Mid-Range 1440p Gets Faster! - Asus ROG Strix XG27AQMR Review

[@D3adLyStinG]

I was on the fence about buying this and frustrated by the lack of reviews. You guys delivered again, thank you so much! Wish you all the best.

[@rawdez_]

its an overpriced MEH monitor with fake crap HDR, nothing to be excited about.

[@D3adLyStinG]

@@rawdez_ What would you rather buy then? HDR is only worth it on an OLED monitor (or maybe mini LED with 1000+ zones). The WOLEDs have horrible text clarity, the QD-OLEDs are all curved, which is annoying for productivity. On the other hand, the PG27AQN is shockingly expensive. The XG27AQMR fills a niche with features that are important to me.

[@rawdez_]

​@@D3adLyStinG yeah, "features that are important to me", you're either a shill or a marketing victim. there's a ton of 1440p 165+Hz monitors priced twice less with which you won't be able to notice any difference with your eyes/brain.

[@G.Padilla]

@@rawdez_ You're setting the bar too low with 165+, specially if were considering pretty much all of those would be without variable overdrive. Mind you, rather than him looking like a shill, you look like a frustrated hater with buyer's remorse without even buying. It's OK if you can't justify buying one for yourself, just don't.

[@D3adLyStinG]

@@rawdez_ What are you even talking about? If you can't see the difference between 165 and 300 Hz, that is your own personal problem. Also the cheaper monitors have a ton of issues like lack of variable overdrive. I really hope you're trolling and not actually that stupid. Anyway, I'm done here, feel free to cry some more.

Yeah that price can not be considered mid range in my opinion. Cheapest that I can find it for is €800 (=$900 !!!) I went for the new AW2724DM as a midrange QHD monitor. It's 180Hz instead of 300Hz, but still enough for me and it came almost at half the price.

He said mid range for 1440p high refresh. Searching for 1440p 144hz+ I can find monitors anywhere between 200€ and 1300€. Seems fair to call 800€ midrange in my opinion, as 750€ would be the exact middle

@@stermi4510 tldr of this review: its a MEH monitor. never support overprice i.e. never try to bend price ranges to justify overprice, and no one would say you're shilling for crap value.

[@eukariootti1]

Here in Finland, the cheapest ones seem to be around 870 €, i.e. $950 (USD), including 24 % VAT. Without VAT, as US prices always(?) tend to be, it'd be about 700 € i.e. *$765* (USD). The most expensive 27" Gaming monitors (1440p, 16:9), including our VAT, seem to be ~ $1,420 (USD). The cheapest ones (High Refresh Rate 6/2023 --> 240 Hz) ~ $380 (USD). Naturally, sale prices can be lower etc. The middle point, i.e. (max + min) / 2, is somewhere around $900 (USD). Or about *$726* (USD) without our VAT. Or about $706 (USD) when using 165 Hz as lower limit. Of course, most Gamers won't/can't buy the most expensive top model --> average price is well below the middle point.

@@eukariootti1 thats not how ranges are calculated and its not how you arrive at midrange. because if it was like that all greedy corporations have to do to shift ranges up is to release overpriced AF crap. they try to do exactly that and then flood comments on yt with shilling full of stupid "calcuations" like that one of yours to try to justify their overprice. but only stupid people are buying that. ranges actually depend on buyers and worldwide economics, not on what rich stupid parents can afford to buy to their spoiled kids.

Just to give people here a heads up, I own this monitor and ELMB sync looks great above 165 hz, they lock the overdrive and the brightness so that's a downside but it's way clearer playing with ELMB sync than without ELMB sync if you can hit 165 fps and above in all your games. 10/10 would recommend if this is within your budget, even without strobing it looks pretty good.

Just got this monitor, and man, is it amazing. I've only played on 1920:1080, so going to a 1440p monitor was game-changing for me The 300hz maximum refresh rate feels so smooth and responsive. The colors are very accurate, and I love this monitors price because spending $500 for 60 more hz just didn't sit right with me. But if you're in the market for buying this monitor, I highly recommend it.

[@xblur17]

To be fair, it's not just for the extra 60hz. It has a G-Sync module, upgradable firmware, Nvidia's ULMB 2.0 (the best strobing and motion clarity on the market), a better panel (brighter, higher hz, better response times, half the input latency) and a better HDR experience. It's just a better all-around monitor. Whether that's worth $500 or not depends on the budget and usecase, but nontheless, I have both monitors for my dual monitor setup and this monitor is really great. I actually like using it for media because it has nicer contrast.

vrr strobing simply doesn't work the way people will want. To eliminate the random flickering caused by variable frametimes they use pwm techniques that gimps the motion and an effective pulsewidth that's way to large(mprt gimped), infact it can make motion worse then sample and hold the lower framerate you go. proper single strobed vrr with low pulsewidths is too flickery to put in a consumer product they will never do it. tiny variations in flickerate are extremely noticeable to human eyes even 10microseconds of jitter is visible as a candlelight flicker, why fixed hz is pretty much requried for good quality strobing. the way vrr-elmbsync works is by having a fixed black period at all refreshrates, if the black period is allways the same you won't see flicker then all they have to do is use pwm to equalize the average brightness. unfortunatly this results in mprt and crosstalk growing dramaticly as your framerate drops quickly becoming useless for increasing the quality of motion. should be called elmb-placebo

Hi, did you go for this monitor? As someone using this monitor for over half a year now, the AW2723DF is overall a great monitor. However there is a flaw, which is the reason why i looked into this monitor review. GSync on this monitor is kinda buggy. I get random artifacts (mainly green/pink lines appearing for less than a second, looks like a flicker) every 1-2 minutes with it enabled which is very distracting. And sadly there hasnt been any firmware update whatsoever that may fixes this issue.

1. is there a fan? 2. monitors without a native gsync module used to suffer notably higher input lag at non-native, fixed refresh rates due to their scaler. is this still an issue here? 3. What's the input lag with dsc off at 240Hz?

According to the charts listed here, it has better contrast, better motion performance, and similar color performance. It seems to be quite high on the charts, in many reviews, even though it is an older monitor. Really enjoying this channel!

[@orangecat1596]

He should review the new Odyssey G6 that actually has better Response Times than G7 but worse input lag

[@ooxenontitareoo7512]

There are plenty of things you haven't talked about. 1. The overdrive mode starts producing redish outlines on level 2, and it is really annoying at level 4. Maybe the response times and overshoots are best at that level, but the red color popping is annoying. For me, this red outline effect makes me loose focus. Turning it off, unless I'm around 300 hz. Around or below 200 hz, the red outlines get so bad that it hurts. 2. The monitor IS NOT COLOR CALIBRATED. Even tho you get a paper of it beign color calibrated in the factory, it isn't. The monitor has an insane green tint on it and the reds pop as hell. Tried, but haven't managed to get rid of both. The panel is either greenish or greenish. This effect comes from the fact that the blue channel is weak and green is too strong. 3. ELMB is useless, really hurts my eyes. The mentioned overdive red outlnes get even more insane 4. The panel has a semi-matte coating. It's not glossy and it's not matte either. I can see myself in the monitor quite clearly when seeing something black on screen. 5. The osd is neat and tidy, the software is also okay. 6. The default 70 contrast looks great but it's very bright. It hurts my eyes, so I need to use the contrast around 50-60. ! In general this panel is bad. Slow response times, incorrect colors, bad coating. Never buy this panel. I bough this because I trusted the rog strix line based on higher end panels and devices. I had an MSI monitor before with PERFECT colors and whitepoint. It died after 4 years, that's why I switched to this device. In hungary, we don't have a nice range of prices and devices. Our stock is quite limited compared to the US. Although I could have bought a better pannel, after all the wide gammut mode pops the colors correctly (a bit too good, had to reduce saturation to 40). As I have seen in videos, almost all strix panels have red tint on them. Guess they don't care about colors because it's a "GaMinG MoNiToR"... Guess DELL or LG will be my next purchase.

[@Klang_Neutal]

I tested the Asus ROG Swift PG27AQN and the Asus ROG Strix XG27AQMR in a direct comparison. In short, I have the feeling that both models have the same panel, only the XG27AQMR has been cut by 60 Hz. The colors as well as the image speed in terms of image clarity during fast movements (tested in CS 2 and Red Dead 2) are identical for both. Personally, I would say that the XG27AQMR is slightly ahead in terms of image movement. My friend also tested the monitors blindly and she couldn't tell any difference between the two models. Therefore the PG27AQN is not recommended.

[@FuIIDiveVR]

I think the PG27AQN more expensive because of ulmb. I use the elmb on my AQMR and it's really good with only slight crosstalk.

[@fretboardrunner]

The lower input latency indicates it's a different panel. This is probably an overclocked 240 Hz panel, which is why input lag is slightly faster than 240 Hz monitors, while the PG27 is a completely different beast. I still agree that it's probably not worth the extra cost. At the moment the XG27 is literally half the price in my country.

[@ERZAY2]

Hey Tim, I know this is more of a Steve thing but it’s related to resolutions as well. Would you two be willing to make a video where you bench mark GPUs at uncommon resolutions so we can see how performance slots into your normal carts? I have a 3440 x 1440 so I imagine I’d be in between 1440p and 4K but it’s hard to tell. It would also be neat to see triple 1080p and super ultrawide displays on that list.

[@MLWJ1993]

Just multiply the horizontal & vertical pixel count to get the total amount of pixels. That's what a GPU has to deal with. Then interpolate performance results if you're inbetween 2 known pixel counts for reasonably accurate results without needing to do additional testing.

[@babylorvbeats]

I have this monitor and coming from 165 hz to 300hz, I can not tell the difference in those two numbers. HDR is horrible, took me a while to turn it off in games.

[@davidbetancourt4028]

So what this seems to be telling me is that for optimal motion clarity *with* a resolution of 1440p, this is what you should use with ELMB @ 144hz. That seemed far and away clearer than anything else. I'd like this in an aspect ratio of 3440x1440 however. While the Hz is a reasonable indicator of clarity, I don't really care too much. If 144 Hz ELMB looks clearer in motion, that's my jam.

Hey, Tim, just have one suggestion in regard to your HDR review. I think the market in general, and your audiences in particular, are already educated enough to realise the drawback of HDR600 and below monitor certification. I don't think it's adding much to your current HUB essential checklist and should be moved to yellow or just don't mention in favour of a more severe issue. The reason I've mentioned this is because there are currently some monitors with HDR 1000 but still with an Edge-lit array and I think it's a much more serious case of misinformation that should be capitalised. If not putting it out of the current list, I would like to see an new tier of red flag that can be used to describe this sort of issue

Had it for a week, very satisfied with its performance so far. Some QC problems tho it seems. With elmb on the monitor makes a high pitched buzzing sound. Also weird green pixel effect with VividPixel option (asus sharpness setting).

[@martincech1277]

Hello, I need help. My monitor arrived today and I noticed a problem with a pure black screen in the form of vertical lines all over the screen. As if there was dirt on the glass after the drops. This problem is visible even when I sit directly in front of the screen. I don't know if it is a specific coating or a faulty screen. Do you also have the same problem?

[@gandalfdengra5580]

@@martincech1277 Haven't experienced that no, sounds faulty to me.

Should I buy this or Lg 27GR83Q-B ? Thx

[@yarincool1237]

Are you able to get hands on the aoc agon q24g2a/bk? because it looks very promising since there is no 24 inch 1440p monitors on the market.

[@justusthompson6736]

I just bought this monitor for my ps5. The two games I play the most are apex legends and Elden Ring. Should I return it and get something different? I spent $530 on it. I worried it as too much headroom with the 300hrz. Any advice? I'll keep it if it's going to work fine.

[@Clashy69]

If you're going to get a pc in the future keep it, if not then get a cheaper monitor if possible but this monitor can run all the ps5 stuff like 120hz mode,hdr,etc just not 4k also theres the LG 27GR83Q-B , this monitor is pretty good for consoles and pc and is way cheaper than the asus and has a bit better colors but its 240hz if u do get a pc in the future (price is usually $350 US but rn its $500 so if ur able to wait a bit for it to go back down)

Is the PQ better than Alienware AW2723DF (280Hz Fast IPS, Freesync Premium Pro, HDR600)?

[@steelsolid4real]

Please make the AW2723DF review. Looks like these two monitors have similar performance. Would be cool to see the comparison, considering Dell is 350$ cheaper in my region, while Asus costs 1000$ 🤯.

Any chance of a review of the new Lenovo 27" 250hz QHD IPS monitor? It has a very good competitive price here in the UK, barely 10% more than entry level QHD 144/165hz.

[@ja-nk3wm]

Elmb sync 2 on the 360 version is the absolute best.

[@Inwalidaa]

what should i get? AW2723DF or XG27AQMR. I want it for gaming i dont care about looks and price i just want performance. Or should i buy smth else?

aw2724dm review coming? 👀

[@svn5994]

Doubt it. We haven't gotten a review for 2723 and Acer's new 240hz monitor.

[@silvercola9155]

For anyone that owns this, is there any way to disable the blue light filter completely?

[@twistgaming3089]

This one doesnt have ULMB2 though, which makes it kind of pointless vs the AQN

Where would this rank against the Alienware 280hz IPS monitor? Seems to be the same price point

Id love to see hardware unboxed cover the Lenovo Y25g-30 It's a 360hz 1080p IPS panel for only $400 in the PH. I do hope you can cover it. I'd really like to see if it's any good 🤞

[@shredder3034]

Can I suggest you from now on to add name of the brand above monitor's specific name in backlight strobing section, because I don't know specific names on top of my head which monitor is from what brand?

[@vipercrazy-9]

Its now $570 USD on Amazon, 7-21.

[@micketkeong]

I think the only one mid range I will take is LG 27GR83Q, it has HDMI 2.1 as I have a PS5.

[@keizhardy931]

Gigabyte M27Q-P or LG27GP850-B? Which one is better overall?

[@BrotherO4]

its on discount right now for 560$!! on 7/22/23. i bagged it

[@allenliu8820]

I am actually trying to save up to get this monitor, but calling it a mid range is an understatement to how long it would take me to get one. There are some cheap monitors out there at 1080p with 165hz for about a hundred bucks with an IPS panel, so I hope that this monitor would get even cheaper to maybe 400 in the future.

[@nucl3arboNg]

Imagine comparing a 1080p low refresh monitor to a 1440p high refresh...

[@allenliu8820]

@@nucl3arboNg 165hz monitors isn't that low considering the current standard is 144hz and many people are still gaming on 60hz monitors but what i am trying to say is that since the 1080p monitors are now cheap i hope that 1440p will eventually get down in price like over the next few years like when 720p was considered good and 1080p was considered the best and back then those monitors were expensive, but over time they dropped in price

You have to review Acer Predator XB273U F and compare with Rog Strix PG27AQN and XG27AQMR

[@odayhojerat5541]

what is the game visual is the best? for games

[@yoyigu]

So what is the best configuration for this monitor? I am currently using Gsync ON without ELMB and it has less ghosting than activating that function. It looks very fluid when playing, it is excellent.

[@amirmohammad527]

Bro is this a better monitor or gp27q cooler master?

do u think its the same size as the asus tuf 4k 60hz 28inch monitor? I have a triple monitor setup and I want to buy that rog monitor but Idk if it'll be the perfect size

AOC AGON Q24G2A/BK 24inch IPS 1440p 165hz review?

[@Mallzyyy]

I really like watching your reviews because it goes in depth and I could always tell if a product is worth buying or not by watching your videos. Could you review the iiyama G-Master GB2790QSU-B1? This one is pretty much under the radar and more on the budget side of 1440p 240Hz but I want to know if it would be worth looking at?

[@none0403]

question is it LCD or LED and why no one say that anymore ? last monitor i bought turn out its LCD ! is there a way to know if its LCD or LED ?

[@TheChemicalTube]

Hi all..is the monitor updatable by usb or software??? Thank you

[@-INFERNUS-]

For me 1440p needs to be 24", next... What I'm waiting for is for AOC to release this model in the US: AOC Q24G2A I would also import it, but I can't find any stores selling it.

[@lucidnonsense942]

Why does this feel like the PGQM with the panel over driven and the gsync module taken out?

[@Ph42oN]

That ELMB-sync looks disappointing. Well working implementation of tech like that is what i want for my next monitor, but i dont need that high refresh rate because i rarely play games that can keep so high fps consistently.

[@astrea555]

Great review 300 is more than 144? no way! ELMB Sync makes me happy even if it isn't perfect for now.

ULMB2 = Nvidia G-sync module.

is the 360 hz better?

[@KenneyBear]

The 360HZ Just got ELMB 2 with a Firmware update and it's actually good. is this monitor getting ELMB 2.0 ?

[@MLWJ1993]

That's ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur) & a Nvidia G-sync module feature. Since this doesn't have a G-sync module it won't get ULMB2.
