Very high quality OLED I have been spooked by it's dedicated rest mode a few times though

This pc looks amazing oled really is the way to go also I like that the screen turns off with the proximity sensor to protect it from burn in.

By far the best monitor I personally have owned and Ill never be able to go back.

Excellent product, extreme quality, very good service, I highly recommend it

In most ways this satisfies what i want from a monitor. However, i have gad to go through the return and exchange process due to a defective model. Despite that, it has great contradt and true black hdr. Be careful to not pick at any dust particles with your nails at all, the coating is EXTREMELY sensitive.

Pretty great OLED monitor so far! Sharp image and beautiful color depth.

Honestly looks amazing but screen gets dirty really quick so dont touch it much

​"I ordered an ASUS ROG Strix 27" OLED monitor (BBY01-807152104573), which was marked as delivered on March 5th. However, the driver placed it in the wrong location and the item vanished. I even filed a Police Report (Theft of Mail #26-091415) with Honolulu PD. ​When I contacted support, Agent Austin misled me into paying for a second order (BBY01-807152909444) for a replacement, promising the original would be refunded. Then Agent Zimi caused more confusion by canceling the wrong order and stating the original couldn't be refunded. ​It took over 2 hours and an escalation to Manager Prince to get a Case ID (372401623) and a promise for a refund on both orders. As of now, my bank statement shows two charges of $628.26 but only one refund has been processed. I expect the second refund for the original lost item to be finalized immediately based on my HPD report and the manager's commitment."

Best monitor i got. My first oled monitor! Super Happy

The graphics look amazing and the response time is perfect.

This is a very respectable gaming monitor - bringing together a refresh rate up to 280hz and a decent 1440 resolution, all at my favorite size for advanced gaming. Deep blacks and punchy colors from its OLED make it especially well suited, with only a slight sub-pixel fidelity reduction when using it for productivity… I’ll explain more on that below. __ Design __ First off, I like the design here. Sure it’s a bit more chunky at the rear, but from the front and sides, it appears very clean and thin, with narrow (material) bezels. The actual screen is inset slightly, but the look is very modern and professional. I turned off the red light on the logo under the front edge to class it up a bit more, but even then, the amount of ‘gamer’ aesthetic from the front is minimal, which I appreciate. It’s not all that different than most monitors in appearance, but one unique feature is a threaded mount on the post, allowing easy attachment of streaming lights or cameras without a separate stand. Neat. __ Performance __ This monitor acts exactly as it should. It’s capable of very punchy colors and deep blacks that are inherent to most OLEDs, supports HDR and G-Sync/FreeSync Premium Pro. It’s a superior look that makes games look and feel all that much better. Even with that, the bulk of what you're buying in this particular model is in the fast response capabilities. When enabled (and capable, given the power of your machine) the faster refresh rates help games feel buttery smooth. For me, 280 Hz is more than generous, so choosing the even faster 500 Hz model seems unnecessary. But to each their own - some gaming enthusiasts may spring for more. The image is fantastic, and like I mentioned before, 1440 is somewhat of a sweet spot for performance in a gaming OLED at this size. Any lower resolution would make this noticeably poor for web searching or productivity as Windows becomes unable to smooth text well enough and legibility takes a hit. That’s the only gripe I have here. When comparing this side by side with an LCD panel, you can tell that text looks better on the LCD. This is just due to the sub-pixel layout of an OLED panel and the best way to improve it is usually to select a model with a higher pixel density. Again, that’s really just an issue for text. In games, none of that seems to matter - the image appears sharp and beautiful, but if you're more likely to want to make this an all-around monitor and don't really care about cutting edge refresh rates, your money may be better put toward a model with 4k resolution at 120-144hz. __ Overall __ This model has just about everything I’d want at this price point. Its OLED panel is beautiful and provides the fantastic image you’d expect. 1440p is good at 27”, but mainly for it's intended use for gaming, first and foremost. ASUS has a great design here, with a clean professional look from the front and the impression of thinness. The stand feels well crafted and sturdy, too. It’s easy to recommend for those who love gaming and are looking at 27” as their preferred size.

: This monitor completely exceeded my expectations. The OLED panel looks absolutely stunning — colors are vibrant, blacks are truly deep, and the contrast makes everything pop, whether I’m gaming or watching content. The 280Hz refresh rate combined with the 0.03ms response time makes gameplay insanely smooth. Fast-paced games feel super responsive, and I haven’t noticed any ghosting or blur at all. G-SYNC/FreeSync support also keeps everything buttery smooth with no screen tearing. The 2K resolution at 27” is the perfect balance between performance and visual clarity. It’s sharp without being overly demanding on my system. HDR performance is also impressive and really enhances the experience in supported games. Build quality feels premium, and the design looks clean and modern on my desk. Setup was quick and straightforward. Overall, if you’re looking for a high-end gaming monitor with top-tier performance and amazing visuals, this is absolutely worth it.

The ASUS - ROG Strix 27" 2K OLED 280Hz 0.03ms Gaming Monitor with G-SYNC/FreeSync Premium Pro and HDR (DisplayPort, HDMI) - Black is my new favorite gaming monitor. The size is perfect for me whether I'm working or gaming. It was nice to have a display port included with the monitor. Luckily, I already owned a high end HDMI since HDMI is not included. The total number of ports is 4. They include HDMI, display port, USB-C, and headphone port. This is perfect since I use my monitor for working and then switching to gaming mode when I want to unwind. When using the ASUS Display Widget Center, I recommend going to the user manual first and playing all available videos to familiarize yourself with the application. ASUS Display Widget Center provides an easier monitor control center when gaming with a laptop or PC. The OLED Care center is especially convenient to use and provides peace of mind when it comes to burn-in prevention. The taskbar detection, boundary detection, outer dimming control, and global dimming control settings are automatically set to the on position. Also note that the High Dynamic Range content power setting is automatically set to off position when your laptop is running on battery. This is another good automatic setting in my opinion. The setting functions on the monitor itself are easy to use if you do not want to use the Display Widget Center application. The OLED monitor is glossy and has an awesome appearance. When gaming, the refresh rate is exceptional with no lag that I can detect. I tested the dark gaming scenes and the picture still gives excellent resolution. First person shooter games are great on this monitor. I can pick targets far away and the picture is clear. I also hooked the monitor directly to a DVD player on HDMI and the picture is awesome. I used my earbuds for sound connected to the headphone jack on the monitor. The volume was set to 50 and I could not figure out how to adjust. This is probably a feature that does not exist on the monitor. If you have a high end wired ROG headset, you will overcome this issue with volume control directly on the headset. In summary, I like the sleek design of the monitor. The controls are easy to use and the Display Widget Center is an added benefit to making specific setting adjustments. The picture quality for work, movies, and gaming is extremely clear. The 280Hz with 0.03ms input lag is next level.

With recent monitors, including gaming monitors, adapting OLED technology, screen images, colors, blacks, whites, and overall accuracy is officially at another level. The ASUS - ROG Strix 27" 2K OLED Gaming Monitor excels in all of these features. The design, and look of the monitor is welcome on my desk. The on-screen adjustments are easy to navigate. The screen is absolutely gorgeous to look at for both gaming, and movies. The only fault lies in the resolution for text. 2560x1440 is simply not enough resolution to feast your eyes with razor sharp text. If you are going to be primarily using this model for gaming and movies only, you will be satisfied. If you want to use it for everything, including daily work, web browsing, or photo and video editing, you would be wise to choose the 32” model that offers full 3840x2160 4K resolution. Not only will the text be super sharp, which seems to be something I can’t live without these days, but the extra real estate (resolution) will go a long way for those that mix work and play. I tried several Xbox Live games ranging from platformers, to racing games, and even some DOOM. The color accuracy and response time is as advertised. This monitor looks really nice in game. With third generation OLED and a 280Hz refresh rate, plus 10 bit color, your eyes will be rewarded with a deeply colorful, and rich gaming experience. With OLED being self emissive, you can easily see the difference in the colors, as well as the blacks and whites. In a nutshell, each pixel displays its own color rendition perfectly, and the response time is almost immediate, making OLED gaming the new standard, whether you are using a PC, or a gaming console. Unlike older LED type monitors, when the OLED pixel is supposed to be black, it simply shuts itself off, and isn’t backlit, making the blacks truly black. Once you see the contrast, and clarity, as well as the speed OLED monitors can provide, you will be sold. While OLED is far superior to older style panels, there are still a few tradeoffs to consider. With newer OLED technology, there is always a risk of burn in. If you play games that have a static HUD on screen at all times, you may want to consider shorter gaming sessions to minimize the risk. One other thing to note is that OLED monitors tend to be just a tad less bright, but for a gaming monitor, that isn’t a very big deal, and something that will put less stress on your eyes anyway. Other noteworthy features that this line of monitors includes starts with the excellent “Neo Proximity Sensor” which is customizable, and automatically turns the screen off when you step away. This is a great feature that will undoubtedly give the monitor an extended life span and save you from accidental burn in, if for instance, you disabled your sleep or screensaver setting and the monitor stays on all night. I have had this happen to me personally! ASUS also includes two features called Pixel Cleaning, and Screen Move. After looking those features up, it basically means the monitor will recalibrate itself when it is idle, as well as shift pixels to further mitigate burn in possibilities. It seems that ASUS has done everything they can to keep these monitors running at peak performance while also considering longevity, and I truly appreciate that. I highly recommend downloading the ASUS Display Widget Center. It is an optional app that opens up the functionality of the ROG Strix display (see my screenshot). With this app, you can adjust every detail of the monitor, create and save custom profiles for different games, or tasks, and even update the firmware. One of the coolest things about this app is that it works with, and saves your settings directly to the monitor itself. The ports on this monitor are very minimal, and only include a single HDMI, and Display Port, as well as one 15W USB-C port. One thing to note, and a strange one at that, is that ASUS provides you with a zipper pouch that includes the power cable, and a Display Port cable, but no HDMI cable, or USB-C cable were included with mine. Keep that in mind if advance. **** PROS **** Excellent clarity and 10 bit color rendition, including blacks and whites Very fast with extremely low motion blur Fully customizable with the ASUS Display Widget Center Neo Proximity Sensor Vesa mount compatible 90 degree tilt on stand **** CONS **** Not sharp enough text for everyday use No HDMI or USB-C cable included

The Asus ROG Strix 27" OLED 280Hz gaming monitor is one of the latest premium, QD-OLED monitors within the Strix lineup. Offering 1440p resolution, blazing fast response time and refresh rates, and stunning colors, among a host of additional gaming features that ASUS has been known for. After using this monitor for a couple weeks, in a variety of conditions, it is clear that the QD-OLED technology has many benefits and is now my favorite monitor I have used. In the Box: - Monitor - Stand (Height, Tilt, Swivel, and Pivot) - Vesa Mount Kit - Displayport Cable - Power Cable - Quick Start Manual/Warranty Info - Cleaning Cloth Setup: Installing the monitor onto the stand is very easy. There is a base plate that has a retained screw which can be turned by hand. Simply place the stand on the base and tighten the screw. The monitor will then tilt and clip onto the stand. If you’re upgrading from a previous ASUS or another brand of monitor, you may be able to reuse some of the power and/or display cables that your current monitor has. Just be sure that the DisplayPort cable you're using is at least 1.4 and the HDMI is 2.1 or higher to ensure proper data passthrough. It’s nice to see this monitor has three different display connections available: DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB-C. While I was setting up the monitor and connecting it to my ASUS ROG laptop, I had some difficulties getting the screen to extend the display properly. My preferred connection type is DisplayPort through a USB-C hub. The fix was installing the DisplayWidget Center app onto my computer and updating the software for the monitor. It was a hiccup that I was not expecting but once everything was set up, it has been smooth sailing. Usage: If you’ve never had an OLED monitor, the immediate reaction you might have is… WOW. I have experienced OLED TV’s over the past couple years (I have never owned one) but to have a QD-OLED display 2 feet in front of your face is breathtaking. This is especially true when you are watching high res content with HDR enabled. The blacks and inky and the colors are bright, vivid, and high in saturation. The monitor features several modes you can toggle through using the menu and controls on the backside or the DisplayWidget Center that I mentioned above. When it comes to gaming, the experience is simply the best I have ever experienced. This is the highest refresh rate monitor I have used which has its own benefits but when combined with the OLED technology, it's truly an experience. I am not a competitive gamer but if I was, I am sure this monitor would be well suited for the 27” size. If you’re looking for more screen real estate, the good news is ASUS offers this in several sizes. One of my least favorite items is the “Pixel Cleaning” reminder that pops up in the lower right corner. This can be turned off completely or set to a certain amount of hours that the monitor has been turned on. I understand this is an important function to prevent burn in but what I don’t understand is that pixel cleaning occurs every time the monitor is turned off or goes to sleep with no input detected. I don't foresee many people ever needing the reminder unless they game for 8 hours or more without a break. One of my favorite features is the Neo Proximity Sensor, which has been updated from the older proximity sensors used in the past. The new sensor is a 940nm invisible laser which is more accurate and even offers multi-person detection. It’s very configurable for your particular setup and use case. Pros: - DisplayPort Cable Included - Amazing Colors, Brightness, Inky Blacks - High Refresh Rate - Stand Adjustability (Height, Tilt, Swivel, Pivot) - DisplayWidget App Cons: - HDMI Cable Not Included - Pixel Cleaning Prompt Too Often - Limited 15 Watt USB-C Charging Overall: Using this monitor has been the best experience I have ever had. The OD-OLED technology combined with high refresh rate elevates the gaming and day to day usage of this monitor. Between the very flexible stand to the included VESA mount adapter to the OLED care technology make this a monitor I would recommend to just about anyone.

The Asus XG27ACDMS monitor stands out with its high-quality OLED display, impressive HDR capabilities, smooth G-Sync performance, USB-C Display Port, and a fast refresh rate, offering an exceptional visual experience. Additionally, Asus provides extra mounting accessories for users who wish to install third-party desk or wall mounts. Display settings are easily adjusted via Asus’ “Display Widget Center” Windows application. It is truly a great display. However, the pixel refresh reminder, intended to help minimize burn-in, can be annoying. It often ignored user timer settings, although it can be dismissed when necessary. Setup: Inside the Box, you get the display, a small bag that you can use to organize cables, a power cord, a Display Port Cable (standard size), the traditional stand mount, and a mount designed to work with third party desk or wall mounts. Experience: I opted to hook the display up with an HDMI 2.1 cable. The reason was that I wanted to see if I could get G-Sync working over HDMI. I do not have a USB-C cable that I thought would be sufficient for DP over USB-C, so I opted to test via the HDMI 2.1 since that is the primary display out on my laptop and, I have a feeling, will be the primary hookup method for anyone on a gaming laptop. Results are that everything worked great. G-Sync was enabled assuming “Variable Refresh Rate” was enabled on the monitor and the monitor was set to the correct resolution and was the only active display. I should talk a bit about the stand included. It works well enough. With it you can raise, tilt, and rotate the display. For most users, this stand will be more than enough. But for those wanting desk or wall mounting options, Asus has you covered with an included mounting adapter. A few extras that I liked, in addition to the extra mount and the bag, are the included USB-C DP which can double as a 15w charger for phones or mobile devices. There is also a headphone jack if you wish to hook up speakers or headphones directly to the monitor. There is no USB hub, but I rarely use the hubs built-in to monitors and I appreciate that I did not have a bunch of extra connections or power cables to hook up. After hooking the monitor up and turning on Windows, I received a prompt to download and install the “Asus Display Widget Center” application. It is a solid option for customizing the display and works much better than the built-in controls for customizing the display. Although, I kept the display on the HDR settings which did limit customization. On more standard, non-HDR settings, I had to turn brightness down quite a bit as the display is very bright by default out of the box. Everything about this display is truly top notch. My only problem has been the annoying “pixel cleaning” reminders. I do not understand the need for the feature in the first place as the display will run a pixel display in standby after the PC has been shut off. Running a pixel cleaning every four to eight hours personally seems excessive and unnecessary. The built-in pixel cleaning reminders could pop up on the screen at random intervals every thirty minutes. The “Pixel Cleaning” feature is designed to prevent burn-in, a nuisance on OLED displays, but this is the first OLED display I have had that has been so persistent about running pixel cleanings. My experience with other brands was that the feature should only be manually run once or twice a year or there was a risk that the display could be damaged. I am not sure why this display is so persistent with the notification. Thankfully, the notification can be turned off. You can always check the OLED care section of the monitors on screen display to make sure that cleaning has been run recently. Conclusion: I really like this display, and it has become my go-to OLED monitor. The vibrant colors and deep blacks make movies and games look stunning, while the intuitive menu system makes adjusting settings effortless. The included features, such as a versatile stand, extra mounting adapter, and USB-C DP that doubles as a 15W charger, add to the overall convenience and ease of use. Pixel refresh reminders appear at random and can interrupt gaming sessions. But the notifications can thankfully be turned off. Despite this minor annoyance, anyone looking for a high-quality monitor should check this model out. 4.5/5

ASUS ROG Strix 27" 2K OLED 280Hz Gaming Monitor (XG27ACDMS) has a ​1. 2K (1440p) QD-OLED Panel putting it at the best spot for gaming. The 1440p resolution produces a sharper image than 1080p without requiring a more expensive graphics card that would be required for 4K at acceptable frame rates. Most gamers are very happy with this resolution. ​ The OLED allows true blacks with infinite contrast, making dark scenes in games look fantastic. The "QD" (Quantum Dot) layer ensures colors are brilliant and bright. The 280Hz Refresh Rate gives you silk smooth movement of the game elements that can give you an edge over other players using slower refreshing screens. The 0.03ms time means when you whip your camera around quickly, the images stay crystal clear with no visible ghosting, allowing for very precise aiming. The G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro will keeps the monitor in sync with your Nvidia or AMD graphics card frame rate so you won't see any tearing or stuttering when the frame rate changes. The monitor was very smooth during gaming even when the frame rate changes. The monitor comes with OLED advanced enhancement features that compliment the technology. OLED Care Pro and a Neo Proximity sensor both of these protect your expensive OLED investment by preventing burn-in. The proximity sensor turns off the screen when you leave, it works great. Why don't all OLED monitors have this? OLED Anti-Flicker Technology The Uniform Brightness setting is great! Unlike typical OLEDs that automatically dim the whole screen if a bright object during gameplay takes up a large area to protect the screen. This feature keeps the brightness level consistent, so your screen doesn't darken in the right middle of a critical moment. This is critical during gaming so you don't miss an enemy lurking in the darker areas. All of the OLED features reduce eyestrain allowing you to game longer. Even the stand design is thoughtfully designed to maximize deskspace so you have room for moving the mouse during gaming. ASUS even added a display widget center that lets you adjust all monitor settings directly from the Windows desktop using a mouse. This is so convenient during gaming no more fumbling for buttons to change a setting! The manual settings are still there though. All I can say is Wow, Asus has really built this monitor for gamers. Hopefully this will push other manufacturers to incorporate similar features at this price point. While this is not a 4k monitor you can't go wrong purchasing it for gaming.

I've seen OLED televisions, and a lot of phones - including mine - have OLED screens. They're something else, but eventually they lose their novelty a little. I wasn't sure this monitor would be any different when I received it, but man, I was absolutely proven wrong. The moment I plugged my computer in and turned it on, I knew I would be taking very, very good care of it, and hanging onto it for as long as I can. In short, it's wonderful. The screen is beautiful. It's sharp and crisp, the colors are bright and vivid, the latency is practically non-existent, the refresh rate is absolutely insane. Every time I sit down at the computer, I think about how amazing the screen looks. Every time I play a game on it, I'm a bit wowed by how much better it looks than it does on any other screen I've used. It's genuinely the best monitor I have ever used, by far. The features are fantastic as well. There's a lot of built-in things to help ensure the longevity and health of your OLED panel. It asks you every so often if you want to do a pixel refresh, which takes just a few minutes and makes sure there's no sticking pixels. There's a feature to do a slight, almost imperceptible jitter of the screen every so often to make sure the pixels aren't getting burned out. There's the neo proximity sensor, which detects when you've stepped away from the computer and turns the screen off after a few minutes, then turns it back on when you return. All of these wonderful features have plenty of options to customize it to your needs. It comes with this little zipper bag, where the literature, the power cable, and included DisplayPort cable are too. All very nice things. I genuinely only have one complaint. The refresh rate goes up to 280mHz. If you want to utilize all of those potential frames, you're gonna need a pretty beefy rig, and it can cost a lot of money. Most people aren't going to have a computer that can even come to close to that. If you're wanting to make the most of such a wonderful monitor, you may spend more than you'd otherwise be willing to. Of course, if you're buying this monitor in the first place, you probably already have a nice computer, but still. My rig ain't enough for this, and I thought I had a very nice one. Overall, this is an absolutely fantastic monitor. Will probably never think of getting a new one for many, many years to come.

I’ll get right to it. This is the best image I have ever seen in a monitor. Asus nailed it. To begin, the monitor is packaged incredibly well. Everything is easy to find and unpacking took just a minute. I had the base assembled in about two minutes. I was powered up with a picture in less than five minutes after unboxing. Boom! The picture quality stands out immediately. It is so bright and clear and the contrast is perfect. Plugging into the HDMI port was easy. My console looked the best it ever has. My old monitor was a high-end monitor and the difference was stunning. I was truly blown away by this Asus. The OLED screen is so realistic. The XG27ACDMS has a 26.5” screen. From corner to corner, the ROG Strix OLED shines. After some simple adjustments, the screen was perfect. The colors are so bold that they look lifelike. What stands out is the contrast. The black to white ratio is superb. The colors do not blend at all. Every color is separate from the others with no bleeding. One standout feature is the adjustments. For the first time, someone made a monitor with buttons that are easy to access and use. The navigation screen is easy to follow and making adjustments is super easy. The height adjustment stand is easy to use and makes the monitor super versatile since it also rotates 90 degrees with ease. I only wish this had two HDMI inputs. That is the only tiny complaint I have about this monitor. Bottom line, this is the best monitor I have used used and the image is superior to any one I have ever owned. Highly recommended!!!!!!

I got this as an upgrade to OLED from my Acer Predator XB273U IPS monitor (which, by the way, was a great monitor, which my daughter is now using). I am connecting to my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop through a Plugable 16-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock. I also switch over to my old Dell work laptop for Teams, spreadsheets, SAP and such. The monitor is fantastic. Bright, fast, wonderful for both gaming and work. To me, the text looks sharp from both laptops. Gaming is gorgeous, and movies are very good, not quite as good as my 4K TV of course, just a bit less sharp but the color is amazing. I use Asus's Display Widget Center software, I find it easier than using the monitor's built-in nub and menus. The build of this monitor is great. The unit is solid and has lots of maneuverability for the display. I like that the base is a small flat plate, not the long legs my old monitor had. This makes my desktop cleaner, and provides room for my Creative Stage SE soundbar to fit neatly under the monitor. Very pleased with the quality of build and display, and all the display modes available between work and different game genres. Glad I got this monitor!
