ASUSROG Strix 24.5” 1080P Gaming Monitor (XG256Q) - Full HD, Fast IPS, 180Hz, 1ms, G-Sync Compatible/FreeSync, DisplayPort, HDMI, DisplayHDR400 , BLACK

Things I liked-360 Hz, moving the mouse cursor at desktop is silky smooth. No latency delay at all. When playing games, there is no ghosting or anything.-Value, I got this monitor on sale for $629 + tax. Great price for an semi-glossy monitor. I left the plastic coating sheet on the screen and it still looks great.-Built in FPS counter. I use this feature all the time to check what fps am i getting when playing games. Easier than using 3rd party software.-Able to plug in external pc speakers in the headset 3.5 jack and output sound. Perfect if you want to play console gaming on the monitor if on a budget.-Only took me probably 30 mins to set up and it worked fine. I never updated the firmware either.-Brightness is fine. I use the HDR when applicable for games. You have to manually turn on the HDR settings in windows before going into the games. Then you need to turn it off when you done using HDR. SDR colors looks better at desktop than HDR.Things I didn't like.-Can't raise the screen that high, but the monitor is at face level so I quickly got used to it.-Pixel cleaning reminder pop up is a hassle. It kills my immersion when I'm watching movie or playing game and it pops up. You can turn it off but I just do the 5 mins pixel cleaning every 8 hours so I don't risk or delaying getting burn in. So far no burn in after 3 months. Be sure to register your monitor to get the 3 year OLED burn in warranty.-Some old games won't display on this monitor like Resident Evil HD remaster that I noticed. Be sure to have an old monitor handy if you run into some problems.

I have to say the XG27ACDNG takes the cake. The QD-OLED panel is jaw-dropping—colors are insanely vibrant, blacks are truly deep, and the contrast makes everything pop. From games to movies, everything is just better with this monitor. My older ASUS is an IPS and very good but the blacks are really black, man-o-man!The 1440p resolution on the 26.5” screen hits a sweet spot—super sharp without being overly taxing on my GPU. And with the ultra-fast refresh rate and response time, game play is buttery smooth.The build quality is great too—sturdy stand, easy navigation with the joystick menu, and plenty of input options. The matte anti-glare coating also helps with reflections.Pros of this monitor:- Incredibly vibrant colors and infinite contrast.- True blacks with no backlight bleed.- Instant response time for ultra-smooth motion.- Great viewing angles.Cons of this monitor:- Slightly lower peak brightness compared to mini-LED or high-end IPS panels.- Typically more expensive than traditional panel types. However, you get what you pay for.If you're serious about gaming and want a monitor that delivers on every front—performance, visuals, and style—this is 100% worth the investment. This monitor will definitely last 5+ years if taken care of properly.

I’ve been using this 27″ QHD QD-OLED monitor for a couple of weeks now, and overall I’m really happy with it. The colors are incredibly vivid and the deep blacks make games and movies look stunning. The 360 Hz refresh rate and super-fast response time feel buttery smooth in fast-paced shooters—definitely gives me an edge in competitive play. The built-in KVM and USB-C power delivery are surprisingly handy for switching between my desktop and laptop without swapping cables, though the USB-C port can run a bit warm under load. My only gripe is the slight risk of OLED burn-in over time—so far I haven’t noticed any issues, but I do appreciate the Care+ features that automatically shift pixels and run pixel cleaning cycles.

This is the best gaming monitor that I have ever used. The OLED display, coupled with 360Hz refresh rate and HDR makes games pop and look beautiful when paired with my two most recent graphics cards — AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.
