Asus ROG Strix XG27AQGNV 27-inch G-Sync Pulsar gaming monitor review: Super smooth with unprecedented control
Asus delivers its take on G-Sync Pulsar with the ROG Strix XG27AQGNV. This 27-inch IPS panel sports smooth motion with 360 Hz, QHD resolution, HDR and wide gamut color.
The G-Sync Pulsar technology in Asus’ ROG Strix XB27AQNGV monitor syncs the backlight’s LED array with the frame rate in real time, eliminating motion blur without the brightness penalty. This novel method allows LCD panels to achieve perfect motion resolution, where moving objects appear as clear as stationary ones. The monitor boasts a 27-inch QHD IPS panel, capable of a maximum resolution of 2560x1440 at a refresh rate of 360 Hz.
It supports G-Sync Pulsar and FreeSync, ensuring a smooth visual experience even when frame rates fluctuate. With a response time of just 1ms, the panel delivers excellent overall performance. The monitor also offers a range of customization options, including three overdrive presets and a user-controlled overdrive with 400-step precision.
Additionally, it features a unique gamma control with 0.01 increments and precise RGB sliders for color temperature adjustments. The XB27AQNGV also comes with a comprehensive set of GamePlus options, including aiming points, frame counters, timers, and more. Priced at $500, it is considered a premium 27-inch QHD screen, but it stands out as one of only four monitors offering G-Sync Pulsar technology, making it a compelling choice for gamers seeking the smoothest possible visual experience.
