Fluid 4K Gaming with High Refresh Rate

The ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCGR features a native 4K resolution paired with a 162 Hz refresh rate. This combination delivers sharp imagery without sacrificing motion fluidity. Because the panel is a Fast IPS type, it maintains a 1 ms grey-to-grey response time. This reduces ghosting during rapid movements. So, whether you are exploring open worlds or competing in shooters, the visual experience remains smooth and detailed.

Superior Colour Accuracy and HDR
