First Impressions: Colours are pretty awesome and this is my first IPS Gaming Monitor. They do stand out. I had an old VA 60hz panel. I overclocked my refresh rate to 170hz and Games are smooth as butter. I just had to tweak some stuff to my liking and it all comes down to personal preference for whatever you are using it for the moment, ex. Movies, Games, Browsing, etc.. Notes: - There are minimal light bleeds / no dead pixels so mine came in excellent condition. It is supposed to advertise as DCI-P3 95% but the box says 90%. I'm guessing it's Asus's quality control from what I been hearing about. - Other minor things like changing sharpness in the monitor settings are not an option from what I've seen so far but that's not a big problem. -Also, the screen is very bright so I recommend using User Mode to adjust according to your needs. -There are some cool features such as ELMB but I don't use it for everything, I only use it for certain games that are fast-paced like CSGO, Overwatch etc.. -G-sync compatible so no screen tearing and the response time is fast when it comes to FPS games I've played so far. I would personally recommend this for people coming from old monitors that need an upgrade or serious gamers out there. Jumping from 60hz to 170hz is a huge difference for me so it was worth it. If you are trying to upgrade from 144hz to 170hz, there are no significant differences. This is the perfect monitor as it is well-rounded for all uses especially Gaming. Read more

PREVIOUS MONITOR Since 2016 I've used the Acer XB271HU 1440p, 165Hz, IPS, G-SYNC Module, 27" monitor for everything I did. That includes gaming, 3D modeling (Rhino3D, Maya, ZBrush), 3D rendering (Maxwell, VRay), photo editing (Photoshop, Lightroom), 2D graphics (Illustrator), and it did great for everything. I never calibrated it and colors were still decently good (not perfect) when printing physical copies of my work. For gaming, it was great and I could not have chosen a better monitor when I did for the various things I needed it for. NEW MONITOR (ASUS XG27AQM) To preface this, I've also used the Acer XB273U GX and the ASUS TUF VG259QM for several months each and at separate times each. Purchased them at Micro Center just for testing purposes (to see which I liked more) and not for ownership. I know some people prefer 24" monitors for gaming, but I personally can switch between 24" and 27" monitors just fine. It's only been one day since I received ASUS XG27AQM in the mail, but listed below are my PROS and CONS. Personally, it's worth the upgrade from my previous monitor (especially since I'll be looking to sell my XB271HU now). The ability to feel and play at frames higher than 165fps (especially if sustained and with a crisp frame time graph) is very noticeable and makes fast paced games much more enjoyable. I have not overclocked it to 270Hz because there's currently really no need to in my opinion (refer to CONS). SIDE NOTE (UPDATED) I'm also a bit cautious of the OC function because on my previous experience with the Acer XB273U GX and the ASUS TUF VG259QM. Both screens would go black for a few seconds and then the picture would come back. Granted, it also warns you when enabling the OC. I honestly didn't mind it, but it'd happen in the middle of a game which was annoying at times. I purchased an iVANKY DP1.4 cable (since the reviews were great) and the black screen still happened even when trying different ports on the monitors and graphics card. The OC function on my Acer XB271HU never caused the screen the go black, ever. Update: Since writing the review, I've overclocked the XG27AQM to 270Hz, and at least for my unit, the screen does not flicker or go black for a few seconds. Keeping it overclocked for the foreseeable future. PROS - 1440p - 240Hz (270Hz OC) - Very Responsive (Slightly quicker input lag than my previous monitor, but that's probably due to the increase Hz) - Good colors (Will most certainly calibrate this monitor though) - Arrived with zero dead pixels - No perceptible overshoot at Overdrive Setting 4 (I tried OD-5 as well, but I visually preferred OD-4) - Motion clarity at OD-4 with ELMB disabled is noticeably improved from my previous monitor - I have G-SYNC Compatible enabled and it works great (I personally don't notice a difference from a physical G-SYNC Module, and many well documented reviews for monitors only show an input lag increase of

Do not listen to most of these people who are giving this monitor bad reviews. This monitor is a beast and probably one of the best 1440p monitors out for this price. I would highly recommended this over its competitors and the 270hz doesn’t hurt either. Read more

Pros: -Responsiveness and Smothness, feels better or the same as the fastest TNs on the market. -The OC (270hz) works flawlessly with no problems. -Colors are on point, I did have to tweak them for a better use at a lower brightness and my likeness for 1.8 gamma instead of 2.2. -HDR looks really good, although brightness is too much since the contrast ratio isn't very good. -I play a lot of games at 60fps (Fighting games) and the monitor still feels super responsive at 60hz. -It comes with all the cables needed: Type C, DisplayPort, HDMI, power. And they all feel of good quality. Cons: -Contrast ratio is somewhat bad, it has 1000:1 contrast ratio, but compared to VA's, you can really notice it. -The calibration was just a tiny bit more saturated than normal. Read more
