Customer Ratings & Reviews

WOW. I have an OLED gaming monitor from another brand, but when I turned on the ASUS ROG Strix, I was blown away with the pops of color and deep blacks. I was so taken by this screen that I spent a good amount of time on my other OLED to adjust settings to try to get close to what the Strix looked like, but I could not get the color reproduction or the vibrancy I could with the ASUS. The ASUS ROG Strix is a feature packed monitor. The features help the screen look better, make it easy to connect to devices, give it versatility, and help gamers game. The look of the display is easily the best feature. As I mentioned, this panel blows away my other OLED monitor. What brand is my other? Must Say It is a good brand… Beyond the specs - 280Hz, 0.03ms, HDR, 10 bit true color - the ASUS just looks amazing. The reds and greens pop out of the screen like they have their own light source, more vibrant than anything I've seen any other monitor produce. I find my eyes drawn to it over my other monitors. Like most monitors, there are a ton of settings to adjust the screen to be just right depending on the person, environment, or even game-by-game. Connecting it is super easy. It has HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C connections for display. I prefer USB-C since it is smaller and more simple since it plugs in either way. One of the biggest concerns for an OLED screen, especially when gaming or computers are involved, is burn-in. ASUS has given me some peace of mind in that respect thanks to a couple features. It does pixel shift like most OLED monitors do, but the ASUS offers something I haven’t seen in others. The Neo Proximity Sensor will hopefully be a screen saver (pun 100% intended). It’s a sensor on the monitor that sits just below the center of the screen. It looks good with it’s red backlight, but more than that it senses if there is anyone in front of the monitor. If it does not sense motion it can perform several functions to keep the screen protected from burn-in. The ASUS has all the gaming specific features you need to keep your edge. The 280Hz refresh rate is amazing, 0.03ms response time feels like an instant, and the crosshair feature to help you see the crosshairs no matter the background, all make me more competitive in Destiny 2 - yes I still play Destiny 2 because it’s great. The Shadow Boost feature is also helpful in very dark environments, eh-hem - Destiny 2, by brightening the darker areas of the screen. The ASUS ROG Strix is by far the best monitor I’ve used. I used to think there was not much of a difference between a $300 and $700 OLED monitor with similar specs because they are both OLED, right? Wrong. Are the $300 OLEDs nice, yeah, but they just don’t look like this one. If you are between the two levels of OLED I encourage you to go to Best Buy and look at them in person. I imagine you will be like me, blown away at the differences. The color reproduction, the POP! I would absolutely recommend this monitor to anyone, especially gamers.

he Asus Rog Strix 27” 2k QD-OLED is the monitor I was most excited to try. I’ve experienced the first generation QD-OLED panel, and I was thoroughly impressed. So now, I couldn't wait to see what Asus brought to the table for the 3rd generation QD-OLED panels. Is the text clarity and brightness improved? Is the risk for burn-in still a thing in 2025 for QD-OLED panels? These are the questions I had going in before using the new monitor. How does it look? Coming in at 27” with a 280hz refresh rate at 2560X1440 is the sweet spot for me. The monitor has this hybrid-like matte style screen that rejects bright lights. The colors that the monitor displays must been seen in person to understand the beauty of this monitor. I haven’t even tried the HDR features, as Windows 11 seems to always have issues displaying HDR content correctly. I would rather leave the monitor as-is. The monitor is easy to assemble, and the base and stand takes up minimal space within my home setup. Host of features As soon as I unboxed the monitor and connected the included DisplayPort cable to my gaming desktop, I was met with a notification asking me to install Asus’s DisplayWidget Center software. I normally don't find additional software useful, but downloading this software made a lot of sense. The software is super neat because it gives the ability to update the settings of the monitor by using the DisplayWidget program instead of using the joystick style button underneath the monitor. One of the monitor's best features is the proximity sensor. It allows you to step away without having the need to turn off the monitor manually. The screen will turn black on it’s own. You also have the ability to adjust the distance of detection. Another great feature is Pixel cleaning. This is done while the monitor is asleep but will recommend every so often to perform a cleaning cycle. Overall thoughts My overall impression of the Asus Rog Strix 27” QD-OLED is that it is an excellent monitor. It has everything I was looking for. USB-C with Display Alt and power delivery, DisplayPort, and HDMI 2.1 port. The only thing I hoped for was to have increased power delivery in the USB-C port to power a gaming laptop. I can live with 15-watt power delivery to power my phone. I think I’ll be happy years to come with this one with all the great features this monitor has to offer.

The ASUS ROG Strix monitor is a great OLED monitor with a few extra goodies that make it worth the price point. ASUS took great care in packaging the monitor. There was nothing shifted in it the box which to me showed just how well crafted and engineered the packaging was. The packaging does contain styrofoam as compared to other brands which have opted for more eco-friendly alternatives. I did really like the additional care that ASUS took in presenting the additional accessories. The accessories come in a carrying case (bag?). It was a nice touch. I thought about how nice that would have been to have when I was 16 and going to LAN parties toting my monitor around. Assembly of the monitor was a breeze due in part to the straightforward construction of the base. It also helped that the display is ridiculously lightweight. The locking mechanism the display sits in felt incredibly secure. I did like the fact that this does have 90º of rotation. Quality of the image and the display was what I expected out of a 2k display. Colors were vibrant my games played very smoothly. I was pleasantly surprised by the UI as it was very user friendly. I like to tinker with display settings and the menus were rather easy to navigate. I was even more impressed by the lack of heat from the display. The heat management from this monitor is amazing. After 5+ hours of mixed use of watching movies and playing games the display felt like it was at an average ambient room temperature. The only complaint that I had with the display was that I felt that it had too large of a frame. Perhaps I have just been using some near borderless displays lately, but this one was just larger than I expected. Overall I really liked this monitor. The features on the display do add a nice touch and there is still more to play around with in the coming days. So far though, I love using it.

I have used a handful of OLED monitors in the past, including ultrawide models. My favorite so far has been this XG27ACDMS from ASUS. 27" 1440p screens are the sweet spot for productivity and gaming. You get more screen real estate and clarity over 1080p, but you don't need the raw horsepower required for 4K. This particular model has pretty standard specs for most QD-OLED panels. 280hz, .03ms response time, excellent colors, excellent motion handling, and perfect blacks/contrast. HDR is colorful and punchy, while not quite being as bright overall as a mini-led panel. Overall, it looks and performs amazing. Some other companies are offering similar size and resolution OLED panels at a lower price, but you always get quality and and abundance of features with ASUS products. The OLED Care system designed to reduce burn-in and keep the panel operating at peak performance seems to work very well. There are customizable reminders to run the pixel refresh every few hours, and it refreshes the pixels on its own while the screen is off and not being used. It feels like this panel will provide years of beautiful gaming without much hassle. The only downside I have with QD-OLED panels are the subpixel layout, and text isn't quite as clear as it is on an IPS/VA panel, but it's definitely useable and shouldn't bother most people who use their monitor primarily for gaming. If you are going to be gaming 90%+ on this screen, I highly recommend it. If you are going to be spending more than half of your time working or using your monitor for productivity, it's up to you whether the slight difference in text clarity bothers you or not.

Love the high contrast of color and the refresh rate is outstanding never going back to LCD panels. Worth the money imo game and content pop more with deep dark inky blacks and beautiful colors.

I have had numerous monitors now, and this is just one of 3 external monitors I use in my current setup, each a different brand, with the other 2 being 4K, but this one being the only OLED of the 3. From the first moment I turned it on, I knew this monitor was special. Even with lower resolution than the other monitors, it rivaled them in picture quality. Where this monitor really shines though is in the refresh rate. The picture is just so smooth, like ridiculously smooth. It's something that is immediately obvious the very moment you move your mouse around. That translates into accuracy, but more importantly speed. Which takes us into what this monitor is really best for, gaming. No where is speed and accuracy more important, and this monitor provides both. I'm by no means an elite gamer, but it's things like this monitor that keep improving my skills and making me a better gamer overall. This monitor is not the biggest, or the highest resolution, of all my monitors, but it has become the only one I use when gaming. I keep bringing that up because I hesitated at first when thinking about getting this monitor. I'm someone that tries to have the best of something. When this monitor came available I almost passed on it because in my mind, I already had 2 monitors with higher resolution, one of which was even bigger, but I figured it would at least be an upgrade for what was my previous third monitor. Little did I know this monitor would actually take the number 1 spot. So if you're hesitating like I was because it's not 4K, all I have to say is stop hesitating and just go for it. This monitor won't disappoint.

I’m extremely happy with this ROG Strix 27" 2K OLED. The combination of 1440p at 27" and 280Hz is a sweet spot for both competitive gaming and everyday use. Motion clarity is outstanding—fast FPS titles feel incredibly responsive, with no visible ghosting, and VRR (G-SYNC/FreeSync Premium Pro) keeps gameplay smooth without tearing. Image quality is the real highlight: true blacks, excellent contrast, and rich color make everything look “premium” in a way LCD just can’t match (and with zero backlight bleed). HDR is impressive in supported games/content once you dial in settings, and the monitor’s build/stand feel solid and easy to adjust.

It's an over all good monitor but does not let you actually set your display to 2k in game it reverts back to a lower setting. Other than that it is a great monitor good clear picture, refresh rate, and makes the colors in game look amazing

ASUS ROG Strix OLED 280 Hz is an outstanding monitor that delivers true OLED blacks, vibrant colors, and exceptionally smooth motion that’s immediately noticeable in fast-paced games. The 280 Hz refresh rate paired with near-instant pixel response makes competitive gaming feel incredibly fluid, while HDR content looks stunning thanks to the panel’s contrast. It’s a premium display with a premium price, but if you want top-tier performance and image quality in one package, it absolutely delivers.

The monitor is great 280h. The colors on the monitor are great I’ve had it a month or two now I’ve had no issues with it. It has a sensor on it so when u step away from the screen it shuts off to stop burn in from happening. It’s a Rog just buy it

Great monitor best one I have bought. Screen quality and picture quality is amazing.

[Employee of bestbuy] Monitor is great! 500 hz is quite fast and you definitely feel the motion clarity in fps games. The full blacks and even hdr content feel quite satisfying and the only thing i worry about is keeping the monitor clean.

Beautiful picture, fast refresh rate, absolutely gorgeous colors and deep blacks. Everything you would look for in a 1440p OLED and honestly I’m going to say fairly priced for a ROG item!

Very nice picture very nice colors deep blacks very nice contrast looks amazing. 1440p looked really nice clearest monitor I’ve ever used.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely top-tier OLED gaming monitor I’ve been using the ASUS ROG Strix 27” 2K OLED 280Hz monitor for a bit now, and it’s honestly one of the best displays I’ve ever owned. The OLED panel is the star here — the blacks are truly black, colors pop without looking oversaturated, and contrast is on another level compared to IPS or VA panels. The 280Hz refresh rate paired with the 0.03ms response time is unreal. Competitive games feel insanely smooth and responsive, with zero noticeable motion blur. G-SYNC / FreeSync Premium Pro works flawlessly, and I haven’t experienced any screen tearing or stuttering at all. HDR performance is excellent for an OLED monitor. Highlights look bright and detailed, while darker scenes keep depth without crushing blacks. It makes both gaming and content consumption look incredible. Build quality is solid and premium, as expected from the ROG line. The stand is sturdy and fully adjustable, and the design looks clean and aggressive without being over the top. Connectivity is great with both DisplayPort and HDMI options. I also appreciate the OLED care features ASUS includes to help prevent burn-in, which gives peace of mind for long gaming sessions or desktop use. Yes, it’s a premium-priced monitor — but if you’re serious about gaming or want one of the best visual experiences available right now, it’s 100% worth it. Easily a top-tier choice for competitive gamers and OLED fans alike. Highly recommend.

I use this on my expensive custom build and it is incredible. Picture, color depth, no dead pixels.

Great Monitor, I discovered long ago that IPS screens were the only screens for me. Well , that has now changed after using this OLED for over a week now. The colors are fantastic, prior to purchasing, I was researching OLEDs and was concerned about how text would look, No worries here, very happy with the appearance of the text. Highly recommend this monitor

Honestly great Oled monitor. Havent had any issues at all. Beautiful picture on it, and great optimization. Glossy panel on it as well. Definitely a great budget pick.

This was my first OLED monitor purchase and I have zero regrets. The colors look amazing and the images are nice and crisp. I would 100% buy this monitor again

DISCLAIMER: I am not a serious or expert gamer. With that being said, I must say this monitor is awesome for my gaming level. I purchased it for my Xbox Series X and my Apple Mini (M4). I am very happy with this monitor. The clarity is great. It was definitely easy to set up. The functions and or features are amazing. The Xbox and the Mini run great on it. I did hook up a Bose speaker, so the sound is perfect. I’ve had it for several months and purchased an extended (Best Buy) warranty, so I feel comfortable knowing I’m covered down the road. It hasn’t overheated while running the Xbox or Mini. I’m very satisfied with my purchase. I would also recommend it to anyone.
