Asus expands ROG Strix OLED range with new 280Hz and 240Hz gaming monitors

Asus ROG has expanded its display portfolio with three new 27-inch models: the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG Gen2, XG27ACDMS, and XG27AQDMES. These monitors offer users a choice between WOLED and QD-OLED panels, backed by a three-year warranty, and the comprehensive Asus OLED Care Pro suite.

The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG Gen2 is a 240Hz QHD WOLED monitor featuring a TrueBlack Glossy panel. This zero-haze layer and anti-reflective stack are designed to provide the deepest possible black levels and a peak brightness of 1300 nits, earning it VESA DisplayHDR 400 compliance.

For those who favour the QD-OLED sub-pixel structure, the ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDMS pushes the envelope with a 280Hz refresh rate, 10-bit colour depth, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. It also features a USB-C port with 15W power delivery, offering more versatile connectivity for laptop users. Meanwhile, the XG27AQDMES offers a specialised semi-glossy QD-OLED alternative at 240Hz, featuring the same true 10-bit colour depth but with a more conservative peak brightness of 400 nits.

All three monitors integrate the new Neo Proximity sensor, a hardware-level addition to the OLED Care Pro suite that automatically dims the screen when the user steps away, mitigating burn-in risk. Beyond the protection features, Asus has included a suite of AI-driven gameplay enhancements such as Dynamic Shadow Boost and a colour-shifting Dynamic Crosshair. For competitive players, an aspect-ratio control lets the screen switch to a 24.5-inch mode to match tournament standards. These and other settings can be managed directly through the DisplayWidget Center software or via the OSD.

KitGuru says: Out of these three new Asus monitors, which would you choose for your desk?
