ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCDMG 27" BLACK 2025

95 out of 100 high confidence 31 reviews

The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27UCDMG is overwhelmingly praised as a top-tier gaming monitor, with users highlighting its stunning 4K QD-OLED picture quality, deep blacks, vibrant colors, and buttery-smooth 240Hz refresh rate. Verified buyers consistently call it the best monitor they've ever used, noting excellent build quality and responsiveness. Minor drawbacks include a glossy screen that can reflect light, potential text clarity issues due to the subpixel layout, and a lack of included VESA screws, but these are far outweighed by the exceptional gaming and media experience. The Neo Proximity Sensor and OLED Care features provide peace of mind against burn-in, making it a highly recommended investment for enthusiasts.

Pros
  • Stunning 4K QD-OLED picture quality
  • Deep blacks and vibrant colors
  • Buttery-smooth 240Hz refresh rate
  • Excellent build quality
  • Fast 0.03ms response time
Cons
  • Glossy screen causes reflections
  • Text clarity issues due to subpixel layout
  • No VESA screws included
  • VESA mount adds extra depth
  • Neo Proximity Sensor unreliable at times
