Product Description

The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG is designed for competitive esports, high-frame-rate gaming and users seeking the deep black levels, colour performance and rapid response of QD-OLED display technology.

Its 26.5-inch viewable QD-OLED panel provides a 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution, refresh rate of up to 500Hz, and 0.03ms grey-to-grey response time for exceptionally smooth and responsive gameplay.

The display supports true 10-bit colour, covers 99% DCI-P3 and 145% sRGB, and is factory calibrated to achieve Delta E below 2 colour accuracy.

Typical brightness is rated at 300cd/m², while peak HDR brightness reaches up to 1,000cd/m². HDR10 and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 combine with the 1,500,000:1 typical contrast ratio to deliver deep blacks and detailed HDR highlights.

AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatibility help synchronise the monitor's refresh rate with compatible graphics hardware for smoother variable-refresh-rate gaming.

ROG OLED Anti-Flicker 2.0 is designed to reduce visible flicker during refresh-rate fluctuations. ASUS OLED Care Pro provides configurable panel-protection technologies, including the Neo Proximity Sensor.

When the sensor detects that the user has moved away, the display can transition to a black image to help protect the OLED panel.

A custom heatsink and internal airflow design assist with panel cooling and help reduce the risk of burn-in.
