ASUS ROG Strix 26.5” 1440P QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (XG27ACDNG) -QHD (2560x1440), 360Hz, 0.03ms, Custom Heatsink, OLED Care+, G-SYNC Compatible, 99% DCI-P3, DisplayWidget, AI Gaming, 3yr Warranty

I have to say the XG27ACDNG takes the cake. The QD-OLED panel is jaw-dropping—colors are insanely vibrant, blacks are truly deep, and the contrast makes everything pop. From games to movies, everything is just better with this monitor. My older ASUS is an IPS and very good but the blacks are really black, man-o-man!The 1440p resolution on the 26.5” screen hits a sweet spot—super sharp without being overly taxing on my GPU. And with the ultra-fast refresh rate and response time, game play is buttery smooth.The build quality is great too—sturdy stand, easy navigation with the joystick menu, and plenty of input options. The matte anti-glare coating also helps with reflections.Pros of this monitor:- Incredibly vibrant colors and infinite contrast.- True blacks with no backlight bleed.- Instant response time for ultra-smooth motion.- Great viewing angles.Cons of this monitor:- Slightly lower peak brightness compared to mini-LED or high-end IPS panels.- Typically more expensive than traditional panel types. However, you get what you pay for.If you're serious about gaming and want a monitor that delivers on every front—performance, visuals, and style—this is 100% worth the investment. This monitor will definitely last 5+ years if taken care of properly.

Things I liked-360 Hz, moving the mouse cursor at desktop is silky smooth. No latency delay at all. When playing games, there is no ghosting or anything.-Value, I got this monitor on sale for $629 + tax. Great price for an semi-glossy monitor. I left the plastic coating sheet on the screen and it still looks great.-Built in FPS counter. I use this feature all the time to check what fps am i getting when playing games. Easier than using 3rd party software.-Able to plug in external pc speakers in the headset 3.5 jack and output sound. Perfect if you want to play console gaming on the monitor if on a budget.-Only took me probably 30 mins to set up and it worked fine. I never updated the firmware either.-Brightness is fine. I use the HDR when applicable for games. You have to manually turn on the HDR settings in windows before going into the games. Then you need to turn it off when you done using HDR. SDR colors looks better at desktop than HDR.Things I didn't like.-Can't raise the screen that high, but the monitor is at face level so I quickly got used to it.-Pixel cleaning reminder pop up is a hassle. It kills my immersion when I'm watching movie or playing game and it pops up. You can turn it off but I just do the 5 mins pixel cleaning every 8 hours so I don't risk or delaying getting burn in. So far no burn in after 3 months. Be sure to register your monitor to get the 3 year OLED burn in warranty.-Some old games won't display on this monitor like Resident Evil HD remaster that I noticed. Be sure to have an old monitor handy if you run into some problems.

Great monitor, perfect size for 1440p. OLED is wonderful and the 360hz refresh rate is so nice for quick and snappy gameplay.

Came from using a 1080p 165Hz IPS monitor so this was a big jump in picture quality and performance while gaming. The build quality of this monitor is exceptional as well as the value for the price. I really like how the monitor can tilt all different ways and can be used horizontally.

The Best 1440p Display. The only step up from this is going 4k. Inky blacks, vibrant colors. Much better text clarity than the cheaper WOLED screens. It gets brighter than other OLEDs ive tried and has great response times. The OLED care on this monitor is very comprehensive and I like the VESA mount provided for it.

Great Colors on the monitor, felt amazing to look at, but had issues right after I unboxed it.It had a few micro-dinks in the display, almost like someone poked needle-like holes in the top layer of the screen. I could see them in either bright or dark scenes or while browsing if I looked in that area, but I wouldn't return the monitor after noticing these. The screen is very sensitive from what it seems, so I'm not surprised by this.The next day I turned on the monitor and it flickered to a black screen for a second or two every minute. I am assuming it is a refresh rate issue after some troubleshooting, but I figured this monitor could handle 360hz with no problem at all. After not being able to solve the screen flickering, I decided to return it since it was unplayable.I have had an ASUS 1080p 240hz for 4 years with no problems, but this monitor just had problems right out of the gate, just be wary.
