Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG 27"

Overview

The ASUS XG27UCG is a unique 27″ 4K high refresh rate IPS gaming monitor with a 1080p 320Hz Dual Mode and ELMB-Sync support. Apart from the expected downsides, such as low contrast ratio and somewhat blurry image at 1080p, it’s an excellent display. So, if you don’t mind these flaws, it’s definitely worth considering.
