New gaming monitor launched

Asus has introduced the ROG Strix XG27ACMEG, a gaming monitor designed to provide extreme smoothness and high image quality. The monitor features a 27-inch IPS panel with a QHD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and a refresh rate of 260 Hz, making it suitable for competitive gaming.

Discounted price available

The monitor is currently available for 289 euros at E.Leclerc, a discount from its usual price of 329 euros, with the offer valid until November 1, 2026. This makes it more accessible for gamers looking for high-performance equipment at a reduced cost.

Sync technologies included

The monitor is compatible with Nvidia G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium technologies, allowing it to synchronize the refresh rate with the game's frame rate for better rendering without lag. These technologies help reduce screen tearing and stuttering during gameplay.

Design and build quality

The monitor has a simple black chassis with clean finishes and very thin borders on three sides, providing good immersion without requiring the user to turn their head excessively. The stand is sturdy and can be adjusted in height and tilt to accommodate different user preferences.

Connectivity and performance

It includes a DisplayPort 1.4 port, an HDMI 2.0 input, a USB-C port, and a 3.5 mm jack for connectivity. The monitor's brightness peaks at 400 cd/m², which is suitable for gaming or working indoors. The response time is 0.3 ms, minimizing delays during fast-paced gameplay.

Performance considerations

The monitor's performance in 1440p requires a solid graphics card, and with a modest configuration, it remains pleasant but may not reach the limits of recent games. Gamers with high-end systems will likely get the most out of its capabilities.
