Customer Ratings & Reviews

I switched to this from the Samsung Odyssey G5, and I absolutely prefer it simply because it has so many more options in the menu to optimize the display for gaming or watching videos. The 180hz refresh rate is very usable for gaming, and the colors are nice and vibrant. I've experienced no issues with them (I bought two) so far, and am incredibly happy with them as of now. Also, for those of you that want to use VESA mounts, they can be fitted without the use of any adapter, and look fantastic mounted like this. 10/10 quality from ASUS on these.

The monitor sacrifices sound for performance but, who cares when you’re playing on a monitor. Most competitive anyways rather use a headset instead. This will automatically give you 1440p at 120 frames for both ps5 and Xbox series consoles. The colors are very vibrant and doesn’t fade/lag with no outer light interference. I’ll give this a 5 due to how it’s cheap and makes sense why there’s no sound in the first place.

We didn't encounter a problem with the monitor. Easy to use. Nice quality. My son use this for gaming. A little heavy to carry. Will definitely recommend. Was able to get it on sale.

Great monitor, super crisp and love the display. Really good resolution, and the stand makes it super convenient.

First off, the most important thing anyone should know is that this monitor has a VA panel and not an IPS panel like Best Buy claims. If you go to the ASUS website, the model XG27WCS has a VA Panel. XG27ACS has the IPS panel. In addition, this model (XG27WCS) is not G-Sync compatible like Best Buy claims. XG27ACS is G-Sync compatible. Not that G-Sync really matters anymore but still it is an inaccuracy that Best Buy should correct. I spoke with several people from Best Buy who all claimed the XG27WCS has an IPS panel and claimed the website is correct. This is false, they are just reading off of their spec sheets which are mistaken and are probably just the spec sheets for the XG27ACS. Someone at Best Buy needs to correct this information before someone gets really mad and claims false advertising especially when so many Best Buy reps keep doubling down on the inaccuracy. Now to the review. I was someone who actually wanted the VA panel monitor. After reaching out to Best Buy a handful of times and getting information that was factually incorrect, I just decided to go to the store and see for myself. This is the XG27WCS and the monitor is fantastic, the contrast ratio is amazing. The colors are incredible especially for a VA panel. The response time is great for a VA panel. ASUS really put some decent technology into this VA panel and it shows. This monitor really feels like something that was made in 2024 and for the price, I think it is hard to beat. I am only taking away one star because of the inaccuracy on Best Buys website. If they correct that info then this is truly a 5/5 product.

This is a beautiful monitor! The colors are so bright and vibrant. The refresh rate is high enough to produce smooth motion. I intended it as a secondary monitor, but I like it so much that I now use it as my primary!

This monitor is ideal for any gaming. Has a great refresh rate and ratio. Colors are immaculate. Best use with pc but I use for my series X and pc. For 250 price tag it’s hard to beat. You can only get a 1080 p Samsung monitor for 300.

Colors pop and picture quality is excellent. Great build quality with an excellent matte screen finish. Using for 1440p console gaming/second monitor. Wish they had a better menu button/on screen menu but I've used several ROG monitors so it wasn't a deal breaker.

I currently use a 25” Alienware display for gaming. This ASUS ROG Strix is my first curved monitor. I’ve been wanting something a little bigger. I’m not utilizing the stand as I mounted it on a dual monitor stand next to my Alienware. Going over it, and checking out the quality of the asus stand that came with this monitor, it appears well made, and both the base and neck swivel for easy adjustment. This monitor came with a very decent zippered bag for cord storage, or whatever you want to use it for honestly. (see photo) Strange as I’ve never seen any bag quite so nice with any other monitor I’ve purchased. Come to think of it, they don’t usually come with a zippered bag. I really really wanted to like the picture quality since it’s now my biggest monitor, and I plan on some serious gaming on it. Spent a considerable amount of time on it, adjusting the display levels , trying the presets, and testing it on a few games. At first I noticed there are very nice buttons for adjustments/menus on the back of the monitor. (see photo) These are well made and very responsive. I tried the FPS preset and Cinema, Racing presets while gaming. I tried the HDR, but after a long time of farting around, determined that it barely edged out the SDRGB clarity when compared. Even downloaded a Windows 11 HDR Calibration program. There is a side by side photo showing the best picture for both monitors (see photo) The Alienware is the monitor on the left and the ASUS ROG is on the right. It’s not even a comparison between the two images, due to the Alienware being so much better quality . Sorry Asus, Im just not too impressed with the quality of the image on this monitor. My 2 hours of learning how monitors are made, and how to set the image parameters, must not have been too fruitful otherwise. Tried everything I could to tweak it. Finally ended up on the best setting I could come up with, which was I believe full 180 Hz, HDR definition, and I believe Cinema mode. (see photo) Monitor speed there was absolutely no issue at all. Played hours of games and never any slowdown of the monitors capability of 180 Hz. That said it’s a decent enough display for those who aren’t too picky and it’s at your price point. For me I’ll use it as a backup gaming monitor instead, and as a 2nd screen for when I work from home.

Perfect size for gaming and school work. Love the slight curve. It's a nice size for on a desk for both computer work or to slide to the side to use the desk. Pricepoint is reasonable for entry level or mid level gaming PC or an pc really. Super easy assembly!

Outstanding monitor ! I use thia monitor daily and have never had any issues. 180hz looks amazing while gaming

I love this monitor, I upgraded from a laptop, so I find the size to be perfect. The video quality is really nice, very good color. I use mine for mostly Netflix and online gaming. It performs well for both!

I’ve been using the ASUS ROG Strix XG27WCS for a few weeks, and it’s honestly amazing. The 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make everything feel super smooth, especially in fast games. The Adaptive Sync feature eliminates tearing, and the Fast IPS panel makes colors pop without sacrificing performance. It’s been a perfect upgrade for both casual and competitive gaming. Highly recommend it!

Monitor is fantastic, I find the 180hz odd its not like the difference between 144 and 180 is that critical. Colors are good and not complaints. Really heavy though.

Really good monitor, very clear and crisp with colors. Good price as well, very nice upgrade from a 1080p Samsung monitor. Bought the non curved version as well for a second monitor

Looks great in my room, I enjoy the curved screen. Love the picture once settings are adjusted.

Great price with holiday savings. Noticable difference replacing two 22" 60 hz monitors with two new replacements, and uses less power.

Great picture its curved overall great. It just doesnt have a speaker.

I can tell the difference in the hz refresh rate with this from my old 60hz monitor.

Very good don’t notice any ghosting good quality also like the buttons on the back simple but work and good analog stick easy to change monitor settings.
