the power cord or HDMI cable. I ran it along the back, left side of the stem and held it with cable ties to ensure a seamless, clutter-free aesthetic.Curved screens function to give users an immersive experience, and combined with the fast refresh rate and brilliant, vivid 1440p resolution, the ROG Strix does just that. This is the perfect monitor for an optimal gaming and multimedia environment. While it is on the smaller end of curved gaming monitors, it looks beautiful as the centerpiece of any workstation or gaming desk. While the center of the screen catches the eye and deservedly so, it's on the edges of the display where the ROG Strix stands out. It doesn't lose clarity or ghost during sessions, leaving the peripheral view undistracted and able to focus on the main task at hand.Asus's ROG Strix comes equipped with lots of connectivity options for multiple devices. Switch between your console on the HDMI to your laptop on the DisplayPort or USB-C connected mobile device. And the customizable settings on this display through the DisplayWidget Center are exhaustive but easy to configure, with specifications for every gaming or media type, from racing games to cinema views to FPS-centric settings.If you're looking for a quality curved gaming monitor with a simple setup and a brilliant display, the Asus ROG Strix is the one for you. Seamless refresh rates and customizable settings for any gaming experience make the ROG Strix a perfect option for gamers everywhere.

The monitor has a fast refresh rate of 180Hz and a low response time of 1ms. For a VA panel, there is very minimal ghosting, it’s so slight that I think you’d only notice it if you’re actively looking for it. It’s there, but is one of the best performing VA panels I’ve ever used.The other variant of this monitor is the ACS, which comes with an IPS panel, so please be aware of which one you are purchasing. If you want deeper blacks and better contrast ratio, I’d stick with a VA panel, like this WCS model. The IPS variant (ACS) will be almost completely ghost and blur free, but have much lower contrast ratio and black will look like gray most of the time.Features like HDR are present, but at only 400 nits, I wouldn’t recommend using HDR since the panel doesn’t get bright enough to truly experience it. VRR support is present and if you have AMD card you will get Freesync support. If you have an Nvidia card, this monitor is G-Sync compatible, so turning it on will enable VRR as well.ELMB can also help with motion blur, but will limit the screen brightness and lock you out of other features, which some users won’t like. Experiment with all the features to find the ones that best suit you, but right out of the box the monitor provides a bright, vivid picture that’s ready for gaming.FeaturesThe XG27WCS is packed with features that are designed to enhance the gaming experience. The monitor has a variety of gaming-specific features, such as GamePlus and GameVisual, which can put a crosshair on your screen or an FPS counter, amongst other things. I’m a pretty minimalistic person when it comes to features like these, so I don’t usually turn them on, but they are there and they do function.Features like blue light filtering are also present for those that will use this monitor later at night or for productivity instead of gaming. These additional features are all just icing on the cake as Asus doesn’t seem to skimp out on packing this budget monitor full of high end features.The adjustable stand is solid and works like a charm. This is a huge bonus because a lot of monitors at this price point come with a fixed stand that can be uncomfortable if you’re a little too tall or short.You’ll also get 1 DP, 1 HDMI and 1 USB-C port on the back for connectivity. USB-C is great to see on a monitor of this price and will allow for future connectivity as well.OverallThe Asus ROG Strix XG27WCS is a fantastic choice for the budget friendly gamer and offers a lot of features for its price point.ProsGreat contrast, vivid colors, deep blacksFast refresh rate and low response timeVariety of gaming-specific featuresAdjustable standConsSlight ghosting still present, even with Fast VA technologyQuestionable build quality
