Adaptive sync can be toggled on or off, but you’ll want to leave it on because it works in tandem with ELMB Sync if you wish.

The Asus XG27AQM is built like a tank so it should last quite a while as long as you don’t abuse it. Calibrating it with a colorimeter revealed the true quality of the Asus XG27AQM since it reduced the dE average to 0. Panel uniformity for the Asus XG27AQM was great overall since there were no considerable backlight leaks or clouding issues on its edges. ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) technology enables ELMB together with G-SYNC Compatible, eliminating ghosting and tearing for sharp gaming visuals with high frame rates.If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page.

Our overall impression of the XG27AQ’s HDR is that it is better than a monitor without dynamic contrast but not as good as a full-array local dimming display. The Asus XG27AQM has a distinct Strix design that’s eye-catching yet more subdued than the ROG Swift variants which have orange accents. This function is co-developed with input from pro gamers, allowing them to practice and improve their gaming skills. Still, you can compare the features of this one to the LG 32GP850-B which is another hybrid choice but it costs a little bit less.The Asus XG27AQM offers supreme speed and clarity in a premium package that personifies the ROG lifestyle and design. Fast IPS technology enables a 1ms response time (GTG) for sharp gaming visuals with high frame rates. It’s nice to be able to control the colors and themes especially if you have other ROG gear which can be synced entirely. The Asus XG27AQM is compatible with both FreeSync and G-Sync so finding a suitable GPU will not be a problem. However, its contrast is limited to 987:1 at 60% brightness so it’s still unable to produce deep blacks like other IPS monitors with special backlights.
